Other than size, is there any difference in a 13" MBP and a Refurb Unibody 15?
Is the resolution different? A noticeable better Color gamet? Anyone happen to have side by side pics of each?
I have an early 2011 macbook pro and I was wondering if my macbook pro's model is the black or white unibody.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere is officially no difference between Glossy and Matte displays except when they are off.
I know it is hard to understand but the color is the same!
And both displays are sharp.
Does anyone else have a glossy and regular display side by side?

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with the Nvidia 330m. Does using Mirror Displays require any less system resources (such as VRAM) than Dual Displays? I mean it shouldn't right (assuming that you use the same resolution for Mirror and Dual) because there is still content on both screens being written to the VRAM?

The graphics card is the GeForce 8600M GT 512MB.
It's important that one of them be color calibrated using my Eye One Display 2.
Is there an external peripheral that can make this work?
If it's not possible because my computer is too old - does buying one of the more recent MacBook Pro's make this possible?

I have a macbook pro with retina display, and i want to connect a monitor to the mac. When i connected the mac to the screen, the screen is on another desktop (called desktop 2) but in misson control (on the mac) there is no "desktop 2" and when i add a desktop on the mac, the screen becomes desktop 3. How can i control both displays (screen and mac) but with different windows open on different displays on the same misson control?
So basically i want to have a certain window open (eg. preview) on the screen, and at the same time run (eg. google chrome) on my mac without mirroring the 2 displays.

I'm trying to get my macbook hooked up to two external displays.I remember seeing a post about it previously, with a solution, however, I stupidly did not bookmark it. Does anyone have a solution? As you know, the Macbook only has 1 mini-dvi port.
View 9 Replies View Relatedso I love Macs but they're frustrating the hell out of me. I wanted to run dual 20" displays (portrait) and one 30" displays using a Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro. I know the new Mini should do it, but I've heard bad things about Apple's Dual Link DVI adapter. Also, I don't think there's a way for a Macbook Pro to drive a 30" Display and a 20." Am I missing something? What should I do?I'd much rather buy a Mac Mini than the Mac Pro which is way too powerful.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo here's the question. Running Lion on MacBookPro (17" with thunderbolt port) and need to connect BOTH a Mac 27" miniport display and a Mac 27" thunderbolt display. The miniport display needs to be last in the daisy chain, but not be connected to the thunderbolt display according to Apple (and they're correct - it goes black). Two possible solutions - (1) thunderbolt hub and connect both displays to that or (2) put another thunderbolt accessory in between the two displays.

I'd like to add a larger (21" - 24") external monitor to my late model 15" MBPro, but don't want to spend $999 on the Apple Thunderbolt display. What should I look for in an after market external monitor? How would I connect it to my MBPro ports?

I recently purchased Thunderbold (TB) display and 17" Macbook Pro. My TB flickers quite often and disconnects. Then I have to power off TB and reconnect. All updates are current. Dont know what the issue will be. Is there any utility to check the condition of TB. I did not connect any peripherals to TB except the Macbnook Pro.

I purchased the Toshiba Dynadock U3 - which ran well with Win 7- hoping there would be drivers for the Mac OS. Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this configuration? If not, then what is the next best configuration where I do not have to keep connecting and disconnecting wires fron my MBA. Just want to connect one wire (e.g. - USB cable) that that's it. Is this wishful thinking?

I would like to run two displays, an older 20" Cinema Display with DVI and a 27" Apple Display with mini-Display port to the new 15" Macbook Pro Retina. I realize that the mini-Display can go to one of the Thunderbolt ports so what what do I need for the DVI display?

I keep seeing articles since yesterday stating that the new MBP retina display supports 3 external monitors and the new Macbook Air supports two (through just one ThB port?) but how come no one says anything about the new regular MBP's support? If the Air supports two isn't the regular MBP also supposed to be able to work with two external monitors?

My mac will not automatically detect displays, and even sometimes requires a restart. I've reset SMC, PRAM, repaired permissions, and cleared the caches.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to get the following:
1. miniDP -> DVI
2. DVI -> VGA
3. DVI -> HDMI
and connect different displays. Or will there be troubles because of the double converters (first to DVI and then to VGA or HDMI).
I just plugged in my Cinema Display to my MBP for the first time, and for a while couldn't figure out why the heck the computer wasn't recognizing it (though maybe I'd gotten a bad MDP/DVI adaptor).
Then I'd noticed I'd set it via gfxCardStatus to use Intel graphics only. I released it to Dynamic -- and voila! Display recognized. Interestingly, it now also will not accept being set back to Intel only with the monitor connected.
If I am reading a page, for example, and I do not touch the mouse or the keyboard, the display turns off after approximately two minutes no matter what the setting is for the power savings feature.

How many external displays dose the Retina MBP support? I have herd conflicting information about this, an apple store employee told me that it could support 2 thunderbolt displays while simultaneously running a HDMI connected display (witch would be awesome if true) but I am extremely skeptical, that seems like to much for one GPU.

I just received the 15" MacBook Pro with enhanced resolution screen (not the Retina display). At the highest resolution, all of the fonts display incredibily small. However, the lower resolution options don't seem to match the aspect ratio of the screen and create distortion. I can deal with this on Safari because it allows pinch and zoom resizing. However, I have not figured out how to zoom in on the Mail app. Using Command + is not a good solution because it actually increases the font size that the recipient views. I have to go all the to 30pt font to make it comfortable to view. Also, using Control and two finger swipe to zoom in a poor option as well because not everything will display.

My MacBook Pro will begin to boot when the screen suddenly becomes distorted by an alternately patterned gray screen. I have performed 2 safeboots and after them, it seems to work fine for just a few (3,4) boots after that. One time when it booted successfully, the screen's background light began to flash very quickly until the screen was distorted again like in the beginning.
I've tried cleaning the PRAM and the NVRAM also but it did not fix the problem.

What do you expect of the next generation of MBP's?I think no optical drive is a given, at least for the sub 17" models. I'm more curious if they will ditch the drive bay like they did with the MBA's. I think the next generation of MBPs will have IPS displays with black frames, built-in SSD, very long battery life and strong specs. Imagine a 13" MBP without a drive bay and optical drive could have room for more battery and discrete graphics card, and probably even be thinner than the current crop.
