Viewsonic pjd5134

I just bought a ViewSonic PJD5134 projector and can't get the unit to get signal from MacBook Air thru a HDMI adaptor and HCMI cable.  Works fine on 65 inch Vizo TV as external display but nothing on PJD5134.  ViewSonic says no driver for Mac.  Frustrating  Any ideas

Have you tried to set calibration? I noticed that colors weren't correct with Mini and an old Apple 20" Colorsync monitor but once I went throught the calibration it was much better.

  • Can't get audio HDMI output to work on ViewSonic VX2453 monitor

    I have a 13" mid 2011 MacBook Air and a new ViewSonic VX2453 monitor. I used the Monoprice mini display port to HDMI converter with audio and connected the monitor to my computer's thunderbolt port. The video works perfectly, but the sound isn't working at all. I set my computer's sound output in settings to VX2453 series (type: HDMI), and I set my monitor's audio input to HDMI. Nothing. I also tried changing the frequency in Audio MIDI Setup, which someone recommended on amazon  for the monoprice adapter, but that didn't work either.
    I tested the monitor's sound by switching audio input instead to "audio in" and connected to my headphone jack, and that worked so the monitor's sound is fine.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi - I'm just setting up my VX2453, as well.  I got sound to come out of it via the same HDMI output setting on the Mac as you describe, so I think you're doing the right thing.
    Be sure you've selected the correct HDMI input (?).
    Related, on my monitor, the audio can't be adjusted anywhere other than through the cumbersome volume control on the monitor. That is, when playing over the HDMI on the monitor's speakers, the volume controls on the MacBook Pro no longer respond (grayed out).
    Anyone know how to make the volume controls on the MBPro respond under that setup?
    Thanks.

  • Viewsonic Opiquest Q191wb

    Hello everyone, I bought this Viewsonic Q191wb 19" widescreen. It runs at 1440 * 900, with VGA video input.
    I also bought the Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
    I connected it and the macbook shows a lot of resolutions options but it does not show the 1440 * 900 option I need (yes, I have the software up to date).
    No drivers from Viewsonic... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Actually not, here's a capture from the Display settings window: http://grapefruit.quickshareit.com/share/picture1baa4b.png
    And anyway.. 1152 * 870 is not 16:10 so it would by out of relation with the screen... where did you see that?

  • Mac Mini Newbie + Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor.  Need HDMI to DVI adapter?  What cords needed?

    Mac Mini Newbie here.
    Getting the Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor for it. There is no HDMI on this monitor, but reviews said it's Mac mini compatible. 
    Do I need to get an additional cord?  HDMI to DVI adapter cable? Does the supplied short white cord inside Mac Mini packaging suffice?
    Thank you!

    No, the HDMI on Mini only support digital VGA is analogue
    Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
    No.  The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.

  • My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

    My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

    Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

  • "No Signal" from DVI on Viewsonic VA912b display

    I'm trying to usu the DVI port on my Dual 1.8 G5 (10.3.9), but all I get is a few seconds of the Apple boot screen and then I lose the signal. My display works fine with the VGA adapter, but I'd prefer to use the DVI if possible.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Namaste.
    Dual G5 1.8   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   ViewSonic VA912b display

    VGA and DVI are managed by the OS as two completely different interfaces. When you switched the VGA setting to 1024 x 768, that has no bearing on what the DVI port outputs. So when you swapped the interface from VGA to DVI to the monitor, the Mac was outputting the same (invalid) resolution as before and not 1024 x 768.
    Are you really running 10.3.9 as in your sig, or are you running Tiger? There is a way to switch resolutions using the keyboard without benefit of a useable screen under Tiger. Or you could also establish a VNC connection to a second computer on your network and change the resolution on your G5 using the VNC client.

  • Processing time has slowed to a crawl since install of ViewSonic monitor.

    All processing functions have slowed to a crawl since I installed a ViewSonic monitor VX2270Smh-LED.  The system recognized the monitor immediately.  It is connected through the Mini-DVI port on the MacBook Pro and through an adapter to the DVI port on the monitor.  I have the displays configured as one very wide monitor so I can move windows back and forth.  It doesn't seem to matter what I am working on, browser, spreadsheet, email, every command results in the spinning wheel.
    Have looked for a driver for the ViewSonic but they don't make them.  Is there something available with Apple that will help this?

    To isolate whether the monitor is really the culprit I would run a benchmark without the monitor connected and with.
    You should rely on the numbers from the benchmark to tell whether there is a difference.  Perception can be a very dicey thing.
    I have used xbench:

  • Help!  My ViewSonic monitor doesn't want to work w/ my Early 2009 Mini!

    Have an 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4gb RAM, Early 2009 Mini (macmini3,1), 10.6.8 Snow Leapord with a ViewSonic VA1703wb monitor. 
    My problem started a few weeks ago.  All of a sudden I discovered that if I turned my ViewSonic VA1703wb monitor on before the Mini, the power button was green, but the screen was black.    Turning the Mini on then the monitor seemed to get it to work.  Now for the last few days, the monitor either would show the Apple logo and then go black or just have the power light blink green and sometimes yellow with the screen slightly flashing, but was black (with the Apple logo screen not even coming up).  I have the two different adapters to use to plug in  VGA.   I've been using the Mini-DVI port adapter since I got the Mini a few years ago (on eBay which came w/ the orignial box, discs, manuals etc.) w/ no problems.
    Tried the Mini Display port adapter that I had in storage and it did the same thing! Then I remembered that there was another adapter in the Mini's box.  Happen to have a Apple Studio Diplay and would you believe the adapter (Mini-DVI to DVI)  in the box fit on the end of the Display's cable!!  I couldn't believe my luck!  And, the Mini works with it!  At least I got it to work!   The "About This Mac" says the following for the display:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400, 256MB RAM, Display Connector Status: No display connected.  (How can it say that "no display is connected, when the Studio Display is???  I'm typing this using the Studio Display!)    I also have an MDD and hooked the ViewSonic up to it and it works!
    When I did get the ViewSonic to work with the Mini, I noticed that my desktop photo wasn't showing, just the Snow Leopard purple space one.  I put my photo back on the ViewSonic.  When I got the Apple Studio Display working, it at first didn't have my photo showing, just the purple one.  And it didn't have any icons etc.  Had to power shut off the Mini and then start it up again and then everything was showing up fine.
    The other day I read that the adapter has a firmware update from Apple and that maybe the problem.  Can't understand why an adapter has firmware.  Also I've read that the PRAM (called something else w/ Intel) may need reseting or that the HD could be going downhill!  I was also wondering if the video card was messing up.  I hope and pray the problem is only software, as I'm not going to take the case apart and have something break in the process.  I've replaced hard drives, RAM, PRAM batteries and a card in PowerMacs with not much difficulty.  If my Mini was the newer design where you can take the bottom off, then that would be fine...  Since the Mini works with the Studio Display, I wouldn't think it was the video card, but with computers anything is possible.  I will be sick if it's the hard drive!    99% of my documents and photos are stored on a USB drive (as to not fill up the 120GB HD).
    Sure hope someone can assist me with this nerve-wracking problem.  Thank goodness I have the MDD as a back-up, but its RAM is maxed out to 2GB and it seems slow on the Internet and when I edit photos.
    Thanks very much.

    Well, VGA & DVI use different ins on the adapter, so it is likely some HW issue.
    The purple space issue sounds like the Mini thought it was a second extended display.

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • I have a 27" Viewsonic 1080p monitor connected to an oldish Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics card.  The problem is that the image does not fill the screen?!?!?

    I know the image can fill the monitor, because at start up, the white Apple logo screen fills it up.  But once the system starts up, there are bands of black framing the image.  I have searched extensively on the internet and found the following clues, none of which solved the problem:
    1) In the Windows world you can get software from ATI called Catalyst Converter that gives you the cpaobility to scale the image.  This software/feature is not available for Mac users.
    2)  Viewsonic's web site has a trouble shooting tool.  This came up in response to the topic "you have recently upgraded to a larger monitor"
         "This could be an issue if you have an older Apple using the system's onboard memory to support both the system and video display. Even if you have enough onboard RAM to support a higher resolution, it will not since the system will use some of the memory. Because the true video RAM available is much smaller than the total onboard amount, the system limits the size of the image. You will need to contact Apple to get an upgrade in onboard RAM or update the complete system."
    I have 2GB of RAM, so lack of RAM memory does not seem to be an issue. I am running OS 10.6.8
    Does anyone have any clue how to solve this problem.  It is frustrating to have a 27" monitor behaving like a 25" monitor. 
    Thanks in advance for sharing any experience on this.

  • I have a 2009 17" macbook pro .... how do I connect two 24" Viewsonic VX2450wm-LED monitors.

    I purchased two 24" Viewsonic VX2450wm-LED monitors to connect to my 2009 17" macbook pro.
    The monitor inputs is DVI.  Since the plugs do not match up...an oversite on my part when buying the monitors online, I am hoping to run these 2 monitors from mini displayport to DVI.  However, 2 external monitors requires a hub like the DualHead2Go DP Edition
    However!  This device has many poor reviews on Amazon and I am concerned about spending the money and wasting the time on a device when there may be a better option.
    At this point I dont plan on using the macbook screen while using the twin 24" screens.
    The answer to this problem is not an easy one to solve and the answeres to my questions I am finding are bringing up new concerns...for example, learning that the Matrox above mentions that Hz compatability which i had never previously though of, may have been a problem to consider...depending on the monitor...however, i think im good here.
    Can someone baby step me through the process and exactly what components I need to get these 2 External monitors working properly via my macbook pro?
    Note: Please do not be an arrogant computer d!k.  I have already had 1 person act like a smart @ss when all I need is a real answer...not someone else Googling a 10 second easy answer and responding with sarcasm...I am quite familiar with a Boolean search...thanks but I am looking for someone with EXPERIENCE...not a search engine
    *Would it be easier or cheaper for me to return these moitors and get different monitors with different plugs?
    I appreciation all the input and assistance anyone can provide...I'm pretty new to the mac world.
    BTW.
    The system will be used for the Adobe CS5 Suite (mostly Illustrator and Photoshop), Pro Tools 10, Serato SL3, Video Editing (mostly iMovie) and browsing.

    Hey drexfarrakhan,
    Thanks for the question. For video, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter. Our online store has a few offerings:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/search/Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI#!
    However, your MacBook only supports video out via this connection:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    So you’ll need an external stereo or speakers to output the sound to, using the headphone out port and a 3.5mm cable (or adapter, if needed):

  • Viewsonic VG2030wm not detected on DVI

    Hello,
    I got a MacBook Pro 13' and purchased at the same time a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to use with my ViewSonic VG2030wm. To my surprise, when I connected the monitor absolutely nothing happened, it goes completely undetected. The monitor works perfectly fine with a PC using an Nvidia 8600 through the DVI connector. I tried with both a single and dual link cable. I seem to be not the only one with this problem since I've found a few posts around but with no answers.
    Later I exchanged the DVI adapter for a VGA one and the monitor worked fine but I would like to be able to use the DVI quality. I've asked twice at the Apple store and nobody has heard of such a problem. The monitor specs say it has a DVI-D (with HDCP) port.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Hector

    I had/have the same problem with a MacMini (with an Intel GMA 950), VG2030wm monitor and DVI cable. It worked fine with a VGA cable (but I had to use SwitchResX to pick the native 1680x1050 resolution).
    I partially solved the problem (in Mac OS X 10.6) by unplugging both the MacMini and VG2030wm from the wall for 1-2 minutes (to reset the VG2030wm's settings?), and then resetting the MacMini's PRAM (by pressing and holding Command + Option + P + R while booting).
    Unfortunately, I still have problems (black screen or native resolution not detected) when I restart o wake up the MacMini. The workaround I have found is to turn off the monitor (with the button on the front panel), wait a few seconds, and then turn it on again (and repeat) until the Mac Mini's picks up the monitor at 1680x1050 resolution.
    I think there should be a way to force (instead of detecting) the EDID display information of the VG2030wm in Mac OS X by editing the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist, but I don't know how to do it (or if it's possible at all).
    Hope it helps a little.
    Regards,

  • Macbook pro desktop won't display via my viewsonic dlp projector

    When I connect my macbook pro to my viewsonic projector, the projection image isn't my screen displayed.  If I take my web browser and move it to the left off the view of the desktop, it then becomes visible via the projection.  adjustments on the projector or the notebook display don't remedy the issue. Please help

    if you want it to show the same thing on both screens go to system prefs>displays>arrangement(tab)>mirror displays (at the bottom left of this screen).
    now you'll be able to mirror the displays and see what your laptop is showing and also the other way around.

  • ViewSonic VA912b not working with new MacBook Pro i7

    Hi --
    I just received my new MBP on Wednesday, along with it I purchased the Griffin Video Display Converter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TY600VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTY4NzA5MDY) so I can use the computer with my ViewSonic VA912b 19" monitor w/ DVI at my desk, and my television w/ HDMI in the living room. I've plugged the monitor into the adapter and nothing is happening after hitting 'Detect Displays' in the Display menu. For the computer I had prior to this (2007 MBP), I had no problems hooking up this monitor and it would automatically find it. I looked through the user's guide and did some searching on the web and I'm finding nothing about this topic...does anyone have any insight into this?
    Thanks in advance!

  • No Signal on Mac Pro with Radeon X1900 and ViewSonic VA1912wb monitor

    I have a Mac Pro (purchased in Summer 2007) with an ATI Radeon X1900 (512mb) graphics card. I am connecting the card to a ViewSonic VA1912wb (LCD) monitor.
    When I first bought the system, it worked perfectly fine with the monitor. While it did not detect any display at certain times (when trying to install Windows XP for Boot Camp, and sometimes when starting up Boot Camp), I understand this had something to do with the video mode, and when I connected an old CRT monitor, everything worked fine.
    Now, when I turn on my Mac Pro, the display sometimes does not show up at all. I often have to start and restart my Mac 5 or 10 times before the ViewSonic monitor will detect a signal and display. Sometimes even more (I was unable to get a display at all last night, after restarting over 20 times).
    Does anyone know why this could be? It's very frustrating to have a nice computer and a nice monitor, but not be sure if I'll be able to start it up at all.

    First you got to isolate the problem... is it the monitor, the graphic card, or the cable.
    The easiest way to find it out, is to connect another display. Does it work, you know the monitor is to blame... if not, it's the graphic card or the cable.
    Try another cable... if it still don't work, it's the graphic card.
    I have the same graphic card and while surfing around the net, I figured out that these specific model has to be treated very carefully because it is overheating very fast. So it's strictly recommended to clean it every once in a while from dust... using compressed air.
    Search around the net and you can find workarounds and pictures. Like this for example: http://www.macosg.com/group/viewtopic.php?t=13207
