Would this female Mini-Displayport to male Displayport adapter work to connect the 24" LED Cinema Display to a non-Apple PC with standard Displayport connection ?
My understanding is that the Minidisplayport and Displayport are electrically identically, with the difference being in the size of the connector and gauge of the cable. And that only Apple is using the Mini!
I just bought a Dell Studio XPS 16 and the LED Cinema is on my short list for a desktop monitor. To my knowledge it is the only H-IPS panel with LED backlight available, excluding some extremely expensive professional displays.
Dell is introducing a U2410 that also has a 24" H-IPS panel and Displayport connector. But unfortunately it keeps the CCFL backlighting, LED probably would have made the display too costly to compete with the HP L2475. I expect it to be about $600 and would be willing to pay the extra for the Apple. The XPS 16 has the RGBLED 1080p screen so I expect to be disappointed with the typical CCFL on 24" monitor...
The adapter is cheap so I could always order it, and bring it with my Dell notebook to the Apple store. They'd probably let me give it a try. I know the captive cable also has a USB connector which will work without trouble. Obviously the power cable will not, although it would be interesting to replace the adapter with one that would fit the Dell
I've been toying with the idea of selling my 15" hi-spec MacBook Pro and buying either a 13" MacBook Pro or MacBook Air and a 24" monitor to connect it to (I just bought an Xbox 360 so I no longer have any use for the extra power in my 15").
I know a while back Apple had their 24" LED Cinema Displays refurbished for $599, but I haven't seen that deal in a while, and I really can't afford to spend $900 on a display.
So, my question is, what's the closest monitor to the LED ACD in terms of color accuracy, gamut, and so forth? I do web and graphic design, so I need something that's high quality (but at the same time, I'd like to stay below $600 if possible). Additionally (although not nearly as great a concern), are there any monitors that have a similar design/appearance to the ACD?
Now is my question wheather i can connect it to a normal windows pc/notebook (without a display port, because i know those adapters exist) as well. it should be possible using any adapters/signalconverters, but which?
They are USB speakers and Logitech does not make drivers for them for OS X. Thus, they do not work properly. I can not adjust Bass or Treble, and the Volume adjustment isn't vary good (can't get it vary low). I have been dealing with Logitech support and they said they should work with OS X's drivers. Welllll they don't, after multiple emails back and forth they said to check to see if my audio drivers are up to date. Witch I am pretty sure they are. They directed me to this link [url] and I can't even find audio drivers there.
So anyone use these speakers on your Mac? Or anyone have a clue what to do. Since logitech support is not vary good.
The HP dv4-1548dx laptop computer has keys to adjust the display brightness of the LCD display but no keys to adjust the contrast. "Operating system Windows 7" How can I adjust the Contrast ?
One of our employees has an HP Pavilion G6 laptop. He uses an external display at work but has to keep the screen of the laptop open. If he closes the screen, then the video to the external display is power off. Â What are the settings to allow the laptop screen to be closed and still be able to get video to an external display.
Yesterday I left my computer for 3 minutes unatended, and when I returned I saw that the screen was on but there was no picture. Something like a blank screensaver. So I restarted, but the screen still was not displaying anything. There is only backlight with absolutely no image whatsoever.
So I plugged in the laptop today to an external monitor, and the monitor displayed bars of RGB lines all over the place. So I am wonderring what do you guys think could have went wrong? Do you think it could be the GPU, bad connection? I can see that there is some HD activity going on through the led but nothing loads or makes a sound.
All of the diagnostics have been run, multiple times to determine the BIOS light flash count blank screen issue, and all other suggestions run, including an additional monitor, with no success.  Hard drive, disc drive, everything works, or at the very least sounds like it is attempting to work as required on start up, just a blank screen. Final diagnostic points to the video card as the culprit? With all of the new systems available around $300, would like to know if it is the video card, and if it is worth the fix or just purchase an entirely new system?  G61-511WM Windows 7
I just recently purchased the HP Probook 450 G1.  The laptop doesn't come with any OS installed so I intalled windows 7 64-bit.  After installing all drivers I see in Device manager  screen that my Display Adapters areÂ
AMD Radeon HD 8600/8700 Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600  but in the shop they said that my video adapter is AMD Radeon HD 8750M  My question is: are   AMD Radeon HD 8600/8700  and AMD Radeon HD 8750M  the same "things".  My hardware ID :  PCIVEN_1002&DEV_6600&SUBSYS_1947103C&REV_00PCIVEN_1002&DEV_6600 &SUBSYS_1947103CPCIVEN_1002&DEV_6600&CC_030000PCIVEN_1002&DEV_6600&CC_0300
It happens that my laptop sometimes start showing 4 displays and sometimes when rebooted several times. Starts working normally. Seems to me more of a drivers problem or else why would it start normally if this was a hardware problem. Also, when laptop was running, I kept shaking the laptop just to check if it was a hardware problem like the lcd's cable might be loose which fitted in the motherboard but it was not the case.
Laptop is: HP Envy 6.+Laptop is not under warranty.
I recently purchased an HP Pavillion X2 2in1 laptop and want to connect it to my TV. The laptop was recentluy upgraded to windows 8.1.  When I connect using an HDMI cable, the TV recognises that the HDMI is connected, but the laptop screen will not transmit onto the tv screen. When I hit f4 to toggle the display, it says 'Your PC cannot project to another screen. Try reinstalling the driver or using another video card.'  When I go into control panel as recommended on other queries, the adjust resolution screen does not give me any other options than the Basic PnP display. It's like my laptop cannot detect my tv. It is not in my computer, devices or anything. I didn't attempt connecting it to my tv when it just had windows 8 on it ...

Have used my HP 2000 laptop many times to connect to a big screen TV using the VGA output jack and hook it to the VGA input of my big screen. Â Now, for some reason, there is no video output to the big screen, I have tried 3 different cords (VGA to VGA) and get nothing on two, and on the third I get a video transfer but it blinks off and on both on the monitor of the laptop and my big screen with only about 1/2 of a picture showing on both. Â When it did this, I tried repositioning the output jack on the computer output and it changed the picture somewhat, but could never get it to work.
I am using a HP ProBook 450 G2 with Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit).  None of the Fn + Function keys work (i.e. for battery, brightness , sound).  Is there any actual driver for this?

i have recently purchased and HP Envy 17 laptop and have been trying to backup all of my iphone 5s photos and videos onto thelaptop however everytime i try to play videos either through the photos folder or the photos library app nothing works.In the photo app the app just freezes and crashes and in the photos documents folder media player just comes up not responding. This hapens with the vast majority of my videos i have seen that other people have had the same issure and i have installed the VLC video app as suggested and still nothing works.
there has been an IOS update since i started taking videos however this makes no diffeence as the handful of videos that do work are from both before and after the update so it can not be an issue with my phone and the videos i have taken in the last few days dont work.
When I plug my M4400 into my TV via DisplayPort->HMDI, the video and audio play fine on the tv.. However the video and audio also continue to play on the laptop. The video is no big deal-
I can lower the lid, or point it in a different direction. But the doubling of the audio through the laptop speakers is a serious pain .....
I have an HP ENVY dv6t-7300 laptop. I'd like to connect it to a 1920x2000 24" monitor. My laptop has a max screen resolution of 1366x768.  A couple of questions...
1). Is an HDMI cord the best way to to connect to the monitor? 2). Will the monitor stretch the 1366 pixels to fit the 1920 pixels or will the image not fill the monitor?
The display of my hp pavilion 15 N 043ee laptop is extremely dim. I'm unable to see anything on the screen unless I shine a flashlight onto it, and even then I can barely see. When I connect it to an external monitor it works fine. I restarted it and hit f8 to access the bios screen and it's also dim there as well. My laptop is only a few months old ....
So I just bought a new HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j130us (Windows 8.1) a few weeks ago and now something is wrong with the screen. I decided I would connect my laptop to my TV monitor via HDMI. I set the laptop on top of my Xfinity cable box while it was plugged in (HDMI cable is too short) and continued doing my homework. A few hours later, when I unplugged it from the HDMI cable and picked the laptop up, the screen turned greenish and flickered. It went away eventually. But then I noticed that when I tilted the screen back or fowards or even slightly moved the laptop, the screen would turn green again and flicker green a little. I hope this is not my fault in some way. The touchscreen and the backlight works just fine. I can still see what's on the screen while its green. Right now it's fine unless I move the laptop or tilt the screen in some way. Also, when plugged into the TV, that’s fine as well.
