Asus Monitor Display

This question is quite elementary, but understand I am new to mac.....I've connected a hdmi cable through the thunderbolt port for my primary display to be on an Asus 24" monitor.  When I close my laptop, it goes to sleep and my display on the monitor says "no connection".  I've played with several settings, and can't get it to work.  What setting do I need to adjust?

Hi
These are the steps for putting your laptop in clamshell mode (closed lid) with external display:

Note you will need to be using a external mouse and keyboard to get this to work.
If these steps dont work you may need to reset your PRAM settings follow here:

Hope this helps

  • Can anyone help me solve the problem of text displaying very rough on my new ASUS PA279Q display monitor running off my MacBook Pro?

    This is regarding a brand new ASUS PA 279Q, 2560 x 1440 IPS monitor. I'm connected via mini display port (into thunderbolt port on MacBook Pro) to display port on ASUS monitor; using cable ASUS included with the monitor. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro…full specs at bottom of this post.
    I have resolution set at 2560 x 1440 which is the native resolution according to the ASUS spec. I tried the other resolutions available in my System Preferences and text displayed rough with those settings too. I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness and sharpness via the ASUS control panel and didn't solve the problem. Also tried calibrating via Mac's system preferences/display and that did not improve text display either. All the text on this monitor (no matter what software I launch, Finder, InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, Excel, VMWare Windows XP, Windows versions of Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc, all are consistently rendering text the same way ---  ROUGH and with "HALOS" around each letter.
    All point sizes of text and at various scales, display very rough on the screen. (My comparison is the retina display of my MBP and a Thunderbolt…so those two displays are my expectations.) I'm using the same MBP for both a Thunderbolt display (at work) and this ASUS at my home office.
    On the ASUS it's not as noticeable when the text is on white backgrounds, but I'm a graphic designer and compose images with text all day everyday. Not to mention the specs on this ASUS PA279Q indicate it's built for the professional so I would expect better text rendering. I haven't even addressed color calibration and balance yet, because that won't matter to me if the text won't display any better than it is now.
    I was so hopeful after researching all the specs on this monitor it would be a viable alternative to the glossy display of the Thunderbolt display. (Which, I do love the Thunderbolt display for it's clarity and how it displays crisp, clean text at all sizes. (This ASUS actually displays text decently if I increase the text so each letter is about 4" high. Which is pointless for practical purposes -- that'd be like doing page layout through a microscope!)
    I kept holding off on getting a monitor for the home office thinking the Thunderbolt would be updated soon. I'd be sick if I dropped a grand on piece of 2011 technology only to learn a few days later an updated Thunderbolt display hit the market! Not to mention, I'm praying Apple comes out with a less reflective Thunderbolt display. The glare and reflection is the main reason I looked elsewhere for a large monitor; hence my asking for help. Hoping the ASUS text display issue can be worked out. My expectation is for it to display like the MBP retina and Thunderbolt display text. That possible?
    Alternatively, I guess I could do the Apple Refurb Thunderbolt at $799. And see if there's a decent aftermarket anti-glare I could stick on it?
    Thanks for reading my post. Hope someone can help; offer any suggestions? Words or wisdom?
    Has anyone else had similar issues and figured out a resolution? Help!

  • Macbook to Asus monitor resolution problem

    I have a ’08 Macbook connected to an Asus monitor via DVI. I’ve been working at 1280 x 800 with a “usable” resolution of 1280 x 720 (listed in Mac Color LCD dialogue box). In the Asus VH238 dialogue box, many higher resolutions are available (max 1920 x 1080) but don’t work. At least I didn’t think they did, until I “accidentally” opened the Macbook lid and/or turned on the power on the monitor or some combination of moves that somehow allowed 1920 x 1080 resolution to work. Unfortunately, it only happened once and I can’t seem to duplicate what I think I did. Any suggestions?

    Hi gasser29,
    I'm unclear if you are still running 10.6 as is noted in your post, but for most versions of OS X, if you hold down the Option key when selecting the Scaled radio button in Displays, it should give you additional display resolution options:

    If you select a resolution that isn't supported and your display becomes black or unreadable, you may also find this article helpful:

  • Asus monitor compatible

    is there a compatibility problem with asus monitor?

    https://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/MX299Q/
    says
    DisplayPort, HDMI/MHL, and Dual-link DVI ports for multi-device connectivity
    With HDMI youcould only get 1920x1080 but that may not work. I would use the display poret on the mnitor and get a mini display port to display port cable. They cost about $10-15. You can also get a dual-link DVI adopter for about $100

  • External Monitor display issue

    The external monitor for my mac book pro displays large/wide text when both screens are open.  If I shut the laptop, the external monitor display returns to a normal view.  I tried going to system preferences, displays and it's either on best for display or in scaled, the maximum 1920 x 1080.
    Please advise.

    Where is extended display mode? In display screen, the mirrored mode is checked, both displays are in 1920 x 1080, not sure what else I can do here?  BTW: it just started happening (all was normal on both screens) until I used laptop at my work and connected it to external screen (school) with VGA adaptor (at home I use a DVI).

  • CMYK images: strange monitor display & and printing

    I tried the way Pages 2 handles CMYK images today and found out some strange things.
    My problem: monitor display
    CMYK .jpg files are displayed inverted on screen like a negative - black is white and white is black. Layouting basicly rendered useless. Is there a work arround ?
    Solved: Printing
    For printing there are at least two ways to get a decent result. Here my findings:
    - Any color printers
    "Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Standard" => CMYK images get converted to RGB
    "Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Printer specific" => CMYK images stay in CMYK if printer is able to print CMYK
    - use "Save to PDF" within printing dialog
    Same as above, profiles tagged to images stay correct
    - Adobe Acrobat Distiller
    Same as above, but PDF looses recognizeable profile information. PDF workflow software does not recognize "SWOP" or "ISOcoated" by name but has "Embedded Adobe Postscript CRD Profile" instead which will create problems in workflow processing.
    - Exporting "File - Export - PDF"
    Profiles stay intact and are handled correctly.

  • How do I remove a blank 1"X1" blank spot in upper left corner of monitor display?

    How do I remove a blank 1"X1" spot in the upper left corner of monitor display?

    What version of Pages?
    What instructions? It sounds like you have got the wrong ones and are trying to delete a page in the Thumbnails, which will delete th entire section.
    If you have a blank page in a Word Processing template, it is because there is some text on it, even a return, tab, space or page break:

  • Source monitor displays a different size to Program monitor in CC2014

    I have imported a clip and the source monitor displays a different size in the program monitor?
    Thanks Chris

    It looks like your sequence is set up for the wrong size. Select a video file and right click 'New Sequence from Clip' see if that helps. I see that your video material is HD did you set up the sequence to match the earlier stills? that might be bigger than HD? If that is the case make a sequence the size for the video and use 'scale to frame size' for the stills.

  • Secondary monitor displays with colorshift

    secondary monitor displays with colorshift in LR4.1rc2. this is on windows 7/64.
    Both my  monitors i have are calibrated with spyder3, one is hardwarecalibrated eizo CG243, the other a HP2475 calibrated with spyder4 elite software.
    Colorshift shows same characteristics when i switch LR app window with secondary window.
    IT looks as if sRGB profile is applied to the secondary preview, because of the  strong/overly saturated colors.
    It seems to  me a softwarebug, which makes secondary display inusable.
    How is color management supposed to work in LR4?

    It works fine with me (LR4.1 RC2, but previously used RC1, LR4.0, LR3.6... all worked the same).
    I have a wide-gamut HP LP2475w (approx Adobe RGB  gamut) and a Samsung193P (approx sRGB).  Both calibrated/profiled with Color Munki Display, but I've previously used Eye One and Spyder units.  After calibration/profiling, LR main and secondary display look the same in both Loupe and Develop view, and no matter which is LR's primary display.  (Obviously, colours outside sRGB gamut don't look the same!)
    I've just checked, and it still seems to be the case on my set up (W7 64-bit). 
    I can't think what the problem might be.  I guess you've checked in Control Panel / Color Management that the correct profiles are assigned to each monitor.  And I guess that you've got a video card with dual LUTs that allows separate calibration (mind you, I've never come across any cards that don't have separate LUTs, but apparently there are some). 
    PS - Web view might be different, as I think LR uses IE for rendering in web view only, and IE doesn't colour-manage properly.

  • Stuck with 1024x768 resolution/monitor/display

    After re-installing Snow Leopard on my friend's mac,
    My screen resolution/monitor/display can only get 1024x768. System Prefs doesnt allow me other display options, they are blank.
    Asked, Googled, people say it may be bad/corrupted video kext.
    Is this the case?
    If so how to find the folder where video kext is and
    where to get the clean video kext file to replace?
    Thanks so much!

    Reinstall OS X, but erase the drive first. If you reinstalled over an existing but corrupted system it could cause this problem.
