Can I connect a monitor with built in speakers to my macbook air?

Can I connect a monitor with built-in speakers to my macbook air?  What would you suggest in the 22" - 24" size for everyday use?

If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

  • I can't connect my HP office jet J4680 printer to my Macbook Air

    My HP OfficeJet J4680 printer won't connect with my printer via USB. When I try to add it through system preferences it doesn't appear. It says I have no softwear to update so I'm not too sure what to do. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Here are a few ideas:
    1. Make sure the SSID is being broadcast.
    2. Make sure that DHCP is active.
    3. Do not use MAC filtering (it is not a good security measure, anyway).
    4. Change the router channel to 11.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

  • Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

    Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

    Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors.  Early models only had one monitor port.  Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport.  Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port.  The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
    Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter.  The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such.  So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

    What type of headphones were you using? I have a set of Microssft headsets, with the built-in mic and connected via USB, and have no problems.

  • 20" Monitor with (Built-in iSight?)

    As soon as Apple updates the 20" monitor with built-in iSight I will be buying one and connecting my Macbook, then retiring my iMac iSight to my wife. Hurry up Apple with the upgrade.
    Now for the technical question:
    If Apple indeed adds iSight to it's line of monitors and since all the new computers Apple is building these days already have iSight built-in will my dream configuration work.
    I know the external iSight works when connected, however there are minor glitches when shutting down, sleeping....

    dig a little deeper next time
    D/FW, there nothing to dig for. You're asking for functionality and behaviour of a product that does not exist. You're better off speculating in a rumours forum.

  • Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?

    My mac mini has Elgato 'Eye TV' software that runs in 'Full Screen'.  I want to keep this setting & also connect another monitor to the macmini & use other Appilications on the other monitor?  Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?
    My early 2009 macmini can run Mac OS 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8

    Yes, run one from HDMI and the other from Thunderbolt/minidisplayport sockets. In EyeTV Preferences check the screen you want for full screen use and make sure your Dock is on the other one.

  • Sun Ray 2 - Connecting to monitor with USB Hub issues

    Hi,
    We recently purchased 21 Sun Ray 2 devices and 21 Dell 1909W monitors with built in USB ports to go with them.
    This combination works great with 17 of the Sun Ray 2 devices, i.e. mouse and keyboard connected to USB ports on monitor then A to B USB cable running from Sun Ray 2 to Dell monitor.
    However, on 4 of the setups this combination fails to work, and after troubleshooting we identified neither the Sun Ray 2 or Dell monitors were faulty. Our support agents suggested since Dell could use a different USB hub 'engine' for their monitors (Even the same model of monitor) this may cause problems being picked up by the Sun Ray 2 devices.
    After trying out a box of spare A to B USB cables we had lying around spare, surprisingly 3 of the 4 before non working devices are now working. However, if the 'magic' leads were to be stolen etc we would have a problem again!
    Are there any sorts of firmware updates etc for the Sun Ray 2 devices that would mean we could get all the monitors working with the standard Dell provided A to B USB cables? At the moment the optical light on the mouse will 'blink' and then nothing else will happen (It does 'blink' on the working setups before getting full power).
    Many thanks :)
    John

    no I tried with bro's iPod which have 4.x firmaware and it works fine. So I guess it's safe to assume this is problem because of firmware

  • Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

    Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ?  2 differents screens.. not mirror.

    There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
    Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
    Put this phrase into Google
            dual monitors, mac mini
    and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

  • I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
    BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks.  I thought it too loose until I tried it.  works just fine!!
    i get a solved for my own  LOL

  • Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top?

    Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top? Our monitor screen is going out and would like to have another option then replacing the whole thing! I think A LCD TV would be less expensive than the repairs to our iMac.( OS 10.6.8 )

    Yes, but we need to know exactly which year model you have? So that we can advise you on exactly which adapter you need for you iMac.
    see > How to identify iMac models
    Plus, adding that Computer Monitors make better displays than TVs and comparatively cost a little less than TVs.
    For examples of monitors that have both DVI and VGA inputs:

  • Satellite L20-101: can't connect my TV with the svhs

    Hi dudes,
    i have a problem.
    I have a L20 - 101 and i can't connect my tv with the svhs exit of my toshiba.
    I reinstalled drivers for motherboard and videographics, what can i try?
    thanks

    Ok, sounds like a really un-nice problem.
    So, how do you try to switch to the TV? You have the option in your display properties, but does the machine *recognize* the TV? You have also the key combination FN+F5 to change the display, did you already tried it?
    And regarding your display drivers (which vga do you have? nvidia or ati?)
    You can take a look here to find the latest working drivers for mobile platforms:
