Smaller actual image than the screen size I've had this monitor for about 6 months now. I have a Macbook that I use with this monitor on which I run windows 7 (bootcamp) occasionally. However, the total image is smaller than the actual screen size. My question is: what do I have to do in order access the full 27" screen size when running on the windows side? It works perfect on the OSX side, going all the way to the edge. But with windows, there's this 1" black border on the sides and 1/2" black border on the top and bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Smaller actual image than the screen size I've had this monitor for about 6 months now.

Yeah, that fixed it! Thanks! Had to go to AMD to download their Catalyst something. Then I had to get rid of that and find the one specific for Mac. Changed the overscan to 0% and no more black border. Thanks again burntham. Now I get to add another thing to my "why I hate Windows" list.

If you are using a Radeon video card in your Macbook, you should look at your display settings for something called "overscan." If you set that to zero, it should solve the black border problem. If you have not already, I would also check www.amd.com for a drive update. Mind you, this comes from me assuming you have a Macbook with an AMD graphics chip in it.

I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 on my Mac Mini (late 2009). I believe this is the most recent version of Mac OS X. No problem, except the dual monitor display does NOT allow me to spread application (e.g., a Numbers spreadsheet) across screens and the icons are now very 2-dimensional. This is in contrast to Maverick OS X which did allow applications to span monitors and had higher quality icons. Yosemite is designed for iOS compatibility, I guess.I was able to download Yosemite and upgrade from Maverick without going to the Apple store, so I think you should be able to do it yourself.

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 never use Mac and do not know about Mac. As long as I know, if both(parts and computer with Mac or Windows) have same interfaces such as HDMI or DVI or D-sub, it will work. Mac has usually Display port, Thunderbolt or HDMI interface for Monitor. Sometimes, I heard, connecting by HDMI is a difficult task for Mac to have good visual quality. Someone uses TB to DVD cable. Several years ago, if a part of computer works with Windows or Mac, some indications like a kind of Windows stickers or Mac stickers are attached on the part. However, nowadays, such stickers are not on parts of computer. I think that it means compatibility is not a problem. I never use Mac and do not know about Mac.

Absolutely. I installed Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac via boot camp. I am running Mountain Lion OS on my Mac by the way. Also, my Mac has a 2.66 ghz processor and 8 GB of RAM. Windows 7 runs flawlessly, buttery smooth and lightning fast. You will love it. My only regret is I should have made the partition larger. I only devoted 80 GB to Windows, I wish i had devoted 200 GB of my 1 terabyte drive. Also, when you get to the point of formatting the drive during installation when Windows starts, choose ADVANCED and format the partition in the NTSB format. Windows will only run in this format, NOT the default FAT format that boot camp creates. Absolutely. I installed Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac via boot camp.

The main issue is that your Mac has DVI-D port or proper DVI-Dual link gender.By the Nvidia specification, GTX285 support 2560*1660 Resolution.http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285/specificationsMac OS X is little bit different from Windows OS.So I suggest you find more information before buying this kind of bypass monitor.Otherwise, I just want to suggest Multi port monitor. (RGB, DVI-D, HDMI and DP port)Cheers!

If your screen size is 13.3 diagonal. But I believe you may have a 14.1 diagonal. Therefore do a search on 14.1 Mac replacement screen. Either way, it's an easy but careful process to change over and its still working well.

You are giving up having a larger viewing area for your monitor. Also, probably Macbook Pro you have has a faster CPU and maybe a faster HD. You cannot replace those on a Macbook. If your Pro has a 7200 rpm HD then that is much better than the 5400 HD that's available on the Macbook.Combine that with a 2.8 GHz cpu and you have a much faster laptop.If you are talking about weight the Macbook weighs 4.5 lbs and the Pro probably a lb or more than that. Bottom line, unless you are doing a lot of graphics of photoshopping that require a lot of cpu time and HD space I would say that an aluminum Macbook would be just fine for you.

I've looked on the Apple site, and it appears to me that Apple only offers a small version of the cable. In my experience its generally used as an adapter. There is long mini to DVI adapter, but not a mini to VGA on the Apple site, but not with the best reviews. Good luck!

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

Please be specific. What is the model 1466? You know but many people don't know what it mean just like me even though you shown the pix. By the way, it is only fit on Apple laptop 13" screen. That is all I know.

Thanks Rando213. I have an iMac too, running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anyone in my situation was having trouble using this keyboard while running windows on their iMac, because I saw another comment where the person said she couldn't get the keyboard to work when Bootcamping Bill G's POS OS. Anyways, thanks for responding!

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?

I have tested this in Bootcamp with a 2013 MacBook Air, and it worked for me. I installed the Windows drivers from CalDigit.I leave the lid closed (clamshell mode) when the Air is connected to the dock, and I have a monitor connected to the HDMI port. I use the gigabit Ethernet port, and one of the USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. This setup works for me in Bootcamp with Windows 7. I didn't try hot-plugging the dock in Windows 7. Given what I've read about the Apple Thunderbolt Display, I don't think it work work in Windows, but I haven't tested it.

Does anyone have tested this new magic mouse in a Mac/IMAC with bootcamp and windows?I know that may be there are not driver yet for windows, but I would like to know if tha basic bottoms and scroolling could work?

I believe they are being literal in their instructions. Do not place (literally) anything on top of your Mac. - And yes, one can buy a stand that the Mini fits under and your monitor sits on top.
