Any ideas on buying a extra monitor for Macbook?

I was wondering if anyone has used a second monitor for a Macbook Pro.  I kind of really like more room space for all the stuff I do on it.  The only thing though, I really would like it to be under $300.00 (or around that).  I have heard good things about the dell ultra sharp display and the Thunderbolt display by apple. 
If this will help, I am looking for a display that would easy to do homework on.  I would want it to be responsive to, because I do use Photoshop often (and other image editing tools)
would appreciate a advice!

I would not have any current suggestions ... I am running on two monitors that are at least 2 years old.
I can only tell you that if it looks good to your eyes it should look good at home.  Displays in the 20 in range can be had for under $300 even in LG and Samsung.
And both LCD and LED 20 in displays are usially light.

  • Any ideas when new version be out for minor fixes?

    HI all any ideas when new version be out for minor bug fixes? like the mem usage for some people that see it and the like. i personal have know issues with mem usage.

    If the memory isn't released when closing windows and tabs or the program is quit, or if plug-ins are eating up memory, I think it is loading depending on available memory, so maybe it is just written for modern systems. Vista caches as much as possible, more memory, more gets cached.
    On Apple's OS X, it easily eats up 300-900MB on a 4GB system.
    If you want a smaller footprint, just use Firefox 3.0 (Minefield).

    Adobe is not going to swap 13 for 12. It is selling only 13 download as you found out. So, you are going to have to purchase 12 if you want to use that program. It may still be available at some retail locations, such as Amazon.
    If you are within 30 days of purchase and have purchase the download from Adobe, then contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to get a refund. To do that, click on the following link

  • Buying monitor for macbook

    i am buying a monitor for my macbook and was looking to spend aroung £130- £160 for sometihng ner a 20 inch screen, does anyone have any ideas whihc model woud be the best to buy,

    Check the resolution capability, you can get a good 1600x1200 20-inch monitor. Or go for the wider screens a little larger. The MacBook can drive up to 1920x1200. I have found the Samsung monitors usually to be a good value, but prices vary all the time, you have to shop around and watch prices. With most new monitors having DVI input, you would need the mini-DVI to DVI adapter for the MacBook. Some can rotate to portrait or landscape mode, the MacBook supports this also.

  • I just restored my 24 inch imac and it seems to be running MUCH slower than before. Any Ideas why? thanks in advance for your help!

    I have erased and restored my 24 inch Intel iMac. I have upgraded to the last version of X os. My system is running WAY slower than it was before. Even opening windows seems to lag and the spinning wheel come up for everything. Every task is slow, even typing this! lol
    Here are my specs:
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          6 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          IM81.00C1.B00
      SMC Version (system):          1.30f1
    Any ideas would be helpful. Is this a hardware issue?
    Thanks!

    Matt:
    Thanks for the update. It is good to know that the maintenance procedures helped. Regular maintenance and a good backup are key to computer security. Gulliver's article has a suggested schedule. Dr. Smoke's FAQ on Backup and Recovery has excellent information and advice. I part company with him on his insistence on Retrospect, which I have found to be difficult to use. SuperDuper has been shown the best backup software in these tests.
    If you usually leave your computer on or asleep, it is good practice to shut down and start up in Safe Mode occausionally. I do it about once weekly.
    Good luck.

  • Any idea how much it will cost for these repairs? PLEASE RESPOND!!!!

    Appologies for the desperate plea but no one ever seems to respond
    I have an ipod touch 3rd Gen, Second hand as my partner couldnt put up with the loose headphone jack and broken on/off switch, I also have an iPhone. Its diabolical and only 8gb so I could live with the minor problems with the touch (as its much faster +32gb) UNTIL THEY GOT WORSE!!!!!!!
    After finding a video on how to repair the LOOSE SCREW in the headphone jack without paying a fortune i tried to fix it myself, in doing so broke the screen, comletley. Its a dead screen. I know this because I had the same problem with my phone (although that wasn't due to my own stupidity!).
    I'm pretty sure the ipod is still under warranty but I don't know when it was bought, and I don't know how to find any form of purchase date or registration date etc
    And so unfortunately i'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay apple yet another small fortune to fix it. Any ideas as to how much this will cost??
    Afterall It was a freebie so it won't be too painful to bin it if its too expensive.
    Cheers .

    Take it in for repair where they can give you an estimate. We are users here. We don't have cost estimators for Apple service repairs.
    If it's under warranty and wasn't damaged by someone's negligence then repairs may be free. But we can't possible give you an answer to your question. I can refer you to this:

  • External Monitor for Macbook Pro (Use for Audio)

    Hey
    Well I have a Macbook Pro and am looking to get an extra monitor because I am an Audio Production major and need the space.
    I'm looking for about 20-22 inch range and maybe one that swivels so it is horizontal or vertical.
    Please let me know what you think.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Be very careful what you buy, and if at all possible test it with the computer before you buy it. A few times. These things just stop detecting external monitors for no reason sometimes, as well as just refusing to ever detect certain monitors.
    Maybe someone here has a set-up that's working for them, that's your safest option.

  • Which external monitor for MacBook Air?

    I have a 13" 2012 Macbook Air and want to buy the best monitor I can for my budget, which is around £175. It only has a lightning adaptor.
    I've just started a 2 year masters degree and will be doing a lot of working from home, so would like the best quality/size I can afford.
    Any personal recommendations?
    Thanks in advance!

    Actually it's called a Thunderbolt port, and you can use any monitor with a Thunderbolt input. You can also purchase an inexpensive Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, and use any monitor with an HDMI input. There are many more of them to choose from.
