Combat flight simulator for mac. Oct 28, 2018 Problem: Laptop rebooted and HP ZR2740w monitor no longer recognized high resolution option. How to increase font size in excel formula bar for mac. Max resolution now 1280 x 720! Have been using monitor off docking station on high resolution for years with no problem, have Windows XP 64-bit OS. Reloaded monitor drivers from original CD that came with monitor without success. Nov 18, 2015 I'm using HP ZR2740w 2560x1440 display connected via Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter to Thunderbold/Mini DisplayPort socket on Mac mini late 2012, model MD388. Every time it boots up, display goes blank and then to powersave mode on time when login screen should be.
I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt port. I just bought an HP ZR2740w 27' LCD monitor, 2560x1440 pixel resolution. This monitor uses the same IPS panel as the Apple Cinema Display. The monitor came with a DisplayPort cable. I had to buy a separate MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter.
Setup 1: This works. My father's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro with MiniDisplayPort (not Thunderbolt, they didn't have Thunderbolt yet) --> MiniDP to DP adapter --> DP cable that came with monitor --> Monitor. This works, the MacBook auto-detects the monitor and drives it at full resolution. Clearly, the adapter, cable, and monitor all work. It looks beautiful.
Setup 2: Exactly the same, except remove my father's MacBook Pro and put in MY MacBook Pro, which is Early 2011 model. This does not work. When I plug in the monitor, the MacBook Pro goes dark for a moment, but no image ever appears on the monitor.
Why does my father's machine work and not mine?
How can I get my MacBook Pro to drive this monitor? I really don't want to use the dual-link DVI adapter, it is big and ugly and expensive.
My father's machine (works):
MiniDisplayPort
OS X 10.8
Mid 2009 model MacBook Pro
My machine (doesn't work):
Thunderbolt (should be backwards compatible with MiniDP, though)
OS X 10.7
Early 2011 model MacBook Pro
Do I need to buy a different adapter for my MacBook? Or a different cable? Do I need to install drivers?
Thank you in advance for any help.
