Does this monitor work well with a 7 yr old mac desktop G4?

As far as I know, monitors are compatible with ALL computer systems - I've always had a PC not a MAC (I always thought MAC's came as a package deal) but I guess if your monitor "goes" and your "guts" are still working...heck, why not try? I've had great luck with all HP products, great customer support/services.

I can't say since I have not tried it on a G4. I would guess 'Yes.' To me, the question is whether it would work on a Mac vs the PC. Again I would guess 'Yes' but not unequivocally so.

I really don't know. I have windows that is three years old and it worked great. I can say that their service is superior and I feel they could walk you through any problems. Hopes this helps. Let me know.

I haven't worked withi this monitor on a new iMac 5k. I have worked with it on a 15" 2010 MacBook Pro, a 15" 2012 MacBook Pro, and a 2014 Mac Pro. No issues with macs whatsoever.

I use Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard with this monitor and haven't seen a problem yet. Everything seems to be functioning perfectly.

It works fine with Mac OSX 10.7 if you install display link drivers. I can't comment on compatibility with Mac OSX 10.8 or 10.9

Yes both Mac and PC compatible. It can connect with Pin port or HDMI cable. It has turned out to be a decent monitor. Heads up that the little raised bumps on bottom right are the adjustment buttons, it took me forever to figure that out! That's how you'll select the connection type you're using.

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 has video inputs for VGA, Digital, and Display port, so if you have native options on the mac book for these, then yes it will work. Otherwise you will need some adapter.

The people said "no" only knows half of the story. I am using this monitor for my early 2013 15" rmbp right now, and it works even for 2009 macbook pro (tested) at 1440p. Just need an adapter to achieve that which is ~$80 on amazon.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

We use this with a 2012 macbook pro that has an intel HD 4000 graphics card (same as the latest mac mini's) and it works fine. I believe you would only have issues if you tried to use it in conjunction with a second monitor. As a solo monitor it should be fine. You will however probably want a mini display port to display port adapter cable. That has worked well for us.

hi janet - i have had this display since 2011 - the "best" would depend really on what you plan to use it for. I am not an adobe creative type but a novice user and it works just briliantly on a new 2015 Mac Mini. Havent really thought of upgrading. I am considering getting a dell 4k screen though since Apple really hasnt upgraded the line yet.

Yes, I believe so - the desktop I used mine on is an iMac 2010 model - the connection is the same as the MacBook pro of the same year. I've found some older HDMI connections need the source to be restarted to see the connection - but no problems here.

The monitor works well on a Macbook Pro ---- HOWEVER, you will lose your ability to control the volume settings from your keyboard if you choose to use the built-in HDMI audio. If you know of any work-around for this, please let me know.

This monitor is best for desktop computers, but for the price, this is a great monitor to have even for a macbook. Just remember that it is an HDTV monitor hybrid, which means it comes with a remote, and has built in stereo speakers. It will function exactly like a TV (and you can hook up cable to it as well!).

Yes, my wife has this Monitor connected to a Mac Mini, you just may need an adapter.

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.

Should work so long as Display Port used. Understood originally that was similar to Mac Thunderbolt monitor without some features and perhaps notch below in quality.
