Mac Pro and Eizo ColorEdge CG245W
Hi,
Does anyone here use the Eizo ColorEdge CE245W monitor with a Mac Pro?
I ordered the Mac Pro according to the configuration below and want to order the Eizo ColorEdge CE245W.
MAC PRO
Processor 065-9539 Two 2.40GHz Quad-Core Intel Xe
Memory 065-9551 16GB (8x2GB)
Graphics Card 065-9571 ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Hard Drive Bay1 065-9557 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
Hard Drive Bay2 065-9561 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
Hard Drive Bay3 065-9565 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
Hard Drive Bay4 065-9569 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
The CE240W monitor is fairly new and the Mac store didn't offer many different graphics cards.
Does the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB work (well) with the CE240W?
A reviewer of the CE245W on another site said:
"The CG245W has a lot going for it: internal calibration, 10-bit display (a 32-bit stream with 10 bits each for red, green and blue), a great warranty and color fidelity that finally beat my old Sony Artisan CRT.
However, getting the 10 bit data across the Displayport connection was not easy. (DVI connections are only 8 bit.) Two different Nvidia FX 3800 graphics cards wouldn't work. The new ATI FirePro 8800 did, but documentation on getting it to work was scattered across Eizo and ATI websites. Persistence paid off! A wow. Shadow detail is much better with the 10 bit connection. Until you see what this will show you it is hard to imagine the difference. Highly recommended.
