I can see the screen during POST and in the BIOS setup. I use the Atlona AT-DP400 to convert from DVI to mDP, and it works great on my GTX260. The only connectivity option is one miniDisplayPort connector. The brushed aluminum design is sturdy and I'd say it looks much more attractive than DELL's black plastic look. There is no adjustable stand, but to me the default height is very comfortable. Next I'll make a few comments on the actual functionality of the display. I'm no video expert and I'm just using the display for casual movies and gaming, but to me the color is fine and doesn't look any different than my U3011. AnandTech also criticized the monitor for having a subpar color gamut due to using a white LED backlight versus CCFL. I have also read complaints on poor color uniformity and a yellow tint plaguing many iMac 27' and ACD27' screens. I was watching some dark scenes from the 'Collateral' Blu-Ray Disc and it looked GREAT with no reflections when sitting a couple feet back. The white LED backlight from the ACD27' is NOT bright enough to create any noticeable reflections from my face, unless I stick my head about a foot in front of the screen and really search for my own reflection. I only have one window with shades, and there is no other ambient light. That being said, I have it set up in a fairly dark room. If you're looking to use this screen in a well lit room such as an office environment, I wouldn't recommend this monitor as it will have quite a bit of glare and I imagine you will be doing a ton of shadow boxing. The other major complaint I've heard about the ACD27' is the glossy screen. I set it to around 65% and it looks gorgeous. The lowest setting is very dim, and the highest setting is brighter than an atomic bomb.

I've heard reports that on a PC you can't really control the entire brightness range, but every notch on the brightness slider bar does in fact work for me. If I launch the Apple Control Panel utility I can adjust the brightness from 0-100%. Simply open the file in WinRAR and extract and launch: AppleControlPanel.exe).

(Update: To adjust brightness, simply download 'Boot Camp Software Update 3.3 for Windows' from. The mic, USB 2.0 ports, ambient light sensor, iSight camera, speakers, and microphone all work great. Connected the mDP and USB cables on the ACD27' to my PC and everything worked.

Well, I hate to break this to Apple cultists whom really want to believe that the mighty Mac is the only option for using the ACD27', but it works on my PC with full functionality. Eric Franklin CNET says it's incompatible with PCs, AnandTech docked it for having no brightness control on PCs, and I've seen user comments on the Apple store forum claiming it doesn't work on PCs. Well, I got my Apple LED Cinema Display 27' last night! I thought I'd do a quick write-up of my experience with the new ACD27' versus the DELL U3011 which I recently returned due to its aggressive AG coating.įirst off the bat, I've seen numerous comments that Steve Jobs hexed the ACD27' with Apple voodoo mojo and made the display compatible with MACS ONLY.
