T410 Dual monitor support with integrated graphics

I am considering purchasing a T410 with integrated graphics, but I need to make sure it will support dual digital displays (with a dock of course). I use a T500 for work, and when I switch to the integrated chip, I am unable to use dual monitors.
Can someone confirm that the T410 (integrated graphics) can use dual digital displays with a dock?

Should work. That NEC is 1920x1080 which is suported on the single-link DVI. DP can handle even more. The dock has both DVI and DP. Your ThinkPad supports the 2 monitor outs. My understanding is the ThinkPad LCD would need to be off when you do this; the specs on the dock mention max 2 monitors simultaneously.

Dual monitor support? for HP Compaq Pro 4300, with Intel HD Graphics 4000 onboard

Hi,
Purchased new Buisness PC for cloud computing, which was HP Compaq Pro 4300 - with Dual Monitor supported.
I have purchased 2x Samsung S24C550VL 23.6 inch LED MHL Monitor (250cd/m2, 1920x1080, 2ms, 2x HDMI, MHL, VGA).
How do I cable these avoiding using VGA for one of them. Can I use a splitter cable as both appear to support DVI-D ? Which of the many cables options/splitters may be best option for extended display?
PC will be operating Windows 7 Professional 64
Regards
Woof !

Dual monitor setup with seperate resolutions

hey guys!
i currentley run thye latest version of archlinux with the cinnamon desktop environment and an nvidia geforce 7300SE graphics card.
im running a dual monitor setup with one 27" 1920x1080 monitor and one 27" 1024X768 monitor
because they have the same physical size they line up perfectley but because the resolution is different programs/mouse cursor movement doesnt, is there any way (without changing the resolutions) to compensate this effect so that in the eyes of linux/cinnamon the monitors line up so that for example dragging a window goes seamlessley between the 2 monitors.
i HAVE found out the panning option in the nvidia x server settings, but that really isnt what i am looking for...

A magnifier following the window down to the pixel, zooming to the exact size of 540 pixels the 384 pixels window could create an illusion of just that. It would be highly impractical however, not mention all the hacking time. Even if you would manage to get two screen with different sized icons, so that they match visually, the windows and fonts resizing on the fly, wmctrl might help with windows alone, no their themes (buttons, borders thickness etc.), you would still be left with a visually differently sized mouse cursor. Technically such a feat should be possible, but who is going to code it? Nvidia?

Dual Monitor Support No Longer Works

Hi,
I am using Lightroom 2.0 on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.4
Dual monitor support use to work with my Samsung external monitor. But now whenever I try to turn on dual monitor function, lightroom crashes. I know the external monitor and connection is working properly because I am able to use all of my other programs with both monitors, but no longer lightroom's dual monitor function.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

It was an extremely frustrating process trying to know if indeed this was the way to calibrate this monitor, and after spending so much time and research was all I could come up with. Did you notice the graphing results of both types of calibration? The red (I believe it was) of the RBG graph line was not lined up at all with the G and B thus the weird color on the monitor, and with the Easy mode, they were at least in line, more or less.

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU Dual Monitor Support

My nephew has a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU, downgraded from Vista to XP. Does this notebook support Dual Monitor Extended Desktop configuration? If so, how is this configured?
My nephew lives in a different city, so I am not able to just go over and lay w/ his machine. I am familiar w/ the dual monitor support on my HP LapTop, but am not sure what to look for on the Lenovo. Assistance is appreciated.

Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
Thanks

Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics. As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc). That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.

FX5900-TD128 - Dual monitor support?

?(
I'm thinking of buy a FX5900-TD128 card, but I want dual monitor support (2 CRTs). I looked on the product info page, but it doesn't explicitly say the card can actually do this... I don't want to find out the hard way by dropping $400+ on a card and then finding out it can't do something I need ;(
BTW: I assume this thing will fit fine in a 865PE Neo2-LS mobo... right?
Thanks

It would be a logical assumption that MSI's designers would get their gfx cards to fit their own mobos :D
I haven't seen anyone complain so it should be ok.
Thanks.

G41TM-E43 Dual Monitor Support

Hi,
Please can you tell me whether this motherboard supports dual monitors? I am trying to build a low energy HTPC, and need to connect the TV up to the HDMI port and a monitor up to the VGA.
Cheers, Mase

That is not likely since it would require a complete re-write of the Remote
Control software.
However, Dual Monitor Support DOES exist in ZCM10.

T60 Vista and Dual Monitor Support

I have a Lenovo T60 running on Vista 32-bit. I have the latest Video Drivers, but whenever my laptop comes out of hibernation I lose dual monitor support. Is there a solution to this problem?

The issue you're facing is a combination of a Vista "bug" and the video drivers. If you are using the latest video drivers, check to see that Vista is not managing the TMM - Vista has a bad habit of just remembering the initial setup, therefore when you take your computer off the dock, Vista doesn't like the change and will "conveniently" forget any variation of settings you may introduce.
Read this article on TMM for Vista (.doc file - read the first section)
Hope that helps

T410 with integrated graphics - DVI output not working on Mini Dock 3 (4337)

I tried connecting my external monitor to the DVI output of the Mini Dock and it did not work. I have since connected it with no issus to the VGA output.
However, I want to use the digital (DVI) connection for my monitor........how can i fix this issue?
NOTE: I have a T410 with the integrated graphics so my laptop screen does not display while docked (I keep the lid closed).

Hi MarkinIt,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with no Display when connected to docking station on your ThinkPad T410.
Have you checked updating the Intel graphic driver from Lenovo support site?
Please provide the current Graphic driver version showing in device manager.
Is the system having Windows 7 or Windows 8 OS?
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Dual Monitor Support NEEDED

[ Mac OS 10.4.8 - G$ QuickSilver Dual 2.0 - two large monitors ]
I just tried Lightroom for the first time today, and was shocked to see that there is no support for detaching panels onto a second monitor. This is a deal-breaker for me -- lots of glitzy clutter and not enough image space. (Yeah, you can hide panels, but working with two monitors with one monitor reserved for panels is SO much nicer.) I am very concerned that this, along with the Bridge CS3 beta's lack of multiple monitor support is indicative of a very unfortunate trend with Adobe's interface design staff.
And I hope they get the message loud and clear that a deprecation of multiple monitor support is UNACCEPTABLE.
Also, the tabbed design of Adobe Camera Raw 4 as implemented in Photoshop CS3 is much nicer than the space-consuming approach in Lightroom.

Well said, Dan. I think the thing that also troubles me is what you mention about being inbuilt from the ground up. The fact that it was considered "too difficult" to get in to v1.0 indicates that the framework of the application and the architecture therein isn't built in such a way as to make a second view of a particular image or set of images possible on a secondary monitor without significant development work. This will inevitably lead to a 'bolted on' look and feel as the holdouts within the lightroom team capitulate and shove in such support.
If even partial support for simply showing one image - or heck, a slideshow - on a designated monitor (remember some people have more than 2, especially when presenting slideshows) were included in version 1, it would indicate to me that the architecture team "wanted to do it right" and had to put off some features until later. Having to completely bolt it on after the launch just means they couldn't even get it in the basic architecture.
And, yes, Richard.... that one "feature" is certainly a deal breaker for me. "Usable" is in the mind of the "user" but usefulness is obvious. Let's consider a use-case scenario:
I have a 23" cinema display, which I like to use for showing a Really Big Image, and i have a 21" Wacom cintiq on which I like to use the pen and tap on images to select or browse them and adjust sliders and whatnot. Don't tell me that the fact I can't do that with Lightroom isn't perfectly valid instant deal breaker! With Lightroom, I can either use my cinema display and get a kind-of large image and adjust with a mouse, or I can use my cintiq and get a pretty-darn-small image and use my pen. With Aperture, I can set the "main window" as my cintiq (although I do have to do this in the OS - a minor pain) but I can see the image I'm working with (or a set of several selected images) very large on my 23". Is that not an obviously better workflow? So much to possibly be a deal breaker _without_ really even getting in to some of the less-immediately-apparent features of Lightroom? For me, yes.
Does anyone think I'm _really_ comparing apples to oranges when I look at Aperture and Lightroom side-by-side? I'm sure if I worked for Apple or Adobe, I'd try to make that claim, but as a user, what I think I am looking at are applications that let me organize, tag, view, and adjust a database of images. Which ever application is the most useful for doing those tasks wins. I hold out hope that Lightroom may one day be the winner in this arms race of image management and correction applications, but right now there is absolutely no way I can credit Lightroom with even being competitive with Aperture when one of my two monitors has to sit dark when I use Lightroom.

Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
So here goes;
Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
-1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
-1440 x 900 (on the right)
With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

Java Dual Monitor Support

Hi I am trying to write a presentation package that uses a dual monitor system for it's display. The first monitor should hold an overview of all the possible screens and options etc and the second monitor should only ever display the chosen screen (ie on a projector).
Does anyone have any ideas how to get control of 2 seperate monitors and tell each one to have different output as I have no idea how to do this.
If possible it needs to work on mac and pc but am happy to start with just pc.
Matt.

Hi Krugos,
Have a look at the GraphicsEnvironment class. That provides a method called getScreenDevices which returns an array of GraphicsDevice objects, one for each graphics device (screen, printer etc). The GraphicsDevice object will have N GraphicsConfiguration objects associated with it.
This should be enough to point you in the right direction.

Lightroom 4.4 dual monitor support

Is there any possibility of looking closely at the way dual monitors are supported in LR4.4?
Having just upgraded, it is worse than LR3.6 which wasn't totally ideal anyway. The issues are:
LR forgets that you have dual monitors when you close it and you have to set it up again when it restarts.
LR will switch which monitor has the grid or loupe view not quite at random but annoyingly frequently as a result of taking an action. Importing does it amongst others.
I have one good monitor and another which is not quite as good. Clearly I want to be able to edit the photos and look at photos in the better monitor. It would be helpful you could select which monitor you want to use for Loupe and the program respects this choice until you actually choose otherwise. I find that I am having to think of ways to do things so that it doesn't switch me; ie I am fighting the program instead of it helping me by being intuitive.
Thanks.

Interesting. It probably shouldn't make any difference but do you use MAC, I am using a Windows 7 PC.
I have looked closely at the preferences and menu options but cannot see anything user configurable which allows me to control this. The 2nd monitor menu seems to allow you to lock it on Loupe but that isn't what I want as the second monitor is the smaller not so good one. This option isn't available for the 1st monitor.
Strangely, this morning it is restarting with the second monitor in use. Does it relate to conditions when LR4.4 was closed down?

Is a dual monitor setup with 2graphic cards possible?

HI.
What i want to do is run Archlinux on my Desktop but i dont want to miss my second monitor.
I could use both monitor on my nvidia graphiccard but i want to use the energy saving features too (wich dont work with 2monitor on one card) therefore my windows setup is big monitor on nvidia and the smaller one on the intel onboard card.
They both get recognized by lspci but only the onboard cards isy being used (the onboard card is the first card on windows too).
So is it possible to get it to work? Id really want to use ARchlinux on my Desktop too but i dont want to use it with one screen or without energy saving?
Working compositing is a must, i want to use gnome3 wich is the only reason to swich to linux for the Desktop (arch is running on the laptop for ages^^) but i dont need to, Win7 is working flawlessly fine and i didnt have to pay for it (msdnaa).
Thanks in advance!

hy do you need to clock down your card?
Most gpu have a function that clocks down the card@idle and or desktop.
In my case thats down from 850mhz(560ti)to 200mhz while using windows and 50mhz if the gpu load is low.
Thats about 20watts less then with full clock.
The problem is, that the gpu wont clock down with 2monitors on it, it stays at 850mhz.
Theres some driver tweaks for amd cards wich "fix" thatfix this (i believe its intentionl, 2monitors equals more load but its no problem with new cards...
Thats one reason i use my onboard gpu for the second monitor, it works well with windows and also means that swiching off fullscreen (games) to the desktop works a lot better, the second monitor can play a movie while playing wich doesnt work with one gpu and fullscreen.
I really dont need that with Linux since i use it for work and multimedia only but the energy saving feature is nice if the pc is on 8hours and more wich is often the case.
Can you tell which one do you run? I'm going to buy one for dual-monitor setup, and I'm looking for something that will work for shure.
As said dual monitor on one gpu works, amd can do 3monitors while nvidia can do 2 at once, that means if u intend to use 3monitors some day with ur card u have to buy an amd card.
i took the nvidia because is can use it to render videos with cuda support (its not working with all tools yet but its getting better and if it works its a lot faster then my cpu rendering).
PS: Thats one hread about the power saviing with 2monitors:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197557
since my monitors dont share the same resolution it seems that theres no way to make it work .
