LED Cinema Displays

I currently have a 17 inch Sylvania (Tan) and I've been saving up for a 30 inch ACD for 12 months now and I manage to put away $3,000, I know that's more then enough to purchase the current 30 inch ACD but my question to you guys is should I wait until Apple release the rest of LED Cinema Displays 20-30 Inch Displays for the desktops, I kinda like the new ones and hope it will come out at MacWorld 2009, do you guys think the rest of the LED ACD will come out at MacWorld 2009 and do you think it's worth waiting for? I'm not in a rush to purchase LED ACD because if Apple doesn't come out with adapters for mini display port then I might have to buy a new video card that supports mini display-port in order to work on my Mac Pro.

Well, I hope they do, but no one really knows for sure. I just hope it's not glossy (I'd hate to be looking at myself all day as I work).
My 24'' Dell died, so I had to get the current 30'' model even though it's not the best time to buy these any more. I bet you a new model will be announced in January .

Horizontal shifting bars on MBP 15 after disconnecting 24" LED cinema display and waking up from clamshell mode.

I use my MBP 15 (late 2011) with 24" Apple LED Cinema display in a clamshell mode. After disconnecting external display, and opening display, it shows horizontal shifted bars, so it becomes completely unusable. Have to hard reset laptop. Any hints on how to resolve this? Thanks.

Ok, more information for anyone that might care. The wake-up seems to be the familiar dark wake in order to go into hibernate mode. Except now, it's a death wake. Looking at the logs, I see that it happens exactly 70 minutes after sleeping, even though hibernatemode = 0 (which shouldn't hibernate at all!)
So my power settings look like this:
Currently in use:
standbydelay         4200
standby              1
halfdim              1
hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
darkwakes            0
gpuswitch            2
disksleep            10
sleep                10
autopoweroffdelay    14400
hibernatemode        0
autopoweroff         1
ttyskeepawake        1
displaysleep         2
acwake               0
lidwake              1
standbymode is 70 minutes, what a coincidence. I'm going to try setting it to 0 and see what that does.

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

How to connect multiple Apple LED Cinema Displays to MacBook Pro

I have an Apple 24 inch LED Cinema display that I run from my MB Pro. I mainly use the MB Pro+ screen for document editing.
I would like to run a second Apple 24 inch Cinema display from the MB Pro. I am presently running another monitor successfully via a Dynalink USB splitter but would really prefer to run a second Apple monitor. I have enquired at two Apple Stores and browsed lots of sites. Multiple monitors from MB Pro seems ok (as long as it's not two Apple monitors). I would be surprised if Apple is content to pass up the opportunity to sell more of these superb screens.
Grateful for any advice and suggestions

In addition to the one from Atlona, there are:

How to connect a new 27" LED Cinema Display to an older Mac Mini?

I bought a 27" LED Cinema Display (no Thunderbolt) but don't know how to connect it to my wife's older Mac Mini. I presume the Atlona adaptor is the solution, but I haven't bougt one yet.
robbert keegel

The cord attached to the display splits into a Mini DisplayPort, USB, and a MagSafe connector (for powering a laptop).
There is a separate connector on the back of the display for the AC power cord.

I need to connect my LED cinema display to nvidia quadro 4000 graphics card

I cant find any adapter to connect my "LED cinema display" to the brand new graphics card "nvidia quadro 4000 (for Mac pro)"
As i coldnt find any information since now, ihope someone can give me a hint.

They included the wrong DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. The correct adapter should have a female Mini DisplayPort connector, not male. You could buy the correct adapter or you could add a F-F Mini DisplayPort coupler

Try calling the, and asking for the correct adapter. They fo say:
"Connect to mini-DisplayPort displays through the included adapter cable"

Macbook pro screen blinks after connecting it to LED Cinema Display

Hello, just bought a 27 LED Cinema Display to connect my macbook pro 17 (early 2009).
Everything fine until today. After disconnecting my laptop to the display the screen of laptop blinks.
Never had this problem.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Ignacio

...but I need to be sure that my macbook will not stop working if I leave the problem with the screen blinks.
Of course you do — we all need to be sure our machines will keep working properly. Unfortunately, there's never any certainty about that, even if one's machine is working perfectly right now. But if it's any consolation, I've seen nothing posted in these forums to indicate that the blinks commonly foreshadow anything worse, so I think you can be reasonably confident that your machine isn't at the start of a predictable course of deterioration.

Is there a way to turn off a 24" LED Cinema Display without unplugging it?

I recently bought a 24" LED Cinema Display to use with my Macbook Air 13". However, it doesn't seem to have an "off" button. When I close the MacBook Air, the display is active - so it can be used with peripheries - but I'm not sure how to turn it off safely.
If there is no way to turn it off, which I suspect is the case, is it best to disconnect from the computer or from power to turn it off each day?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey ASMNYC,
While the Apple 24" LED Cinema Display does not have an off switch as such, and can not really be turned off short of disconnecting from power, it is possible to put the display into a low power consumption mode - display sleep. See this article for more information about Energy Saver modes -
About Energy Saver sleep and idle modes in Mac OS X - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

LED cinema display doesn't work under boot camp

I just installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 x64 on a Macbook Pro 2010 (6,2) with and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB video card. The Boot Camp drivers automatically installed during the process. I plugged in my 27 inch LED Cinema Display, which works just fine on the OS X side. However, the screen was dark, as if it wasn't plugged in.
Audio does go through the Cinema Display.
I have tried to repair the drivers twice by running the Boot Camp support software. I also tried to run the NVIDIA driver installation software separately. It failed.
So, what can I do to get the Cinema Display working?
Thanks.

I found a solution that worked for me. I deleted from my USB drive the Boot Camp support software that I had downloaded from the Apple website and downloaded in its place the support software through the Boot Camp Assistant program. I ran setup.exe, did the repair option and restarted. I then went to the NVIDIA driver install application on the USB drive and ran it. This time, it worked! I restarted the computer and both the laptop display and the Cinema Display lit up.
Originally, and during the previous 3 times trying to repair the drivers, I saw the ATI graphics driver getting installed. Somehow, it appears that the NVIDIA drivers didn't install before.
I hope this helps others.

How do i go about troubleshooting a 27" LED cinema display?

I am using a MacPro 5,1 (the tower, NOT the MacBook) with a 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor. I have a 27" LED Cinema Display (2048x1152) connected by the display port. Both were purchased new in 2011.
A while back (a year, maybe) my display refused to work. I unplugged the display from the power source and reconnected the port. I switched to the other port, but nothing seemed to work. Luckily, I have an extra, identical display (which was purchased at the same time as the original). I connected the extra to the computer and viola! Works perfectly. Okay, so there was something wrong with the display. I set it aside to figure out later (which we all know means it just sat in the corner collecting dust)
Here's where it gets weird. Several months down the road, I come in to work and the exact same thing happens. Except now, I'm swapping out with the original display. It works! So the extra monitor gets shuffled to the corner to do the dust collecting.
So, now here I am again, several months later. I come in this morning and no display. I plug in the extra display and wouldn't you know it, it inexplicably works.
I don't believe it is either of the ports on the tower. But I also don't believe it's the cables or the display. I kind of think there may be some sort of pixie or trickster playing pranks and giggling at my confusion. More likely there's some sort of technical explanation, but I'm not clever enough to figure it out. Any sort of advice, suggestions or protection spells would be appreciated.
If any more information about the hardware is required, just let me know.
Thanks!

If you have a USB keyboard, you can plug that in to the back of the Cinema display to adjust the brightness.

VMware Fusion and Apple LED Cinema Display

I have a 2008 MBP and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. My OS is 10.7.2.
I am running Windows 7 with the latest updates in VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. I have several issues.
1) When I go to chose my monitor it say Apple LED Cinema Display but "Generic Non-PnP Monitor." I downloaded and installed the boot camp drivers as I understood those contained the drivers for the monitor, but that didn't seem to help. Do I need to have the Boot Camp drivers?
2) When I try to access the Boot Camp Control panel in Windows 7 in Fusion I get "An error occured while tyring to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk." My guess is this is because the Boot Camp drivers are only needed if you actualy run Boot Camp.
3) In Windows I cannot choose the native resolution of the Apple display (2560 x 1440).
4) The resolution ia 1277 x 1234. That is weird.
5) If I minimze the Fusion window and then immediately open it, it looks fine. But if I wait for awhile and open it, the window will be black until I click inside of it.
Something is wrong, Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan

you have to separate out what is Fusion and what is Windows native.
Even doing updates to Windows sometimes should not or cannot be done properly in VM.
And there is no way to change the default boot drive - a VM doesn't have access and that is the host OS's job, not the guest's.
Install the latest AMD driver for mobility - and dont' use the "auto detect" - that is not going to work on Apple hardware.
You dont' run Boot Camp. But the Apple drivers and serives needed for hardware support, yes, they aren't running or loaded.

Will my MBA work with the new LED Cinema Display

I have a first generation MBA, model identifier MBA 1.1, and want to know if my mini display adapter will work with the new LED Cinema Display. I believe I have a micro-DVI that is different from the new MacBooks and MacBook Professional models that have a new Mini DisplayPort. If anyone is using this old MBA to new LED Cinema Display combination please let me know.

Scott,
The new display isn't shipping from Apple until some time in November so the only direct feedback you'll get is from anyone that's been to the store and played with the demo unit.
With that being said, it would appear (based on the system specs and requirements, posted on the site) that the new display requires the new adapter type that's found only on the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Apple 24 LED cinema display iogear dvi kvm

I want a good kvm solutiuon for swtiching a 24" LED Cinema display. I am swtiching between two mac computers. I have the altona minidisplay port kvm, which works ok, but I find it to be a little flaky. I purchased the 2 port professional startech USB kvm/hotkey with the displayport to minidisplay port cable. Unfortunatley, this did not work. The apple display would not power up.
I was thinking about returning this and purchasing the GCS1782 iogear dual link DVI. I would need a mini-dispaly port to DVi converter. Has anyone tried something like this?
As far as I know there is only the altona minidisplayport kvm (now discontinued) and I am not really happy with that. I am kind of pulling my hair out. I want a reliable, hotkey mac compatable, kvm solution that is easy use.
Any advice would be great!!!!

As another suggestion, I would also be interested in a HDMI KVM solution as well....
