PB G4 with Dell 2407WFP monitor?

I am looking into buying the 24" Dell 2407WFP monitor. I need to know if my Powerbook will work with it. It has DVI and VGA inputs but I need to know if my 15 Inch Powerbook will work with 1920x1200 Pixels @ 60 Hz.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, J. The reply I posted earlier today to a similar question about a Sony monitor is also largely applicable to your inquiry.

  • 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.

  • Mac Mini I-7 2.0 (server edition) won't work with Dell 2709W monitor via HDMI

    I just got a Mac Mini I7 quad 2.0.  It's the server edition with an HDMI port.  I plug my Dell 2709W monitor in and it continously flickers on and off and shows a green screen and the desktop for short intervals.  Can anyone help with this issue.

    Does the monitor work OK when connected to another HDMI output device?
    Does the Mini HDMI output work OK when connected to another HDMI device?
    You have selected the HDMI input on the monitor, right?

  • 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.

  • Weirdness with Dell S2009W monitor

    I just bought a new (refurbished) Mac Mini (2GHz, 1GB RAM). It's the new model with mini-display port and mini-DVI video outputs. I bought a Dell S2009W and tried to connect it via DVI and it just tells me that the monitor is going to sleep mode and it never displays the mac desktop (and I can connect via screen sharing, so I know the mini is working properly).
    To see if it was the DVI cable or connector on the monitor, I plugged it into my MacBook Pro and it works fine as a second monitor (no mini-DVI to DVI adapter needed) at the monitor's native 1600 x 900 resolution.
    I had a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, so I tried it with that and it displays the mac desktop just fine 1600 x 900, but it won't go into sleep mode when the mini goes to sleep. I'm left with a message that says "No VGA signal" or something like that. Fortunately, it moves around the screen, so I don't have to worry about burn-in, but I'd like the display to go into sleep mode.
    One more thing... when I connect to the mini via screen sharing, and the monitor is plugged in via DVI, I can see only 4 resolutions: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1680x1050, but no 1600x900.
    What gives? Is something wrong with my mini-DVI to DVI adapter that came with my mini? (It was a refurb, after all.) Or does the mini not have enough memory to drive the 1600 x 900 resolution display with a DVI signal???

    Thanks for the response.
    I saw nothing on the Dell when I swapped screen resolutions on the mini via screen sharing. I know it had some effect because the size of the desktop I saw in screen sharing changed accordingly.
    The Dell claims to support HDCP and both MBP and mini are running 10.5.7.
    The sleep mode on the monitor engages when I connect it to the mini via DVI. In fact, it engages instantly and won't display anything at all. I can't get it out of sleep mode. I tested sleep mode when the dell as connected to my MBP and it worked.
    What I see when the monitor is connected to my mini via VGA is what you suspected: just a blank screen with the message "No VGA cable connected" and the power button glows white. When it goes into sleep mode, it has a different message (something that tells you it's going to sleep), then the screen goes dark and the power button glows amber.
    The DVI cable adapter is my first suspect too, but the fact that neither connection works flawlessly, and the fact that my mini was a refurb, makes me wonder if the video circuitry on the mini is the problem. I have the cable adapter with me, so will try to get some time at the nearby Apple Store Genius Bar to figure this out.
    Thanks again for responding. This is really confusing and frustrating.

  • I have a problem with Dell 2407WFP

    i just bought dell 24" lcd conecting with my macpro now with 7300GT.
    the problem is... display doesnt match with sound.
    the lcd is late about 1 frame
    when i watch DVD,,,i edit movie stuff...i just play quicktime movie...whenever..
    i can feel it.
    so i edit sound track from quicktime movie 1 frame late in the final cut pro... it Does MATCH!
    is it normal?
    please help me!
    oh! i called Dell korea, and asked about it...
    but they just said that their product doesnt support Mac officially..-_-;;;;

    I have the 2407 and the 2405 on the ATI card on the Mac Pro, and there is no delay. Maybe it's the graphics card? I also edit and game, and the monitors work great. Both 24" monitors and it's a dual monitor setup, so I don't know what your issue may be.
    If you think it's the monitor, you should tell Dell and exchange it for a new one. Otherwise, it's the graphics card or something since my monitor works flawlessyly.

  • Dell 2407WFP MacBook Pro Power-Save

    I've just picked up a Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and attempted to connect it to my Dell 2407WFP monitor, via DVI with a genuine Mini DisplayPort to DVI connector.
    The monitor is working well as an extended desktop, however, when the system attempts to put the monitor(s) to sleep, the Dell gets stuck in a loop. It shows the "going into power-save mode" repeatedly, but never gets there.
    The monitor does seem to correctly go into power-save when the system is shut-down.
    I've read some similar threads, but none referring to this model.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    My Dell 2407wfp works fine with VGA, but I couldn't get it to work with DVI.  I narrowed the problem down to a faulty MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.  The Dynex brand one was not working properly and kept causing the monitor to attempt to enter power save mode.  (The Dynex adapter would get warm even when no cable was plugged into it!) I bought a genuine Apple adapter at Best Buy and now it works fine.  If that doesn't help try resetting PRAM (command-option-P-R  on start up).

  • DELL 2407WFP 24" with Macbook Pro - Need Help!

    I just bought a new 2407WFP and am planning on using it with my Macbook Pro. When I connect it (using VGA to DVI conversion into the Macbook Pro), I select the maximum resolution setting for the Dell monitor, however, it just mirrors with resolution of my Macbook Pros's screen. The Dell 2407WFP's screen resolution comes out having the exact same workspace as my Macbook Pro, just bigger. This is not what I want at all. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The original reply is correct. I do this with my MBP and the 23" Cinema Display all the time. Put your computer to sleep/ close the lid. Make sure the power cable is plugged in, as well as your keyboard and mouse, and the display you want to use. If you have Bluetooth devices it will still work. Simply tap a key on the keyboard and the computer will wake up, sense that the lid is closed, and make the external display your sole & primary display. I use bluetooth devices myself and they work fine. I've even formatted my computer before while attached to the external display and it will sense the display/keyboard/mouse on first startup and work with them. It's wonderfully simple.
    If there are USB ports on your Dell monitor then there should also be a USB connector for your computer on the cable. Essentially it's a USB hub, and should work fine provided the USB cable from the screen is attached to your computer. VGA & DVI do not provide USB signals.

  • 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

  • Yoga 2 Pro with external Dell P2414H monitor - Win 8.1 issues

    I have a UK model Yoga 2 Pro (Core i7/256GB/8GB). Generally happy with it but I have one weird issue that is annoying me.
    The system is fully patched including all Windows updates and latest Lenovo BIOS and drivers.
    At work I have a Dell P2414H monitor connected to my Yoga 2 Pro (micro HDMI to HDMI cable into an HDMI to DVI adapter plugged into the monitor's DVI port).
    Windows recognises the Dell monitor in display settings. I can extend my desktop onto it. I can run the Cleartype Tuner and tune the laptop screen and Dell cleartype settings independently. All good so far...
    In Taskbar and Navigation Properties (right click on the taskbar and select Properties) I expect to see a "Multiple Displays" section on the Taskbar tab with a setting that allows me to extend the taskbar across both screens, as per this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors.
    However, whatever I try I never see the "Multiple Displays" settings in Taskbar Properties. I have rebooted with the external screen connected and not connected and tried everything else I can think of but all to no avail.
    Is anyone else seeing a similar issue with an external monitor connected to their Yoga 2 Pro?

    Discovered that if If I make the external monitor my primary screen, not the laptop, then Windows gives me the Multiple Monitor Taskbar settings back. However, I then have screen scaling issues so dialogues and the task bar etc. on the Yoga screen are tiny. Not ideal...

  • IBook with Dell Monitor

    I'm thinking of getting a Dell 2005FPW monitor. According to Dell, it a system needs to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050)to maximize performance out of the monitor. Can an iBook do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi DMC51269 & welcome to the forums! I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles
    Is the picture on the monitor centered with black bars on either side?
    Do you have another computer you could try the monitor with?

  • Macbook Pro with Retina Display with Dell U2412m external monitor

    I recently purchased the Dell U2412m monitor on Amazon hoping to use it as my external monitor to my Macbook pro 15" with retina display, however, when I finish setting it up, there's a red/pink vertical line showing on my screen. Does anyone know what seems to be the problem and how do I get rid of the line. Is there anything I need to set up on the monitor to make it compatible with MBP with retina?? Thanks in advance.

    I used a mini display port to display port cable and my screen looked fine. My problem was that the USB ports did not work and dealing with Dell customer service was a nightmare.

  • 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 Early 2015 with Dell DisplayPort 1.2 / MST monitor.

    I am trying to use a Early 2015 MacBook Pro with a Dell U2715H monitor in DP1.2 mode so I can use the MST support in my new MacBook to daisy chain 2 of these screens together. However it doesn't work. Daisy chaining without DP1.2 enabled results in the displays being mirrored and only 1 display being detected by the laptop. Enabling DP1.2 on the screen connected to the laptop causes the screen to go blank and it for it to detect no signal. Even without they daisy chained. The first monitor is always detected by the laptop but in no configuration does the 2nd one ever show up.
    This feature seems to be advertised as working both on the monitor and on the laptop but I am not having much luck with it Is the laptop buggy? Is the monitor? Is it both of them?

    I have the same setup as you, only with a late 2013 MBP.  I experience the same problem as you.  From what I've been able to gather, OS X does not support Display Port 1.2 MST.  Even though this works with Apple's own displays, and now that it works with the new Dell 5K displays in 10.10.3, Apple has not enabled this functionality for daisy chaining two displays together.
    It is a little angering, as Apple's devices are DP 1.2 compatible, but they purposely disable this feature.  I am not sure what their reasoning is for this.
    All we can do is hope they enable this in a future update, as I think it is a software limitation.
    In the mean time, I have been running one U2715H on DisplayPort, and another on HDMI, as this leaves and additional thunderbolt port available for the ethernet adapter.
