New LED Cinema Display calibration

Will there be any hardware or software differences necessary between the calibration of the currrent LCD models and the new LED model?

I can say that I am using the same old Eye One calibrator on a CRT, a Cinema Display (CCFL LCD), and a MacBook Pro (LED LCD), so I guess calibrating the new Cinema Display LED LCD should not be a big deal.

  • 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.

  • DVI Adapter for LED Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort?

    Is there an adapter for use with the new LED Cinema display port? I expect the new Mini's to switch to the Mini DisplayPort, if there is a new Mini, but in the meantime ...
    Now that everything is going black, glass and aluminum, when is Apple going to update:
    1) Keyboards to black keys?
    2) Mouse to black and/or aluminum?
    3) Mini, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule to black & aluminum?
    4) Power Adapters, Airport Express, cables, etc. to black and/or aluminum?
    Finally a unified product line/look!

    Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
    The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
    I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
    Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
    I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
    On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

  • MBA running windows 7 doesnt work with LED cinema display

    Hi - got a brand new 13" MBA (one week before they announced the new one ) running Windows 7 via bootcamp but can't use my new LED cinema display - am I missing some drivers?

    I have the exact same problem.
    It has been very frustrating dealing with Apple on this issue. Support seems to know nothing about Boot Camp and drivers for Windows to run their Apple Led Cinema Display. 
    They had the nerve to tell me to call Windows. Windows support spent an hour with no result except that they found on the internet that the operating system for the external display is APPLE OSX. and says nothing about using it with Windows, and offers no Windows driver.
    What peeves me most, was that I told the sales people at the store that I intended to run Windows on their Air computer with the 27" display, and they never told me that it WOULD NOT WORK!
    Apple support says that I am supposed to have either a Bootcamp driver disk or USB memory, and I can find neither in my Apple Air box.
    I frankly expect better from Apple. I hate Windows exactly because of this type of quality support, and Apple is doing no better in this instance.

  • Urgent help please. Can't get image on LED cinema display.

    My husband has a traumatic brain injury. His existing monitor went kaput yesterday, & I've been trying desperately to set up a new LED cinema display with his Mac Pro that was purchased May 2007 for the past 4.5 hrs without success. Can't get any image on it & don't know what else to try. Any suggestions please?

    Can we assume that the graphics card has been replaced with one that has a mini display port, such as the Radeon HD 5770 or the Geforce GT 120? The originally shipped graphics card options for the 2007 Mac Pro do NOT have the Mini Display Port.
    Does my computer have a Mini DisplayPort connector?
    If not, one will either need an Atlona AT-DP400 adapter to connect the LED Cinema Display to a dual link DVI port of the graphics card OR to replace the graphics card with one that is equipped with the Mini Display Port.
    Review of the Atlona AT-DP400.
    Also, does the Mac Pro have OS X 10.6.4 or later?

  • Apple  LED Cinema Display -- USB Port + iSight Camera not  working

    I see an unusual problem with my brand new LED Cinema display. When i put my Macbook pro in sleep mode it deactivate all the USB ports and isight camera in LED Cinema Display. When I turn the computer back on I cannot use USB or iSight camera. I tried below solutions -
    - Restarting the Macbook pro and LED cinema
    - Completely draining the power in both LED Cinema and Mackbook pro.
    - Resetting Macbook pro.
    - Upgrading LED Cinema to latest and greatest firmware ( firmware update 1.0)
    Did anyone encounter this problem ? If yes please post your thoughts or any solutions.

    After numerous attempts of powering down/resetting the macbook pro and led cinema i was able to make the USB ports work. However I was able to successfully reproduce the problem once again by putting the mackbook on sleep mode.
    I finally ended up shipping my led cinema back to apple for a replacement. I will try the test case with the new one when it arrives.

  • Early08 Mac Pro ATI Radeon 4870 Upgrade w/ 24" LED Cinema Display

    I have just received the ATI Radeon 4870 upgrade kit for my early 2008 Mac Pro (dual quad) which permits me to use the new LED Cinema Display (I now have a mini display port). Almost everything works well but find I am unable to manually put the display to sleep. It just seems to freeze and not go dark. Am using OS 10.5.6. I know the card is a new product. Is anyone else having the same problem?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    This information is GOLD! Solid GOLD!
    I have an early-'08 Pro also, and got the HD 4870 this afternoon via FedEx. I tried running a game, and got a "Cannot load 3D acceleration" error message. I noticed that moving windows was choppy, as was switching between Spaces pages. I called AppleCare, and after a loooooooong discussion with some very friendly folks, the tech support guy sent me to the Apple Store support to initiate an exchange.
    I then found this thread, downloaded the beta drivers, and BAM! it works like I hoped it would, blazing fast graphics.
    I called AppleCare back so they'd be aware of it, and while I was on the phone, the guy even followed that link and said, "Wow, what the heck is that site?" He was very happy to have the information.
    Spread the word!
    Of course, then, today, I noticed on MacRumors that a new nvidia card is going to be offered as an upgrade next month. Sigh. I think I'm happy enough with this one to ignore the nVidia offering. I hope 10.5.7 comes out soon.

  • How to connect old LED Cinema Display to new iMac

    How to connect old LED Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort) 
    to new iMac (thunderbolt port)?
    Ideas?

    Just plug it into the Thunderbolt port. That port directly supports mini-DisplayPort screens.

  • 24" LED Cinema Display not working on new MacPro with GT120 graphics card

    Dear All,
    I have recently purchased a new Mac Pro Quad (2.66 GHz, 6mb DDR3 1066 MHz RAM) with a 24" LED Cinema Display. When powering up the computer for the first time, the display was blank. I swapped it out with a 23" Cinema HD Display, and it worked fine, so I thought it might be the LED Cinema Display itself. However, when I tested the LED Cinema Display on my MacBook (Model 5,1; INTEL Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz), it worked like a charm.
    Has anybody seen this behaviour? I'm assuming that it's a software issue (since the GT120 DVI adaptor works with the Cinema HD Display, so the mDVI adaptor should be good). [I also rebooted and wiped the PRAM and NVRAM, to no avail.]
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Best,
    Drew

    Thanks for the reply--I've done that before, for sure.
    An odd thing did happen when I reset the PRAM & NVRAM a second time--it worked. Maybe I did it wrong the first time? Anyway, it's working perfectly now. Many thanks.

  • New Mac Pro and LED cinema display

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but none of the topics answered my question specifically enough.
    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?

    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro
    Yes. All the standard cards that come in the Mac Pro have one Mini DisplayPort. The 24"LED display will plug into that.
    and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?
    It is not used if you don't have a MacBook.

  • New MacBook Pro & 27" Apple LED Cinema Display Don't Go to Sleep

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
    Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
    PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

    Is your 2.6 the CTO upgrade from the high end 2.3 15"?
    Yes, both will work under OSX and Windows. One note, when you boot Windows, you need to unplug the USB from the LED Cinema display or Windows will not boot. Once booted, then plug the USB back in to regain brightness, etc controls.

  • MBP with New Apple LED Cinema Display

    Does anyone know whether it will be possible to use an early-2008 MacBook Pro with the new Apple LED Cinema Display? I know that the new display is made specifically for the latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air with the mini-display port, but I wondered whether there will be some type of adapter offered so that an older MacBook Pro may be used with the new display (or whether this is even possible).
    Any input is appreciated.
    Joe

  • LED Cinema Display (27-Inch) and the new iMac (late 2012)

    Does the LED Cinema Display (27-Inch) work with the new iMac (late 2012) as a second monitor, and if so, which cable do I need?

    It will work.  Plug its Mini DisplayPort plug into the computer's Thunderbolt port.  No adapters needed.

  • Image persistence on New 24" LED Cinema Display - Quick Reply needed please

    Hi
    I have a new 24" LED Cinema display - delivered 14 days ago today (hence needing a quick reply!).
    Yesterday I noticed image persistence down the entire left hand-side of the screen - should this happen on such a new display?
    Should I return it / take it back?
    Thanks for any advice.
    For what it is worth the image persistence is the left-hand column of the iTunes window - I can read the entire column from the top where it says "Music" down to the "Selected item" that appears above the album artwork window.
    I do use iTunes a lot but certainly nothing out of the ordinary and often in reduced size mode or behind other windows. (i.e it does not sit in the same place all the time).
    Since I took the screen out of the box the screen-saver has been set to turn on after 15 mins and the Energy Saver is set to turn the screen off after 20 mins (i.e I have taken screen saving measures).
    Finally, I have done the "display an all-white image on the entire display" as per here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807) and after six hours of this the problem has improved, but certainly not gone away.
    So, to return, or not to return, that is the question.
    Many thanks.
    Rob
    PS - I bought this online at Apple Store - if I do return it, could I do this in person at physical Apple Store, or do I have to do it online?

    I've had this same problem on my 24" iMac for some time (it's still under my AppleCare warranty, but it began doing this long ago). I searched these forums a year ago and never found anything about this, so I'm glad I found these posts here today.
    I guess it's time to haul mine back into the store. Also I note that my screen has developed some dark areas, as if the fluorescent backlight has become irregular.

  • Question about the new 27" LED Cinema Display and text size

    Hi, I own the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display and text on the monitor is just large enough for me. Won't text on the new 27" Display be much smaller with its higher resolution?

    MANY thanks for the tip.
    Now then - all indications are that my Mini will NOT pass audio via the MDP Cable given the age as well as the lack of an HDMI port (I know there isn't one this rig).  Unless I am missing something I don't believe there is any adapter out there that will allow the audio to now pass through the MDP Cable if the rig itself was never configured to do so.
    Following links in your posting, someone recommended this:

    However it seems to be set up to deliver A/V to an HDMI display, and unless I am mistaken, the 27" LED ACD does not have an HDMI in.  Although my MacMini does have a S/PDIF Optical Digital Audio Output I don't believe the 27" LED ACD has any kind of separate audio input (either TOS Link or even 1/8 smini stereo).
    So I reckon I am SOL with regard to getting the audio onto the new monitor from the Mini and I would need to keep my present speakers set up using the 18/" mini stereo out - but the video should still work......yes?
