Mac Mini :: Monitor Rotated 90 Degrees In Portrait - Quality Goes Away
Nov 24, 2010I just picked up a 2010 Mac Mini. Intel 2.4 cpu, installed a OWC SSD and 8gb of RAM. Anyways, using the HDMI to DVI that was included, anytime I switch to have the monitor rotated 90 degrees so it is in portrait, the quality goes away. The text no longer looks clear, the display seems to lag, and if I drag a window, the image tears really bad. Just confirmed this also happens with a mini display port to dvi connection. I have also tried 2 different DVI cables, both a single link and a dual link.

Nov 30, 2014I was told that the new 5k imac can support one external 4k display via thunderbolt, but the 5k imac cannot itself be rotated into portrait mode (on a vesa mount for example). If I connect an external 4k display via thunderbolt to the new 5k imac, can the external display be rotated into portrait mode so I can have 3840 pixels vertically on the 4k display?

IMac :: Use Dell Monitor As Primary Monitor Connected?
Oct 22, 2009I was surprised one day to find an inch of white line running from top to bottom on my screen. Then after a week it expanded to two inches white line, then suddenly it turned all black and I can't see two inches of my screen from the right edge. I was reading some forums and found out that I can use a dell monitor as a secondary monitor, but is it possible to use the dell monitor as the primary monitor in case the black line will spread throughout the entire iMac screen? so the iMac would serve as a stand alone processor like a regular desktop?

Mac Pro :: Dual / Triple Screen Portrait Setup
Nov 15, 2010Since I'm experiencing some issues with my current setup (4870+GT120) I'd like to hear if the new cards work on 10.6.5 with at least two displays connected to it, and one of them in portrait mode. Ideally someone with three screens connected to a single card and two of them in portrait (on the DP outputs).

Apr 7, 2010I have recently (4 weeks) upgraded to Aperture 3. I noticed in one project today that some previews that should be landscape are forced and distorted into portrait mode and vice versa in the preview. Opening the image shows the image in the correct orientation. Updating preview seems to make no difference. I'm reluctant to rebuild from masters as I have made many alterations to this project (2500 images). Here's a screenshot:

Feb 6, 2009Does Keynote have the ability to work in a Portrait Layout?
I know that Microsoft's PowerPoint gives you the ability to work in either Portrait or Landscape. I can't seem to find anything about this for Keynote. Therefore, I am assuming that it does not exist. Please don't tell me that I don't need it.
Mac Pro :: 3rd Screen - Portrait Orientation To Display Printed Pages?
Feb 11, 2010I've got two 20.1" normal aspect monitors right now (Dell 2001FPs), both being driven by the GT120 in my Nehalem Mac Pro. I want to buy a third screen that I can put in portrait orientation to better display printed pages.
1) 24" widescreen aspect.
2) Ability to stand in a portrait orientation (tall, not wide) with the default stand.
3) Ideally a Dell model, since my other two screens are Dells (this would be nice, but is not essential).
4) Hopefully somewhat cheap (~$300).
I see plenty of 24" models on the Dell site, but it is not clear to me which ones can be mounted portrait on the provided stand. I don't care about the screen being able to pivot; I intend to mount it portrait and leave it there.
Hardware :: MacBook Pro - Dual External Monitors - Portrait Mode?
Mar 26, 2010I'm considering purchasing a 15" MacBook Pro when the upgraded models are released. I do a lot of coding so I'd like to have at least one external monitor, maybe two. Can an external monitor be configured to portrait mode? That would let me see as much code as possible. Do the MBPs support dual external monitors? What resolution max? I realize that the new models haven't been released yet so it's hard to know for sure. I might just get a 27" iMac for now, then get a 13" MBP later. I'm switching from a 15" Dell.

Jan 9, 2010I have a 27" i7. I have a 24" DVI Montior hooked up to it via MDP->DVI adaptor. When the 24" Monitor is on, everything is fine. When I turn the monitor off, the magic mouse tracking on the 27" screen stutters. I am not kidding - it took me ages to figure out that to fix I either need to turn the other monitor on OR disconnect the MDP->DVI adaptor.

Jun 11, 2009I have an Intel IMAC, which is now out of warranty as I have had it for 16 months (and I was dumb enough not to get AppleCare). A few days back, my computer would not startup and everytime I hit the power button, I would hear some spinning noise but no chime from the iMAC. Yesterday, I tried it again and this time I heard the chime but the monitor did not start. I was then able to SSH into the MAC and see that it is indeed connected to the network and booted up, but the screen is still dead. Any ideas what I should do before the painful trip to the apple store ?

Apr 8, 2008I have a newer iMac 24" bought in 11/2007. I have the mini-dvi to vga converter and when I connect it to a external tv capable of 1024x768, the iMac freezes and does nothing. I disconnect and the screen turns blue and the flickers back on and everything works. I have made the connection then booted up, and I have tried every resolution all the way down to 640x480, same thing it just locks up the screen, but again as soon as I unplug the mini-dvi to vga cable from the iMac it flicks to a blue screen and everything comes back. I have reviewed dmesg nothing, and revieiw /var/log/messages. Is there any troubleshooting I can do. I am old school unix/linux guy just converted my family to Apple and would like to use the display on my tv to watch my iTunes movies.

View 21 Replies View RelatedIMac :: Best Second Monitor For 21.5" IMac
Aug 3, 2010I know this question has been asked before, but, monitors/prices change so frequently I want to make sure I get an up-to-date answer!I've recently purchased the new entry-level 21.5" iMac, and I am currently using it alongside a 20" Dell 2005FPW (which I already had).
I want to replace this monitor with a newer one that will be a better match with the iMac's own display. At the moment, the main differences seem to be brightness (the iMac is LED-backlit), contrast & colour, and finally the 'gloss' finish on the screen.Does anyone have any good recommendations/suggestions? I'm not looking for anything massive (same size as the iMac or slightly larger - I've no idea what the limit is to what can be run off the mini displayport?). Budget is around 200 (which is around $320 apparently!).
IMac :: Using An Additional Monitor With IMac 27?
Aug 15, 2010I can't make a decision about what monitor I should buy to use with my new iMac 27. I have a limit budget about $400 -$500. I narrow my choice into these models, which are Dell U2410 and HP 2710m or Dell U2311H.
I'm a Software Engineer and I'm using the Dell U2410 at my company and I dont have any problem with it. I can get it only $435
The problem is that I would like to know people using 27 iMac with a smaller monitor like 24 inch. What do you feel? any different? That's why my choice includes Hp2710M even if it's not the IPS monitor but a TN monitor. I cna get it $340
The Dell U2311h is the IPS monitor as well and I can get it only $250. With only one inch less than U2410 but less price almost $200, I could not ignore it.
Should i get ont of the IPS monitor even if the screen is smaller or use the same size with my iMac 27? I cant afford the IPS 27 inch.
IMac :: Use As Monitor Of Mb / Mbp
Apr 2, 2009Is this possible? Is there a workaround for it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: New Imac / Monitor With MBP?
Dec 5, 2009I read an article about just using a laptop as your main computer, desktop. So I went to a MBP 2.16 dual core version which has been working out except for times when I need to get accurate color correction for my pro photography business. I have an older, too old now CRT that I hoop up to it many times for photo editing but now I realize that that monitor needs to be replaced. So here is the question what are the pros and cons for adding another computer, do I really need it. I am trying to make a decision. I really like my MBP, I can do everything on it and the speed is fine. Also having only one computer is easy for backing up and not worrying about file sharing and all the nonsense I guess. I have an office with my CRT in there much most of the time but it's dark and boring so I bring my laptop in the kitchen where I surf, edit and watch tv from the living room. That being said I just started to get the bug about a new quad Imac 27" and went yesterday to look at it. I came very close to walking out with it. Yes it would be awesome to have but do I really need it? The other alternative is buying the new 24" ips screen and running that off my MBP when I need to do critical photo editing. Then I am thinking my laptop is over 3 years old now and wonder what is the life on it? I would hate to buy the nice desk top and not use it, plus I would need more backup systems etc. I do you external HD.s for all my clients photos so if I choose to work on them I just move the HD. Any advice? New 27" Imac or will the 24" monitor suffice?

IMac :: 2nd Monitor Brightness?
Nov 26, 2010I have a 27 iMac, and a 22 inch Viewsonic as the second monitor.
The second monitor is just not bright. I have used another monitor as a second monitor as well. Both are just not bright enough to suit me.
I have fiddled with the brightness controls, to no avail.
Is that a generic problem with second monitors?
They just don't get enough juice or something?
Would another brand monitor help?
IMac :: OS X 10.5.8 Screen As Monitor
Dec 24, 2010I am very untechnical so much of what I have read on this matter is above my head, but in simple language, if I buy a new MAc Book Pro is there any way that I can use the 21" screen on my 2005 iMAc OS X as a monitor? I asked someone at Apple Store and was told that though later models were fully compatible, for one that old I would need special software, but he couldn't say what. An earlier thread posted last year that I didn't fully understand suggests that I don't need software.

Oct 26, 2009I am seriously considering the possibility of using the 27in iMac as an external monitor with my MBP when I am home and need the extra monitor space. That would also allow my family to use the iMac when I am away at work or out of town. Since my MBP has a Mini DisplayPort, it should be as easy as connecting the MDP from the laptop to the MDP on the back of the iMac and then connecting the USB for audio? However if the iMac is turned on, how can I use the monitor without the actual computer running at the same time?
