Apple Cinema Display 30" A1083 not working

I have a old ACD 30" display and after hooking it up to my imac with DVI cable it sort of looks like this (picture). Any chance of revival of this one? This was not being used for 3 years (worked fine before)

Apple cinema display 27” shows up as 24” Hello! i bought a used 27” cinema display with Mini DisplayPort. i Connected it to my Mac mini late 2012 thunderbolt port. the display works fine but it shows up as a 24” and cant display full resolution. Only displays slightly over 1080p instead of the advertised 1440p. i’m using Mac OS catalina. Same problem on a windows computer. what could be the problem here? Should i try with an older version of Mac OS? i’m sure the display is 27” and not 24”, cant find any part number on the display but the size is 27.

Mac mini M2, problem with external display Hello, I have a problem with my external display Asus VX239. When I a using Mac, there are weird "stripes" showing up like screen sampling on old CRT TV. I tried to switch HDMI cables, use a thunderbolt to an HDMI adapter, and even replace a different monitor, but nothing changed. Honestly, I do not, if it is something wrong with the Mac mini or if it is a problem with the external monitor. Thank you in advice for help.

external monitor with iMac For several years I used an old 19” Acer monitor as a second display, attached via its VGA port to my iMac (2011 model). After I bought a iMac 2019 model, I again used the same monitor attached via its VGA port to my iMac 2019 with a lightning to VGA adapter cable. This worked well for about 2 years, but abruptly the monitor screen began to flash off then back on, not in a regular pattern but on average several times a minute. When it did so, the iMac screen was affected in a similar though not identical way, keystrokes begin to lag, and sometimes the whirling beachball starts whirling very fast. I could not find out what had gone wrong, so I disconnected the monitor and bought a new Acer LCD monitor—model K202HQL . Today I attached it via its VGA port to my iMac 2019 with a lightning to VGA adapter cable. To my dismay the exact same problem happened right away. This tells me I am doing something wrong, but what? The iMac continues to run OS 10.15 (currently 10.15.7). When the Acer is disconnected, the iMac performs well. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
