Ohh, interesting. Thanks for the quick reply! I think I can likely deal because the price sure is right. I wonder if anyone more experienced in this area knows if Apple (or Acer) is fairly reliable about getting proper drivers out?

Good Morning Nilson, Yes, the Dell B1165nfw (w = wireless) will work with your Mac OS X. Please also check the Dell B1265dnf (with D = Duplex, N = Wired Network, and NO Wireless), but this B1265dnf is a more reliable network printer, which also supports the AirPrint feature. Please also note that we are selling the B1165nfw and B1265dnf with Dell 3-Years NBD Warranty. Regards, RRI 04/23/2014 ++++++++

If your Mac has those resolutions, it will output them. Whether or not the projector or monitor you are outputting to can handle those resolutions is the real question.

I'm using the cable and the monitor (dell u2713hm) at 2560x1440 (which is the highest resolution). I'm not using it with a mac mini, but the cable supports it.

I don't have a mac, but I don't see why not. I'm on Windows 7 and I am running 5 monitors (laptop, HDMI, VGA, and 2 AOC monitors) from my Alienware...

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

i plug it into my Macbook air, using a mini displayport to VGA adapter and a VGA chord. It works perfectly.

Did you get your 2011 MacBookPro to work with this monitor? Have the same question ....

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

I see no reason this monitor wouldn't be compatible with your MacBook Air. You would need a thunderbolt to Hdmi cable and that should be all.

Yes, but I'm waiting for Apple to upgrade this monitor to the new flat one like in the iMac - and, perhaps Retina. Don't know why they don't do that. Probably don't sell enough of them "stand-alone" like they do the iMac. I had this one at work and it's very nice. Display is just remarkable - even non-Retina. Considering how much time you spend looking at a monitor - do your eyes a favor and get the best!

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.

I believe you will need an adapter as this monitor is VGA. To use with my MacBook air i needed a thunderbolt to VGA adapter

I'm using it on my Mac OS X, version 10.7.5. the MacBook Pro.Had the store manager of an Apple approved outlet install it. Price surely beats the one and only Apple monitor for $1K. I am very pleased with it and need to install it on my old Dell laptop.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.

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.

Like on Window's PC's, you will have to download the right drivers. It took me about 4 hours to get my new 1080p monitor to work right, had to download 3 or 4 drivers. Make sure that you go to the ViewSonic page to update all your current drivers first, the disk that it comes with does not have the updates on it. You will probably have to go to Apple to get the right Mac drivers too. It's a pain, but the monitor works awesome once you get it set up. I'm extremely pleased with mine, the side viewing is just as good as direct on viewing. One of my laptops that I have set up for this monitor only has 1GB of Ram, and it works just fine with it.
