[QUOTE="TechieJustin, post: 1044390, member: 78233"] a few graphic designers I know seem to have fetishes for ViewSonic - their higher end models. The problem is I think they're rather pricey, and their model naming scheme can be somewhat ambiguous; if that makes any sense. In case this hasn't been covered, you will need an adapter to hook the MBP up to a standard DVI monitor. I bought one off ebay for about ten bucks. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_displayport]Mini DisplayPort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] I'm assuming you're in the USA? If you are, I suggest buying one from a seller in the US. If you're not based inthe US, I suggest buying one from the same country. [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Displayport-DP-DVI-adapter-MacBook-Pro-Air-/140391594173?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20affdb8bd]Mini Displayport DP to DVI adapter For MacBook Pro Air - eBay (item 140391594173 end time May-14-10 19:33:22 PDT)[/url] I have one of these as well for when I hook my MBP 15" to a projector. [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Displayport-VGA-adapter-MacBook-Air-Pro-15-/280495324902?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414ed2fee6#ht_2773wt_1167]Mini Displayport to VGA adapter For MacBook Air Pro 15" - eBay (item 280495324902 end time May-18-10 20:31:04 PDT)[/url] [B]...AND...[/B] I have one of these in case I have to hook the machine up to a TV. [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Displayport-HDMI-Short-Cable-Adapter-Converter-/110513371244?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bb1c386c#ht_3814wt_1167]Mini Displayport To HDMI Short Cable Adapter Converter - eBay (item 110513371244 end time May-28-10 10:01:38 PDT)[/url] Next time I fly I'll probably get accosted by the TSA for all the weird adapters and cables I carry. That's exactly what I did three years ago with a black MB 13!" :D I figured what better way to learn than to jump right in. However, many of my Windows habits are still evident. For example, I always partition the hard drives into two partitions. I use the second partition exclusively for storage of huge files; formatted to [B]non[/B] journaled HFS. Anyone else do that? I tend to ramble on and on after I read too much... [/QUOTE]
