Two 24 inch cinema displays - one has a yellow tint

I have 2 cinema displays that are less than one year old. Today, I noticed that one of them has a distinct yellow tint to the display colors compared to the other. I've never noticed this before and I am wondering if the display needs to be re-calibrated, or if there is a more insidious problem.

I would recalibrate the colour first. Go to System Preferences>Displays>Color. Click on calibrate. I would put both monitor's calibrate active so that you can compare. If the monitor still show a difference even if the software says that it's the same, then you should go get it service.

  • Cannot match profiles on two 23 inch Cinema Displays

    I have just bought a new 23 inch Cinema Display in addition to my original which is only 8 months old. Using Xrite (GretagMacbeth)Eye One profiler the screens still do not match. The new screen appears much brighter and the 'old' screen much duller. Placing a blank white box created in Photoshop CS3 over the two screens shows a marked difference. Am I to expect this with a screen only 8 months old? How can I get them to match without 'cheating' with the white point? Serious help needed. many thanks.

    I don't think that there are any PCI-X graphics cards, and if there were, drivers would be another issue. PCI cards would work in a PCI-X slot, but unfortunately, none of those cards are capable of displaying dual link DVI. The best graphics core you can hope to get via PCI is an NV 6200 or ATI 9250
    Also, there aren't any Mac supported AGP cards that have 2 dual-link DVI ports, only 1.
    The only way you could do this is to upgrade to a PCI-express based machine and use the Nvidia Quadro FX4500, which is a $1600+ card + the cost of the new G5...
    A new G5 MIGHT not be so expensive, as there is or about to be a mass exodus of pro shops that will be getting out of the G5 to move to the Intel Mac Pro soon.
    If you had another dual-link capable machine, you could remote desktop in and use a KVM to switch between machines / monitors, but this is sort of a silly complex way of doing something that should be simple through hardware upgrades.

  • Best performance dual 30 inch cinema displays   dual x1900 card(s) ?

    I am trying to get the maximum performance out of my system. I have a Mac Pro with two 30 inch cinema displays. I have them both connected to one X1900 card.
    I use LightRoom as my photo work flow manager. I spread the library across both monitors as I sort thru photos.
    Performance is good but sorting thru several thousand RAW files I need every bit of speed I can get.
    Would I get better performance if I used two x1900 cards, one for each monitor? how about the 7300 or the FX4500? would those improve speed or better just for gaming?
    thanks in advance for any help.

    Two Quad-core with 8-16GB RAM, and your media fles on RAID.
    I'd configure with 4 x 750GB WD RE2s. Can't easily swap or upgrade cpu so that is a given until you know and Apple has something that would make sense to buy/swap to newer faster systems (maybe in a year or next summer).
    There is no support for two 16x lane slots. Maybe in the future but not now.
    I doubt your performance is limited or factor of the twin 30s on the Radeon. It might. Try running with just one monitor for a few hours.

  • Can my G5 support upgrade to the 30-inch Cinema Display?

    I'm a book designer working in Adobe's Creative Suite and would LOVE to purchase a 30-inch Cinema Display, especially now that Apple has dropped the price. My G5 is 3 years old and currently connected to a 5-year-old 22-inch Apple cinema display. If I were able to upgrade to the 30-inch display what would I need in addition, other than the NVIDIA GForce 6800 Ultra Graphics Card (which I'm having difficulty finding online)?

    I recently went through this, and ended up having to return the 30" for 2 23".
    You have to determine whether you have a PCI bay for graphics and other cards( there are many PCI graphics cards that will run the 30") or the older ADP configuration (for which there is one Radeon card, which is currently unavailable, and according to ATI's own customer service, not certain if they are actually in production!).
    If you've got PCI bays, you're in business. But I have ADP and my 30 inch was running at 1024x768 resolution and it was a nightmare. Fortunately, the store swapped out for two smaller ones, which run fine with my current card.
    It took me over a month to find this out, so I hope you can save some aggravation! Bob Krist

  • Is it possible to attach Samsung Monitor to the 27 inch Cinema Display?

    Hello,
    I have an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display and I also have a Samsung 27 inch monitor.
    I would like to know if it's possible to create a dual monitor setup by connecting the Samsung monitor (dvi or hdmi) with an adapter to the Cinema Display's mini display port on the back?
    Does anyone know if this is possible? Or does it only work with another Cinema Display?
    I'd appreciate any help received.
    Thanks,

    Is it possible to connect the PC to the Samsung monitor via Dual link DVI and to the Apple Cinema Display via mini display port and work as a dual monitor setup?
    That should work if the PC has both DisplayPort and dual-link DVI (or two DisplayPorts).
    I'm thinking the best solution for MacBook Air is to purchase a Thundebolt display and hook that up to the Cinema Display and I think then I would have a dual screen setup at full resolution.
    That will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort display.
    But currently I don't think there is a way to connect a PC to a Thunderbolt Display.
    Not unless the PC has Thunderbolt.

  • Older 20-inch Cinema Display powering on and off repeatedly

    I recently inherited an older (clear) 20-inch Cinema Display that I'm trying to use with my G5 dual 2.3 running 10.4.8. After purchasing the expensive DVI to ADC adapter and hooking it up, everything worked fine for about maybe 20 minutes or so until the display started to cycle on and off every two or three seconds (off for a couple seconds, then on for a couple seconds, repeat endlessly). This is accompanied by the power button glowing on and then off so it seems as if the power is cycling on and off by itself.
    Any ideas? At first I suspected the ADC/DVI adapter which got really hot when in use, but letting it cool down had no effect on the monitor's behavior. My clunky old 19" CRT display works with no problems, so it's not the video card. The Cinema Display is my old monitor from work, and never had any performance issues, although it's been in storage for almost a year.
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Same thing is happening to me. I have the 20" Cinema Display (clear with ADC).
    Last night I was in another room and all of a sudden I heard my G4 (Digital Audio) restart. I thought I was hearing things. Then about 3 minutes later I heard it again. I thought my daughter was up working on the computer or something. So I went up and there was no one around, but the computer kept restarting every 1 or two minutes. It was very strange – sometimes it it would go to sleep in the middle of the boot process.
    I was able to stop this process eventually by disabling the display power button in the Energy Saver and Displays prefs panels. But I would like this feature to be functional since it makes my setup easier to use for my kids.

  • Black band on my 30 inch cinema display. Any known causes?

    Hey everyone,
    My 30 inch cinema display is doing some wierd things which I havent encountered before.
    If you can see the image, towards the LEFT SIDE CENTRE, there are these BLACK BANDS.
    these start to appear after about 5-15 mins after the display is turned on. although they dont show up on bright backgrounds.
    If I let to monitor cool down for 10 mins and start it up again they are gone and they start appearing again in about a min or two,
    Has anyone seen any such issues before or is this a known issue with the 30 inch.
    Any ideas on what I should do about this.
    I will be taking it to Apple for sure as its still under warranty but would like to know
    what is causing this and whats apples take on it.
    Cheers,
    Ani

    I bought a 30inch as well a couple of months ago but have very little use except for watching movies. But when I use grey colour as the background the banding mark became very noticeable. It seems to be some kind of design issue i suppose and I dont know how Apple is going to address this. It's not a cheap monitor after all and i am very disappointed with this.

  • 2011 MBP 17" with two 27" Cinema Displays

    I know this question has been asked several times, but I have not found a satisfactory answer to the question whether with the new 2011 17" MacBook Pro, one can use two 27" Cinema displays *at full 2560 x 1440* resolution each? I do not care about the LCD panel, I only want to power the two external 27" cinema's at full resolution.
    The Matrox DualHead2go adapter seems to be limited at 1920 x 1200, and that is not good enough for what I want to accomplish. The USB adapters seem to be too slow for video playback as well and they seem buggy.
    Any ideas?

    I'm looking for the same solution.
    I have found this external pci solution but not 100% it will work. I was just gonna buy the raedon card with dual minidp output and run it externally. It says it's Mac compatible I'm just not sure if the video card will fit the enclosure. Heres the link. http://www.magma.com/2slot.asp

  • Random screen blackout 2009 24 inch Cinema Display... HELP.

    Random screen blackouts with 24 inch Cinema Display (purchased 2009). Never used with anything but same Macbook Pro (2009). No hardware changes on MBP. Just started June 6, 2012. Super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Recommendations?

    Hello, Ertjie.
    The link titled Download the 24-inch LED Cinema Display Update from the kb/TS4045 article worked for me when I tried it today.  Click the "Download" link I post here or try the one in the kb article again.  Perhaps it will work for you now?
    However, I note that the kb article expressly states that this firmware update: 
    ...is only intended for use with and will only install on the Apple 24-inch LED Cinema Display while the display is connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac. (EZ Jim emphasis added)
    If your Mac is really using Mac OS X (10.6.8)  as shown in your initial topic posting, your Mac may not be Thunderbolt-enabled.   If so, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • Can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly.  If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • 32 inch Cinema Display turns off repeatedly?

    32 inch Cinema Display has taken to turning itself off afer 30 minutes operation.
    Can this fault be repaired or should I be looking at buying a new display?

    I have a 20" Cinema Display connected to an early 2008 MacPro. After years of service the monitor suddenly started going black, quite randomly. It would even happen part way through playing an edit from FCP. Strangely audio would be maintained though picture was lost. If I switched monitor power off and on again I would usually restore video image. Sometimes I had to do this power cycling repeatedly.
    Looking through other posts it seemed a failure of the internal power unit was the most likely cause of the problem. But replacement seemed risky and not guaranteed. I considered buying a new monitor (probably a Dell UltraSharp since the Apple monitors are now so expensive).
    Then I tried something else. In System Preferences and then Energy Saver I set the Computer Sleep slider to 25 minutes (I had always previously kept it on 15 minutes). Bingo! Problem solved.
    Maybe this won't work for everyone but it certainly saved me some cash outlay. For now.

  • What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?

    What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?
    I went into the Apple store to purchase one, all they had was the (too small) 27 inch with the ugly black border.
    I did find a few used 30 inch Cinema displays on ebay, they are over $1100 USED.
    Any suggestions, for a 30 inch display?

    No suggestions, apart from changing to a non-Apple display such as a LaCie one.
    I think Apple really makes a mistake with the new displays - they are nifty, granted, if you want to watch TV or the like, but they'll loose the professionals, working all day long with their displays.
    1. the new displays have an excellent resolution, no trouble there, but they are like mirrors, reflecting lamps, etc. and very tiring for the eyes. That's already a problem with my MacBook Pro but I've got to accept it - what else is there to do - and fortunately it's only my secondary system.
    2. we have gotten used to 30" and do not want to downgrade.
    I am a translator and need to work with technical plants and several open files, so 30" really helped facilitate work. And now that's all gone as the 27" display definitely is not up to scratch for day-long work...
    I ordered a 30" display right when it became available, so it's quite old now. I worry what I'll do when it breaks down ...

  • MBP3.1 can't run 30-inch cinema display

    I used my 30-inch Cinema Display on a G5 for quite awhile, but had to switch to my MacBook Pro when key apps like FC Pro required an Intel Mac. Since running it on my MBP 2.2 (Model A1226, introduced in 2007)/4 GB Ram/upgraded to 500GB drive I've had on-going problems with screen flickering, freezes and automatic rebooting.
    I've had  Apple replace the graphic display and the mother board twice, and the problem continues. Apple claims that the MBP can drive the display, but it doesn't look as if they're right. My laptop has none of the problems when disconnected from the display.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    You don't say what connection adaptor you are using. See this Apple support post to see if it applies to you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3571

  • 20 Inch Cinema Display Went Black

    i just rebooted my mac mini that is connected to a 20 inch Cinema Display and the monitor never came back to life. The screen is totally black and the firewire, USB and video cables are plugged into the computer fine. When I look at the computer on Remote Desktop from my laptop i can see that the mac mini is fine. i can also see that when i hit the on/off button on the display that it prompts the shutdown/restart popup on the mac mini so it is communicating with the mac mini. i have also plugged the display into my PB and again I get the shutdown popup when i hit the display's on/off button. is there anything to do to bring it back to life or is it dead? its not even a year old.

    Hey,
    Same problem happening here, You described it exactly. Even the magenta box. Mine also happens most in the open windows, not when the desktop. I am trying to figure out when exactly it is happening. The third item I have issues with is that blocks of data are 'stuck' in a genie expansion like motion so it is blurred and dot displaying in that 3x3 inch square section. Could have something to do with refreshing? Sometimes I notice the window will fix if I manually resize the window.
    Hope this helps any one who is trying to help us out.
