NEC MultiSync 20" Widescreen LCD Display

This NEC display is being advertised at $200 (+$14 shipping). Wonder if this display has the same LCD panel as the Dell E207WFP display?? I do graphic design and had a chance to use the Dell E207WFP display once and did not like it at all comparing to my 20" Apple Cinema display.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi buddhahat
With Mirroring both displays use the same resolution and depending on the difference in native resolution, will depend on how funky one of them appears.
With Extended Desktop you have a preference panel for each display and a choice of resolution for each display.
For more info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303086
Using extended desktop open the Display Preferences, click Arrangement and follow the on screen instructions. Then just drag any open window from the iMac Display over to you other display window and away you go.

I have a 27" flat screen TV connected to my 17" Early Core Duo set to Extended Desktop. The TV Display is excellent for DVD movies in DVD Viewer, iPhoto previews & Slideshows, MS Word PowerPoint Slideshow & presentations, Quicktime videos, Web videos etc.. The only draw back is that working in text windows is a little rough.

Radeon 7000 with a 22" Widescreen LCD Display?

My Dad's 17" CRT monitor on his B&W G3 tower gave up its life, and I'm looking to replace it with a widescreen 22" LCD display (1680*1050 native resolution). The tower's stock ATI Rage 128 (16MB) card is most likely not able to handle this resolution (in addition, it lacks a DVI port, providing only analog output which I find looks rather crummy on an LCD display), so I'd also like to upgrade to a Radeon 7000 with a DVI port. There are a number of these cards floating around on eBay in 32MB and 64MB varieties. I also spotted the Radeon 9200 (PCI variety), which is more costly and probably beyond the needs of my Dad's web-browsing, mail, and iPhoto needs.
Has anyone successfully run a 22" widescreen display at native resolution via a DVI port, using a Radeon 7000? If so, does the 32MB variety suffice, or would I have to look at a 64MB variety? The Radeon 7000 specs page <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7000/radeon7000me/specs.html> does not list 1680*1050 resolution (nor any widescreen resolution for that matter), but neither does the specs page for the much more modern Radeon 9200 <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html>, so I figure that the specs pages don't tell the whole story. Thanks for any insights!

Yesterday I picked up a Samsung 216BW 21.6" display with 1680*1050 resolution. Although I'm still awaiting arrival of the Radeon 9200 (64MB) card, I thought I'd try to hook up the monitor to the stock Rage 128 (16MB) card to see what happens. I powered up the B&W G3, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Apple logo appear followed by the startup screen. I logged into my account, and found that the Rage 128 was actually displaying in widescreen mode, albeit at some non-native resolution. Naturally, the next step was to pull down the displays menu and check the other resolution options. The menu read as follows:
SyncMaster
1280 x 1024, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
I chose the last item (can't say why this item was listed twice), held my breath, and an instant later was blown away to find the old Rage driving the display at native resolution with a very decent looking image (even though this is over the analogue RGB cable). So I can confirm that the Rage 128 does support a 21.6" widescreen display at native resolution (and I would presume the same applies for 20" and 22" widescreen displays, since they all share the same resolution). I'll also mention that the B&W G3 tower is running Mac OS X 10.4.9.
In any case, I still don't regret having ordered the Radeon, as the Rage 128 does not properly support fullscreen slideshow mode and transitions in iPhoto 5, and my Dad spends a lot of his time dabbling with iPhoto slideshows.

IBook G4 and External Widescreen LCD?

Hi All,
I've been using the Screen Spanning Doctor successfully for a couple months, but am looking into getting a 19" widescreen LCD display (the Acer AL1916W to be exact).
Does anyone have any experience with hooking an iBook G4 up to an external widscreen display using the hack?
Thanks,
James

using a 24" widescreen Dell and the hack allows you to run it at the native resolution... you'll have no problems.

I have an older NEC MultiSync LCD 1700V monitor. I'm having trouble getting it to work with my MAC BOOK Pro with Mavericks. Is the monitor outdated?

I have an older NEC MultiSync LCD 1700V monitor I used for my MAC Power PC G5 (with the Tower). I am discarding the G% and have tried to connect to the laptop MAC BOOK Pro using the 15 pin dongle for connectivity. I get the screen with the desktop and icons, but I cannot get any applications or folders to come up on the screen. Is the monitor just outdated for the newer softward, or isk there some fix?
Please advise.

10.9 Mavericks changes the way displays are treated, and the new default is that each display is an independent workspace. This can be put back to the "correct" Extended Desktop way.
Windows in Mavericks reside in a single space by default, so they usually don't span multiple displays. When a window is dragged between displays, it appears translucent on one of the displays to indicate this. After you are done dragging the window, it snaps to one display.
If you need an app window to span multiple displays, deselect the option "Displays have separate Spaces" in the Mission Control pane of System Preferences.

Not able to mirror with NEC MultiSync LCD 1l980SXi

I have an iMac G4 with a 15" screen. I am trying to mirror with a NEC MultiSync LCD 1l980SXi but am unable to do it, all I get is a black screen that briefly states it is not receiving a signal. I understand that it should work but it's not. In the graphics info of About This Mac, it shows Mirror is set to "off", can this be changed to "on" somewhere and will that solve the problem? I have a mini VGA connection going out of the iMac and am hooked to the NEC with an odd looking plug. The NEC does work with my Power PC G3 and with an eMac. Anyone able to hold my hand and walk me through this?

Yes, on the PowerPC it matches at the 768 size and with the eMac it automatically adjusts to 1024 so I don't understand why it won't work with the iMac which is also at 1024. The eMac is a CRT display while the iMac is LCD which matches the NEC display. Does the mirror "off" indication on graphics info keep it from working? If so, how do I change it to "on"?

LCD display for graphic designer/photographer

My Mac Pro two 2.26 GHz Quad Core should arrive in a couple of days. I'm now in the process of choosing a 22"-24" LCD display monitor. As I am not attracted to the Apple 24" display's glossy surface, I've narrowed display choices down to these:
1) EIZO CG222W 22.2" Widescreen LCD
2) NEC MultiSync 2490WUXi 24.1" Widescreen LCD
Anyone using or know anything about either of these? I understand they are popular with graphic artists and photographers, but I am particularly interested in learning of any compatibility issues with the early 2009 Mac Pro/OS 10.5.6. NEC's support website notes possible compatibility issue between its 2490WUXi SpectraView II calibration software and OS 10.5.6.
If I chose the NEC model, could I use another calibration software/colorimeter with it instead? If not, then I would just go with the EIZO.

just got my two 26" NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi2 and hooked them up to a new nehalem mac pro with a radeon 4870. the monitors work perfectly. all i can say is wow. the color accuracy out of the box is great. the brightness uniformity is incredible. the blacks are really black and the whites are perfectly white. i've owned two 23" apple cinema displays and two 24" led cinema displays in the past, and these NECs look much better. very professional.
i do have two gripes with the 26" NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi2. its cased in some sort of plastic. the base is made from the same material. i'd rather have an aluminum casing and base like apple provides. the other grip is that there is a lot of flex where the actual panel attaches to the base. its a bit wobbly. this i don't like at all. they could have done something better with this. otherwise no other problems to report.
but all in all, the image on the screen is so good, that i won't complain anymore from this day forward. an absolutely stunning image on these screens. love em'!!

24" Widescreen LCD Acer goes blank

I have a 17" Macbook pro and a 24 inch widescreen LCD monitor by Acer (al2423w). I am trying to use both monitors in mirrored mode (lid up) using a usb mouse and the macbooks keyboard.
I have tried connecting the acer through the dvi-vga adapter and I've tried a direct dvi connection and the same thing happens with each - the acer works and then goes blank. Now I know the acer works because I used it as the primary display for my PC but for some reason when connected to my mac it works perfectly/beautifully/wonderfully for about 10 seconds... and then goes blank without any blinking error lights, or messages.
The monitor is detected, connected, powered, and even works and displays in mirrored mode but then for some reason stops. While it's working I can even change the resolutions and refresh rates without any problems.
I would greatly appreciate any explanations for this issue.

I reset the LCD monitors settings and all is harmonious and well.

Quicksilver G4 + Widescreen LCD DVI problem - VERY VERY WEIRD!

Hi,
I bought a G4/867 Quicksilver off eBay. It came with Panther. I already have a 20.1" BenQ widescreen LCD.
I installed Tiger, then noticed the DVI display would fail (display strange blue/black artefacts or a 'fuzzy screen'. I have screenshots if anybody wants them. It is intermittent, and usually occurs after one of the following events:
* powering on the computer
* waking from sleep
* switching from VGA (my pc) input to DVI (my mac) via the monitor
I tested:
* another video card (with native DVI): same problem
* another computer (Mac mini): no problem
* VGA: no problem
I returned the unit and got another. I ran Panther on it for a week with no problems. I just upgraded to Tiger. All the problems above are now happening again. It happened both on 10.4.0 and 10.4.6 (i.e. pre and post update).
If anyone has any experience at all in this, please post here or let me know if you need more info.
G4 Quicksilver 867 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 20.1" BenQ Widescreen LCD

Sorry, forgot to mention it is independent of screen resolution.
Native screen res is 1680x1050. And it works perfectly sometimes, just not reliably. Have tried at 1024x768, 1280x1024, 640x480 and replicated the fault on all of them.
It also happens at startup, which made me think hardware. But it could be as the OS display drivers are loading. The fact that it worked with Panther makes me think software.
Images available:
http://www.geekhut.com/mac1.jpg
http://www.geekhut.com/mac2.jpg
If it doesn't fail, the screen looks perfect. The same screen also works with a PC and other macs.
To clarify, the G4 is using an ADC-->DVI converter, but fault in this has been eliminated by:
- using the same converter with another dvi monitor (no problem)
- installing a native dvi graphics card in the g4 (same problem)

Connecting to NEC MultiSync 6fgp Monitor

I recently aquired a NEC MultiSync 6fGp monitor from a friend. Upon recieving it I unplugged the VGA cable from the back of my previous monitor and directly into my new one. It worked just fine, but I wanted to adjust the display settings, so I went in and hit detect displays so that it would gather the new info. It would no longer recognize the display as being present. I realize that it is a very old monitor, but I have not had any problems with any other monitors before, no matter how old, and it did work fine before I detected displays. I figured that I would try a reboot to see if that solved any problems. Upon reboot the screen turned on, displayed the startup screen of light blue, but when the login panel came up the external monitor shut off. After logging in, same deal, it would not detect the display. So now I am stuck and very confused. Is there any way for me to just tell OSX that the display is there? Or is there some step that I am missing? I have tried unplugging everything but the monitor, but no go there either. Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

I should have also included that my graphics card is the OEM Radeon 9600.

Bill, I have this monitor hooked up to my new Mac mini (Core Duo) via DVI, and it works at full 1440x900 resolution (at least that's what the LCD itself and the Settings screen on the Mac both say). I'm still working out the best font smoothing setting, as the default isn't so great, but the display definitely seems to work at full resolution with no setup required on my part. Not sure if it'll work on G4 or G5 machines, but it seems to do just fine on my Intel-based box.

Creative MP3 Player (Microphoto) Blank LCD Display Scr

[size="">Hi, The LCD Display Screen on the Creative MP3 Player is blank. The blue background light will come on but nothing on the screen. I saw that it was suggested to update the firmware, however, I have no idea how to do that. If someone can explain to me how to do that I will try it. Or maybe you can suggest something else that I can do. I already tried several things suggested on your website, like removing the battery and installing it again, etc. I would appreciate it if someone would help me. Thanks!

[size="">Good Morning,[size="">I tried the firmware upgrade, however, the screen is still blank. Should I have removed the batter and re-install it again?

Problem with LCD display on 17" iMac G4

The LCD display on my iMac went wacky on me yesterday. It's as though one of the three primary colors no longer works. The screen has a green tinge to it, and anything that's supposed to be black shows up as green. I've reset everything, run the Hardware Tools diagnostics (no problems found), and changed resloutions, monitor depth, and brightness levels many times. No luck. The screen is readable although very ugly.
Obviously I can take it to an Apple Store, but does anyone have any idea what it might be? I've searched the net and the forums and can't find anything close, but I know I can't be the only one to experience this problem. I called a mac repair shop a few minutes ago, and they said that the logic board would need to be replaced. I just can't believe that because nothing else is a problem.
Please help. Thanks.
17" iMac G4 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I "fixed" the problem a few days ago. Digging around here in the forums, I found another thread that gave explicit instructions on how to open the iMac and re-seat the connections. Here is the link (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196785&start=30&tstart=30). It's a post from Androcles made on 3/26/06.
Just as he indicates, when I did this I found nothing to be loose at all, however upon putting it all back together, on the 2nd re-boot all was back to normal and still is. It's amazing how clear and crisp the screen is after suffering through the green hue for a few weeks...
Good luck, and feel free to ask me for help if necessary.

Mega865 - No LCD Display

I' have the problem describe in the "Important Threads - Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865".
When I receive my Mega865, i tried it without processor and it seams works well. So I assemble it to work in PC mode and all is OK too.
Because I had the sound problem (no device found), I read the "Important Threads" and so I realise that my LCD display was not working too (i only use PC mode at this time).
I don't know if the two problems are in connection.
The sound problem disapear but I have still no Front Lcd Display.
I flashed the bios with the new version (1.3) and verified all the connectors that i could see.
What can I do more ? Is my MoBO dead ?
Thanks for your answer.
Vincent

i think it might have something to do with the proximity sensor and that sensor disables the phone functions when in call mode so that you do not accidentally press any other buttons.i think that it disables the touch screen when you put it close to your face. once you hand up the phone, it returns to normal operations right?

I have a slight crack in my mac book pro screen it is just on the top of the screen and the LCD display is working fine. i was wondering how much it would cost to fix it/ replace it.

About monitors and LCD displays

I want give you some directrices about the display sub system.
Like you all know there are CRT monitors and LCD displays.
CRT
CRT monitors are based upon electron beams hitting Electroluminescent phosphorus. In these monitors the most important parameters are:
1) Dot pitch
2) Refresh rate
Dot pitch is the size of a single phosphorus point, smaller is better. Typical values range between 0.24 and 0.25. Beware with monitors having a not constant dot pitch, there are monitors with dot pitch of 0.24 at center of screen and 0.25 at the borders. I recommend monitors with constant dot pitch size across all screen.
Refresh rate is the number of times a single electron beam travels across the screen drawing a single frame (from left to right and top to bottom) each second. It is measured in Herz (Hz). Bigger is better. Typical values range between 60 Hz and 120 Hz and the value depends upon resolution, more resolution goes to less possible refresh rate. If you are going to play games with shutter glasses, make sure your monitor is capable of 120 Hz minimun at the playing resolution. In 3D Stereo, each full 3D frame must be drawn 60 times/second (60 Hz) but a 3D frame is a single right eye frame and a single left eye frame, 60 Hz for left frame and 60 Hz for right frame are the full 120 Hz. If you CRT is not capable of these 120 Hz your eyes will suffer fatigue / strain and you would have a great headache after prolonged time periods.
LCD
A LCD display do not uses a electron beam to excite phosphorus and generate colored points, instead this it uses a grille and a special lamp. Instead drawing a frame line at line from top to bottom and left to right, it renders the frame in a step only and continuously, these displays are flat for this, there is no necesity for high voltage and magnetic fileds to move the electron beam. In these displays these are the more important parameters:
1) Dot pitch
2) Response time
3) Number of colors (color space)
Dot pitch is the same as with CRTs
Reponse time is the time it gets going from pure white to pure black. Less is better. It is measured in miliseconds. Good typical values range about 16 ms. If you are going to use the LCD to play games, response time is the more important parameter at all.
Number of colors are the simultaneus colors in screen. It have a inverse relationship with response time. It is measured in million of colors or bits. 24 bits of color depth are 16.7 million of colors. Typical values range agout 16 / 16.7 millions. Greater is better. LCDs with 16 ms response time have, usually, 16.5 millions of colors.
Somethimes, the manufacturer will provide you drivers (setup or inf files) for your operating system. I recomend install this drivers. Don't panic if there are no drivers for your display device, Windows, probably, will find the suitable driver for your brand and model.
If you have a CRT and you are stuck at 60~85 Hz you will need the right driver because Windows would not have found a suitable driver from its drivers base and it chose a standard monitor driver.
If you have a LCD and you are stuck at 60 Hz, all is fine, as i have told you yet, LCD displays paint the screen continuously, you will not appreciate any flicker at 60 Hz in these devices. You can check this if you have a digital camera, make a photo of a CRT with a shutter of <monitor refresh rate> * 1.5. You will see a partially drawn picture. If you take a photo of a LCD with the same shutter rules you will get a full picture. With LCD you will get full pictures always, independently of the shutter.
I hope al this info will be helpful to you.

I have found a very interesting link on the Anandtech Web site about LCDs, it is a old one but i think it will be useful.
The link is this
