Dual 23-inch HD Mac Displays

I currently have a 1.66mhz Intel Mac Mini with 2 GB of operating memory, and a 23-inch HD Display. I would like to add another display. What do I need technically???

there are devices that will let you have to displays running the same image, but the mini doesn't have dual-monitor support

Newest Mac Pro: Displays How will 4K be displayed? : 4K 3840x2160 UHD 4096x2550 Where as: 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display=2660x1440

How will 4K be displayed? :
4K 3840x2160
UHD 4096x2550
Where as:
27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display=2660x1440

4k is the generic term for resolutions that have a horizontal number of pixels around 4000. The two most common resolutions are Ultra Hi-Def (UHD) and Cinema 4K (C4K). The first is 3840x2160 and is exactly four times the resolution of "Full HD", or 1080p. The second is 4096x2160 and is one of the "standard" resolutions used in digital cinema projection.
The HDMI 1.4 standard supports both of these, but only at certain refresh rates. UHD, being the consumer version, is supported at 24Hz, 25Hz, and 30Hz; C4K is only defined for 24Hz since most of the material is going to be film-sourced. (This implies that 25/30Hz will include TV material at half their original rates of 50/60Hz.) Over HDMI, all four of these timing formats run at the same clock rate (297MHz, ignoring the fractional versions). This is the highest clock used in this version of HDMI, although the standard allows up to 340MHz. (There may be PC timing formats between 297-340...)
Using generic terms, we call these modes "UHD30" to imply resolution and refresh rate, and if a TV supports UHD30 it will always support UHD24 (although it is not a rule, merely a reflection of reality). A TV can only support C4K24 in 1.4, but it doesn't have to. There are many TVs that will support UHD24 or UHD24-30, but not C4K at all. So the practical limit of HDMI 1.4 is "up to 4k30."
HDMI 2.0, which the Mac Pro does not have [yet], provides dot clocks up to 600MHz (although above 340MHz, they are all divided by 4) and allows "up to 4k60" for pixel encodings of RGB444, YCC444, and YCC422. The new standard also allows 4k50/60 to use YCC420, which sacrifices some color information (known as 'uses chroma subsampling') but allows the data to be transferred at the same rate as 4k30. While "fine" for video--since it was probably delivered over BD/DVD or streaming at YCC420 to begin with--it is not fine for you computer's output.
I just got a 4k TV because I was tired of my dual 1920x1200 DisplayPort monitors after coming from the original 30" Cinema display of 2560x1600. Specifically, I used to enjoy >1080 pixels tall. But here's the problem with the 4k TV: while it has HDMI 2.0 inputs, the MacPro has only HDMI 1.4 so the output is limited to "up to 4k30". Moving the mouse is laggy and not smooth as it would be if the display were 60Hz. Furthermore, the MacPro is not offering me a choice between UHD or C4K--both of which the TV supports--and is instead defaulting to the largest resolution of C4K. This means the refresh is only 24Hz. And that's why I'm in the forums today--to see if there's a way to get my output to be UHD, but at 30Hz.
In a couple months, several companies will be selling DP-to-HDMI2 dongles that will support 4k60. So I am holding my breath until then.
Now, to specifically and accurately answer your question: Out the current MacPro's HDMI 1.4 port, you will get the highest resolution your TV (called the Sink) will support. If your TV has C4K24, then that is what will show up. If your TV does NOT have that, but has UHD24-30, you SHOULD get UHD30. If your TV ONLY has UHD24, then that's what you will get. If you get a TV, the chances are really, really good that the panel will have 3840 pixels across and 2160 lines down. In this case, you want the Mac to output that resolution and put the TV into pixel-for-pixel mode so every input datum is mapped to a single display element. Since most displays overscan, the Full mode will expand the incoming data from 2-5% which can eliminated the crispness (and also cut off the extremes of the Desktop). Also, if you are outputting C4K (like I am) AND you have switched to P4P mode, the horizontal dimension is shrunk by 6.6%.
If any of this is unclear, just reply. But I will say that this 40" TV is really useful, and once it is running at 60Hz...bellisima!

30-inch Apple Cinema Display on Mac Mini 2010

I recently went around to look for a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. I found out that if I use it with the new Mac Mini 2010, the resolution is somewhat pixelized. From what I know the Mac Mini's Mini DisplayPort supports for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution.
Base on the 30-inch max resolution, its 2560 x 1600. Did I get this right?

Did I get this right?
Yes, if you're using a dual-link DVI adaptor. If you're using a single-link one, the maximum resolution on a 30-inch display is 1280 by 800.
If you're using a dual-link DVI connection at the correct resolution, check the Zoom setting in the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done. Please help. Thanks.

my mac book pro 17 inch , 2008 year , display went dark after rebooting from origianl disc, and the steps in "everthing Mac" book did not work, any ideas?

The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

Leads to Connect 24-inch Apple LED Display to my PowerPC

Click here for one. The link is to a PDF. Aside from a converter such as this, a graphics card with a Mini DisplayPort is needed.

30 inch Apple Cinema Display-system prefs not showing native resolutions

The 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, seems to be working fine with the mac pro, but when I try to hook up the 2009 mini, the display preferences do not show the mini's native resolution of 1920x1200. The maximum it shows is 1280x800, and only gives a few other choices. This mini had once been attached to a TV monitor, so I am wondering if that has something to do with the lack of choices in the system preferences. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the system preferences to display the correct info so that I can adjust the resolution ?
Thanks

Being compatible with the 24-inch Cinema Display and being able to use it at resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 doesn't necessarily mean that it can drive the 30-inch Cinema Display at its full resolution. You need to use a dual-link DVI connection as stated above.

I've plugged my ipod classic into my mbp 13 inch with retina display but I can't sync or charge it ?

I recently purchased a macbook pro 13 inch with retina display, am having a great time coming over from Windows! I went to try and sync my ipod today for the first time but unfortunately I cannot charge or sync my ipod when connected. I'm using the standard connector that came with my ipod classic and tried both usb ports on the macbook but have had no luck. I tried looking for the ipod as well on the computer but I can't see it .
I'm pretty sure I've done everything correctly, but am still trying to get used to using my macbook so have probably overlooked something !

HI Matt542, and welcome to the community.
Did you transfer your iTunes library over to the new mac? If not, you should because once the Mac recognizes your iPod it is going to delete the music on it unless you have transferred the old library.
Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library. If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first. Here are a few ways to do it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

Internal drive for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display from late 2013?

Hi everyone. After some water spillage to my new computer, the guys at the Apple Store have told me that my internal hard drive needs to be replaced. No other damage was done, thankfully. I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display from late 2013. The Apple genius said my current hard drive has flash storage, and that my new hard drive will need that as well as the computer requires it. Does anyone know where I can buy such a hard drive? Is it possible to buy it from Apple? I am happy to buy online or in a store (I live in Australia). Also, is this Mac Pro model difficult to take apart? I'd like to install the hard drive myself.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

My Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display crashes sometimes when connected to an external monitor

My almost-new Macbook Pro 15-inch with retina display goes black and shuts down sometimes when connected to my external monitor. (The first time it did this was when connected to a projector.) They have replaced the motherboard but it still happens sometimes. The computer and monitor both come back on after a few seconds.

Two ADC 17" mac displays w/Mac Pro?

I have a pair of the older 17" Mac displays with ADC connectors. I used them with my old MDD G4, which came with a video card that had DVI and ADC connectors. So, I obviously had to buy an ADC/DVI converter so I could use the DVI port that the computer came with (one of the monitors just plugged into the ADC.)
Now that I have the new Mac Pro, with two DVI connectors on the card, does anyone think there would be a problem buying another ADC/DVI converter so I can use two monitors with the Mac Pro? I just wanted to make sure.

"• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
• One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
• When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays

Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
Samsung monitors are also good.

Change MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display in MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display

I bought a 15-inch MacBook a month ago, I would change the MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display in MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display... is possible? and how much will it cost?

Thanks! but there is a problem, I'm Italian and I live near Milan, and certainly I find it hard to send my mac. An Apple Store will not do this type of intervention?
