Apple 24 Inch LED Cinema Display Kanex XD.jpg

We always value the feedback from our customers, and we believe that Kanex customers are some of the brightest there are.  Recently, a customer had a positive review for the Kanex XD when he used it with his Apple LED cinema Display (24").  He wrote:

 

"The product worked great on the 24" Apple Cinema Display. I just bought it at Micro Center here in Dallas and it is outstanding!!"

 

You heard it straight from the customer, the XD and the Apple LED Cinema Display 24" work great together.  All you need is a system that can output a resolution of exactly 1900x1200 and an HDMI port.  Many PCs nowadays have graphics cards that have HDMI output and can reach resolutions of 1900x1200.  Combine your PC with your Kanex XD and your Apple LED Cinema Display and you are all set to display your desktop, movies, and games on Apple's beautiful 24" LED Cinema Display. 

 

We are always pleased to know that our customers are satisfied using our products and we thank you for choosing Kanex.



How To Retrieve Your Mac Information

| | Comments (0)

Sometimes companies place important information in hard to find places and when you do find it, usually it's an incomprehensible jumble of numbers and symbols. 

 

It can sometimes be difficult finding important numbers such as serial or model numbers on your electronic devices. They are hidden away somewhere or often times there are a multitude of numbers and symbols that can be difficult to decipher. Have no fear! This guide will help you find the information you are looking for.

 

This information is very helpful in getting support, determining your specific model, and viewing whether your Mac product is compatible with certain products.  Kanex refers to your Mac Order number as it refers to specific models of Mac products to determine whether or not it is compatible with our Kanex products.  Now you have an easy way to locating your Apple information.

 

 

First we need to make sense of all the information.  The following examples are taken from a MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.4 GHz purchased around Mid-2010.

About this Mac

 

You can find your serial number under the battery of your MacBook or MacBook Pro; however, there is a much easier way to acess this.  You can find your Serial Number by clicking the Apple menu at the top left of your screen and clicking "About This Mac".  Under the Mac OS X line there is a Version 10.X.X text field in gray.  Click this to access your Serial Number.
