IMac :: How To Keep Display Sleeping While Keeping External Display Active?

Jan 23, 2008

Just wondering if anyone could help me figure this out.

I have my 40" flat screen plugged into my imac via VGA cable to mirror the image.

I'm just trying to have the imac display sleep while I play a movie full screen through the external TV.

I've tried two different ways but both have failed.

1-I set up a hot corner in the imac to sleep display but this results in both the display and the TV sleeping.

2-I just set the power settings to sleep after 1 minute. This works but then If a movie is playing the computer won't go to sleep.

Hardware :: Disable IMac Display/use External Display Only?

Jan 13, 2010

I just purchased a 23" monitor to replace my iMacs 17" display (since it has a nasty crack in one of the corners). I hooked it up fine and all, but the displays are linked, allowing me to hover the mouse to the iMac's display which I find annoying most of the time.

Is there a way to make the iMac display zone out and just use the external by itself?

MacBook Pro :: External Display - Samsung 27' Syncmaster SA550 Monitor Won't Connect To It?

May 2, 2012

I Late 2008 Macbook Pro. My needs have shifted lately, as I am now using it mostly with an external display. I ran it into my 23(?) LG 1080 LED monitor with no problem. I recently bought a Samsung 27' Syncmaster SA550 monitor. I am in love with it, however I cannot find a display size that fits the monitor. I am currently running the 1080p resolution setting on my computer but it is easily 2-3 inches too small. And with overscan its too big to see my menu bar and dock at all. Running at a 24-25' screen size is still much better than my 15 inch macbook pro screen, but it would be awesome to use all of the 27 inches of this monitor. I have been unable to find a working setting, if there is a trick, or a way to setup a custom size As well I am running this as the sole display (not dual screens)

Info:
MacBook
Pro, iOS 5.1, External Display: Samsung SA550

MacBook Pro :: How To Connect Two External Displays That Are Not Mirrored And Turn Off Retina Display

Dec 9, 2014

I have two questions:

1.  Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?

2.  Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?

I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.

IMac :: Turn Off The Display When Using An External Display?

Nov 10, 2009

I'm interested in the new iMac but could not work with a glossy display. Can anyone share their experiences of using the iMac with an external display? In one respect it seems like a waste to have two monitors but the base model costs little more than the maxed out Mini and seems like the better option.

I would be interested in seeing photos of any setups featuring the iMac and an external display.

Also, is there a way to turn off the iMac display when using an external display?

IMac :: Display Mode - Connect Win7 PC Tower To 27"

Apr 19, 2010

Basically I want to connect my Win7 PC tower to my 27" iMac. After doing some research, is it true that only the ATI 4890 and ATI 5970 are the only video cards that have worked in the past? The newer 5870 Eyefinity 6 just got released and seems to be a bit cheaper than the 5970, seems to be untested still. Has anyone got this to work with the cheaper ATI cards with displayport? I don't want to spend more than $600 for this new venture.

Hi this is my first time doing this, but I want to connect my iMac to my LCD TV via HDMI, but my computer only has a mini dvi port on the back. What cables do I need and is my iMac capable of outputting to 1080p?

I have the baseline late 2006 iMac (5,1) with ati x1600 card and my current display resolution is 1440x900.

Will I have to have both monitors on or can I just have the LCD TV be on and the iMac built in monitor be off?

MacBook Pro :: Using 24 Inch IMac As An External Display?

Jan 5, 2011

I have a 24-inch iMac that is ripe for replacement; my wife barely uses a 2010 15" MacBook Pro.

In 2011 I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air for her and I take the MBP.

-I would buy a 27-inch display for the MBP;

-ideally she could use the 24-inch as external display for the MacBook Air

-or, alternatively, I would use the 24-inch as external display for the MBP

Would any of these solutions work?
