I have an Apex ld4088 and am trying to use it with a G5 as a monitor with pro tools. What do I need to do?

It depends on what you Mac has for outputs of it has an hdmi you can connect them that way if it just has the digital monitor out you will need a monitor cable and a VGA adapter that goes on the end of the monitor cable and thin plugs into the back of the tv

I can't find the g5 as a PC or smartphone anywhere, who makes it, what is it?

The monitor does not have a USB hub that I can see. I use the ones in my computer.

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

Thanks for the info. I have installed the app, but the driver included for the GL10 doesn't install on a Windows 7 machine. Do you have a different experience?

You'll need an adapter or converter from HDMI to DVI. This monitor has HDMI and VGA ports only.

I'm a PC user, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with a Mac Pro... It's generic, so any stock drivers should handle it.

It may depend on what kind of graphics card you have. I had a ThinkPad laptop with miniDP port and I tried to connect to a DVI monitor using this device and I could not find a way to show anything on my monitor and I was using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal)2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

My G780 graphics display system is based on the Intel HD4000. It is paired to a 16x9 aspect ratio, edge-lit, LCD panel.

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

OS has norlthing to do with what type of monitor you need. You need to have the right type of connector on your video card to support it.

Negative. My newest PC I built uses the graphics onboard the i5-3330. I just plugged my monitor into the HDMI port on the motherboard.

Most devices are currently using DVI_D, and with that you should be okay. Best solution is to look at the pin holes on the device in question. Will save you a lot of time

I used it with my new Mac Mini in combination with a new PC and it worked beautifully using 3 monitors. The problem for me was that my Pro Tools audio editing software didn't like it so I had to remove it. I was very disappointed. If you would like it, let me know what a fair price might be.

You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports. The monitor only has one analog input ("VGA") and the other is the high-performance input, direct digital ("HDMI").You have:Line out video (this is called "composite video")S-video out (step above composite)Component video out (this is Red, blue, & green with sync, better than S-video).If you wish to use a PC LCD monitor for general purpose video then you'll have to spend the extra money to get one with the composite and/or component video inputs. I know one 23.6" (or is it 24"?) LG model handles this, near $300. You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports.

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!

My Mac Pro is a 2007 model, but I believe that all of the video cards from one will work with the other. So, you should have no problem. If you're adding this as an additional video card, instead of a replacement, you're going to want to put it in the top slot (your other card is already in the bottom slot). Then, connect the highest-resolution monitor to the card in the bottom slot. The bottom slot is 16 bit; the top one is 8 bit and all the others are 4 bit. There's supposed to be a performance hit when using anything but the bottom slot, but unless you're using it for video with a high-res monitor, I doubt you'll notice it.
