Thank you for the comments everyone! I really appreciate it. I have been swamped with work and just noticed a bunch of comments. Forgive me! :)

Gembenjamin (Ben) -- Regarding monitor hookup, I'm not at that particular computer now, but I'm almost 100% positive I used the cable supplied with the monitor. I plugged it into the DVI out port on my MacBook Pro. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a message.

Hey have you watched TV on this monitor yet? If so how is the quality in comparison to mainstream LCD's on the market?

[TheBrainchildGroup]

stonepete9 -- Pertaining to quality, watching movies/shows on this monitor is excellent. DVD's look very good and I often find myself steaming videos from Netflix. I'm sure some of the brand new LED/LCD TV's may be better, but most are $1,500+

I hope this helps. :)

how can i run my monitor with my macbook lid closed?

help please!

[TheBrainchildGroup]

SebATRandom -- To run the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and lid closed, simply put the machine to sleep and close the lid. Tap your space bar a few times and the computer will startup using the external monitor. Keep in mind you must have an external mouse and keyboard to use this function.

Hi, I want buy this monitor but I've read that is not compatible with Mac. I've a mac mini and I'ld like to connect with HDMI cable. Thanks

[Gembenjamin]

Hi,

I just got this monitor, thanks to this and some other videos.

I wanted to ask you how you have your system setup.

I have a macbook pro 2.53 ghz. I bought the mini displayport to DVI adapter and a dvi to hdmi cable. Is this the proper hardware? If so, could you please tell me what resolution, color setting etc. to choose. When I watch your vid in HD the image on the monitor looks really sharp and crisp. I would like mine to be the same.

Thanks in Advance,

Ben

Yea Im gonna buy one soon also for the macbook 2.53 ghz. and I wana know what settings you have it set up for that makes it look so crisp

[matttchapman]

Cool man....thanks for sharing.  I use spaces too.

::hug:: Lol :)

Resolution of 15" MacBook Pro is 1440x900 :)

[bl4ckedoutc0bra]

Really? That's odd. Have you noticed that smaller monitors [inch-wise] have a lower amount of pixels and resolution?

On a side note, laptops, given their energy saving features, actually use 90% less energy when compared to desktops. A laptop with an external Energy Star monitor is about as green as you can get.

Try working on a 21"+ monitor, or working in the design/animation industry, and you will see the need for a larger monitor.

[bl4ckedoutc0bra]

Actually, running the laptop closed with an energy star monitor is the same. Also, working on a 15-17" monitor [laptop] is nothing close to working on a 24"+ screen, and productivity is severely hindered.

Nice vid man. I'm looking forward to picking up this monitor.

Which mouse are you using to switch between Spaces?

Check out Adium. Its a Mac chat application that supports ALL clients including AIM, Gchat, and Yahoo.

Do not run your Macbook with the closed lid. Follow this step

1 put you Mac to sleep through the software

2 close your lid

3 then press any key on your keyboard

4 when the OS awakens open your lid

This will help your Mac run cooler.

Thanks for the comment! That's actually exactly what I do :)

I also have a Belkin laptop stand with a fan that I typically use under the laptop.
