Wondering if anybody could give me some advice. I recently bought a new monitor and cable. I am trying to output my 27" iMac to the new monitor via a direct DisplayPort to DVI cable (no adapter or anything), and it won't seem to detect the display. I tried it on the girlfriends MacBook Pro to her monitor and the cable worked perfectly. The monitor works fine, had it working on D-Sub and HDMI perfectly. The iMacs DisplayPort works fine also, had this successfully outputting to a TV via D-Sub. Any ideas? Many thanks. Stuart. Edit: Resetting SMD and PRAM didn't work either.

http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...009-specs.html Just tried it with a dvi to hdmi adapter, works perfectly. Weird... Edit: Just tried it with an official Apple adapter to DVI, that works. Must be the cable then. Last edited by stu_uk; 04-29-2012 at 08:27 AM. |
