let's do the full install and hope that it doesn't overwrite my current drivers'. As of this writing, nothing but that exists to control the Thunderbolt Display brightness on a non-apple computer.

Well, come to find out you need to install Apple Boot Camp 5 in order to get the display brightness controls to work-and no, you can't just install the individual drivers it needs the bootcamp control panel, which is only installed properly if you do the full Boot Camp 5 install. Intel Display control panel didn't have any brightness settings.Īpple Boot Camp 5.x display drivers by themselves didn't do shit if installed - more on this below.

Of course all the usual suspects didn't work:īrightness function keys on the Apple wireless keyboard (yes that works fine on a PC too) knew things were going too good.' So, thinking back at my, nothing but grief, history with the Thunderbolt Display, I'm not too optimistic on finding a solution. It's almost impossible to use it at this brightness level especially at dark.

Now after coming off my relief and excitement, I now notice a GLARING problem: the display is extremely bright. So I plug in the Apple Thunderbolt Display, and 'BOOM it works! Awesome!'. So not having to worry about dual-display, or having to use my ATI card for any 3D or Video production intensive tasks, the integrated Intel HD 4000 display is good enough for my current needs. at least I still have the Apple Thunderbolt Display'.

Just today, as I'm extremely swamped with projects, and BOOM, the iMac completely died, the screen turned off and the internal fans went full blast, shooting dust and black crap out it never heard the fan anywhere near that loud (but I did read a while back that people experienced this when they tried replacing their HDD and the internal temperature sensor wasn't reconnected properly-on my the HDD went bad about a month ago, making OS X useless (took like 10 min to boot) but I didn't mind since I was only using it as a monitor. I've been obsessed with computers since the Amiga and Commodore 64 days before most people thought of computers as something that only nerdy people use-that is before 'nerdy' or 'geeky' was considered a positive attribute. And, if you're wondering, yes I primarily use Windows, but have no problems using Apple OS X. This was the initial studio setup about 3 years ago. I love modern/minimilast/industrial, or whatever you want to call this, style. Because if nothing else, Apple has my kind of taste when it comes to appearances. Long story short, I ended up using my 27-in iMac as a primary monitor, and had the Apple Thunderbolt Display sitting on my desk for 2 years, doing nothing but looking sweet. Had to unplug that and only use the iMac display port connection connected to the ATI Radeon HD 7979. Trying to see the BIOS (post screen) was non-existent with the Thunderbolt display.

LucidLogix Virtu MVP Software was buggy and unstable. I had nothing but problems trying to get the Apple Thunderbolt Display to work alongside my ATI Radeon HD 7970 and the iMac (display port LED monitor). Maybe it still is terrible still, but I got some good news after all this time. Thunderbolt support on non-Apple computers was TERRIBLE back then. A couple of years ago I purchased a Thunderbolt capable motherboard ( Gigabyte GA-z77X-UP5), and an Apple's 27-in Thunderbolt Display-rather than it's (now-discontinued) Apple LED Cinema display-to go along with my Apple iMac 2010 (as a dual-display setup) which I was primarily using as an LED monitor for my Windows 7/8 PC.
