CONNECTING YOUR PC OR MACINTOSH COMPUTER
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your Cinema Screen monitor will enable you to display computer images on the monitor. The Cinema Screen monitor supports the signals described on page 48.
If you are connecting a computer to the monitor, you must attach the ferrite cores to both ends of the DVI cable to meet FCC standards (see page 6). To connect to a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter:
1.Turn off the power to your monitor and computer.
2.If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/XGA/ SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.
3.The Cinema Screen monitor provides signal compatibility with VESA 128021024@60MHz (SXGA). However, we recommend not using this resolution due to image readability on the monitor’s 853 X 480 native pixel resolution panel.
4.Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the Cinema Screen monitor. For Macintosh, you will need a monitor adapter (not supplied) to connect to your computer’s video port.
5.Turn on the monitor and the computer.
6.If the Cinema Screen monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the monitor.
When using a Macintosh with the Cinema Screen monitor, the following three display standards are supported using the included Macintosh adapter : 13" fixed mode, 16" fixed mode, and 19" fixed mode. The 13" fixed mode is recommended for the Cinema Screen monitor.
