New display for powerbook

hi
I have a 867mhz powerbook g4, the 12inch model, and am looking to buy an external monitor as I need more room for the work I'm now doing. I was wondering if anyone knows whether I can connect one of the new 20" cinema displays to the powerbook. I'm not sure if the machine has the correct ports or even if there is enough video memory to use an external display.
any help would be greatly appreciated
many thanks

I'm not sure how screen sharing works, but that sounds like there is a possibility of it doing at least partly what I want.
screen sharing works wirelessly or hard wired.
If compatibility is such a problem,
that goes mostly for software. you can exchange any kind of files but i'd go easy on bringing apps from the PPC to the Intel platform. see _*A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs*_.
could I use the g4 powerbook purely as a wireless access to the mini - so it uses the intel processor and disc and the g4 just really is like a remote dumb terminal?
basically yes - but you may experience "delayed action" coz all your keyboard and mouse inputs are send via the network.
alternatively, a combination of bluetooth keyboard (paired with the mini) and ScreenRecycler might work for you.
Or does it have to be physically connected to the mac mini?
no.
best of luck !

    You need a dual-link DVI port for the 30-inch display and a Mini DisplayPort for the 24-inch LED display. The original Mac Pro includes the dual-link DVI port; use this component with the LED display.

  • New Display For My G4?  New Card?

    I want to get a new flat panel display, but I think I read somewhere that it needs a new video card to work.
    so...
    Which video card do I need, and what else will I have to do to this monster to use a new display?
    my current video card is the ATI Radeon that came with it.

    This should do the job, if you have further questions call ATI tech support, for a true answer.

  • Are the new displays for MacBooks only - Options for a Mac Pro User?

    I am currently running 23 inch displays in our small design studio (4 workstations). I need a new or a second display for my own Mac Pro. I hate the new 24 inch display. I cannot imagine running Final Cut Studio on this glossy screen. So is anyone else out there in this situation? Looking for other choices? I want to stay in the Apple line up if possible but now I am even looking at Dells, as I feel Apple will only continue with the glossy screens.
    Are any pro-users in video or photography using the new 24 inch displays? and I mean users who do this for a living. Thanks everyone?

    Hello!
    Sorry it took a while to notice your post. There are two options for your mac pro to use the new 24 inch cinema display. The ATI Radeon 4870 HD has the mini-display port on it, and the Nvidia GT120 also is an option. Personally, I'd go with the 4870 as its a much better graphics card.
    You can find them on the Apple store's site under DISPLAYS/Graphics
    Hope this helps.
    Now, just to clear something up. If you have a 2008 mac pro, you can run the GT120 if you prefer.

  • Seeking new display for B/W Power Mac

    I have an older 20 inch Sony CRT connected to my B/W Power Mac. The CRT has finally met its day and I am seeking a replacement. I am looking at a flat panel, 19 or 20 inch where I can connect it to my existing graphics card. Any recommendations?

    I hate to rain on your parade, but that adapter is for extracting VGA from a computer that produces DVI AND uses the bar and the four pins around it at the end of the connector. It works because the bar and the four pins, if provided and connected internally, provide EXACTLY VGA when combined with one other pin used in both DVI and VGA.
    The stock card on the Blue & White G3 provides a "standard" three row 15-pin VGA, and that is what you should search for in an inexpensive display solution. If you are willing to spend an additional US$100 or more, you can get a PCI-slot display card with a DVI connector on it.
    Cards that feature an ADC port to run some of the fancy Apple displays also require a computer that provide the required 28 Volt power in the Accelerated Graphics Port AGP slot. Your Blue & White does not have such a slot and cannot provide that power.

  • Nice new display for the email!

    Thank you Verizon for providing this nice update!  It's definitely sleeker looking and very convenient , listing all 7 of  my options like email and billing and so forth in the lefthand margin while still showing my list of emails upfront.

    This "new" look may seem "nice" but the application being used in the back round has allowed the contacts list to be "hacked".
    This "new " format has caused nothing but problems ... for the sake of a new look???? What nonsense. I have been using e-mail service from GTE and then Verizon since it's inception..and NEVER had the email hacked. Had my computer compromised...but never the email at the verizon server....or frame relay service...this just means some young executive has convince marketing that the new look will sell....NEVER THINGING CAREFULLY THAT THE APPS BEING USED WERE OPEN TO SECURITY BREACH. I hope enough of the users will call and complain... so that this security isssue is resolved.

  • Can I use my tv as a display for my macbook air?

    If i I bought Apple tv and plugged it into my tv, could i then use that tv as a display for my macbook air as if my tv were a mac display?
         I have a macbook air but I dont want to buy a whole new display for it which is why i want to use my tv.
    I do however want to purchase AppleTv
    I am currently running snow leopard, but will update in a heartbeat to lion if needed.

    Connect the Macbook directly through the TV using a Mini Display Port to HDMI ('With Audio' if needed).

  • Looking for a new graphics card for new display

    I recently purchased a 24" LCD monitor to increase my screen real estate. I was anticipating using the DVI connection on the monitor, but found out that the connection I have on the PM G4 Dual 1GHz is an ADC connector instead. Presently I'm using it in analog mode which works fine, but in anticipation of Leopard, I was planning on upgrading my video card (GeForce 4 MX, 64MB VRAM) with one that will support CoreImage, as this one doesn't. In addition, this monitor can pivot to 90 degrees in a portrait orientation, and I would like a card that supports this feature as well.
    I tried my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with its ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 card, and find it supports CoreImage as well as screen rotation--just what I was hoping for. It works like a charm with the new display. I just need to find out what 4x AGP desktop cards support these features. Any suggestions? I appreciate your input.

  • New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays ???

    I seem to recall that during the WWDC New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays were made public.
    What are these new specs ?
    Or am I mistaken?<<br>
    PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks a.brody
    The Online Apple Store and the Apple dealers here in Germany either don't seem to be aware of the new specs or they have a lot of the "older" displays (Brightnes: 270 cd/m2 Contrast: 400:1) left in stock which they want or need "to get rid of".
    I'm thinking of ordering either a 23" or a 30" for my MacPro, but the new spec cinema displays are not yet available here.

  • HDMI to TV as Display for New Mac Mini DOESN'T WORK

    I bought a new Mac Mini and was told I could us HDMI to my TV as display.   I was using this TV as display for older Mac Mini (VGA) and for a Windows PC, and DVD via HDMI.     TV is one year old. 
    The Genius at the store who sold me the new mini said all I needed was an HDMI cable.   Which I purchased. 
    The screen comes up for the Setup Assistant but as soon I select continue is goes to gray, mixed color scanning garbage mode.    If I turn the TV off and back on, the screen returns (now at the next prompt in the setup assistant) but again it goes gray after hitting continue.    Unusable, CANNOT set up my new purchase.
    Unfortunately, the DVI to VGA adapter on my old mini is different and doesn't mate to the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with new MacMini, so I can't test VGA.   The old DVI to VGA has extra pins not on the new one. 
    My purchase is not usable and is extremely poor.   Buyer beware I guess.   

    I have been using MacMini's for commercial digital signage/video conferencing gateway usage for sometime now, they all have HDMI output, about one third are on Lion the others still on Snow Leopard, here's what I have found.
    Toshiba & LG tv's are generally reliable, Samsung and Philips generally are not, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp & Viewsonic all work, somtimes with a bit of work from me.
    Cables are important (always look for compatibility with HDMI  revision 1.3 or greater (1.4 preferred), don't waste your money on exotic brands, adhere to the distance limitations, I generally send the HDMI signal wirelessly (cost of labor to add wiring to an existing space can be very high) so am limited to less than 50ft, same as with a wire.
    READ THE TV MANUAL, find out what HDMI choices your tv possesses, is there a 'parallel' audio input available for the times when your signal origin is a MDP or DVI.
    Some TV's just don't work well, cut your losses and get another when faced with this issue.
