Dual Display....Say it isn't So

So I was getting ready to buy a new Mac Pro and 2 24 inch Displays with a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB
The I read the message below and see an issue.... Is apple for real?
Note: Connecting two 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Displays requires an additional NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card. Connecting two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays requires a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Video Adapter.

"I'm looking to replace my MBP with a new MacPro. What is the advantage in HD video editing for the better video card? Does a card do anything to speed up rendering or is it solely affecting playback?"
Not much, in fact, the ATI cards (2600) in the older Pro were a bit more efficient than having the 8800 GT (the better of the card options) for editing. I own a video editing company and been using FCP for several years now. Video rendering is mainly a process of the CPUs not the GPUs. Your CPU choice, RAM amount, and speed of hard drive/scratch drives will have a significantly bigger impact on your editing experience than your choice of video cards. In fact, I would say if you are a video editor, don't spend the extra money. As far as playback, if it's video you're talking about, it has already been rendered....all of todays cards are fine for video playback. No difference. Games on the other hand...CAD work, etc, will all have a bigger performance boost with the premium card choices.
"Re: the three monitors. I can currently run a 1080p plasma off the dvi on my MBP if I use a dvi/hdmi adapter, but then need to switch out cables to use my 2 desktop lcd's. If I go with 2 GT 120's, would I be able to run my two desktop lcd's off one card and the plasma off the other? " Yes. Just remember, all the new Pro's graphic cards have ONE display port out. So you will at least need one DP-DVI connector (assuming your desktop LCDs are DVI). You will run the Plasma the same way as you did...DVI-HDMI, on your MBP from the other GT 120.
Even though I do video and audio editing for a living, I did choose the 8800 GT on my Mac Pro a year ago. I did so because I enjoy gaming, knowing that I would be choosing the less efficient card (according to benchmarking) for video editing.
YMMV
Jer
And if so, what's the downside to using these entry-level cards instead of the 4870?

Dual displays problem

Hi,
I just bought two new displays (2x BenQ FP222, 22" widescreen) to use with my new Mac Pro 2.66 (GeForce 7300 GT), but here's the problem: When only the first display is turned on the computer is fine, but when both displays are switched on the picture on both displays goes black every few seconds and then comes back.
I have connected both displays to the computer via 5-metres DVI-cables, which my dealer said would be ok. I understand that I only have the standard graphics card, but as far as I know that shouldn't be a problem unless I try to use dual 30 inch displays.
It sounds to me like it could be a problem with the computer not having enough power to run the two displays (they both use 1680x1050)? Or could it be a faulty DVI-cable?
Has someone got any idea what might be the problem?

Have you updated the firmware on the nvidia to the latest? Just a thought, but to your comment about powering all the cards...... the power supply will give only 5 volt for each PCI interface rail. The monitors get their power from the AC outlet. As robust of a machine the Mac Pro is, I doubt it will have any issues powerwise even if all of the slots are full. The ATI card requires an additional power cable because it is a much faster card and requires more power than the slot it is in can give it. The nvidia card is smaller and has no fan, only a heatsink. It isn't drawing near the current that the ATI card will, and I haven't seen many, if any posts about dual displays not working on the ATI. Flickering, yes...... but not that it doesn't work. I agree with the other folks that have posted, it's a hardware issue with your video card, or the cables used to hook up the monitors, or possibly the displays are not standard in the way they use the DVI signal.... You can troubleshoot by trying your known good Apple CD on each DVI output, then place it on one DVI and try the BenQ on the other DVI. Make sure you power down in between your tests. This is to make sure you don't blow something, and the video card can reset itself to which display is hooked up. Do either of the BenQ displays work with DVI on either output?..... once you layout your results, you may see a pattern that will help you explain the problem to Apple. I think they may need to send you a replacement video card, but I'm not there to see what is happening. Playing out the scenarios you tested usually makes them pay attention, instead of calling and saying it doesn't work. They put all these issues into a database that they search when customers call with issues. Wow, have I been long-winded!
Good luck

According to the copy&paste from wikipedia, HDMI should support higher resolution than 1920x1200. So the question is, does it aupport that on the mid 2011 mac mini. It says in the specifications
"Mac mini is designed to work with HDMI devices that comply with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.4 of the HDMI specification."
That should mean it should be able to support it, but I don't know : <

Dual Display, 2 Monitors - Extended Desktop

Hello Everyone:
There isn't a clear cut answer or solution in connected a Macbook Air to 2 external monitors in an attempt to create an extended desktop. I have read older posts that it's either doable or not doable. My questions are the following:
-Is it possible to connect a new Macbook Air to 2 external monitors for extended desktop purposes?
-Some users have reported lag issues (mouse dragging , delays, etc.). Will this happen for sure with a Macbook Air or is it a monitor issue?
-What's the best non-Apple monitor brand that would work best with a Macbook Air for dual display purposes? I've read that Dells have a problem in this regard.
-What would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a dock station in setting up a dual display environment? Would this add to the lag, latency factor?
I'm thinking of investing in a new Macbook Air, but I want to make sure I dont end up with silly issues - such as latency, monitors, etc.
Thank you for all your help and advise.
Best,
G.

Yes, extended desktop works with monitors set to differant resoultions. the Monitors pref pane allows you to select relative arrangements and rez of all monitors composing the extended desktop.
personally I run a dell CRT at 2304 X 1728 @ 60Hz along with an NEC 6FG a 2048 X 1280 @ 60Hz off a radeon 9800pro on an MDD.

Dual Displays, not enough firewire ports?!

My MacPro isn't here yet...and I only have 1 cinema display right now but plan on adding a 2nd one in a few months.
In my anticipation for the Mac to be dropped of by FedEx, I noticed something while reviewing the specs...
My video card, the ATI Radeon X1900, has two DVI ports (so I can do two 23" or whatnot). If I use the my 23" Cinema Display, I can plug in the USB, the Firewire & the DVI connector.
However!! If I get a 2nd 23" Cinema Display, there's room for another DVI port and USB but NO firewire port. There's only ONE 400 FW port on the back of this machine?!?!
What do you all do if you're dual displaying it w/ Apple displays??

Well, the Firewire cable/port in the monitor is only there as a hub/extender, it doesn't affect the working of the monitor itself. So you can always attach the cable from the second monitor into the Firewire port of the first monitor. It depends how many other Firewire devices you need to add.

Dual display help for a recently converted mac user

I have a 24" Intel IMac and I wanted to set up dual displays. I may have jumped the gun a little because I didn't do much homework but I found a big cheap monitor at Best Buy which is an HP w2338. I bought that and the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I hooked everything up and both monitors work but I have a couple small issues that I can't seem to find how to fix. First, I have about a 1.5 inch strip along the left side of my hp monitor that isn't used at all. It is just a black strip that taunts me. When I drag things from my IMac to my HP it drags fine, but it just acts like the monitor is smaller than it is. The resolution on my IMac is set to 1680x1050 and on my HP it is 1920x1080. Second, I have very faint vertical stripes in my new HP monitor. They can be seen the best in the grey parts of my windows. Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated.

On your 24-inch iMac's screen, the native resolution is 1920x1200. You can use a lower resolution, but the display will seem a bit fuzzy (the pixels are being approximated). So you should use 1920x1200 on the iMac's screen, unless you have a good reason to use something else.
On the HP display, it sounds like the native resolution is 1920x1080. That's the resolution of an HDTV, so it should work. However, when you connect an HDTV, it connects with a digital connection, HDMI. So I think it will work if you connect it HDMI. If that monitor happens to have DVI, use DVI.
If it only has VGA and HDMI, there was a recent topic that was very similar (same display I think). Is your iMac the older model (not the brand new 2009 model) with a Mini-DVI port? If so, take a read there to see if the information is applicable to your situation.

Now, if that display you have is different, and it has a DVI connector, please post back.

Another dual display problem - GeForce FX 5200

I've seen lots of questions about dual display problem, situation when trying to connect two non-apple vga displays to your graphic card.
I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card, with 2 display output's. And two DELL 17" vga LCD displays.
I manage to connect 1 display regulary with dvi to vga converter, but for other display I tried several difrent converters ADC to DVI to VGA, and it just did NOT work.
G5 could see other display in display settings, in arrange option I coud see two identical displays, but I don't get anu picture (desktop) on other display???
Is it problem with output's on my graphic card (Gforce FX 5200), could it be soloved with some ADC to VGA converter?
P.S. Dr. Bott ADC VGA Extractor is not compatible with GeForce FX 5200????

Colour management warning for dual display users

For those of you who require a colour managed workflow and have more than one display, be very careful in Mountain Lion. It appears to have a bizarre bug where images loaded and shown on the primary display (e.g. in Preview) are initially rendered with the colour profile from the secondary display, or something along those lines. Dragging the display window to the secondary display and back again sorts things out. I've filed a bug report.
If your two (or more) monitors have the same colour profile, you won't have a problem. The only workaround I can see is to set your least important display(s) to all have the same profile as your (probably calibrated, if these things matter to you) primary display, at least until (if?) the bug gets fixed.
If you want to see it for yourself, set your two displays to differing profiles - e.g. NTSC (1953) on the primary and Wide Gamut RGB on the secondary. Then load an image into Preview - something with lots of shades of red "works" well for the colour profiles mentioned. Take a screenshot of the Preview window as a reference. Move the window to the secondary display; note the colour shift as it gets re-rendered. Now drag it back to the primary display. It'll look quite different compared to the screenshot you took earlier, despite the fact it's the same image being shown by the same application on the same display in the same window... All you did was drag the window between two monitors and back again.
It doesn't seem to matter if the image in question has a colour profile embedded in it or not. When comparing with your screenshot, feel free to drag the screenshot between the monitors too - after all, it'll be suffering the same rendering bug! You'll still see a different result; in fact it may even be magnified by the accumulated rendering errors.
Preview isn't the only application affected; I've seen identical issues under harder to replicate circumstances in Safari, for example.
Given this fault and others I've seen with colour rendering in Lion, plus several new bugs found in Mountain Lion, I'm afraid that if a colour managed workflow is important to you - well - Snow Leopard or Windows...?! Ugh, what a mess

I've encountered many of the same woes with color management being a graphic designer, but here's my issue:
Have a 15" (Early 2011) Macbook Pro. It is turned on with me hooked up to my Dell U2410 and display open for a dual display configuration. The Dell is my primary monitor.
I then unplug my MBP to use it around the house. I go to plug it back into the Dell for my dual monitor. I notice that the color on the Dell looks good, but now the MBP has a very blue color temperature. Like moving from the preconfigured 'Color LCD' profile to 'sRGB' which definitely shifts to a blue color on the MBP.
I check the color profiles in System Settings and the Color profiles are correct. 'Dell U2410' for my Dell and 'Color LCD' for my MBP. But as I said, it's much bluer than standard. I try to change the color profiles around on the MBP and no matter which I select it's always the same color with no shifts I would expect to see.
Only solution I have found is to restart my computer. Upon restarting all is well again in the world.
It's pretty annoying having to restart my computer everytime I plug it back into my workstation with Dell and keyboard.
Related note: USB does not work when I plug things back and again have to restart to fix this.

How to Dual Display with Dell U2711

Hi,
I am looking to connect my iMac (late 2013) to a Dell U2711 in a dual display configuration. I'd like to be able to use all 2560x1440 pixels of the Dell.
the Dell has DVI-D (dual channel), Displayport (not mini displayport), HDMI and VGA.
which port will give me the cleanest picture and best performance and what cable do I need to buy ? (obviously thunderbolt to something...)
thanks !

Your disk is already partitionned so you don’t have to choose between GPT or MBR, the choice is already made.
You don’t partition “C:”, that is the name of a Windows partition. You partition a drive.
Grub or syslinux, use whatever the beginners guide tells you to. Personally I think syslinux is simpler which is why I’m using it (but I’m not dual-booting, if that matters).
You’re not saying what your problem is with partitionning, so it’s hard to help.
Thanks for getting back to me, I'm not sure if I just create one large partition for Archlinux or if I have to create multiple? Where I'm also confused is with the Creating Filesystems part of the guide. I don't understand how I'd do this in Windows, or what /dev/sda1 is referring to.
As for the bootloader part, the Beginner's Guide gives you a choice between syslinux and grub, what I'm not sure about is which to use considering I'm dualbooting. How it will affect my windows bootloader, do I disregard that and use GRUB now? I'm unclear on how that works.
I'm also aware I need to disable Secure Boot, I just searched my BIOS options and couldn't find anything remotely relating to that, so I'm assuming it's not an issue since this computer was originally on Windows 7 anyway?
Thanks again, Expi.

Dual Display Problems - No Signal After Sleep

So, I just set up my hexacore Mac Pro with stock ram and the ATi 5870. To go along with it, I purchased two Dell U2311H monitors from Dell so that I could finally have dual displays. I then purchased two 6' minidisplayport to displayport cables from Monoprice. Also went with the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse.
Upon initial start-up, everything worked fine. The monitors needed to be calibrated, but dual display mode worked perfectly without any extra steps. I had some fun messing around for a little bit and then decided to take a break. I put the computer to sleep.
I came back 15 minutes later (couldn't stay away for long), and clicked the mouse to wake the computer back up. I heard the tower humming, but the monitors stayed black. I tapped the keyboard. Still black. Assuming it was some issue I wasn't prepared for with the wireless peripherals, I futzed around with them for a while and had no luck. Still not image on the monitors. I turned the monitors off and then back on only to get an error message explaining that the monitor was in Power Save mode. Some further exploration revealed that the monitors were allegedly getting NO SIGNAL from the computer.
Restarting didn't help any. The only thing that has "worked" is shutting down the computer and connecting a single monitor through the DVI-D cable that came with it. I can then reconnect the displayport cable and switch the input to re-establish dual displays, but this is obviously pretty annoying. It seems like I can eliminate questions with the monitors themselves or the cables. In doing some research, I've found some threads on different sites about people having similar dual display issues attributed to faulty graphics cards. I certainly hope this isn't the case, but I'm at a loss for what the problem might be. It seems odd that dual displays would work briefly only to fail after going to sleep for 15 minutes.
Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever. Is there something stupid that I'm doing wrong? Anyone have any insight?
Any guidance you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have the exact same issue. Here's the forum I've got going: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2686085&tstart=90
I called AppleCare because this issue was out of the box. Engineering wanted to capture some logger information so I ran the logger and sent it off to them.
I am running a Dell 27" via a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable (also purchased through Monoprice) and a Dell 22" via DVI to DVI (have also tried with the DVI to DVI cable connected to an Apple DVI-MiniDisplayPort adapter and the same issue arrises). When I boot the computer with any of these cables, I get no video. Only when I boot with a Dual-Link DVI (DVI-D) cable from the 27" monitor do I get any video on screen. At this point, I can then plug in the DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable and the regular DVI (not Dual-Link) after unplugging the DVI-D cable and I get video. If I restart the computer, no problem. However, if the computer goes to sleep or if I power down and then power back up, I am back to square one with no video and have to resort to using the Dual-Link DVI cable.
Because this was DOA out of the box, they ended up just RMA'ing the machine and re-ordering my CTO Mac Pro 6-core. Still waiting for it to be built, I'll let you know how it goes on the second machine when it arrives.

MSI GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP 8X - No Dual Display?

Hello! I have just purchased the MSI MX440-VTD8X based on GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP 8X. I have the latest drivers and everything but I’m unable to enable the clone option to have pictures on both my monitor and my TV. The option is grayed out. The TV connection is correctly connected. I can choose my TV as the primary display, it’s just that I cannot have dual display! Isn’t my card supposed to have this option? Here is a pic:

A previous poster (in a different thread) found that if the video card has both analog and digital monitor outputs, then for TV-out to function properly with the VIVO 4-port adapater, you need to connect your analog monitor to the digital output using the supplied digital-to-analog converter.
I have a new G4 MX440 VTD8X and had a similar issue to the one described here....the TV could not be detected by the video card when connected via RCA jacks (S-video worked, but could not CLONE the monitor). I moved my primary monitor from the analog to the digital port, and viola, the TV out functions perfectly now. :D

Can Mini Mac drive Dual Displays?

Intel web states "Two Serial Digital Video Out (SDVO) ports for flat-panel monitors and/or TV-out support via Advanced Digital Display 2 (ADD2) cards or Media Expansion Cards" for the GMA950 chipset. Does mini mac support this ADD2 card or any Media Expansion Cards?

As far as I know they had supported both Windows and Mac systems at the outset, though as the FAQ says, the unit is 'seen' by the host system as a single widescreen display, which does rather limit the sort of flexibility those of us that habitually use dual displays on systems that directly support them have been able to take advantage of.
One would also have to say that if the unit requires additional drivers to give it functionality, it is a rather more risky proposition than if it gives the necessary functions without needing any additional software, simply because if MacOS 'understands' it natively, it is highly probable it always will, while if it required drivers, MacOS will more than likely break some functionality over time as it updates.
Additionally, if one were to want mirrored displays, there are cheaper 'splitters' that would provide that functionality specifically, but where spanning is needed from a single VGA port, this appears to be the only viable solution for Macs (PC users have the additional option of USB video adapters). It clearly works as shown in the link I gave previously, but a prospective user would of course be wise to ensure that the Matrox device is capable of delivering the specific display configuration they have need of before purchasing.
Personally, if I were in need of dual head functionality before purchasing a system, I'd not generally look at a Mac mini as the system of choice to achieve it. However, if I already had a mini and a need to drive dual displays, this appears to be a reasonable way to achieve it, both technically and cost wise.

Wacom tablet on dual display dual card setup...

...and the cards are as follows, one Geforce GTX 460 (nvidia driver), one Radeon x1650 (radeon driver) As such, I have to use Xinerama and not RandR for my dual display setup. I have configured the driver to use my main display (Dell CRT on GTX 460) and the cursor shows up where it's supposed to, but when I draw, the cursor "splits" into two, the actual cursor, and the drawing cursor. The regular cursor moves as if it's on my main display, but the drawing cursor spans both desktops.
I've tried all kinds of things to make it work, no luck though.

MisterAnderson wrote:Honestly no clue how to help you, but I am interested in your setup. Are you using the proprietary drivers for your nvidia card and the opensource radeon for your ati? How did you get this setup working? I've been trying for ages!
If I remember correctly, I just used --nodeps and maybe --force when installing the nvidia driver, that way it didn't force me to uninstall the radeon driver when I install the nvidia driver. Then, look at my xorg.conf. there's no acceleration of any sort on the ati card, but I can use it for terminals and browser windows, text editors and the like. Can't watch flash videos on it though, and I don't think mplayer works on it either, I'm not at my arch box atm, so I can't verify that.
Also, as mentioned in my opening post, no composting either. The same setup works pretty good in Ubuntu with a similar config, but no compositing there either, Unity clones 1680x1050 of my main 2048x1536 display, can't split the desktops, and I just end up using Xfce4 because it handles Xinerma pretty well.. I have to turn off the compositing extension in the config on arch to get X to even start up.
:edit:
back in arch, should note that whenever I install a new package, I receive this warning. Everything still works tghough as I describes. And back on topic, anyone have any clue as to why my tablet behaves this way?

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.
