Sue, how are you liking your new monitor? I'm in the market and I'm trying to get some ideas. So many choices!!
I really like the screen. I've now become very used to the extra screen real estate (to the point now where I wonder if i possibly *should* have got 27" after all). I've also reverted to using AdobeRGB instead of sRGB, I can convert to sRGB in post if needed for the web but for getting the colours nearly right for printing, its AdobeRGB for the moment until I get a calibrator. The on screen calibrator is pretty good though, in the meantime.
As far as setup goes, I have a VGA cable laying about (but attached) to which I can attach the netbook if I am of a mood to play in Windows or Ubuntu - currently dual booting those - I'm using DVI with the Macbook Pro, and have speakers attached to the output there because at the moment my adapter doesnt pass sound from the mini displayport (which is also a Thunderbolt port). There's an adapter which will do that, Griffin, I think, and I'll acquire that shortly because yesterday I decided to get a Dell soundbar which draws power via the screen. I have WAY too much plugged in here. The bigger speakers arent really needed, I almost never have sound on, so the cheapie soundbar will do. I have my Mobee magic mouse charger attached to the Dell's USB hub, as is my cable for the iphone, and my keyboard. I'm planning to attach my Targus 7 port hub there also, and revert to having only one HD attached to the airport base station for media streaming via a jailbroken AppleTV to my TV in the loungeroom.
Back to the screen itself. I love it. Not a lot more to be saying, really
Sue I'd love to know more about how your connected it into your machine using the various adapters.
Joe.
See above for my rambling description!! I probably need to make a diagram because I am about to change everything.
