  • Macbook Pro. What cable do i need to connect my monitor?

    Hi, I have a new Macbook Pro 15". I want to connect to my Samsung T220 monitor.
    It just plugged straight in to my OLD Macbook Pro.
    I am a designer and need best colour etc.
    Which cable / connector do I need???? Thanks R

  • Connecting Displayport Monitor with Thunderbolt 2

    Recently picked up the Samsung UD590 and was using it connected with HDMI on my Mac Pro.  No issues with that.  Knowing Thunderbolt can handle 60fps and the geometry of mini display port match up, picked up a cheap mini displayport to Displayport cable from CableMatters brand to see if you can actually push thunderbolt signal through the old cables.  The connection felt a little loose on the Screen end, and the Signal from Thunderbolt is definitely letting me run 4k at 60fps. (though my software is actually displaying 56fps cap) But there is a line of fuzzy tearing of the images down the right side of the screen about half an inch wide.  I figure its one of three things causing the issue. Either A) This was never meant to be and theres something native about Mini display port cable that just won't let this work, B) the cable is bad, or C) the port on the samsung is bad. 
    I'm going with Option B and going to return the cable for a new one, but if anyone has any input on this, I'd greatly appreciate it. 

    Yes if you use a mini displayport cable verson 1.2 and your monitor supports DP 1.2 as Grand said.
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) or Mac Pro (Late 2013) also support multi-stream transport (MST) displays at 60 Hz . These displays need to be manually configured to use MST. Follow the steps below to use the display's built-in controls to enable this feature.
    Sharp PN-K321: Choose Menu > Setup > DisplayPort STREAM > MST > SET
    ASUS PQ321Q: Choose OSD menu > Setup > DisplayPort Stream
    Dell UP2414Q and UP3214Q: Choose Menu > Display Setting > DisplayPort 1.2 > Enable
    Panasonic TC-L65WT600: Choose Menu > Display Port Settings > Stream Setting > Auto
    Your Mac will automatically detect an MST-enabled display. However, your display may require a firmware update to support 60Hz operation. Please contact your display vendor for details. If your specific DisplayPort display is not listed above, check with the display’s manufacturer for compatibility information.
    From:
    Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers
    I have the Dell and had to set it up as described above to get 60 Hz.
    Your monitor supports:
    Your Samsung UHD monitor is perfect for your game consoles as well as your PC. Thanks to 2 HDMI ports, both your computer and your console can be connected simultaneously, so you don’t have to unplug and plug in each time when you want to switch between them. That means less hassle and more time for entertainment. Thanks to DisplayPort connectivity, your monitor is also ready to connect to UHD-compatible devices and content. *Supports HDMI 1.4 (3840 x 2160, 30Hz) and Display Port 1.2 (3840 x 2160, 60Hz)

  • Lagging problem when connected to a Samsung Central Station 23"

    Hi,
    I bought myself a Macbook Air(Summer, 2011 Edition) about 3 months ago roughly,
    and I also bought myself a Samsung Central Station 23" which works just as a thunderbolt or cinema display but much cheaper and much elegant.
    It also sends audio signal as well as usb datas when connected to a pc or a mac.
    Before buying this monitor, I searched for any history or experience regarding performance problem when hooked upto an external monitor the other users had,
    and while some people say there are no such problems with new intel i core series which includes much advanced graphic core and much faster processor,
    many people said they have experienced performance problems to some dregree as well.
    Now that I seem to have this huge problem of lagging with my MBA when connected to Samsung Central Station,
    I still have no idea why it is happening, nor how to fix the problem.
    I use my Macbook Air connected to a Samsung Central Station 23" and it runs 1080P Full HD resoultion, which isn't that big deal to incur performance decline.
    I shut my MBA screen when I use the external monitor, so there isn't much thing to interfere with the performance.
    I don't know about other people who use an external monitor, but my central station monitor works on Full HD resolution only when i close my MBA screen or connect it as a dual screen. If the screen is left open, it runs with the same resolution as the macbook air.
    when I start sensing decline in frame I always had my MBA open to lower the resolution which seemed to work fine again.
    But these days,even when it's disconnected from the monitor it seems to have problem and the only way to bring it to the normal condition is to restart it.
    when connected to the monitor It's even hard to open few tabs on Safari and play a web flash game.
    It lags so hard I cannot even turn to other screen on mission control or swith to other browser tab without making it delay for a second.
    I checked CPU and RAM resources when it started lagging, but almost 90% of the CPU resources was idle and more than 500MB of RAM was free.
    After restarting the computer CPU remained the same, but more than 2G of RAM was now free.
    Im guessing it has something to do with GPU performance but not sure how to fix the problem.
    Do you think it's my Macbook Air's hardware problem or is it the monitor? or something else?

    I have the same issue. Were you able to find a resolution for this issue?

(It works in this resolution fine with my desktop and my other laptop a sony Vaio). When I set the monitor to 1600X1200,  the screen is displayed compressed with black bars on either side of the monitor.I tried updating with the latest driver for the monitor but still the same results.I'm copy-pasting the information below from the Intel graphics settings tool below. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  • DVI connected external monitor now having mouse troubles

    Hi Everyone, I'm new. I recently bought a 27inch imac and a DVI adapter to hook up a second monitor. When the second monitor is plugged in and on everything is ok. When the second monitor is unplugged everything is ok. When the second monitor is pluged in but turned off my mouse skips LOTS. Like it lags a bit then will shoot off to the side of the screen. I tried other mice (apple and microsoft) and different mouse pads/none/paper and no difference. I rang applecare (before I realised it was to do with the monitor) and they told me my mouse was stuffed.... Im convinced the imac gets confused when anothe monitor is connected. Others on mac rumors are having trouble also... Any ideas please?
    Cheers
    Jaidan

    Hello,
    I can confirm this problem on my iMac 27" of Mid 2010.
    At first in June, when i bought it, i had no problem whatsoever connecting my external Samsung 226bw. It worked like a charm.
    After some time, maybe a month of daily use, the iMac refused to wake up the external monitor after waking from sleep mode. Now the problem only got even worse, as it now refuses to power up the external monitor when booting too.
    The funny thing is it springs alive after a random period of time. (between 2 to 4 hours)
    When the iMac is in its 'Im ignoring your external monitor, Sir' mode, my magic mouse is very jumpy and laggy, like described earlier on in this thread. When the monitor comes alive, the mouse behaves normal.
    Now i've been looking into this problem quite some time now on the net, and all i can find are mostly confirmations of people having the same problem.
    There are some suggestions here and there on what to do, like resetting nvram or the SMC, deleting windowserver preferences files etc, but none of them seem to solve the issue.
    Strange thing is that Apple doesn't move a word about this? At least an acknowledgment of some sort, letting us know they are aware of the problem and maybe try to fix it.

  • Connecting LCD Monitor to lenovo n100 0768-ffg

    Hello
    I recently purchased a new LCD monitor (Samsung syncMaster t220)
    I have connected it to the VGA port in the computer.
    and what i get is a yellow picture!
    how can I solve this?
     please help
    Message Edited by dshmidt on 02-09-2009 01:21 PM

    If your laptop LCD do not display a yellow tinge, then the most likely the vga adapter on your laptop probably have a bad connection or have dirt in it. There is the option of getting a port replicator, which i believe have a vga out port, or a cheap
    usb2vga converter box, which can be bought for a cheap price over the net.

    Hi,
    Cables made by different manufacturers may deliver different results but the shorter cables say under 15" should produce the same quality signals.  HDMI has different specifications for the different version levels.
    I have yet to see any difference in picture quality between DVI-D and HDMI with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. If the color depth is greater than 24 bits using DVI then need to use DVI dual link to keep up with HDMI.

  • How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
    The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
    I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
    So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
    The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
    Could anyone help me on this issue.
    Thanks.

    You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface.  You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
    The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

  • Connecting to a Samsung TV no sound

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) that I am trying to connect to a Samsung TV.  I have a DVI to HDMI cable and can get video but not sound.  I have tried looking through lots of posts and have tried everything I can think of but still no sound.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Hi valleevistabrmn,
    The particular MacBook Pro that you have does not support audio through HDMI.  To get sound from your Mac into your Samsung TV, you would need to connect a cable with a 1/8-inch stereo jack on one end and a RCA jack (red and white) on the other end from the headphone jack on the Mac to an RCA input on your Samsung TV.  
    You'll need to refer to your Samsung TV manual for the correct settings on that device.
    In the System Preferences on your Mac, click Sound, click the Ouput tab, and choose the Samsung TV as the Output.   
    If you are not able to work with the audio on your TV directly, another option would be to connect the MacBook Pro to your home stereo.
    Connect your Mac to a home stereo, iPod, iPad, musical instruments, or speakers - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201739
    Another option is to purchase an Apple TV, which will allow you to stream content from your Mac via your Wi-Fi connection to your Samsung TV.

    Apple TV gives you access to the best 1080p HD content — including blockbuster movies, hit TV shows, live sports, your music, photos, videos, and more — right on your high-definition TV.

  • Connecting Macbook to Samsung TV

    I purchased a mini dvi to video adapter, a yellow video cable and headphone to red/white audio cable.
    However when attempting to connect to my Samsung tv all I get is 'no signal'.
    I am unable to change the tv source to PC as this remains greyed out on the options list.
    Please can you help!

    not sure how old of a model tv you have but i have a samsung too; a hdtv. if you have a hdmi port i would recommend that you get the mini dvi to hdmi cable (video) and get a 3.5MM to RCA (audio). you can get both of these for cheap @ onsale.com. This way you can use the PC input.
    I love using this in closed lid mode; highly recommend it. let me know if this helps.

  • Can I connect 2 monitors to a Mac Mini?

    I am thinking of buying a Mac Mini for an art installation project and will need to connect two monitors to it. Please can someone let me know if I can connect more than 1 monitor to a Mac mini. Can they be 19" monitors or must they be smaller resolution? Do they have to be of a particular specification? Any recommendations? Thanks very much.

    A simple splitter would theoretically support anything up to the mini's maximum resolution, but in practice it depends on the actual displays being used as the whether the mini correctly identifies the devices and offers the correct range of resolution options. Some juggling (such as disconnecting one display while the system boots or wakes from sleep) can help, but it really does depend on the display(s) as to whether the mini behaves correctly via a splitter of this sort.
    The Matrox device is technically far better because it presents itself to the mini as a single display, but of course it limits maximum resolution across both screens, and thus isn't really all that attractive a proposition unless 15" LCDs are to be used rather than anything larger.
    The USB-based device seems to offer the best of both worlds - or at least will offer the best of both worlds when released with tried and tested Mac drivers. It's not all that clear why Mac drivers have been slow in coming for these devices when they have been around for Windows for some time now, and a number of manufacturers had pre-announced Mac versions as much as a year ago. At the general price of $99 or so, a USB adaptor would provide a reasonably low cost and (importantly) flexible way to add a second display.... if such a device can be currently had!
    The forgoing is the reason the 'yes' answer is not the short one!

  • 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

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.
