Dual Screen monitor Question

I have desktop split across two monitors(1s a tv)
I've already setup Quicktime play in fullscreen on monitor two(tv) but I'd like to be able to have the second monitor turn off after a while when in fullscreen.
Is there any setting/plugin/app that'll do that for me?

turning of the first monitor isn't an option since i'm using an iMac

IMac - Dual Screen Monitors. Windows issue

Hi,
I have an imac 27inc and a 27inc led samsung side by side.
I have connected the samsung to my imac and the dual screen works perfectly in the Mac operating system.
However.
When booting up in windows (using bootcamp) the samsung has black borders around the screen and is not displaying a full image ?
Is there a fix for this ?
I have connected the imac and the samsung through HDMI.
Cheers,

I sounds like Windows is not correctly reading the screen's capabilities. There should be something like a Control Panel to reset the screen resolution to the screen's best native resolution.
With CRT's there was a huge expanse of phosphor on the inside of the tube, and you could fudge the resolution quite a bit. With LCD, you have one "best" resolution, and if you don't hit it perfectly, you get fuzziness or black borders.

Dual screen setup question with G4 17" and 23" Cinema!

I have a 23" Cinema display connected to my G4 17" laptop. I can't figure out how to run an Aperture slideshow on the 23" screen when hooked into my laptop and leave the main screen intact on the 17". It seems to always run on the laptop screen regardless of what settings I have used. The 23" works great in every other situation with Aperture.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I guess you have to set your 23" display as your primary display in System Preferences (dragging the Finder menu bar onto your 23" display) .
This might interfere with your wish to "leave the main screen intact on the 17".

External monitor simply not working - including with external dock (dual screen)

I can't get the external monitor (aka dual screen) to work on my T60 via the VGA port. My model is currently running Windows XP and has a ATI Radeon X1300 video card.
I'm 6 months out of warantee (although this problem started while in warantee but I can't convince Lenovo of that).
I've tried the following:
- ensuring "extend my monitor onto this desktop" in windows display properties
- disabling/enabling Presentation Director and trying all the schemes
- setting all different combinations of modes for resolution/colour on both (LCD + VGA) monitor
- trying two different monitors and cables (which did work with other computers)
- Updating the video drivers (from the Lenovo website) and Presentation Director to the latest versions
I then figured it might be a hardware fault, so I tried to see if the external monitor was activated on bootup. I made sure the "LCD + VGA" option on boot was selected in BIOS. Still no joy.
Finally, I figured the actual VGA connector was broken so I bought a compatible mini docking station (port replicator) and attached the VGA cable to that and even that didn't work.
What on earth could be wrong if it's not the software and not the VGA connector? The video card is working as its powering the LCD display?
Is my only option to give it in to repair (I can't afford that)?

Hi,
Does the external connections and cables work with another system. I'd do that first.
If all of it works with another system then it could be drivers or internal things but try that first.
There are some driver updates on the Lenovo site. Make sure your BIOS are updated and such.
Good Luck,
Yup, checked the cables and monitor with another system (actually with the same laptop using a USB->VGA adaptor which isn't a long-term fix)
Also updated to all the latest driver including a BIOS update (which I forgot to mention).
thanks,

New window opens in main monitor when using dual screen

I am using dual screens and my "main screen" is on the left. Ever since Firefox updated to 32.0.1 on Monday I've been having this issue. Before the update, I would have my main Firefox window opened on the left and, when I click on a link to open a new window, it would open on the right screen. Now, it will only open on the left screen, where the other window is. If I drag the original window to the right monitor and open a link, the new window will open on the right monitor. But once I drag the original window back to the left, new links will open in the left again.
Before if I had this problem, I would simply drag the new window to the right monitor, then back to the left and close it. Then click the link again and it would open in the right. Kind of a work around I guess. But since the update, even this will not work. Any suggestions? Or is this a new function of the updated version? Is there a way for me to go back to the previous version? Any help is appreciated!

Hi hollytotheg,
I understand that links opening in new windows are opening in the active screen, not on the right, second monitor.
This may be helpful: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/] the search recommends this.
However I would also recommend suggesting an enhancement in input about dual monitor new window restriction.

Can the T61 w/ Adv. Mini Dock do dual-screen laptop screen + external monitor?

I am moving from a desktop to a laptop w/ docking station.
I want to be able to drop the T61 into the dock and go dual-screen with the lappy screen (usually holding outlook open) and say a 19" LCD. Is this possible?
Would the Intel X1300 support a 19" LCD res?
I am most likely going with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, but just in case I changed my mind.. I would like to know.

Yes - all the T61s here using the Advanced Mini-Dock (including mine) and they all support dual-screen.
We use 24" Monitors with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 32 Bit and it looks teriffic.
If you dock and undock a lot I'd recommend using the ThinkVantage Presentation Director to set up your screens.
I think the nVidia is worth it.

Question about wide-screen monitor on Solaris x86

I have Solaris x86, version 10/2009 installed.
It works fine with any wide-screen monitor I plug in.
But when I use this 3rd party CAD/CAM software, any round
circle is being displayed as an oval shape. I believe that's because
on the wide-screen monitor, the width of the monitor is longer than the height.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to change so that I can view circles as true round circles instead of an oval shape? Thanks.

OK, I know what the problem is now.
But I need to change the resolution settings. Does anyone know how to change it on x86, version 10/2009?
I recall it being something like "kdmconfig"

Problem with dual screen (24" imac 2006 ver)

hi
i've got a 24" intel imac (2006 ver) and i've connected it using apple's mini-dvi => vga adapter to my 2nd 22" lcd monitor, a samsung 2232GW, which is set to 1680 x 1050.
however, the samsung lcd displays (when i'm using as dual screen) is quite blur and double imaged. quality is readable but very irritating. i'm also using the same monitor for my ps3 (uses the DVI side) and have no problem with any visual aspect. I've tried playing around with the settings like resolution and calibration and tuning but didn't help at all.
anyone might have any ideas and enlighten me on this issue?
thanks

Did you get any resolution to your question? I have the Samsung monitor almost like yours, and I posted two seconds ago. I think I have a similar problem. I had been using my Samsung with my PC, and just switched to Mac. I loved my Samsung, but now ,for the first time using as a second. Hooked up to mini dvi to dvi, and reported a glow, or tinge coming around any window that I may place on the Samsung.Also, when Ilook at the background around the window I can see that the resolution is not perfect and is breaking up a little. Did you try VGA? and did it help? Curious to know

Connect to VGA-flat screen monitor ?

my ibook G3 (dual USB) has a RGB display, out , I m not sure which adapter to get to have to connect to a standard dell VGA-flat screen monitor ?
second question:
how do you increase screen brightness? it is so dim,have to squint to see screen

It takes a VGA (RGB) cable to connect to an external monitor.

As for the second question, have you tried resetting the PMU? The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the backlight function, so resetting it may help.

Where is the dual screen mode in Dreamweaver Cloud?

There was a dual screen (NOT SPLIT SCREEN) mode available in Dreamweaver CS6. What happened to it in the cloud version?
Thanks,

No, I was talking about the design and code on separate monitors but I received the correct information after my question was moved to another forum.
Thank you

Dual Screens - can you do it on the Essential All in One?

I have a standard Essential all in one.
I thought it would be handy to run dual screens for something I am working on but cannot see a way to do this on the machine.
Is it possible?

TooltipText used with dual screen problem

Hi,
In my application I use a dual screen, so JComponent may be either on one screen or the other.
My problem is when the mouse rolls over a JComponent on the right screen, the Tooltiptext associated is displayed onto the left screen.
Any idea if I could display it automatically on the good screen or if I have to implement myself the display ?
Thx for advance

Dual screen on intel with compiz

Hi all
I've been trying to get compiz to work with dual screen on my fully updated Arch Linux laptop for a while now. It has an Intel card and I usually set up dual screen by using xrandr. This works perfectly under metacity but crashes X under compiz. If I try to set dual screen as the default in the gnome menu and then restart X, I get it under compiz but unusably slow. I have searched google but haven't been able to find a solution. I have reproduced this problem on two different intel based laptops. Has anyone been able to get a working dual monitor setup with compiz on Intel?

KVM Between Mac Mini and Dual Screen PC????

Hello All,
I was wondering if one of you has the answer this.....
For work I am now working remotely from home. I have a ThinkPad W520 with Dock and two 19" ViewSonic monitors both with DVI cables. Since space in my place is an issue, I want to share my sons desk wich has a Mac Mini with an HDMI to DVI cable to a 19" Monitor.
My question is......is there a KVM switch out there that will allow for my setup plus keyboard and mouse to be used with the Mini? Then he can run dual screens on the Mini when I am not working.
Thanks for the help with this one!
Alex

I am not aware of any KVM which can share two screens. The best you are likely to be able to do is put one of the screens with the keyboard and mouse on a KVM and share those.
