Displays

Hi

I have just been given an apple mac 'Studio Display'. Will I be able to connect it to my PC or won't it be compatible?

Thanks,
Vanessa


Hi Vanessa

You don't say which Studio Display. I think if it's the flat panel one, its got an ADC connector. If your PC's Graphic card has a similar looking connector it'll probably be DVI. So you'll need a ADC to DVI adapter, like this:

Note you may have problems controlling the parameters of the display as there are no controls on it. However your Graphic Card software may be able to do this.

Hope that helps.

My mac's display is presented in a negative format. All my screens look like a photo negatve. How do I change back the settings ?

Hi JoJo

Quick way...

Hold down the very bottom left hand three keys on the keyboard at the same time then tap 8

Ctrl + Alt +  then tap 8

Or, slightly longer method...

Blue Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Black on White.

"Quick way" method toggles the effect.

Hope that helps.
