Motorols Monitors - MBP 36 vs MBP 33: Did anyone get the MBP 33 and wish they had gotten the MBP 36?
1256219
I have the MBP33 - loved it for the first 6-7 months. Now that our little guy is rolling around all around the crib, I'm back on here deciding if I want to upgrade to the MBP36, and I think I'm probably going to. It just doesn't cut it to see a picture of his feet (or something at all) in the middle of the night. First I'm going to try out mounting the MBP33 camera a bit higher, so it has a view of the entire crib, but without the zoom feature I'm guessing this won't provide a close enough view. if you can afford it, I suggest getting the MBP36 right off the bat!

It does have them. They show up in my mac's audio options menu. Honestly, they are about the worse sounding speakers I've ever experienced. The speakers in just about any laptop will bury them so if you have an alternative I wouldn't bother making the B296CL's work. Other than the audio I love this monitor.

Sorry - this is not a reply...I just want to know the same thing. I'm in the process of buying both a Macbook and the Sony DSW55, and it's important they get along great! Does anybody know otherwise? Please let me know before I order!!!

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

Be warned!If you use this speakers with a Macbook Pro AND you are connecting the MBP to an external monitor via either DVI or VGA, you are going to get a whining sound from the satellites. See this thread for full details: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3533245 but its a flaw with Macbooks and grounding of the eclectrical signals.Unfortunately this means i need to return this set of speakers and go for the wireless ones (newer version of the same speakers but connected wirelessly via USB) since the issue seems to be because i am connecting my Klipsch to the macbook with the Analog 3.5 mm connection.

I have the Spyder and it works fine for me. I would make sure both the macbook and the external monitor have the same display type. I understand the display pro is a good calibrator also. You may want to try both. Either is returnable. This way you get to try both and then decide.

The MBP only has Thunderbolt output. You will need a monitor that supports Display Port/Thunderbolt or you will need a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors. Eric.O is absolutlely correct.

Not sure about pre-intel. I have a 3-monitor set-up on 4 different mac-mini's in our sales office. At times the display link can be flaky but for the most part they were great. Be sure to update the firmware.

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: BlueRigger Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI Female Adapter Cable It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out.

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home.I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.

I owned the i5 but it was stolen. I'm looking to replace it now. I like the c330 better in every way except that the screen is significantly less bright. For this reason alone, I'm thinking of getting another i5. Price diff is negligable (approx $50)

But the description lists 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, and ATI X2600. All of those specs correspond to the current Mac Pro, not the previous version. The customer service guy I talked to claimed that the 1.33 Ghz FSB was a misprint (but they haven't corrected it yet). I'm really confused as to what this thing is.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

No, that's why I returned it....they did away with the display port and made them thunderbolt ports instead, hope this is helpful
