Source for VESA LCD flat panel monitor mounts for Apple 30" Cinema display

I'm looking for a source for a multi-panel (tiled-array) mounting system for 30" cinema displays.
I can get the VESA mounting plates from Apple. What's hard to find is a multiple-panel arm or post and bracket system that can handle the size and weight of 4 to 8 monitors. The 30" cinema display weighs 27.5 lbs. So in total, roughly 100 to 200 pounds for a 2X2 or 2X4 tiled array.
I know other groups have ended up making their own. I see many systems on the web for this number of displays - but none thus far that can handle both the size and weight.
Any recommendations pro or con would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry - wrong forum.

  • HP flat panel monitor - does it need a driver?

    Can I just check if it is necessary to install a different driver for a HP flat panel monitor, as I tried to connect a HP 19 inch display and the display looked a little fuzzy, certainly not as clear as when it had been displaying from the old PC. Thanks in advance

    No drivers should be necessary. Check the Display system preference and make sure the monitor is being driven at it's default (maximum) resolution. Some monitors don't auto-detect correctly, so your Mac may not have set (or even recognized) the correct resolution.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hooking up 17" LCD Flat Panel Apple Monitor to an older G4

    I have an older G4 and bought a 17" LCD Flat Panel Apple Monitor Studio Display to use with it. However, the plug from the monitor doesn't fit into any of the G4 connections. Am I crazy? I thought these monitors were created for the G4s. I tried the USB port, but nothing happened. Am I gonna have to get an adapter?
    Sorry to be so ignorant. Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

    The Apple Studio Display 17 (LCD) \[Clear lucite with white] has an ADC connector. Displays with ADC connector require a computer that supplies the required 25 Volt power through the cable, or if you use a DVI to ADC converter (with its own AC power cord) you can use a display card with DVI connector.
    Which older G4 or what speed in MHz?
    The PCI graphics and AGP Graphics cannot supply the 25 Volts to power this display. Gigabit Ethernet and later have the Power supply and the fingers in the AGP slot to pass that power to an ADC-equipped card.

  • Can Powerbook connect to Sony LCD flat panel properly for simul. display?

    I want to buy the Sony KDL-52XBR2 LCD flat panel and connect my Powerbook G4 using an HDMI or HD-15 Pin cable for simultaneous display.
    While the TV specs say it will allow a PC to connect and display, I have had trouble in the past with Mac/tv connectivity because of video driver issues in either the Powerbook or the tv. I could not get both screens to display simultaneously (without parts being cut off at the bottom or sides). Apple would not support my question as the "connected device" (the tv) was not an apple product.
    Before I spend the money on a new TV, I would like to know if anyone has had success with "plug-and-play" connectivity to a 42" or 50" plasma or LCD flat panel, in particular a Sony product.
    Thanks in advance for sharing.

    YOu should probalby post your question in the appropriate PowerBook "Displays" discussions:

  • Powermac 8500 Flat Panel Monitor Options

    I have a PowerMac 8500 and my Apple Multiple Scan 15 monitor is making noises, the green power button flashes, the image distorts bowing inward on the left side, or the screen doesn't light up at all.
    What Apple branded flat panel monitors can be driven by my computer? The Mac 8500 has a DB 15 connector, I believe.
    Would I need an adapter to connect the flat panel display, and which adapter?
    I have 2 Apple Flat panel 17"? monitors that came with my G4's I could test, if I had an adapter. Is this a good idea?
    Thanking you in advance.

    You don't need to buy an Apple display. Any brand LCD display can be used with a Mac, provided that the computer had adequate graphics support for it, with a suitable hardware interface. If you buy a used display, be sure that it can be returned if there are any problems (like dead pixels). When you consider the initial cost of shipping and possible cost to return a bad display, I'd be reluctant to buy a used one at eBay. Many sold there are high-mileage units pulled from corporate use. If there are any retailers in your area selling used computers, I'd check with them first. At least you'd get to try it out before buying and avoid shipping expenses. Otherwise, the prices of new displays have dropped so much that buying one for your 8500 isn't money wasted, since the display can be used with any newer computer that you might purchase.
    Have you ever added VRAM to your 8500? It shipped with (2) factory-installed 1 MB VRAM cards, and is maxed out at 4 MBs with an additional pair of 1 MB VRAM cards. You might want to consider installing a Mac-compatible PCI graphics card having onboard SGRAM or DDR-memory, to provide better performance for a newer display. If you go with an older graphics card, you'd be better off buying a display with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio - like your old Apple display. The optimal resolution setting for a widescreen display (16:9 aspect ratio) may not be supported by older graphics cards. Two old (but still good) graphics cards are the ATI Rage Pro (8 MBs of SGRAM) or the ATI Rage128 (16 MBs of SGRAM). Both of these cards have a VGA port, eliminating the need for an adapter. You could find these for very little at eBay - but they must be Mac-compatible versions. Cards pulled from PCs aren't compatible, unless they can be re-programmed with a Mac ROM. A newer graphics card, like the Radeon 9200, would be capable of supporting any modern display, but costs more than your 8500 is worth. That's when you should consider investing the $$ in a slightly newer, used Mac (like a G4 tower) with AGP graphics.

  • Can Powerbook connect to sony LCD flat panel fo simultaneous display?

    There is no reliable way to know if a random TV will or will not suffer from the "overscan" problem where the top, bottom and sides are cut off. Many TVs do this and there is no way to get around it.
    What I would do is take your PowerBook to the retailer where you are buying the TV and ask them if you can hook up the PB to the floor model. That is the only way to know for sure if it works to your satisfaction. Either that or, if you have a specific TV and know its model number, you might be able to ask your question again and get an answer from someone that already owns the TV. The AVSforum.com are a good place to check for various TV models.

  • Quicksilver and HP L2335 Flat panel monitor?

    I'm considering buying an HP L2335 flat panel monitor to connect up to my Quicksilver which currently has a GeForce4 MX AGP card but will shortly have an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB card.
    Does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues?
    Kerry

    Hi,
    The normal AGP slot provides 45w of power. The 9600 card is really a 9800 card that has reduced performance, half the rendering pipelines for instance. This was done to lower the AGP power demands and to remove the aux. 12v power supply (i.e. ATI 9800) because some folks are worried about the overall power consumption and fan noise.
    The 9800 can require as much as 70w at full power, so the need for the extra 12v is needed. The 9600 Mac/PC version, being reduced in ability, was made to use less than 45w, so the normal 9600 PC aux. power connector and cooling fan were removed - and fingers were crossed.
    This leaves the individual machine's AGP Slot to provide a full 45w of 12v power to the 9600, some do -some don't. Tricky isn't it, marketing is wonderful.
    Personally, I find the ATI 9800 fan not to be objectionable and the extra performance is great. Adding the 12v aux. power wire is easy as pie, so installation is easy.
    Regards,
    Dave

  • Flat panel monitor recommendations

    Hi All
    I know I can connect a flat panel monitor to my eMac using the mini VGA port via an adapter, but can anybody recommend a decent 20inch flat panel screen as the Apple ones are tad expensive for my pocket :]
    Washac

    The Apple displays are LG's. The exact same screen from LG is about 300$-350$ and has a beter contrast ratio. You should try going to a computer store (other than Apple) to find the screen that I'm talking about because I dont know the model number.

  • HELP Please . IBM L170p ThinkVision 17-inch Flat Panel Monitor

    Hello
    I was given a IBM L170p ThinkVision 17-inch Flat Panel Monitor (ibelieve that is what it is) and im having some trouble getting it to work. I think i may need the drivers for it but i can not locate them online. I did a search on the IBM site and this is where i found out the name for this monitor. I typed in the " Type# " from the side of the screen which is 6734-HBO s/n xxxxxxx .
    I have it connected to my laptop as a second monitor but i can not get a picture on it. If i hold down one of the buttons to adjust the screen left or right ect, the picture will appear for about 2 seconds and then it goes back to a black screen. I was hoping that someone here could help me out and link me to the drivers for this monitor ?  OR do you think there is another problem with why i can not get the picture to display, and if so do you know of a way to fix this ?
    Any help at all would be appreciated Thanks in advance
    -Curt
    UPDATE:
    I found this listed as a driver on here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-50550 
    I downloaded and saved all  files to a folder and then followd the direction from an online manual for installing or updating the drivers for the monitor and this didn't help at all. It just told me there were no better updates then the ones that were already installd..
    So it must be another problem. Does anyone have any guess or fixes for this ? Thanks again

    primul - welcome to the forum!
    before we assume this is a hardware problem, let's walk through some troubleshooting first.
    1: did this monitor work on the previous system before it was given to you?
    2: have you ever used an external monitor with your laptop?
    3: have you set your laptop to either mirror or extend the desktop onto the external display?
    4: have you tried uninstalling the current driver and then installing the one from IBM?
    5: what do you see on the screen during those 2 seconds when you press one of the buttons?
    1. As far as they knew, the monitor worked the last time that used it, but they couldn't remember when.
    2 & 3. I always use an external monitor on my laptop as an extended monitor so that i have one large surface for a screen when i do my work on photoshop.
    4. i havent tried this because i dont have the driver cd to reinstall the ones that are on my laptop now lol.
    5. i see my screen wallpaper when i get it to work for those seconds, or i see a window that may have opened up on that screen.
    If it's going to be a pain to get this to work i'll just chuck it out or throw it on ebay for parts. Dell is selling new 20inch flat screens for 150$ so i was thinking of snaging one of those.

  • Flat Panel Monitor Dimming

    I have an iMac G4 Flat Panel monitor that keeps dimming itself to the lowest setting. This seems to happen when it goes to sleep. When the user awakens the iMac it stays dim and we have to go into System Preferences and choose monitor and then slide the brightness bar to the right.
    Any ideas on how to stop it from getting Dim so many times during the day?

    La in SC,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try zapping the PRAM. The other option is to trash the file: Macintosh HD > Users > <your username> > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist . This will clear your preferences but often solves issues regarding preferences as the system re-generates a new plist file. The best thing to do is just move the file to the trash and not delete it. If it doesn't clear your fault you can restore all your preferences by dragging it back.

  • Connect MBA to LCD Flat Panel

    I've tried to connect my MBA to my LG 42" LCD Flat Panel by using the RGB connector. When doing this, the MBA screen changes its resolution, but i can't see nothing on the LCD. Do I need to install a driver?

    You are going to need to purchase an adapter from Apple to interface to the Mini DVI connector. Then get a cable like this from monoprice:

  • G4 Ti4200 & Samsung Flat Panel Monitor

    I cannot get my AGP based MSI G4 video card to work with my Samsung 17" TFT Flat panel monitor.  The screen remains blank during POST and Boot.  The video card works fine with my old Trinitron CRT.
    Anyone else have this issue? anyone got a solution?
    My old GF2 based AGP card works fine with this monitor, and I tried a PCI based GF2 board from a differnet maker also works fine with the Samsung, but I also tried a PNY FG4 board and it also does not work

    Did you ever sort this problem?
    I have exactly the same symptoms, and its driving me mental. (MSI G4ti4200 and syncmaster 171s)
    I can't think it's a power suppy issue, but I am under the suggested 200W combined at 185w.

  • Difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

    May i know the difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)? both products look the same to me, even the prices are the same, but the name of the product is different. Its so confusing! I want to purchase a secondary display for my 21" iMac, but idk the difference between the two.
    furthermore, another question i have is, is 27" the largest display i can get? is there larger ones (just the screen, not the computer)?
    please help, thanks!

    One has thunderbolt capabilities, the other doesn't.

    No you can get a larger one.  Maybe not an Apple one, but certainly another brand.

  • 8800 GT vs. new Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel)

    Apple LED Cinema Display 27"
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A
    Obviously the ATI 5770, once it ships, will work.
    Apple Display tech note only addresses ATI 5xxx and only 2009-2010 Mac Pro models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4279
    Cutting off anything two years old, is now 'legacy'? I don't think they hope to sell their 27" to older Macs or PCs.
    In the product Q&A:
    *This looks great! Does this work with PCs?*
    Yes, but you'll need an adapter with a mini-displayport like the top of the line Radeon 5970 (they all have one MDP), or one of the 5870s specifically designed for Eyefinity (multiple displays). Search Newegg under graphics cards (advanced) and filter only cards with mini displayport. No other PC cards on the market, including Nvidia seem to have mini-displayport. It's a good interface, but I fail to see why Apple decided to loose customers to support it exclusively.
