Will Other Brand Monitors work with MacPro?

Hi,
Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
Thanks for any info...

Thanks so much for your response, Niel, I really appreciate it! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17"), and the new Mac and new monitor are playing nicely together - so all's good!

    it should pair with it, there might be some advanced features that wont work but the basic ones should be fine.
    i used an HS 500 on a samsung A 358 ( i think it was the model) and it worked very well for calls.

  • Will iweb continue to work with other web host after june 2012

    will iweb continue to work with other web host after june 2012

    as long as osx supports it, iweb should work beyond june 2012 as an app by itself.
    however, the some of the currently published code will break when mme servers are to shut down; unless apple comes up with a patches by then.
    most of mme features can be replaced and fully implemented on other host servers.
    Password protection
    can be implemented with apache server.

    no need for manually resizing iframe.
    if you have comments on mme servers and value them then you should find ways to archive them, because they'll be gone:

    Blog search
    with google search, as long as your site is indexed with google search engines.

    as for photos page's popup slideshows, everything can be packaged in an installer so there is no need for editing, find+replace of anything.
    if i feel good i just may release my installer for iweb slideshow patch.

  • Can any monitor work with my imac12,2 (27") as a dual monitor?

    Can any monitor work with my imac12,2 (27") as a dual monitor?

    there is a app called Btv which will allow you to record video and audio that is inputed from the A/V card (wings personality card). depending on the cpu speed you have difrent recording results. i know it uses QT but im not for shure if it will use any codec that is installed in QT tho.
    here is where you get Btv

    i know there is others maybe for OS 9.2.2 but i would not know where to look. maybe some one else can chime in to add more choices

    JCGood1984, welcome to the forum.
    The computer should take a standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I suggest measuring the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one in the links.  If the measurements are the same, it should fit.  I don't know anything about the brand, however.

  • Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

    Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all? 
    Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
    I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
    E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
    "When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run." 
     "It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
     "It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .." 
    E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
    "Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
    So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
    So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks 

    It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

  • Will a WRE54G repeater work with a WRT160N router?

    I'm using a WRT160N router and only getting 2 bars out of 5; fair signal. A friend has offered to sell me a WRE54G range expander. Will a G repeater work with an N router?

    Yes,the WRE54G should work with WRT160N...You need to match all the wireless settings of the router to the range expander and it should work then.

  • Will the Cinema Display work with an older MacBook Air?

    My wife has an older MacBook Air (circa late 2009) with one USB 2.0 port and one Mini Display port. Will the Cinema display work with this model Air?

    It looks to me like the cinema display is a DVI connection.  If  you have a MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter that connected the MBpro to the display then you have everything you need.  (plus a DVI cable).   The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port of the MBair.
