    Cinema Display and Thunderbolt Display brightness control

    Hey all, I recently got a new iMac and it came with High Sierra installed. Previously I was on Sierra. I use it combined with a Thunderbolt Display from Apple (damn... the difference in display quality...). What's new to me is... the display brightness control doesn't work as it used to. I...

    Does Cinema Display work (well) with new MBA?

    I'm thinking of buying a Macbook Air now (mid 2017 model). Will there by any problems using my old 27" Cinema Display with it? I can see that MBA still has Thunderbolt 2, and that is backward compatible? (unlike Thunderbolt 3) Will the display have full functionality? E.g. wake up when I use...

    Do screens like my dead iMac had exists?

    My 2011 27" iMac died recently. While I've already moved on to a new PC (Intel i5-8400, GTX 1060), after 7 years of the iMac, I can't settle for a lesser screen, but I've found a lot of monitor options lacking in two big departments: Monitors often have narrow viewing angles Monitors often have...

    Share Cinema screen among MacBook Pro and Ubuntu Desktop

    I've got a nice newish 27'' cinema screen which I use together with my MacBook pro in clamshell mode. Loving how it works as a docking station - e.g. I've a time machine drive attached to the screen so every time I attach my laptop to the screen it takes a backup. But I have some computational...

    30" Cinema Display

    Does anyone know if Apple's 30" Cinema Display works ok with High Sierra? I'm currently running Sierra on a Macbook Pro (early 2011) just fine. But I saw in a review on Amazon someone says it is no longer compatible with High Sierra. Is this true? I hope not...cause this is the best display I've...

    Thunderbolt 4 in 2018?

    It's been speculated that Apple will announce a new 8K cinema display in year 2018. The only 8K monitor on market right now requires dual DP 1.4 connection. A single thunderbolt 3 is unlikely to handle 8K at 60Hz. Will Apple allow using dual thunderbolt 3 connection, or forcing people to buy a...

    Cinema display shuts off and makes 'clicking' noise

    Hi For the last year or so, I have had a truly weird issue with my 27" Apple Cinema Display (non-thunderbolt, about 5-6 years old). When the display has been connected to power and my Macbook pro for an hour or so, it shuts off, and starts making a 'clicking' noise every 5 seconds. Power from...

    Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort not working with Thunderbolt

    I can't seem to figure this out: I have a Cinema Display, the one with a Mini DisplayPort. I haven't used it in a few months and went to use it a week ago. I plugged the Mini DisplayPort into my 2013 MBP Thunderbolt port and nothing happened. It won't turn on. I've checked that the power cable...

    Macbook Air Connecting External Display

    Hi guys! It's the first time I'm using this forum and I'm far from being a "tech" guy, so excuse any obvious or naive question. I have a MacBook Air (11'', 2015) and I just got a Apple Cinema Display 23''. I want to connect them since the monitor on my MacBook Air is far too small for work. I...

    Just updated to 10.12.4 on my 2013 6-core Mac Pro with D700s and 16 GB RAM. I have the 30" Cinema HD monitor, which still works beautifully.

    Nvidia Gt 120 and Cinema Display LED

    Hi, After few tries at the time I bought my MacPro I wasn't sure if all Nvidia GT 120 have a weird behaviour or only mine. Back then, sometimes I had no screen when I boot on my MacPro with the official Apple GT 120. The MacPro is connected to an Apple Cinema Display 24" LED. In order to...

    I'm trying to connect my 24" Apple Led Cinema Display to my new MBP, I bought the Kensington sd4600 dock, but can't have it work. If I connect a Dell Display Port screen it works, but when I connect my Cinema Display through the StarTech DisplayPort to Mini Display Port adapter, nothing...

    2013 Mac Pro + 30" Apple Cinema Display

    I recently had both cards in my 2013 Mac Pro replaced by Apple (as well as all diagnostic tests), and yet my old 30" Apple Cinema Display still has horizontal lines flickering across my screen when connected. Does not happen when connected to my 2009 Mac Pro Does not happen when connected to my...

    Cinema Display - Heat

    My Cinema Display is running very heat. Especially on left lower side. This makes greay smudges appear on left and some on right side of my display when hot. They don't appear while cold. As I could see, the hot air flow comes out on left lower side, but I think my Cinema Display fan can be...

    Cinema Display Not Turning On With Windows 7

    I didn't know where else to post this because technically it's a PC issue. I felt people familiar with apple products can give insight since it's an Apple display. I just bought a used graphics card (Radeon HD 6870) because it has mini displayports for the sole purpose of connecting to my Apple...

    Solution to hide unsightly Mac Pro cables

    I stumbled upon a fine solution to hide all the unsightly cables attached to my cylinder Mac Pro. I was gifted an old 23 inch cinema display which I took apart for fun. It turns out that the hollow aluminium case makes the perfect platform for the Mac Pro. An old 20 inch cinema display will do...

    Hey guys, I have a late 2010 Mac Pro and the 27" LED Cinema Display (Non Thunderbolt). I've been thinking about getting the new Mac Pro and was wondering if my display will work with it? I'm guessing not, seeing as Apple brought out a newer Thunderbolt version a few years back. Maybe there's...
