I got a nice deal on a ACD 30" that was used, with the Apple Care until 2010. However, I have hooked the display up yesterday, and it looks great, I am not sure the resolution is set properly. I am using a Mac Book Pro, 2.2ghz, 120gb, 4gb ram,GeForce 8600M GT.
The display seems to be not at the full 2560x1600. Things look very big like running 1024x768 on a 20 inch. I have went to monitors, and set the display to 2560x1600 but I swear it's not right. I installed the Display CD, and ran software update. Thanks in advance! I got this from the System Profiler:
Cinema HD:
Display Type: LCD
Resolution: 2560 x 1600
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: On
Mirror Status: Master Mirror
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Rotation: Supported
Edit: I took two screen shots, one with the monitor being mirrored, the other with mirror turned off. How can I run the ACD as my main display and have the toolbar at the bottom etc. and it not be in mirrored mode?
First picture is resolution while being mirrored: 1436x879"ish"
