I have a macbook pro 2011 and I am looking to get this monitor to hook up to it.I primarily want it to do photo editing on photoshop or lightroom.

I use this monitor for color science research and color graphics work where color accuracy is important. There are several color spaces that you can select for color display. For digital photo editing you'll want to set the monitor menu to the sRGB setting, maximize brightness, and then create a color profile using a calibrator for the most accurate color. (Whether or not you can skip creating a color profile, and simply rely on the monitor's preprogrammed calibration, depends on how critical you are about color.) There is also an AdobeRGB setting in the monitor menu, but don't use that unless you really know what your doing! In "standard" display mode you get an exceptionally wide color gamut for display, much wider than AdobeRGB, but special software is necessary to use that mode properly. To some extent you are paying for the ability to display an extra wide range of colors that you can't actually use because digital cameras and PC/Mac software always assume sRGB color space by default. But if you want a nice bright display, with a very stable and adjustable stand, then the extra expense is worth it. Also, this monitor comes with just about every kind of video cable that is in general use today, a nice feature.

If you're looking for a professional editing monitor look now further it has amazing color and has been calibrated for true color. I personally use it for gaming and have little issues the text ghosting that has been mentioned in the other responses does happen though looks like words are wiggling around every once in a while. Made the purchase and am not disappointed

I love this monitor! The color is amazing, the sharpness almost hurts it's so sharp. I will say you'll want to have it at least 3 feet away. It's super bright too. I'm looking to get another for our other production box. I too am a photographer/videographer. I highly recommend this monitor.

I could not find anything with the model numbers provided, but as long as your Mac uses a Mini DisplayPort and you're trying to connect it to a device with a VGA cable the connection will work.

Hi Thank you for your interest. But I'm sorry we can not guarantee the compatibility with Mac. And NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 is too low specs to run QHD resolutions. Thanks.

This is the professional version of the Mac. It connects to a separate monitor bought independently. It is used for demanding applications like video editing or running many simultaneous programs, perhaps in both Mac and a Windows, which is what I use it for.

The main issue is that your Mac has DVI-D port or proper DVI-Dual link gender.By the Nvidia specification, GTX285 support 2560*1660 Resolution.http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285/specificationsMac OS X is little bit different from Windows OS.So I suggest you find more information before buying this kind of bypass monitor.Otherwise, I just want to suggest Multi port monitor. (RGB, DVI-D, HDMI and DP port)Cheers!

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). http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB571Z-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B001IF252C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406122665&sr=8-1&keywords=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.

Well, the best way to do it would be the digital way. Doing that is about the same price and you can get a much higher quality of image if you do it that way. What is the model of your Mac?If you have an HDMI port, get this ONLY - AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters)If you don't have an HDMI port and only a Mini DisplayPort connector, get this.- Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DVI Cable in White 6 FeetIf you have a DVI connector, get this.- C2G / Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D M/M Dual Link Digital Video Cable, Black(2 Meter/6.56 Feet)I hope this helped.

I have had this monitor since the beginning of August. I have it connected to a Mac-book Pro. Thunderbolt to Display-port. I would rate this a 5 star monitor. I use it for editing video (I am an amateur). I have no issue with the aspect ratio. I usually have my laptop screen closed.

Yup the ultra studio works perfect for that... But just remember u need a thunderbolt port in your mac!

The small end will plug into a macbook pro., but if your monitor does not support displayport, you may have to get a cable with a dvi connector at the other end

False. There is a known incompatibility with this monitor and the newer Mac OS on desktop. A driver or third party solution is what I'm inquiring about.

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.

On Windows, go by the manual for the monitor. You need the one USB connection if you want touchscreen; the other two USB ports become essentially a two-port USB hub available for whatever else you want to plug in to it.I don't know about MacBook(s).Jim

the monitor comes with dvi and vga cables. However, you will need to buy a mini-HDMI adaptor for one of those two cable heads to use it with a macbook
