Is this a good choice to use as a second monitor for a 13" retina mac book pro? I will be making photographic prints.

I am using it as a monitor for my Macbook Pro and love it so far. The size is great and it is super sharp. Hooks up easily with one HDMI cable (not included). I don't use it for photos in particular so I cannot comment about that.

It is a great choice compared to its screen size. Just remember IS NOT 4K display, just 1080.

I use it as a main monitor but it would be very good as a second monitor for a laptop. Very good display for photos and videos.

It is good, but I prefer my Samsung Hub HD wireless monitor. The best investment I ever made.

This screen is perfect for anything media related. I edit videos in After Effects on this screen because it is so wide, you can see everything without having to move your interface around. Its perfect for my Mac, I'm sure it will be perfect for yours!

We use this to extend the display of a MacBook Air over it's Thunderbolt port, using a minidisplay cable. Works great, and looks gorgeous. Monitor does jiggle ever so slightly when the table it is on is bumped, but otherwise looks great to me. However, the user is not a graphic artist, and it is not used for the purposes of color matching WYSIWYG, so I cannot speak to that. If by second monitor, you mean you already have another attached, I cannot say, as we only have the one monitor, connected to the one laptop.

Nope. It's a great monitor, I have three of them, one in each workingplace. Make sure you take advantage of the huge resolution, it's awesome. Never by an HP printer or PC, but this monitor is fantastic.

I guess it all depends on how good of a resolution you are looking for. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it if you are to do a lot of photo or video editing, but it is in general a good and cheap touch screen monitor.

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

The primary selling point for this monitor is the factory calibrated Adobe RGB option. Having used the monitor daily for over a year now in a professional setting I can attest to its viability for print work.

It is. If you own a Retina MBP, you will be disappointed by the quality of the resolution; but, it is nice to have a bigger screen.

Yes, I have it hooked up to 3 different computers one of which is a MacBook Pro with Retina. The picture quality is excellent on this monitor. You have to make sure to adjust your resolution if you plan to use it full screen vs. split with diff inputs. The connectivity options make this monitor really stand out. Back to the MacBook I would not hesitate to use this monitor with it.

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

YES! I run my mac book pro with Mini DisplayPort out (mini DisplayPort works in the Thunderbolt jack) to the dual link converter from Apple. It works great and I get full resolution. You will need this adapter and a dual link DVI cable (I think the Crossover monitor comes with the DVI cable). Apple Mini MB571Z/A DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter There is also a less expensive adapter version from Monoprice that should work but I have not tested on my Mac.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

The stand is pretty thick plastic, and I don't see it breaking without some serious knocks to it. If you are worried, I would consider looking at HP's line of monitors that mimic Apple's displays with the solid metal bases. That said, I am a photographer that does on-location shooting, and while I have yet to bring this monitor with me, I have no doubts that it will do just fine!

I am currently using a 22" monitor and a 13" monitor in addition to a laptop. I have the 22 raised so the bottom of it sits slightly higher than my printer which gives me room for my 17" laptop in front of it and the 13" just to the right. There is plenty of room if you get creative in the configuration. I like this because I look straight ahead and the 22" is at eye level while seated.

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

It's actually very good. I use it with a new MacBook Pro and it's nearly the same as the laptop monitor.

You can use the cintiq as your primary monitor (well primary in the sense that its the one you will be drawing on) then use your normal monitor to view reference photos. I do it all the time :)

Hello! I am a graphic designer and I did a TON of research on which monitor is best for color accuracy etc. This is a great monitor. I would use this and another cheaper monitor I got from costco. The viewsonic would show contrast that the other was not capable of. (ie. subtle patterns and lighter colors). I did not calibrate it with any type of device, but I can say the colors were great, extremely crisp and clear. As a graphic designer, and somewhat obsessive about technology, I was very satisfied with my purchase. Mainly I did UI design for iphones on this monitor which require accurate color representation. Hope this helped. Hello! I am a graphic designer and I did a TON of research on which monitor is best for color accuracy etc. This is a great monitor.

As a life long Apple user I'd be the first to tell you if it was worth it for the Apple display, but it's not, not when this screen is $300. This screen would be amazing if it was $600, thats how beautiful it is. Don't get any ideas Asus. Seriously though, don't get the Apple Display. If you buy this screen I personally promise that by the end of month one, you'll love it just as much as the computer you use it with. if you're a gamer I would pass on this display, but for everything else this is what you need. I'm looking at it right now (it's hooked up to my PS4) and i'm smiling. Thats how happy this amazing screen makes me, but to answer your question, it's works perfect with the macbook pro.
