Dual Monitor (digital vs. analog) and LR2

I have both digital and analog on my video card. Where should I place the
main program on the digital or analog monitor?

> Where should I place the main program on the digital or analog monitor?
That would depend entirely on the quality of the monitor. Let us know more ... including how you intend to calibrate either (altho today's calib systems can generally do either, but sometimes not both).

How to use Dual monitors with G5 Mac; AND How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like wh

Two questions: How can I use my dual monitors on my G5 Mac?
How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like what it will print, just as it is
done in Photoshop with view>proof setup.

Still wondering what tool is available in LR 1.1 to "view proof"
As in Photoshop CS 3, and previous versions of PS, in view I can
choose the custom .icc profile of the printer, to view what the final
print will nearly perfectly appear like.
What tool is available in LR 1.1 to do the same?

Dual Monitors with GPU and Motherboard not working

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else could help me out.
So, I decided to hook up an old monitor of mine to my rig today and, lo and behold, the monitor isn't being detected by my computer.
I've already got a monitor running through my GPU (NVidia GTX 960) via DVI.
Currently tried connecting my second (old) monitor to my motherboard with DVI as well, but it isn't being detected.
I went into my bios and forced my integrated graphics on, but when I checked in the device manager, it said my VGA graphics adapter "Cannot start (Error Code 10)"
Also tried updating VGA graphics adapter drivers, but I had the latest drivers already.
I'm not sure if that's related to the issue, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning.
(What's also worth mentioning is that I'm a complete casual when it comes to computer building and such, lol)
Motherboard is a Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3, supports VGA, DVI and HDMI.
Monitor that I'm trying to connect supports both DVI and VGA.

A lot of the 960's don't have 2 DVI's. However most have an additional HDMI and DisplayPort. I recommend you get an adapter from amazon or something. Just make sure that it will convert HDMI or DP to DVI. Usually amazon products have a good amount
of questions already answered by buyers.
Interesting that they'd go that route, I guess I just assumed since my 760 has two.
I've set up dual monitors using one DVI and one HDMI before, but I ran into issues with screen sizing. Despite having two identical monitors set at the same resolution the mouse would not transmit over to the second monitor at the same height as it was on
the first, so I had to buy an adapter like Joshua suggested.

Thinkpad T420, Integrated Graphics, Dual Monitors

Warning: this isn't really a problem thread. I've looked and looked but can't find a definitive answer for my question.
I'm seriously considering a Thinkpad T420 for a new work laptop. I've heard great things from many people, but the most important question has yet to be answered: if I get one with integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000), will dual monitors work with VGA and DisplayPort with a DVI adapter? It's crucial that I'm able to use two external monitors simultaneously and I'm sick of using TwinView because I can't rotate a monitor. Can anyone confirm that this works?

according to tabook.pdf
Intel HD Graphics 3000 in processor,
external analog monitor support via VGA DB-15 connector and
digital monitor support via DisplayPort (supports single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915);
supports dual independent display;
Maximum external resolution: 2560x1600 (DisplayPort)@60Hz;
2048x1536 (VGA)@75Hz; 1920x1200@60Hz (single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915)
So, it looks like the hardware is certainly capable of it.

Dual Monitor problems.

Whenever I set up a second monitor, my computer crashes after about 5 minutes. Whenever one of my monitors is up, either one, it's fine. I'm running a G4, and a radeon 9800. I have an LCD studio display and a CRT Studio display. It's really nice to work with both monitors. Can someone please figure out what's happening?

I think I would swap the cables between the monitors first to see if it's a bad cable. Then swap between which ports the monitors are connected to to see if the problem is with the video card port or monitor. Then I would try a DVI to DVI cable.
Edit: Also try resetting the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379.
Using a DVI to VGA cable is really the poorest route to connect your monitors since the signal is converted from digital to analog and then back to digital. A DVI to DVI (or even HDMI) cable is a much better choice.

Monitor Profile incorrect on Dual Monitor Setup

Hello,
I've searched the forums and I can't find an answer to my problem. I've read about dual monitor setups in Windows and how to set the defaults and whatnot, but it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
I am running on an nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, Windows 7 x64, Photoshop CS4 x64. I calibrated my main display (Dell Vostro 1700) as well as the attached monitor (ASUS VK246H) using Datacolor Spyder3Elite. Both monitor profiles seem to load just fine. I've also went into Windows' color manager and set the system defaults for each monitor respectively. The problem I'm having is that if I were to load Photoshop on the 2nd monitor, Photoshop only uses the main display's color profile (Vostro 1700) and not the ASUS VK246H profile. What could be going wrong?
Just to clarify, what I mean by "loading PS on the 2nd monitor" is that when I execute Photoshop.exe, the splash screen and main window shows up on the 2nd monitor, not the main monitor (which is what I want).

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

What if the image is in between two monitors?
The piece on each display is corrected for the display it is on.
Is it supposed to work that way? Because it doesn't. Not with Photoshop CS5 x64 at least.
As a test I intentionally misconfigured the profile for my Monitor #1 (left) so that it's REALLY OBVIOUS which profile is being used. When set this way, on Monitor #1 red colors will appear pale orange.
An open document, floating in a window:
If COMPLETELY displayed on Monitor #1, Photoshop will use the Monitor #1 profile.
If even 1 pixel of the edge of the image is moved onto Monitor #2, it will use the Monitor #2 profile on the entire image.

Dual Monitors on Mac Mini Late 2014 not working on Dell S2340Lc

Hey guys,
Got a mac mini and using it mainly for work. Working for an ISP and no one has used macs and I've opted to be the poor sucker that gets to deal with old people that don't know how to mac very goodly.
I have two Dell S2340Lc monitors. I have one connected up via HDMI and that works perfectly fine. I turned off the mac, I plugged in Monitor 2 with a MiniDP/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, powered on the mac and whilst it was booting, it had the Apple logo and the loading bar on the Dell display plugged in to the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and then once it loaded up the log in screen, it went to the HDMI display. I logged in and in the displays section, the monitor plugged in to the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter isn't being detected, however I can plug it in to a Samsung 55 Inch Smart TV and it works just fine. I can set up dual monitors between the TV and the monitor in HDMI, but the Dell S2340Lc will only work with a HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the mac mini and will not work through the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter. On the display it just says that there is no signal coming from the computer.
Just wondering if any of you apple gurus had any ideas as to why this isn't working?
Thanks!

What if you switch monitors?
What happens if yo only have the Thunderbolt>HDMI>Dell monitor connected?

Server 2012 Dual Monitor Issue - Can't Get it to work properly.

I have a HP Proliant ML310e that runs Server 2012 R2. It came with an on-board VGA graphics adapter, that was using a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver and working fine.
Needing to run dual monitors, I contacted HP and purchased a Nvida K2000 PCIE graphics card. I installed it using their latest drivers and rebooted, making sure that the new PCIE card was enabled in the BIOS.
While booting, the server actually now displayed on the new 'second' monitor connected to the newly installed Nvida card. When I actually logged in and went into the display properties, it was only detecting the new display - I couldn't even force detect
the original display.
Also, when I go into device Manger, it now only shows the Nvidia graphics adapter - no longer shows that the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is present.
Any advice on how to get dual monitors to work on Server 2012. I did try the Windows/P Projector display, but that did nothing.
Thanks,

Hi,
You should check your BIOS settings - some motherboard will disable onboard display card once a PCI(E) card is plugged in. This is a hardware settings issue. If HP support is available, ask them for detailed configuration steps.

Dual monitors with macbook closed

i am running dual monitors with Macbook Pro and would like for my Macbook to be closed. How do I change that setting?

How do I change that to two separate extended screens.
I don't believe you can. Check with Matrox, but my understanding is that the external monitors running through the Matrox box will always function as a single extended desktop in two parts.
If you do check with Matrox about this, please post back with your findings — I'll be interested to know, whether I'm right or not.

Practical use for dual monitors in Lightroom

I am running Lightroom 2.1 in Vista 64 with 8 GB of Ram for those that will ask.
I have an EIZO CE240w monitor and a 21 cintiq Wacom tablet monitor that is connected on my ATI 4850 Video card on that PC.
How would others configure their monitors and how would they use each one to their benefit.
I'm just looking for suggestion since Lightroom 2 can now support dual screens... but why??
Mike

>For me Lightroom is almost unusable without a dual monitor setup (I use grid view on the smaller monitor and do all adjustments and other main work on the larger monitor), but it's also true that its support for dual monitors is somewhat primitive and seems a bit like an afterthought.
I'm a little baffled by this (and other) comments regarding Lr's dual monitor support. In what way is it unusable? Is it because you cannot tear off the panels and move then to another monitor? If Adobe chooses to implement this feature you will get no complaints from me but I use my dual monitor setup in Lr much differently than in Ps.
In Ps I move all my panels to my second monitor and use my main monitor exclusively for my images. I may work for hours on a single image and glance only occasionally at the second monitor, preferring keyboard shortcuts and mouse-click context menus to manipulate the image. However, when I need a quick glance at a panel there they are on the second monitor. In Ps the image is king.
In Lr, on the other hand, speed trumps everything else. It's all about dealing with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of images and doing it quickly. I set my panels to Solo mode and Auto Hide & Show. A quick Shift+G brings the grid view to my second monitor. My main monitor is all image. I often do not need to see the panels. For example, use the , and . keys to navigate through the Basic adjustments and tap the + and - keys to increase or decrease values. D for develop, E for loupe, C for compare, grid always on the second monitor. When I want the panels I want them close to the images and do not want to have my eyes wander to a second monitor. Everything fast, fast fast.
Hit G, loupe now on the second monitor, grid on the main. Shift+Ctrl+Alt+K to set a keyword shortcut, then Ctrl+Alt+K to paint the keyword across images. Ctrl+K to enter more keywords on the keywording panel. The panels nestled nicely near the grid. A click, the panel is gone. (I would however like to see the develop presets permanently on the second monitor.)
It's fast, fast, fast. Lr, Ps: two different beasts; two different workflows. Each uses dual monitors, each differently.

Advice: Mac Mini / Dual Monitors / PC Mac Configuration

Hey Guys, need some advice for a semi-switcher friend.
I have a business associate who has asked me the following questions and wanted some advice from the mac forum.
My friend's background is as professional web site developer. He is currently using Windows XP with dual monitors.
His boss is going to buy him a Mac Mini to work along side his PC. He wants to know what would work for dual monitor / PC / Mac Mini configuration.
Here are his questions:
"One, what do I need to do to run dual monitors on a Mac Mini since it doesn’t have another graphics card like my PC?"
"And two, what is the best way to use my dual monitors with my Mac and PC? Should I trash the PC and use Bootcamp/Parallels or use something like a KVM switch since the Mac doesn’t come with a keyboard or mouse?"
"I still need to be able to do testing with IE7 and Firefox (which I believe is different on a Mac than a PC), so that’s why I considered using Bootcamp or Parallels. (I prefer Parallels due to the rebooting of Bootcamp, but am wondering if I might experience any troubles otherwise and am better off with Bootcamp since it’s a Mac product and not third-party software. I’m neutral on this.)"
Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you in advance.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

There is one factor you might want to pass on to your semi-switcher friend in his consideration of a mac system.
There's a subtle difference between MacOS and Windows that can significantly impact on how well a Windows user adjusts to the Mac, particularly when used to dual head operation. Windows attaches a menu to each and every window (and application) whereas MacOS does not. While a Windows user only has to navigate to the menu bar at the top of each window, a MacOS user has to navigate to the single menu bar along the top of the screen (or primary screen if on a dual head system.
It's not a major issue, but for a pro used to simple and quick navigation off on the secondary display, having to navigate over to the top of the primary display to do something instead of quick flick up and done, there can be a small degree of frustration and a slight impact on workflow.
I hasten to add that with those I have seen make this very transition, the effects were short lived, but it leads to the thought that where the Mac is concerned, it might be marginally better to go for a single widescreen display than dual head.

Dual Monitor Advice

I have two monitors, one a Lacie 20" 1600*1200 which is designed for photo-editing and the other a 1600*1050 Samsung. Both are color calibrated. I'm new to Lightroom, currently trying V3 which i like a lot.
What I'd like is, does anyone have wide experience of dual monitors with light room and have a favourite setup for the LR3 panels? I'm thing that I'd view and edit images full screen on the Lacie. Any thoughts or ideas?

There's not a lot of customisation available in LR, sadly so LR is not able to take best advantage of the extra screen.
I often have grid on second screen and main image on Develop screen as you cannot do it the opposite way around like you can in Library mode, which would be my preference as it uses the space better. But I do also use a second larger image on panel free second screen as well at times too when developing. So you can have both panels out in develop and fill screen with image on second monitor - it also updates to reflect crop you are trying out on main screen when using crop tool, which is handy.
