Apple Cinema 30 - Looking for Windows driver for this monitor

Hi Everyone,

I just purchase Apple Cinema 30 inch for my Windows XP workstation. I just couldn't find driver for my monitor. Does Apple make this monitor driver for Windows XP?

Thank you for your help.

I can not say thank-you enough for posting the link to WinACD. I stumbled across this message by accident - never knowing such a thing existed.

My A1081 20" cinema display had these issues - I thought it'd be one of those issues I'd have to put up with for the benefit of using this lovely display with my PC. WinACD solved the problems perfectly.

Apple don't make the drivers, you vid card maker does.

Having said that, do you really think APPLE would make a driver for Windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mys4,

It "should" be plug&play... you should just be able to plug it in and use it as long as your video card will support it.

JeremyP,

Yes, you are right about that. My Apple monitor work fine with the plug&play driver, but with the correct driver I could get the full capability out of the monitor.
