New Dell monitor = fuzzy pdfs

Hi
Just changed monitor to dell u2413 which is brilliant other than pdf's are now fuzzy. Played around with page display settings but nothing changes, any ideas?
thanks

Not quite sure what could be causing this; if that were happening to me, the first thing I would check was the graphics driver version; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

New Dell Monitor with built in Webcam

I just got the new Dell monitor (SP2008WFP) that has the built in web cam. Everything works great with iChat in that I can see and hear the other person perfectly. However, they report that they hear a lot of echo which does not seem to disappear no matter what I do with input level or the output level. Either the microphone is very sensitive or the drivers for this webcam are not really perfected yet.
I have it set up on a Mac Pro with the output coming out of the digital output through speakers, and the input as the webcam microphone.
Any ideas anyone?
(For what its worth the monitor does seem to basically work for all those that were looking into getting one - I know I couldn't find anything on the web to confirm that it even worked)

Ralph,
Thanks for the response, you are quite a trooper on this forum!
I had my quicktime speed set for Cable (1Mbps) since that is what I have. On your suggestion I upped it to 1.5Mbps and in the video preview window it looks like the audio response from the mic is a little more 'snappy'. I will need to connect with someone to determine if this has really occurred though and I'll get back to you. Hopefully I made it clear before, but I am experiencing this delay in response even when I am not connected to anyone (just using the preview window in iChat), its almost like there is a delay in the mic picking up sound. I'd be surprised if changing the quicktime bandwidth helped, but I have to confess it does look better, so I have to give you credit.
Even though this monitor is a Dell, I really want it to work as I have been looking for an integrated solution for the Mac Pro for some time and Apple just doesn't appear to be coming out with it. The video is great, but the echo is very annoying. Hopefully if the delay is eliminated then the iChat software will do a better job of filtering out the echo. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the first post but the echo only appears on the other end of the iChat, everything on my end is perfect, no echo at all. However, the only new component in the mix from previous iChats is my new Dell monitor.
Thanks again for your help, I'll post back if this works.

My G5 won't "recognize" my New Dell Monitor - looks bad.

O.k. - So about three weeks ago my co-worker and I buy two identical monitors (dell E228WFP) for our two identical Macs - Dual 2GHZ PowerPC G5 running the new Leopard 10.5.2, GeForce FX 5200 video cards
we installed leopard right after putting in the monitors.... Leopard did not fix the problem...
So, not that I have to say it, but one computer recognizes the monitors just fine - reads the name, brand, and the native resolution - 1680 x 1050 @ 60hz, the other (mine), doesn't read it at all and so I am forced to select a resolution that's "close" to the optimum - which looks like crap.
Yes, we've swopped cords, monitors, everything - same results. My co-worker's monitor is read and looks great - mine does not.
I tried Dell's web site for drivers and it doesn't have any for MAC. hmm.... The CD that came with the monitors also did nothing for me.
Any help would be extremely appreciated! I don't won't to buy a new graphics card - especially when I'm not positive it will help....

o.k., I've waited a while to see if anyone had any ideas for me. I'm thinking my G5 might have some sort of graphics glitch unrelated to the actual graphics card. That said, my old CRT monitor looked great...
Is there anything in my software or hardware package that can keep my G5 from recognizing the Dell monitor properly?? Something that the identical G5 in the office would have, because the other one works just fine with the same monitor WITH my graphics card installed...

New Mac Mini won't connect with new Dell Monitor

I connected the power cord and then the HDMI from Mini to Monitor, but it said it needed a DVI-D cable. or it would in 5 minutes go into power save mode, which it did, so there's no picture from Mini Where would that connect on the Mini? Where can I get one and what is on the other end?
BTW, How can I tell if the Mini is on? I don't see any lights, but I did hear a sound the first time

There is a little light next to the black dot on the front of the Mac Mini.
light on = mac mini is on
light blinking slow = mac mini is sleeping
light off = mac mini is off
Did you push the power button on the back right hand corner of the mac mini.....?

I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

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?
I'm running a MacBook Pro Retina 15", Mid 2014
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

A fresh copy of Illustrator has seemed to fix this freeze.

I have a Dell monitor ST2210, which I want to connect to my new Macbookair, what software and drivers do I need to use?

Mar14Apple,
which resolution are you using when you use your monitor? Is that resolution supported through the monitor’s VGA port? (You’d probably have better throughput by using an adapter for the HDMI port or DVI port instead.) When you say that the trackpad doesn’t work, does that mean that the cursor is not visible on the monitor, or that it physically does not work, such that clicks are not registered, &c.?

Daisy chain 2 Dell monitors from new MBP retina

I have 2 Dell E2414H monitors. I cannot get my second montior to work. Here's what I've done.
Bought an HDMI to DVI. This works fine to monitor 1.
Used VGA from first monitor to VGA second montior.
Second monitor says VGA isn't detected. I've made triple sure it's plugged in.
Help?

So far I have NEVER heard of a monitor having a VGA port with the female type connector (typically an input to the monitor) that can drive a video signal out. It would require substantial "smarts" in the montor especially if the monitor were taking higher resolution video on the DVI input and (hypothetically) driving re-sampled video out the VGA.
Here's the link to the information for this Dell monitor:http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&sku=320-97 76
For $180 I am 99.999% certain this montor does not have the ability to both receive and transmit video signals.
DP 1.2 is the video port on the mac computer not on the diaplay and is irrelevant in this hardware scenario.

How do i connect a dell monitor u2715h to my macbook pro late 2013?

How do I connect a Dell monitor U2715H to my MacBook Pro. The only drivers provided are for Windows.

THanks, James. My daughter suggested I just plug in my new monitor since Macs often don't need as much driver support as Windows machines. Sure enough, that's all I had to do.

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Dell monitors go into power save cycle

I got 2 brand new Dell P2412H monitors to use as a dual display. However when the computer puts the display to sleep they go into a "Entering Power Save Mode" cycle and the display never shuts off it stays blue and continues to do that. This happens with either display even in single monitor setup. I have the problem on my old Powermac G5 and now on my new apple mac mini. What is happening?
I have read about similar problems here but they were not solved:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/p/19434910/200449 89.aspx
And this guy even made a youtube video of the same problem but different monitors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48EFXz6xIEU

I've tried a factory reset on the monitors. My monitors sleep settings are fine and they wake up from being asleep perfectly. As of this morning my little trick of unplugging them and swapping connections has stopped working. Now, when I swap cables the video card automatically assigns the primary video output to one of the monitors and keeps the other one asleep. very strange. So when I unplug the mini video adaptor from the dvi cord and then place that same cord in the native dvi output on the video card the card automatically reassigns the primary video output to that channel. So no matter how much witching I do I always end up with the system acting like I have a stretched desktop but with only the left display working while the right one is asleep. It's time to give apple support a call.

G5 Connecting to Dual Dell Monitors

hello,
this is a no brainer for most, but i am new to Mac. I have 2 Dell Monitor i want to hook them up to my Mac G5. I have those white DVI to VGA convertors i connected to the end of the Dell monitors and hooked up to the G5. I'm not getting any picture on either one of them. Can someone please tell me how i can hook both monitors up to my G5? Thank you so much..
Jeremy

Do the Dell monitors have multiple inputs? If so, you need to change the input settings to match how it's physically connected. For example, on my Dell 2405FPW, I have to set it to "Input 2" as that's the DVI input.
