How do you get the monitor to work with a MacBook Pro? I've hooked it up using a mini display port to display port cable but it's not working.

I am using it with a 2011 mac mini. Purchased the cheapest mini display port to display port cable on Amazon and it worked without any effort. I imagine you have already tried going in system preferences then Displays to see if it shows up. Wish I could help more.

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable. Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time.

Maybe check with apple about a system update. I still running 10.6 on my MacBook Pro and it worked perfect using the same cable you have the very first time I booted up! So maybe it's a system issue that apple can help out with doing a system update.

You may need to adjust the display settings to an "extended desktop" mode ( Microsoft terminology). Try rebooting after you've connected.

I had zero success making it work on any adapter aside from the standard display port. The one I bought is a really pretty paper weight, but i wish you luck!

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.

You should check if you have a Dual Link DVI output on the MBP. It looks like a DisplayPort adaptor for Dual Link DVI has worked for others.

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.

Hi Jerry - this was bought to work with my wife's MacBook Pro, but did not "work" for anything more than 640x480 very irritating. We had to buy the Apple manufactured item. Not sure if it is due to Apple's shenanigans or a defect in this product. I cannot locate the item to answer your specific question. Sorry if this is not of much help (and sorry for the delay in responding - I was traveling).

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

There is a dongle that plugs in mini-hdmi. Not sure if that works but you need something of that sort. C&E Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.

I had no issue with my rMBP. I usually just use HDMI, but a Thunderbolt (Mini-display port) to Display Port will also work, as well as Thumderbolt to DVI.

Unfortunately I don't have a MacBook Pro, so that was not a concern; but I have mine plugged into a Mac Mini with excellent quality. This monitor ships with both VGA & HDMI cables; if your box can accept these, you're good to go. Power would not be an issue since the monitor has its own AC adapter plug. I think it would be an excellent compliment and good investment for a laptop. The owners manual for this screen is downloadable if you need further assurance. Apple want $1000 for this quality; so I feel I got more than a great deal.

The small end will plug into a macbook pro., but if your monitor does not support displayport, you may have to get a cable with a dvi connector at the other end

I use this adaptor to connect a projector to my Macbook Pro. I have not tried to connect a monitor. Call the Apple Store and ask them.

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.
