Anyone successfully using an LG  Monitor with a Macbook Pro?

I am considering an LG L226WQT to use with our MBP and Powermac G5. I have been told that LG monitors don't work well with Macs, but I have not found any actual information suggesting this.

I just got the HP LP2275w, and I'm not able to get it to detect the signal from the Mac. I may be missing something entirely, since my MacBook Pro is also new and my primary computer was a Windows machine before. Anyone have any tips on getting this monitor going with a MacBook Pro?

  • How can I use an A1082 monitor with my MacBook Pro?

    I received an apple A1082 monitor this past weekend from a friend and we couldn't, and still can't, figure out how it can be used with my MacBook Pro. I know that I need an adapter, but where does it get power from? Thanks in-advance. Richie.

  • Use an external monitor with my MacBook Pro

    I have my MacBook Pro (13" Spring 2010) and I would like to extend my desktop over to my Gateway FH2300 however Lion is giving me some issues.
    For one after I make my external monitor my primary monitor in the appearnce tab in Settings some apps appear on my MacBook Pro but I can't drag it over to my other dektop because my mouse cursor is confined to that monitor. In Windows 7 my 2 monitors work flaulsly and I can easily drag and work with apps in between both windows.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Remember that your monitors probably aren't the same size.  Look at the placement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.  Your mouse will only move over the section that overlaps.  Places like the bottom of this sample it won't.

  • How do I use two external monitors with my MacBook Pro?

    I have a 21" monitor and a 20" TV capable of VGA connection, and my MacBooks model is 5,4 (late 2009), so it only has one mini display port. I have a VGA to mini display connector and use it lots. I work on multiple projects at once, and I'd like to be able to use three screens at once... any suggestions?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • I have a 2010 vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro that has a 60 watt power adapter.  I also have an older power adapter that is 65 watts.  Is it okat to use the 65 watt with this MacBook Pro?

    I have a 2010 vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro that has a 60 watt power adapter.  I also have an older power adapter that is 65 watts.  Is it okat to use the 65 watt with this MacBook Pro?

    yes.
    "For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer.

    Yep, I updated. I've had no problems and I like the new OS. However, since my MacBook Pro is pre-2011, I had to downlod Air Parrot to be able to use the MacBook in conjunction with Apple TV. Everything now works well.

  • Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

    Hello all,
    I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
    http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
    But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
    I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website.  Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.).   No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
    Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
    I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection.  But after all that work I get the same crash.
    We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
    And I keep getting the crash.
    So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5.  Are there any tips that I should know of.  Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
    As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection.  No other plug-ins or programs installed.
    Thanks
    ...Rowby

    I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
    It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
    Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
    In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
    Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
    http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
    Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
    Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.
    >>
    Rowby,
    I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned  out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at  some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for  your patience and help with this one
