Replacing dual VGA's with big shiney LCD

Here is what I have now:
MDD G4 dual 1.25Ghz.786MB ram. ATI Radeon 9000 with one DVI and one ADC port on it. Resolution of each screen is 1280x1024.
Each port has an adapter to go to VGA for my two Samsung SyncMaster 955df's.
What I want is one big LCD. One of my Samsungs are croaking to death.
The questions:
What is the image, resolution difference between the vga, dvi, adc display image(lcd display)?
My video card supports 1920x1200. I assume thats each screen?
Do any monitors come with two cables to plug into a dual head card to get a larger resolution? How big of a monitor can I get with 1920x1200?
My worry is is that my video card wont support a lcd monitor as big as I want it to be. Like a 24inch display.
And I do not intent to buy a apple or sgi display. I know they are georgeous and all that, but the price!! wow!

Your card will run two displays, of up to 1920 x 1200 each. If you need to run a display greater than 1920 x 1200 you will need a new graphics card with dual-link DVI. You cannot combine lower resolution outputs to get higher resolution.

Sorry, but replacing the LCD screen is no option for the iPhone 4s. This can only be done with the iPhone models 6 and 5.
Apple will replace the whole unit if you are paying the service fee for the other models.

Are there widespread issues with macbook pro lcds having to be replaced on computers less than a year and a half old

are there any know issues with respect to lcd displays going bad on macbook pros. my computer which sits on a desk and has never traveled outside the home needs a whole new lcd replacement. Its a year and three months old.Pretty bad for an expensive laptop

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Some MacBooks Pro with Retina display have got problems with the display, related to a display manufacturer. However, in this case, it's a common issue and Apple is replacing or repairing all of these computers for free.
In your case, probably it was bad luck. Computers fail, and maybe you have bad luck and your computer has got a defective part that has to be replaced. Fortunately, this rarely happens, and most of the users are happy with their MacBooks Pro

Replace a cracked non-retina iPad mini LCD with retina LCD & digitzer?

My iPad mini screen is cracked and I am going to have it replaced by a 3rd party repair service. I am just wondering if it may be possible for me to have the current cracked non-retina LCD with a retina LCD screen and digitizer? If any of you know that this is in fact possible, reference someone you know that can do this. Thanks guys!
***P.S. I know- this voids my warranty. I am not interested in those types of responses

Ah you're right... I have the A5 whereas the retina has the A7... Didn't think about that! That is why I asked. No need for the attitude. I was more wondering if it was POSSIBLE though. But hey, thanks for the response!

Dual Link Display Issue on 30" LCD

Can I use "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Firmware Update" to my "Mini DisplayPort to Dual-link" cable?
Or this update is only for "Mini DisplayPort to VGA" cable?
(update URL ; http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate)
Now I have flickering and swaying display issue.
(Mini DisplayPort to Dual-link cable + DELL 3007WFP 30" LCD Monitor)
So I hope this update can be solve my problem.

DD
there are several threads open on this - all stem from problems with the adapter cable (MB571Z/A)
here's one:
Topic : Mini Displayport to Dual-Link DVI not working?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9294777&#9294777
also see the product reviews:

I have the new Mac Mini and a 30" Apple Cinema Display - basically, it 'works' but there are many problems - screen blinks & resolution degrades intermittently, screen saver sometimes crashes into a scramble, and sleep sometimes becomes coma.

Lightning-VGA Adapter with IOS 6

I got an iPad for Christmas, and I ordered a VGA adapter to use with my school projecter. It worked fine the first few times, but after I upgraded to ios-6, it stopped working. It could be a coincidence, but I am wondering if there is some information out there about either problems with this combination or instructions for how to make it work. If not, could it be the adapter just suddenly failed?

It is possible that you're just having a coincidental failure of your adapter. These things do fail. I remember helping my son set up his MacBook Pro with an HDMI setup to a Hi Def TV. We were struggling for hours ready to throw each other out of his dorm room. Finally, I drove to a Big box place and bought a new HDMI cable. That fixed it.
Try to replace the VGA cable first. Then the VGA adapter. Then consider the full reset, since that requires you to restore from a backup (not horribly bad, but you will have to go through the whole process).

G4MX440 Dual VGA and TV-out Possible?

I finally got my tv-out feature working by using the unofficial bios from MSI. This resolved the "orange/brown" screen issue. :O
My new issue:
I have the g4mx440 with dual vga output. (not one vga jack and one dvi with an apadpter, just two vga connectors). I am running two analog monitors with the card and they are both working fine. But, since i have now gained the use of my Tv-out feature, i was wandering how i would set up this card to use my TV as a third monitor. When i goto my display settings it only shows two monitors that i can alter but if i disable one and reboot with only 1 analog connected and the tv-out it works. I was playing with nviews settings and somehow made my tv the primary display and lost one of my analogs (kinda like all 3 wont work at the same time). What am i doing wrong or what do i need to do.
I had accomplished this set up before with a Geforce2 Mx400, but i was using a second pci card to run my second analog monitor.
Any help would be sweet. Thanks in advance for anything.

Hi,
Here's some generic advice, but which might not apply to your specific hardware.
You can't get 3 *different* pictures from this type of card, only 2. It effectively has two independent channels, and one channel has the choice of *either* VGA out *or* TV out. It may even be possible to use both at once - but it will be the same picture. You might need a third party utility like TVtool to let you use VGA and TV out simultaneously, and your VGA monitor might not like the non-standard frequencies on the VGA that are a byproduct of generating TV out frequencies (especially in PAL). LCD monitors are generally worse than CRTs in this respect.
Cheers

Mini-DVI to VGA cable... LCD TV has female input

I recently bought a mini-DVI to VGA adapter from an Apple store, to connect my MacBook with a broken screen to a UMC LCD TV. When it came to plugging the VGA end into the TV, I realised it has exactly the same connector (female I think) as the TV. This obviously means they will not connect, and I haven't been able to find a connector that will do the job. I was surprised to find that after a fair amount of searching no one else appears to have had this problem, so maybe I'm being stupid somewhere here. Thanks for help.

You need a VGA male-to-male cable to connect the Apple mini-DVI to VGA adapter to your LCD TV:
MacBook > Mini-DVI to VGA adapter > VGA male to male cable > LCD TV

Mini Display Port to VGA adapter with Mac Pro

Just as a word of advice if you're thinking of buying a new Mac Pro and planning on hooking it up to dual VGA displays at their native resolutions - don't.
Apple claim it will support 3 VGA displays. That might be true in a very loose sense but not in the sense that you'll actually be able to work with it.
My experience (all using same adapter, cables and monitors):
*Mac Pro - Dual screen set up*
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via DVI > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1680x1050)
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - does not offer native resolution
*Mac Pro - Dual* screen set up*
1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via DVI - offers native resolution (1920x1080)
1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1920x1080) but displays it pillar boxed (i.e. squashed)
*MacBook Pro - Dual screen set up*
1 x laptop screen - fine (obviously)
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native res (1680x1050)
The conclusions being that despite having the exact same configuration in terms of adapters and monitors my £3k Mac Pro is incapable of doing what my MacBook Pro can.
I have spoken to Apple about this and they have admitted it is a limitation and suggested buying DVI monitors along with the Dual Link DVI adapter (£70).
Not ideal.

DVI-I provides the direct Analog signals needed to get VGA using a very simple adapter.
DsiplayPort (and its Mini variant) requires a converter to produce VGA or Dual-Link DVI, and the converter must be active/powered. There is a lot of logic in those converters. It may also have additional limitations.
In general, you should hook your highest resolution, most demanding display up with the DVI to VGA adapter.If running two Mini DisplayPort displays, ALL MiniDisplayPort converters must be active/powered.

Photoshop CS6 64bit crashing with big psb files right after opening

Hi everybody,
I'm having big trouble since CS6 and I couldnt find andy help anywhere, thats why i have to ask here.
Problem discription:
Opening an 7gb 8bit psb file in PS CS6 64bit: PS opens the file and crashes immediately after showing the content (layers and image). an small error message is shown (but there is no description)
Sometimes it opens the file, and i can work in it, and when i try to save it (in background AND normal), PS just disappears without error message
My work around: If i open another small jpg first (in first tab) and then open the big psb, i dont get this problem. but actually i never had it open for very long since im kinda scared to put some work into this unstable system.
When doing this in PS CS6 32bit version, its pretty stable and i have no crash.
Funny thing is also, that one time I created a big file from like 20big tiffs in 16bit and could save it. All the time PS was running while creating stuff from scratch i didnt crashed. But after I saved the file and restarted PS, then he couldnt handle the file anymore and crashed like i said before.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Stefan

I have issues with PS CS6 and much smaller program files (less than 100mbs) but your problems may have less to do with programming bugs, many though there be, in PS CS6, than basic computer/OS issues.
Your files are so large (7gbs?) that you may be incurring problems with memory handling on your system due to hardware issues, OS issues or both.
In the real world most motherboards cannot stably use more than 16gbs of memory. Try removing RAM down to 16gbs and see if that improves stability. Google that if you do not believe me. You will not lose any performance, any may actually gain stability, going to dual channel memory using two instead of three slots.
Run a memory diagnostic, a complete version that may take several hours to run, to see if any of your RAM is defective. Before doing that make sure all your RAM modules are properly seated in their slots.
Install a second hard drive, offload as many files as you can to it and defragment your main hard drive (defragment it no matter what it reports about fragmentation).
In truth in the real world neither Windows or Mac OSancient can use more than 8gbs RAM--and motherboards rarely are stable with more than 16gbs of installed RAM-- so contiguous hard drive space remains important, particularly for very large files. Also regardless of how much hardware RAM you have Windows will preferentially default to the hard drive for virtual memory for some routine processes. If all your RAM is functioning well you may want to completely turn off virtual memory in Windows but overall machine stability may be problematic. Fortunately, unlike Photoshop, Windows will run stably with virutal memory on a secondary hard drive.
You have way too much RAM. Most studies show that Photoshop performance does not change once you get past just 4gbs of RAM, regardless of whether the OS or program is 32 or 64 bits.
So many Photoshop processes are single threaded so that regardless of how much RAM you have all the image data has to pass through one of the processor cores of your CPU. If you do not believe me look up those tests of performance with varying the RAM and varying the CPU: PS is a CPU dependent program despite Adobe's laudable but unstable use of the GPU to attempt parallel processing of image data.
All versions of Windows have finite resources for handling memory which files of your size may exceed. You should turn off any and all un-needed background programs and processes, including antivirus (unplug the network cable if you are paranoid). You may have to go to System Configuration to make sure memory/resource hogging programs don't load (e.g. anything referring to Itunes, Adobe reader, Microsoft Office). Look at the processes running with Task Manager and research what you can safely shut down.
Finally consider the fundamental cause of most repeated system crashes: failing power supply or failing hard drive (if your RAM passes tests).

Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's. The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays. The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays. The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display. I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter. I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop? Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
Am I missing anything? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.
