Dual external displays but different resolutions--why?

I have a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina. I have two identical HP Pavilion 22bw monitors attached via the display ports. One has satisfactory resolution, one does not. They display the same settings. I do not understand why one looks so different.

Hi joegage,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with one of your external displays. If they are identical monitors with identical settings, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful in isolating the issue:

  • Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

    Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
    I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
    And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

    You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
    Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

  • External display has 1440x900 resolution but is not available

    I've replaced my external display with a 19" LG widescreen (VGA) which claims to have a 1440 x 900 resolution available. However it does not come up as a possible resolution in the display prefs. LG couldn't shed any light on the matter saying it was down to the drivers and that 1440 x 900 was available in this model. I bought it specifically because the resolution matches the laptop screen.. anyone help?

    Hi Andrew,
    what was the resolution of your former external display ?
    Maybe the parameter of your formal display are interfering with your the ones for your new LG.
    Try a PRAM reset according to this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Since Display and video settings such as refresh rate, screen resolution, number of colors are stored in the PRAM, maybe it helps.
    Make sure that the new display is not connected when doing the reset.
    regards
    Stefan

  • MacBook Pro and External Display on full resolution

    I want to use only my external 20" cinema display, connected to my MBP. So what I do is connect the display via the DVI cable, close the lid of the notebook, wake it up from the keyboard/mouse (now I have the full resolution of the Cinema Display), open the lid so I can use the keyboard and the trackpad. This is all right with me, but when I restart or after sleep MacBook's display turns on and is set up as primary and the Cinema Display goes to Dual View mode. Is there a way the laptop to remember the external Display as primary, so I don't always have to close the lid, wake up the laptop and open the lid.
    For instance, when I've done this for the first time in Windows, I didn't have to do it again. Now every time I log in in Windows, the macbook's display automatically turns off and the Cinema Display gets its full resolution. This is what i want to be done when I boot in Mac OS.

    I know both scenarios (OS X/Windows), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as your internal display is open while waking from sleep or booting up, it will be always on in OS X. I'm only using my external Cinema Display and keep the MBP's lid closed all the time. Of course, I use an external keyboard and mouse as well. You can only choose which display has the menu bar on it, but you can't turn it off without sleeping the Mac. In Windows the ATi/Nvidia drivers take care of your settings, but it won't be applied until you get to the Desktop, so you'll still have the internal display on while booting Windows...

  • Multiple displays with different resolutions

    The system is setup with two non-mirrored displays with the following resolutions: A) 1024x768 and B) 1280x1024 arranged as BA with A the menu'd display using an ATI 9000 Pro for Mac. During startup, approximately once inch worth of the menu's right items momentarily appear on the right side of display B 768 pixels down from the top. This problem only occurs in this BA configuration of differing resolutions and is independent of graphics cards (substituted the 9000 Pro with a mirror only AGP Navidia card and a mirror only PCI ATI Rage card combination which gave the same result). This problem first appeared using MacOS 10.3 which displayed several inches of menu instead of only an inch under MacOS 10.4. Anyone else seen this problem?
    Dual 800 MHz QuickSilver   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Over the weekend, I explained this problem to one of the Apple Geniuses at an Apple store and then was able to duplicate the issue using a lap top and attached monitor in the store (not the same resolutions as my system; but, screens of similarly different resolutions). I raise this issue again because, as of late, additional things have been happening and I wonder if these are related to the core issue of an expanded desktop with two different screen resolutions. All of the widgets on the larger resolution screen desktop are drawing in the menu located in the smaller resolution screen when hitting the "i" to gain access to its control panel; however, not effecting the menu at all when moved to the smaller resolution screen. The other has to do with screen savers periodically blanking both monitors (as though the graphics card went to sleep) or having both monitors lose syncing (first occurrence today) where a cold start is required to bring the monitors on line again (I am going to have to figure out a way to test if the system is actually sleeping or the monitors have only gone blank before cold starting the system).

  • I have an external display, but the screen ratio is messed up in games.

    I've got:
    - A new MacBook Pro 15" with Lion (a month old maybe), it's the 2.2 GHz one (with 8 GB RAM)
    - A Samsung Syncmaster BX2235 screen, working at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels
    - A VGA connector to plug the Syncmaster in to the laptop.
    My problem:
    When I normally use my laptop with my external display in Lion it supports 1920x1080 without a problem (see photo 1), when I watch a movie in full screen too, but as soon as I start up a game (any game: WoW, TF2, Worms, etc) in full screen and I set the resolution to 1920x1080 it'll mess up the screen (see photo 2). I'm not sure if you see it at first glimpse but there are black bars at both the left and the right side of the screen, the left one is bigger than the right one.
    Anyway in WoW there is a function that you can run the game in Windowed but still Full Screen. When I do that I can access the top OSX bar (the one with the clock), and click on the display icon. It now shows there are 2 versions of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (see photo 3). If I click the one that isn't checked, it'll fix the screen and I can view the game on this display exactly the way I want it.
    I had an older MacBook Pro (from 2009, 15", 2.8GHz Dual Core) running Snow Leopard, I played some of the same games on that and I NEVER had problems with this screen. I gave it to my sis so I tested it again and there are still no problems.
    Now naturally my question is: what is the problem and how can I fix it?

  • Lion, Dell External Display, no higher resolutions !!!!!

    Hi,
    Apologies if this is the wrong area for this to go into... but i think this is a problem with Lion rather than anything else.
    Recently got a new MacBook Pro 15" (woo hoo !!!) and its running Lion.
    When i go into the System Preferences > Display, the highest resolution is showing up as 1680x1050. That's fine.
    Now when i plug my Dell 3007WFP external monitor into the laptop the maximum resolution that i can select is 1280x800. It recognizes the display, but just doesn't have the higher resolutions for me to be able to select.
    I didn't have this problem with my old 17" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on what the problem might be, and how i can fix it ???
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions...
    Silver

    Update...
    Found the solution to the problem...
    Basically, its nothing to do with Lion or a fault on the MacBook Pro...
    All new Macbook's ship with the Thunderbolt port. So if you want to plug an external display in which is 30" or more then you need to use a Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter. I was using a Mini Display to DVI adaptar, so i was basically getting half the resolution (1280x800) !!! Now with the dual link, i have full 2560x1600 glory !!!
    Liink to the device at Apple Store... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Hope that helps someone else who has the problem.

  • MacBook Pro sees external display but no output

    mini display port to DVI and with HDMI adapter works fine
    mini DP to VGA adapter will see VGA monitor (tested on 5 different monitors) but will not display anything on external display. Newer displays just go into power saving mode and older VGA displays just are blank. Even tried DVI to VGA adapter on mini DP to DVI adapter with same issue. I'm guessing I have no analog output from the DP port. tried the SMC and PRAM reset with no results.

  • Mac OS X 10.7.4 ARD Issues When Observing/Controlling Computers with Display Mirroring/Different Resolutions

    As if Macs in an enterprise environment could be more difficult to manage, now since our upgrade to OS X 10.7.(4) I have lost the ability to remotely control numerous Macs in our organization. The issue occurs when attempting to control a Mac running OS X 10.7.(4) that has their Display mirrored and the resolution does not match on both displays. What happens is that I can see the remote screen however it does not fill the entire Observe/Control window. Instead, the remote screen takes up about 50% of the window, the rest is black but sometimes will display a mirror image of the remote screen in the black area. What?! Yeah, I've attached a screenshot because this is ridiculous. The real problem is that I cannot control the computer when it has reached this state, the mouse no longer functions properly, it is not clicking where I place the mouse, etc. I have made sure that I have all updates including ARD Client/Server updates. I even tried VNC but as I have come to find out that is a whole other issue (doesn't work, sends me to the login screen, etc).
    So here's what I need:
    - A patch that is going to fix this issue
    - A script to run that is going to change the remote screen resolution (I still have the ability to run remote scripts, etc. simply not Observe/Control)
    Ideas?
    <Image Edited by Host>

    I found a way to work around this issue.  Not a fix but a work around.
    This is little application some one wrote to toggle mirroring on and off.
    Mirror Displays
    If you put this application in the client computer's /Aplications folder
    you can use ARD or SSH to run the app and switch modes.
    The problem only occurs for me when a client is set to mirror dissimilar displays with different aspect ratios.
    I am only seeing this in Lion 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
    Hope it helps someone....

  • How To Run Dual External Displays

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro 13". I am wondering if it is possible to run dual external monitors? I have the MiniDisplayPort To DVI adapter, works great with one monitor, but can I run dual? Thanks.

    You could try plugging in this USB adapter, it says you can plug in up to six per computer. If you want two externals, you should only need one of those USB adapters because the first monitor should be plugged into your superior onboard DisplayPort.
    Just bear in mind that when you use these USB adapters, the top resolution supported will be lower than the DisplayPort and also it will be a lot slower. Playing games or editing video/animation might not work well on the adapters as cheap as you want.

  • Dual External Displays?

    Is there anyway to get dual external LCD's working with the macbook? If so please let me know, thanks.

    Sort of
    Not really but here is a device that will simulate that
    Matrox DualHead2Go
    And you can read about some experiences with it here:

  • EliteBook 8470p Dual External Display Max Resolution

    I am currently using a docked HP Elitebook with two external monitors at (1920x1200) with no issues.  I wanted upgrade to two 4k external monitors (3840x2160). Does anyone know if the Elitebook can handle this?

    Either DVI or DisplayPort will drive that resolution, though you may need to use a dual-link DVI adapter.
    DisplayPort is a newer technology and offers the same resolution support as DVI.

  • Problem driving dual external displays on wakeup

    I posted the following here back in February and it was archived without resolution (one other subscriber noted having this problem too). Still having this difficulty so I'm reposting ...
    I am having occasional irregularities with my Mac re-driving a dual-display setup either waking from sleep or after a normal energy-saving screen shutdown.
    The setup: a new MacBook Pro 15" with Snow Leopard. Normally I work with the cover closed using two Acer external monitors, both connected via DVI. The main monitor (H - arranged horizontally) is connected via the Apple mini-to-DVI adapter. The secondary monitor (V - arranged vertically) is connected via an Iogear USB 2.0 External DVI Video Card, attached to the machine via a Belkin USB hub.
    The problem: sometimes when I wake the machine, or come back to it after the monitors have been powered down, the H screen will present nothing but snow - a complete black-and-white pixelation effect. Sometimes this will stop and the login prompt appears and all is normal. More often I have to wait for the monitors to power down again, then try to wake them. Sometimes this clears it, other times not. In the worst case I can not get the monitors redriven and have to open the machine and effect a restart.
    I have also noticed at times that the Mac seems to forget about one or the other monitor, driving just one and moving all the windows over to it. Again, have to restart to bring everything back in line.
    Sometimes I can go weeks without this occurring, and other times it will happen nearly every time.
    The Mac OSX software is up to date and as far as I can tell I have the latest Iogear driver (although it's not the Iogear-attached monitor that pixelates).
    Any thoughts on what might be wrong, or what steps I can take to diagnose the problem?

    This question was never really answered but I reposted it since it was moved to archive.

  • Mirrored LCD displays with different resolutions - what happens ?

    Hiya - I'm looking to buy a mac mini & use two existing displays that I own:
    a) A 1920x1200 monitor as my desktop, and
    b) A 1024x768 LCD television for fullscreen video playback via Quicktime & DVD player
    ... the displays will be in different rooms, so I don't want to extend the desktop over both monitors.
    However the guy in the Apple store told me that if I mirror the desktops that OS X will NOT let me use my 1600x1200 monitor @ it's native resolution - that OS X will pick the lowest common resolution available between the two screens.
    Is this real ? Any way around this ?
    Thx - Dave

    ... So if that's what you want, why are you saying that isn't what you want?
    Because the two screens will be in *different rooms* - if anything other than fullscreen video opens on the second screen then I've got to try to drag it to the first screen without looking @ the screen @ the same time - it ain't easy.
    I very much understand what OS X is trying to do - it makes sense, but in my case it's annoying. Plus I'm able to do what I'm trying to do here in Windows & Linux (it's tricky, but doable).
    Given all I want to do on the second screen is show fullscreen video maybe what I'll do is disable the second monitor when not in use via switchresx or something - I guess this gives me enough of what I'm looking for. Not great, but (possibly) usable.
    Thanks for your confirmation of OS X's behavior

  • I've connected my macbook pro (os 10.6.8) to an external display, but it will not go into clam shell mode!  When I close the lid the laptop goes to sleep, and I am unable to wake it using the external keyboard or mouse.

    A rundown of what I've tried:
    Adjusting energy settings to try to prevent sleep
    Pluging the USB keyboard and wacom tablet directly into the laptop (as opposed to a usb hub)
    My laptop's power cable is connected
    My display (a Vizio TV) is recognized in the System Preferences panel
    I'd been using this TV for about a year with my older Macbook Pro (OS 10.5.8), though using a different wireless keyboard and mouse
    ***Update:  The issue seems to lie with the keyboard and wacom tablet.  I am trying to use a wireless Case Logic keyboard (with dongal) and wired wacom tablet to wake the Macbook Pro in clamshell mode.  To experiment, I tried using my Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse set (also dongal) that I had been using before and it wakes the computer without any problems!  However, I really need to be able to use my wacom tablet.  If I switch to the tablet after waking the computer using the Logitech keyboard & mouse it works, but once the computer sleeps it won't work anymore.  I could keep switching back and forth I suppose, but it's sort of a pain.  There has to be an easier way!  Any ideas why the wired wacom tablet is unable to wake the computer in clamshell mode?
    Thanks!

    So your keyboard or mouse won't wake the Mac when you close the lid correct? Try resetting the SMC and pram
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
