Luminance problem in calibrating a Dell 2005FPW monitor

How can I reduce the luminance of the subject monitor (an LCD) from a 205 reading to the target reading of 140? I'm using Eye-One Photo with Match 3.6 profiling software. I've reduced the Brightness control to 0, but get that 205 reading. Contrast control is not an option.
Anyone have a workaround? Any other comments/advice?

what if you change your white balance setting or gamma.
Try native white point and 2.20 gamma

Color Calibrating a Dell u2711 monitor in 10.6

I bought the Dell u2711 monitor right before the Apple 27" monitor was announced. I have had a horrible time trying to get the color calibration right. I don't have a hardware color meter, but that hasn't been a real problem with past monitors.
It seems that the Dell monitor functions in a wider color space, so I am not getting predictable results using photoshop in sRGB (for web graphics) or in general. Even if I restrict the monitor to the sRGB colorspace, some colors, such as reds and yellows appear washed out, while blues look fine. If I use the standard color setting, the color is super saturated when compared to my MBP LCD.
What are the best practice settings for calibrating this monitor for day to day web work?

New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed. I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter. The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep. It would not rewake. After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode. Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods. Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable. This Dell Monitor had DVI connector. Hope this helps...

How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

Dell U2413 monitor thunderbolt connection problem

I am trying to connect a Dell U2413 monitor to my mac computer. I have two macs, an early 2011 macbook pro and a mid 2011 iMac both computers are running Maverics software.I am trying to connect with a Thunderbolt cable from the computer to the mini display port on the monitor.
The monitor will not work on either of my computers. The monitor either goes into sleep mode or I get a message saying there is no signal coming from the computer. The only menu item available on the monitor is to select the input port and this is set to mini display. As far as I know this setup should work OK.
I've checked out the monitor by connecting it to an old windows notebook with an HDMI cable and all as OK so the monitor appears to be working OK
As both macs only have 1 thunderbolt port I can't connect the monitor any other way.
Any ideas why the monitor will not work on the IMac and how to get it working please?

This has been a known problem for a couple releases now (see for example Second display problem with 10.9.4 and 10.9.4 - Thunderbolt display for 6630M (Mini mid-2011) still broken ).
Apple simply doesn't give a scheiß about it - but please file a bug at https://bugreport.apple.com -- they will close it as a duplicate (perhaps of 16197028), but this is our only [impotent] recourse.

I need your help, My old G4 monitor blew up, I want to get a Dell 2005FPW

This past weekend my old monitor finally died. I have been reading some pretty good reviews of the capibilites of the Dell 2005FPW 20.1" Flat Panel Monitor. Now my question to you is.....This will work fine right with my old G4 That is like 7 years old now right? I used to have the big bubble type moniter. I believe I have to aget an ADC TO DVI adapter??? if so where can this be purchased as the most reasonable cost and.
Does anyone else have this monitor and feel its a great value compared to the Apple brand?
please any info is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Ok I appreciate the response! I am for sure going to be getting the Dell monitor. Like I said previously my MAC G4 is probably 7 years old...give or take........The large bubble type stuido display that had the like 3 raised legs was what I had before. the end on that has I believe 14 pins.. and it is connected into the moniter meaning I have to buy a whole new cord unless the dell one comes with the cable to hook up Moniter to MAC? Could someone please get into the DVI a but more.....I really don't understand how do I know if my MAC even has that or whatever.......and i want to make sure I am getting the cable/adapter I need I really don't now right now what is what. Thanks!!!

Dell 2005FPW causing mouse lag?

I recently purchased the Dell 2005FPW 20.5" widescreen LCD and am running it at 1600x1050. I have noticed a slight amount of mouse lag since swapping monitors (was using a Viewsonic P95f+ CRT). It's apparent enough enough to be annoying when trying to click on small spaces, such as close window, etc. This was not so with the CRT.
I have a Dual 2Ghz Power Mac G5 with 2GB of RAM, and the ATI Radeon 9650 video card (256MB VRAM). Seems like the video card should handle this display with no problems. Anyone else experience this issue and know how to correct it?
I hooked the Viewsonic CRT and the problem went away, so I know it's related to the Dell display. Please advise.

LCDs often have a 25 millisecond, or longer, response time, mostly in the turning off (going to black). People complain about this causing fast moving objects to leaving trails. Instead using a faster LCD panel, some companies fix this by processing the signal before it gets to the LCD. This involves anticipating the response time of the LCD and adjusting the signal to compensate for it. LCDs are slower turning off so they want to get turn-off signals there faster than turn-on signal. The only way to do this is to delay turn-on signals. This is fine for watching video with fast moving objects (as long as you delay the sound by the same amount), but causes problems positioning a cursor quickly, or playing some video games.

MacBook and Dell 1801fp monitor... not agreeing

I have a MacBook running OS 10.4.11 Work bought me a Dell 1801fp and I can't get the monitor to pick anything up. I can see it in my System Preferences. I have tried using the F7 key but no luck. Any suggestions? I'm not expert but I thought I'd be able to get something this simple working.
Please help... I get so tired of all the PC "experts" telling me if I just switched to a PC all would be well with the world.

Are you using DVI? What resolution does that screen default to in System Preferences? Is that a current model Dell monitor - I couldn't find specs for it on Dell's site.
I've used quite a few Dell monitors with Macs, and never had a problem.
If that Dell has both DVI and analog (VGA) inputs, you'll need to push a button on the front of the monitor to tell it which input you're using. I suspect this is your problem.
Note: the F7 key toggles between 'extended desktop' and 'mirrored' modes. With rare exception, you don't want to use mirrored - it's basically for projectors.

Startup Conflict: Mac Air & Dell U2412M Monitor?

I've got a Dell U2412M monitor connected to my Macbook Air 11", running OS 10.8.5. But more than occasionally, the Air won't launch; I get the gray screen and the spinning beach ball. By unplugging the peripherals (the display port-to-monitor, the USB cable that runs from the computer to the monitor, and a USB hub), I seem to have isolated the problem as the USB cable that runs from the computer to the monitor. Anyone know why this happens, and how I can resolve the conflict?
I can launch by unplugging the peripherals, then plugging them in after the Air boots. But I'd like to get it working normally, if possible. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Did you resolve issue?

Dell 2005FPW, pivoted, with Apple 20" Cinema?

Is anyone using this configuration? I'm thinking of getting the Dell to use in portrait mode with the Apple 20" Cinema. Any advice would be ppreciated.
G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX 5200, Apple 20" Cinema display

Thanks again to all. The Dell 2005FPW does work splendidly with the Radeon 9600. I have them probably permanently set up with the Dell in portrait mode to the right of the Apple display. Each can easily have its resolution changed independently, although I don't think quite the same resolutions are available that were with the nVidia card. (not a big deal to me.) The Dell can pretty comfortably display a full orchestral score at a readable resoluton. It's also easy to disable one monitor with software if you only want one on, useful to me because both are behind a big plexiglass music desk, and the power buttons are inconvenient to reach.
I spent some time with Applecare before it was revealed (to several Applecare folks as well as me) that the power supply for the G5 is 600W, more than ample to power the Radeon, which acoording to THEIR tech support requires 250W. The line in the G5 manual that "Combined maximum power consumption by the AGP and PCI cards is 90W" is still a mystery to me and those several Applecare people, and doesn't interest the smarmy and unhelpful Radeon tech person. I don't see how this all adds up, but nothing has melted.
Thanks again, folks.

Illustrator keeps freezing after plugging in a new Dell U2715H monitor?

I just bought a new Dell U2715H monitor and ever since plugging it in Illustrator keeps freezing. It works for roughly 5-10 minutes then freezes. I just removed Illustrator CC and reinstalled so let's hope that works. Anybody else have this issue? What can I do to fix this problem?

Mac Mini late 2012 with 2 Dell u2913wm monitors?

Hey everyone,
I am currently using 2 19inch monitors connected to a late 2012 Mac Mini with the intel core i5 and the 4000 graphics. I have been looking and am either going to go for the dell 3007wfp's or dell u2913wm monitors depending on what is available at the time. I know the 3007wfp's are old but i'm not a fan of the current dell 30inch screens.
My question is would the Mac Mini be able to drive either of the screens? Keep in mind I want to run 2 of these monitors like I have been with the current 2. I could not go back to single monitor even with the ultra wide setup. ( Just me )
Would there be any problems you think i would encounter or would it be plug and play and work well???
Thanks
Dan

Macbook pro goes into power save mode with dell sp2208wfp monitor.

I have a macbook pro and am trying to connect it to a dell sp2208wfp monitor, I am using a hdmi cord and it goes straight to power save mode. My mac works on my roommates monitor and his PC works on my monitor but my mac doesn't work on my monitor. I've read the other forums and have found nothing. One guy suggested plugging the mac into a power source still nothing, any solutions before I try and sell this thing on craigslist?

Had the same issue a few months ago when I tried connecting to external monitor, it is only possible to run external displays from a Macbook Pro while the power cable is attached, if you try and connect to external display without having the charger attached the external display will flash your desk top for a second and then your Macbook Pro will go to sleep. Hence connect your charger every time you wish to connect to external display, its not a problem with your Macbook Pro, it's just the way of Apple. Hope that helps.

Will Dell 2005FPW work with my Radeon 9000 Pro?

I have a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro with 64 MB VRAM in my Quicksilver and I am looking to purchase a Dell 2005FPW. Will my old 9000 Pro drive it? Will it look okay? Or do I need to upgrade my card?
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Forums!
Yes.... it has one ADC and one DVI connector. As long as the Dell is DVI, no problem. If it's VGA, get an adapter for the DVI on the card.

Can I run two Dell 24" monitors with iMac 27" (5750) in portrait mode

Hi there, want to putchase the 5750-based iMac 27", but I have a pair of Dell 24" monitors I want to run with it, preferably both in portrait mode. Is this possible? Or if not, is it possible with some sort of adaptor/external graphics card?
Thanks kindly for any help:)
Shawn

HI Shawn Glibson,
the imac has one video output. a 30 dollar adapter can be used to hook up a DVI display. (mini-display to dv adapter)
But you can add additional displays through a USB to DVI adapter. For instance see2 xtreame uv200 http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/usbvideotechnology/see2-xtreme-uv200/ This is a great solution if you want to have another display for websites, office documents. a USB to DVI adapter isn't that great for 3D games.
I hope that helps
TT

Using a second DELL 1704 monitor ?

Hi,
I want to add my new Dell 1704 monitor as a second monitor to my mac;
I have purchased the Apple mini dvi adapter cable (how short is that!)
and have a DVI-i to the DVI-i cable into the dell monitor.
Ok, so it seems that the MAc knows its connected, as I can drag pages off the MAc screen
(but it does not show any other screen when I look in the display Preferences page)?
The dell does not display any image, just blank/black ; however when I disconnect the DVI-i cable it goes into screen sleep/test mode, and likewise wakes up when reconnected
(in doing so the mac screen also goes Blue, whilst it has a think)
I DO KNOW that other users on here, use an Imac with this very same DELL 1704 monitor
(nb I have checked it through VGA with my PC ((Grrr)) and it works fine)
Any ideas, why the Dell wont display the images ..?
thanks.

So what happened when you started up from your Mac OS X installation disc with the Dell display connected?
I could still be the Dell display, since you are using the VGA connector in one case and the DVI connector in another. The VGA port could be working properly, and the DVI port could be faulty. The display probably has a switch for changing between the using the VGA port and the DVI port. Make sure it is set properly. Also, the display probably has an on-screen menu; be sure to check it for anything related to "sleep" mode. It may also have a recessed reset button to put it back to default settings. If so, try pressing it.
You are also not using that DVI cable when connecting with VGA, so it could be defective (or not compatible in some way). Unless you actually see an image on the Dell display momentarily before it goes to sleep, I have no idea what being "recognized" means. Even if a display is turned OFF, if the connection is properly recognized by Mac OS X, the screen should appear in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab. If all the pins are not connecting, but some are, there may be some reaction when you connect them, but not actual recognition. So you could try another DVI cable (DVI-D); even a new cable can be bad. Take the adapter with you if you are buying locally, to makes sure the connector pins match.
The other two connection points are the Mini-DVI adapter and the iMac's port itself. You might try getting a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, and connecting the Dell display using the VGA port, since the Dell display does work with the PC over it's VGA port.
As I said, you need to do tests to rule out each of the four possible connection points between the iMac and the Dell display.
