IMac :: Contrast Ratio Of Monitors Directly Comparable To TV?
Nov 24, 2009HiI'm gonna purchase the 27" iMac but I'm curious about an aspect of monitors I've never considered. The iMac has a contrast ratio of 1000:1. When I look at ads for TVs, whether it's LCDs or plasmas, the contrast ratios are significantly greater. Can the contrast ratios of TVs be compared directly to computer monitors? Is for example the 1000:1 on the iMac exactly equivalent to a 1000:1 specification on a TV?

Hardware :: Using New Cinema Displays With G5?
Nov 26, 2008I'd like to purchase one of Apple's new LED Cinema Displays but I don't own one of the new MacBook Pros.
At the moment I've got the original MacBook Pro and a G5. I was hoping to hook the new display up to my G5.
Is this completely impossible or is there a converter that will enable either of these Macs to connect up to the display?
Mac Pro :: Do The Old Apple Cinema Displays Work
Aug 23, 2010Do the old Apple Cinema Displays work with the new Mac Pros?

Sorry for the dumb question, I just know apple loves to keep changing those plugs.
Hardware :: Why No 21.5" Cinema Displays?
Oct 21, 2010I need a glossy screen display to go with my 21.5" iMac. All the 21.5" IPS displays I have found (Dell, HP, LG) have a matte screen. Didn't Apple make both a 24" and 30" display at the same time? What gives?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPowerPC :: Dual Cinema Displays?
Dec 29, 2010I've been a mac guy since 1990 and for the last five years have settled into a nice PowerMac G5 with the dual 2.0 processors with the 20" Apple Cinema Display.
I did search on this but couldn't find anything specific, but I am considering adding a second 23" Apple Cinema Display to my set-up for a dual monitor workstation.
I have the ATI Radeon 9600 video card with two DVI ports. I have my 20" plugged in to port 1 and it's running at 1680x1050 resolution (the highest). When I add the second monitor, will BOTH monitors be able to run at their highest resolutions? Or do I need to add another video card?
I had heard rumor that resolutions are a trade-off: if your card is split between two monitors, then the resolution splits, true?
If I can run both at the highest res, then I'll pull the trigger and get the extra monitor. I'm assuming there's someone here who has done the exact same thing?
Hardware :: New MBP And Two 24" LED Cinema Displays?
Dec 13, 2008I have the new MacBook Pro and am interested in hooking up two of the new 24" LED Cinema Displays. Is this possible? I assume it would take some sort of splitter? Is there such an animal yet?
I currently have a 23" Cinema Display but, I think two 24's would look best side by side. ...or two 23"s side by side.
Hardware :: Repairing Cinema Displays?
Jan 31, 2009I've had little luck with getting uniform backlighting on the LED Cinema Displays, and after my second exchange, Apple wants to start taking a look at my display before I exchange again. Unfortunately I live a long way away from any Apple Stores, so driving up to one isn't really an option.
But in any case, getting a good display seems to be somewhat of a lottery - I've been wondering if perhaps a repair is a better option. I'm going to be moving to a city with an Apple store later this year - since that will fall within my 1 year warranty, do you think they'd repair my display later in the year? And can the ACDs even be repaired, or is it more of a replacement?
Hardware :: Apple LED Cinema Displays?
Jul 3, 2009I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro, and was thinking about getting a Apple Display to connect it to for watching DVDs and etc. on.
However, would it be possible to use it as a tv?
Googling this resulted in loads of stuff about DVI ports and the like I didn't really understand so just wondering if somebody would please explain whether this was possible or not?

Sep 25, 2010I have a 2008, 3.2Ghz Quad-Core Mac Pro, that's currently running two 30" Cinema displays off of a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT video card. I need to add a third 30" display. Would someone recommend the second video card I'd need to buy?
(The bus on this vintage of Mac Pro is limited to 300w of output, and only the first two slots are PCI x16, 2.0) The 8800 GT is also uses one of the two power outputs on the "Logic Board" via a cable.
In terms of Display Preferences, I need to run one as an extension--two side-by-side--and mirror the other one, which will sit across the studio, connected by a 15' Gefen Dual-Link DVI cable. Currently, I have everything set up and working beautifully, with the exception of the third display working as an extension to one of the mirrored displays.

Feb 7, 2010Is there a solution to have multiple (2-3) 24" Cinema Displays w/mini display port connected to a unibody 15" Macbook Pro?
It seems the BIG achilles heal is that "mini display port" from the display and connecting to an after market box like the Mattrox DualHead2go. This has become VERY frustrating and I may have to buy a couple of non-Apple displays as the solution! I really like my 24" displays but, NEED more real estate ESPECIALLY when running Parallels.

Jul 29, 2010I wonder if anyone has a setup with two 24 inch cinema displays that have speakers integrated into them...
How do the speakers work? Do you run a USB cable to each monitor so you have both sets of speakers working at the same time? Can you configure the monitor on the left to just play audio for the left channel and the monitor on the right to play just audio for the right channel?

Aug 25, 2014This seems an odd problem so I may be missing something -- but the connectors on my two Apple Cinema Displays will not plug into the card side by side. The plastic casing is just a tad too bulky, so you can't quite get the second connector in if the first plug is filled. It's the card that originally came with the computer, a Mac Pro 1,1.

I was thinking about picking up a 27" but it seems kind of silly if I can get a 24" for almost half the price refurbished XD
The extra space would be nice but I don't think it's several hundred dollars nicer, nor really worth it to wait several months.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Colors Of G5 Screen All Twisted With High Contrast
Dec 18, 2009Today while working with an InDesign document it crashed and I had to reboot the hard way. After starting up again the colors of my screen was all twisted and strange. It's like a very high contrast/bad resolution. Except for the screen-issue the machine works fine. I tried changing setting in preferences/display (no. of colors, resolution and color profiles) didn't work. I then tried resetting the PRAM, which didn't have any effect either. I tried creating a new user and logging into the account - and it looked fine? It's probably just a pref-file that need rebuilding or the like, but I have no clue as to where that might be. I work on a G5 PowerMac with Tiger on it.

MacBook Pro :: Display Control (Brightness / Contrast Or Backlight)
Sep 30, 2009The reason I am asking is that I am using a Spyder colorimeter to calibrate my monitor and it is asking me which controls exist on the display:

My thinking is that F1 and F2 control the backlight level and not the "brightness" level, if you get what I mean.
