No problems here - Dell PC, Win 7, It's a beautiful monitor to replace a 2 screen setup.

Mine has been used connected to a couple of different Macs, a Windows laptop and a couple of Linux boxes. It "just worked"... But it doesn't do VGA, so beware. You need HDMI or DVI.

From what I've seen the Mac users who are having issues aren't aware that they need to go into the mac Display settings and change their underscan settings. I have this problem using any large monitors on my macbook pro retina. It's easy to fix. I also have to do this in Windows sometimes through my ATI display drivers. Here's a picture of the underscan settings; https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/osx/yosemite_display_prefs.pngAll the people complaining that they can't see the OSX menu bar and things like that.. You just need to change your underscan settings to where you can see it. It's very easy.

30 seconds for the computer to turn on. Full brightness is very fast. The problem is waking up your computer to send a signal to the monitor isn't stable. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it'll work within seconds. Other times, I had to lift my laptop display. The thing is there are no drivers, which apple or acer have to address. Other than that the monitor is good.Does anyone besides me run this monitor on a mac?

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..? Dan

Mine was a new purchase two years ago and has performed better than any of my previous monitors. I would attempt an exchange with your supplier if you had eliminated possible video card, power or cable problems. Good luck, great monitor.

I am not sure how your MacBook conects to external monitors but a standard VGA cable works just fine when conecting to a PC. I hope this helps

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs! Yes.

Did you try watching movies from your mac? Are you happy with the viewing experience? Any kind of jittering... etc? I am just worried about the video card on the mini, it is the intel on board 9400 I guess. iMac comes with 256M/512M NVIDEA/ATI cards. What other features do you rate the most?

Used with 2012 Mac MINI and it works perfectly, but you have to make sure you go into the television's menu and set it for "PC" input, which removes most processing and gives the best picture. Then it will be as good as any mac monitor, I used HDMI input, also with a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter (Griffin) and used this with MacBook Air 2012. Works perfectly, but the viewing angles are bad, and that "Magic Angle" is annoying. I upgraded to the UN32EH5000 and it's leaps and bounds better, without any "Magic Angle" nonsense, but can just naturally be seen clearly from all extreme angles. It also works seamlessly with my Macs.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

I have. After a few months my Mac was not detecting my external display. I was able to unplug this adapter a few times and eventually it would detect the tv display. However after another month or so it stopped working all together. I ordered a replacement and it has been working so far, there are few options for early 2010 MacBooks.

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac. The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

I'm sorry to say I had the same issue with 1 of 2 monitors I purchased. I don't believe it's a powersupply issue b/c I swapped powersupplies and the issue still occurred. I had to RMA my bad monitor. I will say though, if you get one that works, they're really quite nice.

Did you get your 2011 MacBookPro to work with this monitor? Have the same question ....
2218745
I am going to guess you are looking for great color reproduction since you are using a Mac. If that is the case I won't I advise you to buy this monitor because although it is a great monitor and performs really well(price to performance ratio) the color reproduction is not that good and the colors look a bit faded, not as bright or crisp as you would want it to be. Hope this answers your question.

So, I have a BenQ at home, and a TB display at work. PRO BENQ: - The Apple TB only works with Macs. BenQ has connectivity for everything, including Macs, PC's, Playstations, Roku, whatever. - BenQ has brightness controls. TB display is managed exclusively from software, which can break - it did for me! Google around and you'll see a lot of frustrated users playing with firmware or trying to determine if the cable went bad. - The cable leading out of the back on a TB display is NOT removable. The cable DOES go bad, and when it does, it's a trip to the apple store, rather than ordering a new one for $5 off of Amazon. - As mentioned, height adjustment! The TB display sits low. It also doesn't allow for VESA mounts, so no 3rd party solutions like a swing-arm or aftermarket stand will work for it either. Just phonebooks. - Same resolution, aspect ratio, screen size, panel type, etc., although BenQ is slightly matte (a big pro IMO). - Another big difference: the BenQ is $400 cheaper! (Edit: now $550 cheaper, as the BenQ just dropped to a steal at $450). Or you can get a refurb TB, but I bet the warranty on that isn't as sexy. PRO Apple Thunderbolt: - The TB display acts somewhat like a docking station for Macs. Plug ethernet, USB3, firewire, other stuff into the monitor, and that all works seamlessly just by connecting power and a thunderbolt cable to your mac. Great when it works! - Made with rare-earth materials that match your Macbook metal body. Hope this helps!
