ok no setting features in monitor display?

What settings are you trying to configure? If it's resolution, after you plug it in, just go to System Preferences-->Displays.

[iguess25]

[iguess25]

yo

I also have problems using my T220 on my new mbp 2.8
when I plug in the dvi trought my dvi-displayport adapter in my computer, it recognizes the screen, but the T220 stays black and I can't figure it out how to fix it.

I think the DVI option on the T220 isn't just compatible with apple computers?

 

[greenguy4]

any solution to this?

Okay when you connect your monitor, did you click the 'Detect Displays' button in the Displays preference pane?

Hello guys, I'm thinking to buy a T220 (to use with my mbp) but right now I'm wondering about these compatibility issues.

Did you make it works? If so how?


THANKS

I've got the T240, and a VGA adapter. (VGA, because I need my MBP to work with projectors at school, and I don'd feel like buying both DVi and VGA)

It works perfectly. I just plug it in and it starts automatically without me having to press any buttons. Make sure the you select the right source on the monitor. And if OSX is having trouble recognizing the monitor, try a reboot with the monitor attached.

Either something's wrong with your DVI port or the monitor, or you're doing something wrong.

I have a T220 which has been plugged into both my MBP and into a PC. Didn't install drivers on either, and it was just plug and play.

The Windows machine needed an automatic driver update in order for it to recognise the model of the display and to have the correct list of resolutions etc, but even without that, it worked just fine at it's native resolution.

For a TN display, it's very good, and mine has no dead/stuck pixels.
