OS X :: How To Connect Two Monitors To MacBook Pro
Dec 30, 2009
I do a lot of editing in Final Cut Pro and I was wondering what is the best way to connect two monitors to my Macbook pro (Intel early 2008 non-unibody). How could I make each monitor it's individual monitor and not just stretch it to two. Ultimately, I would like to work with three monitors, two externals and the LCD monitor thats on the MCP.
setup: i have a dual 2.26 GHz quad core xeon mac pro with 2 nvidia geforce GT120 graphic cards. i need to connect 2 displays dell 2407 wfp and one LG TV as a third monitor (which also is connected as a video monitor via a blackmagic intensity pro). question: on which port (DVI, mini display) of which graphics card (lower, upper slot) should i connect my 3 displays?
I'm wondering if it's possible to connect the new iMac 27" to more than one external monitors, like 3. Is it possible? or is it just limited to the Mac Pro?
I have a new mac mini I bought last week. I've got a mini DVI to DVI connected to a DVI to VGA adapter. I've tried to use 3 CRT VGA monitors but to no avail.
I have a G5 with an Nvidia 7800GT graphics card. what are my options if i need to have 3 monitors running at the same time (currently I can only have 2).
I have recently been in the market for sudio monitors for my Mac. I've narrowed it down to the Yamaha HS5. Ideally, I would have to of them. I would like to know how they would connect to my iMac since I've never dealt with studio monitors before. Would I need a quarter-inch jack? Would I need adapters?
I was looking at getting the 24" Imac, however when I was at best buy this morning, I noticed there were no monitor connections to the iMac. I currently have a pc with 2 monitors. Is there any way I could connect the 2 monitors through USB connections to the imac? Does iMac even support extra monitors?
I own 2 Dell 20" monitors (2007FP, 1600x1200) and one 30" (U3011, 2560x1600). Currently using a Windows 7 powered desktop machine with 2 Videocards to run this setup. My question is, can I connect the 30" and at least one of the 20" monitors to a Macbook pro? The 20" monitors support VGA and DVI, the 30" also does DisplayPort.Â
I use my MBP 09 unibody closed and attached to a large monitor 90% of the time. I'm finally changing up my entire setup because the HD TV screen I have been using to do work is hurting my eyes. I'm tryin to have a baller setup but it seems unlikely this is possible...
If I buy 2 LCD monitors (two LED apples are too expensive for me right now), can I get them both rigged up to my closed MBP, mirrored but at the same time duel separate function display? There must be some kind of adapter that allows you to run that.
Ideally I would have my left over HDTV on another desk to the left of the duel monitors as a 3rd one that I could use as a preview monitor for video and design. and/or just use it as a 3rd desktop space where I could say, show a client or friend a sample of finished work full screen, or put on a movie or run Itunes visualizer and music, all while I am using the main duel LCD computer displays to do work.
I know you can get the DVI external dongle but I am wondering if you could hook up two external monitors to the MBA. If anyone has tried this please post with pictures or video.
I currently use a Vista desktop with two 22" LCD monitors. Is there any solution out there that will let me use both of these external monitors with a new MBP? Ideal config would have the MBP in the middle with a 22" LCD on each side of the laptop. would like the dock/title bar on the laptop and be able to move windows over to each of the monitors.
Is it possible to run two monitors independently via a hardware device with the macbook air? I would like to do it with a device that works well but doesn't cost a fortune.
I have the MacBook with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. I want to hookup two monitors. I know I have to buy the triplehead2go or the dualhead2go. But does anyone know if it supports 2x 1920x1200 resolution with mini DVI? The mac mini with the same graphics card but with mini display port does support it.
I'm on a Macbook Black running 10.5 (soon to be 10.6!), and currently have an external monitor hooked up via a Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. I'm trying to figure out an option for getting an second external up and running. (I do pdf-intensive research, and, well, you know how that goes. I'd hook up 25 monitors if I could--but I'm just setting my sights on a third screen for the time being!) I've done my homework with the search function, but the advice has been conflicting--some threads have made it sound like it can't be done; some others have said a product like DualHead2Go works. And a lot of threads are just plain over my head.
I have the 2010 MBP 13" and I understand it can utilize two monitors. Could this situation be possible, for using it as a HTPC;
1) Have my 'TV' screen hooked up via DVI for movies off the external HD AND 2) Have my 'External Monitor' hooked up via DVI/HDMI for everyday computer use?
My TV isn't that close to my MBP, so I can get an extended DVI cable for it.
hooking up three external monitors to my macbook pro (mid 2010).
The only serious (not homemade) solution is the Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition, but this solution only gives me a max resolution of 4080x768 (3x 1360x768).
Unfortunately I dont believe that would be enough to satisfy me needs.Â
tl;dr:Â
Need to hook 3 monitors up to my macbook pro (mid 2010), whats the best solution?
I've got a Macbook Pro and need to add an additional monitor. Now, this may be a dumb question and I apologize beforehand but, do all monitors work fine on the Mac? I've seen loads (on Amazon for example) which only state PC. Is this the case or will they still work?
Has anyone tried to have dual monitors connected to their Macbook? I found this splitter online: http://sewelldirect.com/dvi-to-2-vga-splitter-cable.asp I want to hook two 24'' monitors up, I know you'll need the Mini-DVI to DVI converter as well just wondering if there are any issues known beforehand?
I have 1 simple question. What is the best way to get a total of 3 screens with my MBP? I currently have dual screen with mini-display monitor and the laptop screen. I would like to have 2 24" monitors + the laptop screen for a total of 3 monitors. I know I can run 1 of the monitors through miniDP, but what about the other monitor? I have herd of those USB video cards that allow you to connect another monitor? Any advice? I want this to be "cost efficient" so nothing more that about 50$ if possible.
hey guys i am running duals right now i was wondering if it was possible to use 2 external monitors? what would that entail me getting? a dvi splitter?
