Duel Monitors Recomendation

I have 5 work stations
2x2.26 Quad core Intel Xeon
16 GB DDR3 Ram 1066MHZ
Mac OS 10.9.1
Primary use: iMovie/FCPX for free community workshops
All external HDD workflow
I'm looking to add a second monitor to these rooms and was wondering about recommendations?
The monitors currently in use are Phillips Brilliance 220SW Max res 1680 x 1050 connected via DVI
I have some cash to spend and am slightly deficient in the area of monitors and alternate I/O's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

FYI: It's, "dual," not, "duel."
A "duel" is something 2 people do with pistols.

  • How to display a duel monitor in my Macbook pro?

    Hi recently I brought a 22 inch LCD monitor I would to make a duel monitor with my laptop how do I do that cause i have try out many way but still not display out. Please help.. Thanks in both window and OS

    I set mine up in OSX and it works fine in Windoz - both under Parallels and with CrossOver.
    Don't understand why yours doesn't work - unless you are using dual boot. If so have you gone into Windoz Control Panel and set up the monitor or installed the driver that came with the monitor. Windows now says that drivers aren't needed but many manufacturers include them as they do most of the work for you.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • How to adjust hot corners for duel monitors?

    Anyone know how to adjust the hot corners so that I can use all 4 corners of my primary monitor and not my second?
    Right now I have to move the cursor all the way across both monitors to the bottom right corner on my second monitor to activate it. In Lion I believe they had a duel monitor adjustment to fix this problem.
    Any ideas in Mountain Lion?

    Actually, on top of that, is there also a way to make the menu bar appear on both screens? Having a window in a different monitor from the menu bar is a bit inefficient.

  • Does Yosemite support mac pro duel monitors?

    Does Yosemite on early 2008 mac pro support duel monitors to the extent to make one desk top?

    as long as that box is checked, each display is independent.
    If you want the original "Extended Desktop":
    Uncheck the box
    close the preference pane or switch to another and save changes.

  • Duel Monitors Mac Mini

    I am getting a mac mini and want to hook up duel monitors on it. Each monitor has a single VGA, DVI, and HDMI port. For the first one I will use the HDMI to DVI adapter and for the second I would like to use the MiniDisplay(AKA thunderbolt) to DVI adapter. I heard some people saying it wont work for a second monitor because its passive and not active and stuff like that. How true is that?

  • Duel Monitor Issues

    Hi I'm new to the forums.
    My company just bought a Lanovo 3000 J110 from tigerdirect, and I am trying to install an extra videocard to the PCI-e slot. Its a NVIDEA GeForce7 NX7300LE. It was the cheapest I could find locally on short notice.
    Every time I put in the videocard (or a very old PCI video I finally found on the shelves), I keep getting beeping noises. I replaced the standard 250W PSU with a 380W I found also at work. I still get the same problem. I've checked the bios, video setup to the following:
       Select Active Vide: Automatic
       DVMT 4.0 Mode: Auto
    originally this was setup for the onboard video card.
    I can't seem to figure out why this is not working, tested the motherboard, works fine (I have a few PCI ethernet cards lying around, popped those in got no problems.) The beeping happens even on the old video card (has no 3d acceleration) still. PSU is perfectly fine, boots up windows perfectly so I know its not that either. Been looking around boards all day trying to find a fix.
    The machine runs perfectly fine, upgraded the 512 MB by adding a 1GB RAM, runs XP Pro smoothly. I just need duel monitor for a bunch of applications I have to keep up and running and monitoring for most of the day.
    Any suggestions to correct this problem?

    Yep its installed in the correct slot (#17), checked the guide and it was installed correctly.
    Was looking over the specs of the NX7300LE TD256EH and can't find anything saying PCI-e x16, it just says PCI-e certified. After doing some more scrounging around (basically google searches). I have located a few things saying this card is a PCI-e x16 card. The following link is the same make and model of the graphics card I have. The Interface Information is near the bottom of the page.
    http://www.cuttingedgecomputers.ca/shopexd.asp?id=​2318
    Interface
    PCI-E 16X
    VGA, DVI-I, S-Video/RCA
    Before I left work last nite, I figured it would be that the 380W powersupply was just not big enough, so I found a 480W and slapped that in. Still the beep warning and not booting up windows (or anything on the screen at all).

  • Setting up duel Monitors on a G5 - sometimes it's not working

    I have a 23 ADC cineama display on a duel 2.0 G5 (the original). I want to hook up a 15" VGA monitor on the side of it using the VGA>DVI converter that came with the G5.
    I tried this once, and it worked. About a week later, I went to connect it again, and they just mirrored each other (not to mention that the 15" somehow took precidence and changed my 23 inch to the 15's resolution).
    Is there something I'm missing? I could not find anything in sys preferences that appeared to directly address this. In other words, I couldn't find the "if you want the thing to work, click here".
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well it's a little hard to tell you when I don't have two monitors connected. The options only show when you have two displays/monitors connected. Here is a PDF that seems to give instructions for both OS 9 and OS X, so just scroll down to the OS X instructions.

  • Need monitor recomendation.

    Hello,
    I just have a Mac Book Pro to do my editing on. Is there a set-up where I can push my output to both my 24" Cinema Display and external video monitor. Or do I have to choose one or the other? In any case, can anyone recomend a monitor?
    Thanks, Ed

    If you are editing DV, you use firewire to drive the external video monitor and DVI to drive the second computer monitor. How to connect things up is covered in the FCP manual.
    Since Sony has discontinued the PVM series, about your only reasonably priced choices are the JVC TM-H150CGU 15" or the TM-H1750CGU 17" monitors. I've no experience with them.
    If you are editing HDV, the Matrox MXO will let you use a 23" Apple Cinema Display (or the Dell 24" widescreen) as the external HDV monitor. Or, you could purchase a AJA ioHD and use that to drive an external HDTV.
    The broadcast versions of HDTVs are hideously expensive.

  • Duel Monitor issue with video in full screen mode

    Hi, im not sure if this is the right forum but here is my question
    I have an external monitor connected to my MacBook Pro 13" model...i want to be able to have a video in full screen on my external monitor but still use my laptop to do work and browse the web
    However, ever time i put it in full screen mode it blackens my laptop screen
    how do i stop this from happening

    I've tried moving the menu bar to the monitor...didnt work
    ive tried playing the video on my mac but it just blackens the monitor
    What do you mean by the adaptor - i have what ever software etc that came with the mac...and then from apple i bought the mini display port to VGA adaptor...the monitor is a new LG W2261 Full HD...currently i am connect via the blue VGA cable
    it works if im playing games full screen...i just have to move the menu bar in the arrangement option...but it doesnt work for videos
    i havent tried another monitor cos i dont have one - but i did try another account and its the same effect
    surely it should be simple - what if i was to do a powerpoint presentation connect to a TV or projector, normally you can see your screen for the separate controls which the other displays the presentation

  • Monitor recomendation for editing/color corection/ grading?

    Hello
    I am c300 owner, and slowly learning editing and color correction on my  CS6 PP, probably later will learn to work as well in Resolve.....  anyway, when it comes to pc monitors what would u recommend? and what  should i look at when buying monitor? how many monitors do i need?
    my pc specs : I7 950 3.07GHz, Win7 64 bit, 24GB ram, GTX 580 3GB
    Regards

    naumen,  
      Aug 8, 2013 8:21 PM    in reply to Kranex1 
    so u say if my card is just 8 bit.... curently gtx580 , but planing to get 680 or 780 ...... still 8 bit, its not worth getting 10bit monitor or even higher prduction monitor? right?
    Right! Those are gaming cards; very fast, but for pro applications they do not support 10 bit. You need a Quadro for that. And its all or nothing: 10 bit monitor, application, OS, and card to support it.

  • Why is there no True Duel Monitoring in SG?

    Why dose SG disable the video on my Mac's screen when I enable the video out through my matrox card? Is there something that I am not enabling correctly?
    It says Duel Screen or SDI output Activated where the image used to be... Why can't the image stay there and be output at the same time?
    Is there and update coming soon to fix this?
    It is such a common set up to have a computer that you are working on and making the corrections on and then a screen for your client viewing... But disabling the video on the computer makes this imposssible for professional work...
    Thank you
    Edit:
    Another reason this would be so helpful...
    You could edit and move your masks around on the computer screen and the client would not see it moving around on the viewing montor...
    This all helps with better presentation... i.e. keeping all the GUI crazy looking stuff on my screen and a nice presentation of the final image on the screen I am having the client watch...

    Agree with you Vladimir.
    However, how would Microsoft or Security product vendors make more money if Microsoft provides everything in one OS ? Moreover, we are talking about
    Windows NOT Linux (wherein almost everything comes free of cost ;-))

  • Mac mini and duel monitors

    I want to purchase a mac mini (2011 model), and have two Saumsung SyncMaster monitors that I want to hook up to it.  What cords do I need to be able to run both of them through the mac mini?

    Have a brand new Mac Mini and having trouble trying to hook them up, specifically to two
    ViewSonic VX2250WM-LED monitors.  Everyone I talk to says to get a DVI D splitter so that one DVI goes into adapter and the other two branch out to the monitors.  This hasn't worked so far and every where else I read mentions tons of other ways of doing this.  Since DVD D splitters are impossible to find, what else is there?

  • Duel Monitor

    I need to setup two VGA monitors but not sure if what i have in mind will work so just need a little advise..This PC is new out of the box Pavilion 500-205T CTO desktop  with the nvida card, it has the standard DVI and HDMI ports, connecting one monitor to the DVI to VGA adaptor runs one monitor... Will purchasing a HDMI to VGA adapter work to get the second monitor running?  Will this cause any issues with display (need both displays to match).  Both monitors are exactly the same, new out of box HP W2072a 20" diagnoal led backlit LCD monitors.

    Ok i purchased this Honeywell Active HDMI to VGA M/F Adapter Converter Dongle [White] backed up by Honeywell Limited Lifetime Warranty... i'll let you know if it works... unless someone already know....  

  • G4 PowerMac Duel Monitors

    Need some information, if you please.
    My G4 tower came with two plug-ins to accomodate two monitors.  I still have the Apple connection for VGA that came with the Mac, but I need the second option (male).  The male end has 30 Pins and 2 tiny pins on either sided of a flat pin on one end, the opposit end is for a VGA plugin. 
    I don't have a book anymore, and would sure like to know how to descsribe the second option so that I could order a replacment.
    The monitor plug-in looks like this one

  • Mac mini duel monitors

    Ok, so I have 2 monitors. One is a DVI and another is a VGA. I can not use the duelhead2go. Will a usb video card work? I am not trying to mirror it, I am trying to expand my desktop space. I have been researching this topic for hours, and I am not sure about it. I have found a dvi splitter cable that has one dvi female and another vga female. Will this work? Also, will a dvi splitter or a vga splitter work if I use the dvi to vga adapter that came with the mac mini work? Thanks

    Hi Snake X,
    Be careful. Many of these adaptors don't say that they work with Macs. You need drivers for them to work with Macs. They don't just plug in and work like some other type of devices, at least not as of yet. Read the system requirements for any device that you purchase before buying.
    If your Mac Mini is 1.83 GHz, then it's an Intel processor. To double check what you have, go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Look at the processor line.
    Mac OS X 10.4 was called Tiger, not Panther.
