I am using this monitor on a MacBook Pro 2014 with Mountain Lion 10.8 and now Mavericks 10.9. It requires 2 connection cables - one for the monitor (I use the HDMI, but have also used the DVI-to-mini-display/thunderbolt (which requires an adaptor)) AND a usb for the webcam. It works great. Seems like if you have an open USB port the webcam should work.

Sure you can use this monitor with your macbook laptop. This is exactly what i have been doing for the past year with no problems whatsoever. I am also using an external keyboard and mouse.

Should be fine. I use 2 of them on a 2012 Macbook air. 2-20 inch apple cinema DVI displays.Plug and play. (well, you do have to download a driver) If you're short on USB ports get a hub.I haven't found a better solution for the price. So far excellent performance.

Like on Window's PC's, you will have to download the right drivers. It took me about 4 hours to get my new 1080p monitor to work right, had to download 3 or 4 drivers. Make sure that you go to the ViewSonic page to update all your current drivers first, the disk that it comes with does not have the updates on it. You will probably have to go to Apple to get the right Mac drivers too. It's a pain, but the monitor works awesome once you get it set up. I'm extremely pleased with mine, the side viewing is just as good as direct on viewing. One of my laptops that I have set up for this monitor only has 1GB of Ram, and it works just fine with it.

The people said "no" only knows half of the story. I am using this monitor for my early 2013 15" rmbp right now, and it works even for 2009 macbook pro (tested) at 1440p. Just need an adapter to achieve that which is ~$80 on amazon.

Thank you for your interest. This monitor works with your MBP. But the package includes DVI-D cable and HDMI cable. If you want to connect it with Thunderbolt(MiniDP), you need MiniDP to DP cable. Thank you.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

We use this monitor on 3 different devices-- a Dell Mini 10, a Macbook Pro and a PS3. We have them all connected at the same time using VGA, DVI and HDMI respectively and the image is always solid. So long as you've got one of those three outputs on your device, you're golden.

This is an older monitor. I believe it uses an industry-standard DVI connector. There is a $29 mini displayport to DVI adapter available from Apple -- but you should confirm compatibility with Apple for your specific laptop. Apple also offers a 27" Thunderbolt-connected monitor.

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

Absolutely not. I purchased this without knowing that it would not work with my Apple computer. Not only does the touch screen not work, but it you touch the monitor, it will freeze up. The only way to unfreeze it is to restart the computer. It has been a true disappointment. The features look amazing, just not for mac at this time. If anyone wants to purchase the monitor from me, I have one for sale!

As long as your iMac will support being a host monitor yes it will work just fine.

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

This monitor is best for desktop computers, but for the price, this is a great monitor to have even for a macbook. Just remember that it is an HDTV monitor hybrid, which means it comes with a remote, and has built in stereo speakers. It will function exactly like a TV (and you can hook up cable to it as well!).

I have a MacBook Air with the most up to date software and mine works perfectly. I took a chance on this display screen and I'm glad I did. Never had any problems. Also you will need a converter for the screen to plug into your laptop. My converter is a DVI to mini display port covertor which I got at radio shack because I couldn't find one at any other store where I live.
