Macbook Pro + 30″ cinema display pixel anomalies

Watch and see what happens when a macbook pro and 30" cinema display are connected. Apple replaced my first set of MBP and Cinema Display, but the issue still occurred with a different MBP and different monitor. What do you think could be causing this?

i had the same problem with a 23 inch toshiba tv……. i couldn’t fix it so i bought a 23″ samsung 1080p
Oh, okay xD.
EMZ=]
You don’t need an adaptor for the MacBook Pro that he has. It has a dual link DVI port right on the side. Connects directly to the monitor.
if you have one of the old macbook pro you will have issues with video on 30″ lcds
sweet i have the same computer and moniter in the same set up but my ACD is 20″
It could be the mini dvi adapter your using?
EMZ=]
The image on my 30″ ACD has yellowed over the years, and I didn’t get Apple Care like I should have.
sell it! and get a Samsung
It has a bit of white near the bottom (reflection in apple studio) however, my screen looks great on the MBP until I record it on a video camera. I think it is because the newer ones are backlit with LED lights. I always have people comment on how vivid, bright and clear it is, but on video, it looks terrible!
yeah it has the graphics for 30 inches and what type of mac do you have
I had the same problem, after about 3-6 hours when it got hot it would start doing that. I took it into the apple store (today) and I luckily had apple care so I will get back in 1-2 weeks, good luck with yours. If anyone is looking to get the apple 30 inch, GET APPLE CARE, it is only $100 (us) and it is worth it, you never know what might happen. Plus apple care is great.
I am having the same problem too, no joke. I have the 30 inch cinema with a 2.2 MBP. I was REALLY worried when this first started happening, but I will keep researching this, but i am glad that my monitor is not defective.. or so i think…
sell it! get a dell that comes with 3 year warranty
you got to wonder y apple doesnt have a 30 inch display under the avalable accessories for the mbp
its because you dont have the Graphics to run 30″
ya what cord do i use to get the cinema to plug into the xbox????
That’s easy! You just need to switch cables from Macbook Pro to your Xbox and back again. I hope you don’t mean at the same time? One device signal per monitor! In other words, if you want what’s on your MBP on your Cinema, then dedicate its cable to that. If you want to play Xbox, then dedicate it to the Cinema only. See what I mean? Better yet, just buy another Cinema Display.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!
your notebook is suffering with the strongest backlight that i have ever seen.
Unless that screen is white in the down side.
The DVI cable may not be properly seated, or the cable may just be bad. Could also be outside interference, such as maybe a cell-phone, cordless-phone, wireless router, or television, though unlikely. Last but not least, make sure both are plugged into a good surge suppressor with line conditioning(noise filtering). My old apartment had a lot of power-line interference, which was especially prevalent on my plasma TV. A highly quality Surge Suppressor with line filtering took care of it.
how will i hook up my macbook pro and my xbox into my 23″ cinema display?
i can’t figure it out
Hmmm… Maybe I should think twice about getting a Cinema Display for my MacBook Pro.. But I still want to get one for my main desktop….. c’mon Christmas.. HURRY UP ALREADY!!!
Looks like a problem with the logic board inside the monitor, or a connection problem. Either way, it’s an expensive fix.
Not really, monitors have a minimum level and the 30incher is something like 1400by something which my MacBook cant handle, well thats what apple say
its not really the size of the screen either, just the resolution of the screen. So a macbook could do it as well, but it wouldn’t look so good!
