2 monitors from MBP?

Is there any way to run 2 external monitors from a single Macbook Pro with the unit closed? (so the external 2 monitors would be the only 2 monitors on)
Thanks

Hi Justin,
the Matrox Dualhead http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/ seems to be capable of doing this http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/faq/#3

  • Running 2 monitors from MBP

    Sorry if this has come up before--I'm not very good at searches but I did have a go at it.
    I want to run 2 relatively new Samsung 23" monitors from my MBP with the internal monitor off. How easy/hard is this going to be? What parts will I need?
    Thanks

  • No 1920x1080 output to external monitor from MBP 2011 OSX 10.6.8

    Hi, I have a MBP 2011 running OSX 10.6.8.
    I have recently purchased an Asus ML249H Monitor and the Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 10 ft (3 m) MDPHD10FT.
    The monitor should display at 1920x1080 natively but does not. The MBP max output resolution is 1600x900 on this screen. Is this a known issue with the MDPHD10FT cable or is it OSX? What it the work around to get 1920x1080.
    Thanks

    i had to go into iCal Preferences and delete my account and then put it back in.  Everything is working fine, now.

  • How to display 2560x1080 on external monitor from MBP or MBA?

    Is there any way to make MBP 17 (Intel HD and nVidia GT graphics, SnowLeo) or MBA 13 (Mountain Lion) display 2560x1080 on external monitor (LG 29" ultrawide)? My MacPro with RadeonX1900 card (10.5.8) does it perfectly but I cannot find a way to get the laptops to do it. Tried res. switching apps, still no good. Thanks.

    It worked perfect for me. Maybe settings should be different for your laptops. In my case I'm using a MBP 15" with a GeForce 330M.
    The monitor I have is the LG 29EA93 (21:9) @ 2560 x 1080.
    Make sure you have exactly same values in Switch Res X. Special attention to "Scan rate".
    You can see in the capture below that it's working
    and, just in case, here you have the settings that worked for me
    It might be also different for each video card...

  • Multiple monitors from MBP

    I have just bought a new monitor for my MBP running through the DVIX slot to hdmi, if I wanted to buy another monitor and have that hooked up aswell do I need to get a splitter or something or is it just software that would do it and if so what socket would I plug it into? I've heard of displaylink and matrox just searching this topic.
    I'm running a 17" MBP 2.4 IC2D 4GB ram, with the GeForce 8600MGT graphics card. Thanks in advance.

    Depends on what you mean by multiple monitors. You can use a splitter for mirroring (showing the same thing on both external displays). But, if you want to span (i.e. extend the desktop across both displays) then you need additional hardware.

  • I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

    Hall Palm Desert,
    if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

  • Can I run an HDMI monitor from the Firewire port of my MBP?

    This may be a strange one
    I am running a late 2011 17" MBP running Mavericks (latest version as of July 2014).
    Currently I have a 4TB external thunderbolt drive attached. There is no thru port.
    My challenge is, I want to connect an external HDMI monitor, but this MBP only has the one Thunderbolt port, being used by the external drive.
    My hope is, that somehow, I might be able to MacGyver  something using the Firewire port since I cannot afford another monitor with a TB through at the moment....Technically the cabling would be possible, albeit a bit freakish.
    Something like:
    Firewire cable out from MBP, plugged into a FW to Thunderbolt converter, thunderbolt converter tip plugged into a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI converter box (like the Monoprice  MMP-MDP2H01), then from there to the HDMI monitor.
    Would the MBP detect the monitor and route the video signal through the FW port accordingly?
    Looking forward to some expert advice and any zany workaround suggestions you all might have!
    Respect.

    The MDP to HDMI will work fine.

  • I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
    By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

  • Run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012)?

    I'm looking to run two monitors from my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012). I don't want to use the actual laptop screen in this setup, I just want to use the two external monitors.
    My 15-inch MacBook Pro (Non-retina, mid 2012) has the following ports on the side:
    FireWire 800 port (up to 800 Mbps)
    Two USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps)
    Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)
    I currently use the Thunderbolt port to one external monitor.
    My question is: Is it better to run the second monitor via USB 3, or FireWire (if that's even possible)? What would you recommend?

    Good and simple way to get two monitors from one Thunderbolt port.

  • Can't sign in on external monitor with MBP after Yosemite upgrade

    After Yosemite upgrade, when I turn on my MBP, I can't sign in using external monitor with MBP, always could before Yosemite.  Blurred image of my wallpaper shows on monitor, can move arrow on external screen but sign-in only shows up on my computer screen, with no arrow.  Since there is no arrow on the computer screen, and no sign in box on the external monitor, I have to unplug the external video to sign in on the computer, then plug in the monitor again.  Any ideas?

    NOWEK,
    Thanks for this suggestion, but so far no joy. I have zapped the PRAM, jammed the Frabitz and smashed the Gafrogsnicker, all to no avail. When the MBP restarts I get a blurred image (extreme "vibrancy") on the external monitor, but no images of the login accounts to choose from or the other options. However, on the MBP screen I get all that. The keyboard and mouse respond, but just doesn't display on the external monitor. This is of interest to me because I have the MBP down in a credenza with other related gear and the external monitor and keyboard up on my desk. It's true I don't have to do this often, but still, it just started this aggravation with Yosemite. Thanks for trying to help.

  • If I put my 7300 in slot4 at 8x, and a 8800GT at slot1, 16x, could I boot 10.4.11 on my mac pro 1,1 if I unplug the monitor from the 8800GT?

    If I put my 7300 in slot4 at 8x, and a 8800GT at slot1, 16x, could I boot 10.4.11 on my mac pro 1,1 if I unplug the monitor from the 8800GT?
    I have different os's installed on my different hard drives. I'm using 10.6.8 now, but I go back to 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 on accasion. Can I run 10.4.11 with the 7300 in the 8x lane? As long as I unplug the 8800GT but leave it installed in the 16x slot1? And attach a monitor to the 7300?
    What about using the 7300 to run extra monitors or a monitor while running 10.5.8 and 10.6.8?  Is that a problem? I have 10GB Ram and the 1,1 original machine.

    I know the 8800 requires 10.5.2, but if it is installed (at 16x) but no monitor is connected, will it allow the 7300 to control one or two monitors in 10.4.11? When the 7300 is in the 8x lane? And will it boot?
    I lost part of your train of thought. Are you telling me to get just an ATI 5770 to continue using this machine into the future? 
    I thought the original mac pro 1,1 needed cards of the same manufacturer. If I use the 5770, that eliminates the ability to boot 10.4.11, correct?
    What if I keep the 7300 handy in a box and put it in when I have to use 10.4.11? ( select the start up disc, shut down, change the card, restart) Does the 5770 require a power cable to another board that I might damage with repeated changes?

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • I have a dvr and I want to monitor from my phone.  this worked when I had a Belkin router that let me open ports.  I use "canyouseeme" and it can't see 80, 9000 or 1025. How do I make them available?

    I have a Lorex DVR that I want to monitor from my IPhone and IPad.  I used to be able to do this when I had a Belkin router (easy to open ports) but I bought the AirPort Extreme router and no longer have that capability.  When I use "canyouseeme" they can NOT see 80, 9000 or 1025.  Lorex says I need them all available in order to access.  Help!  And all the help I see refers to a earlier version of the AirPort Utility so I cant use those to look at anything, I cant find the same screens, I have version 6.1 (610.31).  I also don't really understand how ports work, so I need a pretty basic explanation.

    Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025.  So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3).  When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr.  I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports.  This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.
