[QUOTE="LucidDreamIV, post: 989269, member: 141871"] Thanks for the quick response. I have tried restarting with the screen attached and just plugging in after it's started. I've also been trying other DVI cables and another external display (different brand and model) with no success. I'm getting the feeling there must be some issue with either the Macbook or the adaptor itself though. Both of the screens I've tried work perfectly when connected to my housemate's Windows setup. I'll look into the VGA alternative if I have no luck with the DVI at all but I'd rather make this work with what I've got. I'm fairly sure the input is on auto, as when I turn the screen on with nothing attached it scans between digital and analog. My Macbook is quite old, approaching 3 years, so it might have something to do with that. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to finally get a new Macbook Pro. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
