External VGA Monitor with MBP

I'm contemplating buying a MBP 15" and was wondering if I could attach an external monitor (older model - Samsung SyncMaster 175V) for use in my home office and get good results.

Well, it's hard to say. Factors such as resolution, refresh rate, even size can make it look a little different than what you have on your screen. Since it's not DVI, the colors may be a little different, probably not as rich as your MBP screen. If your resolution is lower than your MBP, it might have a smaller screen area, and make your icons look a little bigger than normal.
There really shouldn't be any driver issue at all. Just plug it in, and tell your MBP to go to your external monitor, it should show almost right away. You have the adaptor right? There's only one way to find out if you'll like using your external monitor on your MBP, and that's to try it out. You have nothing to lose..

  • Can't sign in on external monitor with MBP after Yosemite upgrade

    After Yosemite upgrade, when I turn on my MBP, I can't sign in using external monitor with MBP, always could before Yosemite.  Blurred image of my wallpaper shows on monitor, can move arrow on external screen but sign-in only shows up on my computer screen, with no arrow.  Since there is no arrow on the computer screen, and no sign in box on the external monitor, I have to unplug the external video to sign in on the computer, then plug in the monitor again.  Any ideas?

    NOWEK,
    Thanks for this suggestion, but so far no joy. I have zapped the PRAM, jammed the Frabitz and smashed the Gafrogsnicker, all to no avail. When the MBP restarts I get a blurred image (extreme "vibrancy") on the external monitor, but no images of the login accounts to choose from or the other options. However, on the MBP screen I get all that. The keyboard and mouse respond, but just doesn't display on the external monitor. This is of interest to me because I have the MBP down in a credenza with other related gear and the external monitor and keyboard up on my desk. It's true I don't have to do this often, but still, it just started this aggravation with Yosemite. Thanks for trying to help.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - External VGA monitor does not show any output

    I have bought this device as used from ebay. It is working fine except that the External VGA connection does not work. I am using win 7 and have it does recognize the external display correctly and I can configure it as an extended display. However the external display does not show anything. The external VGA monitor is fine as it works with other Laptop machines. I have tried using UBUNTU Live CD on this machine and tried to make the external display work (and it can also recongize the external display and configure it) but there is no picture. I also connected the external display to the vga port and then re-booted the machine but still no picture. I have tried changing the bios settings for the display as well but all my actions point to a hardware fault.
    I am not sure if it is a manufacturing fault ? Do you know if this issue has been reported earlier to you. Is there a product recall issued for this?
    Please advise as I need to connect this external display but am sure that it is a hardware fault with your device.

    Hi buddy,
    Have you already tested it with factory settings? I mean the preinstalled Windows from Toshiba with all drivers and tools. If you have the Toshiba recovery disk you should boot from this disk and install Windows with all drivers and tools.
    Furthermore you can switch between external and internal monitor using FN+F5 key combination. Does this work?

  • External VGA monitor

    I've just brought the laptop and gone through the update saga, everything is working but one thing, the external VGA monitor is only ever accepted as being 1280x1024 despite it being 1600x1200 native.
    I have tried everything I can think of, uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel and Nvidia drivers (I'm really not sure which one is driving the VGA despite setting the laptop to always use the NVidia card), and editing the EDID for the monitor to try and force the graphics card to output 1600x1200.  My old laptop connected to it fine, and I've tested it with other equipment which also works fine.
    Has anyone else come across this issue?  The monitor is a Sun 22" CRT, its actually a rebadged Sony and goes under the driver name GDM-5510.
    Not sure here if I have faulty hardware as the notebook is brand new (7 days old), so wondering if sending it back is the best option (I guess since I've opened all the packaging the 7 day distance seller regulations are not an option?).
    Any advice appreciated.

    Yes, you are right, I did not tested it with another cable yet, and its a cheap VGA one, but it does not do this on on a very cheap budget laptop. Maybe the VGA port on the Thinkpad is very sensitive. Its running on 60 Hertz. I only have 50 and 60 to choose. And I always run on the highest.

  • External VGA monitor probs...

    Just installed XP via BootCamp.
    I use an external VGA monitor, and it works fine in OSX, but in XP the window is only 860x480 (or something like that). I've tried all the settings, but with no luck.
    Cheers!

    Need to connect the VGA adapter from the monitor to the DMI adapter provided by Apple. After the above, then connect the DMI adapter to the Mac. OS X should recognize the monitor.

  • G4 iMac thinks an external VGA monitor is attached.

    My first Mac is the 17 inch G4 iMac. I'm fairly sentimental about this machine.
    The iMac running 10.4.11 thinks that there is an external VGA monitor attached to it. The iMac also assigns this "ghost VGA monitor" as the main screen. Every few minutes the screen will flicker from blue, to black and to white before resetting itself. This flickering will continue at random intervals thereafter. Under the Display settings there is no option to turn off mirroring or to arrange the screens.
    Years ago I used to use one of those honking CRT Studio Displays. That thing died a long time ago though. Is there some old preferences file that could be screwing with my iMac?
    I have also attempted to zap the NVRAM + PRAM. It did not solve the issue.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't think there is a way to undo the firmware update, until the installer from the developer has an uninstall option, or there was an uninstall program included with the install program. You can download it again and see.
    However, now that you have it working partially (it's acting like you have another display attached), try resetting the PRAM again. You did that as a byproduct of resetting the PMU, but things were not working +almost correctly+ at that time. This is the reset PRAM procedure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    That might help, because some display settings are stored in PRAM, so the one that indicates a second display could be corrupted.
    Also, when I changed display settings on my Mac (such as resolution or arrangement), these are the files I saw getting updated.
    <home folder>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver...plist
    <home folder>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays...plist
    <volume root>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    (There is a random-looking alphanumeric string where I put the dots - probably different for each system.)
    So you might try dragging those preference files to the Desktop to let the system create new ones. Then restart. Note: The above files are for Leopard; could be different if you are using Tiger.

  • Connecting 2 external VGA monitors to an E535

    I already have one external VGA monitor connected to my Thinkpad E535 via the VGA port.
    What is the best way to connect a second VGA external monitor?
    Should I use a VGA-USB or VGA-HDMI converter?
    Do the converters need to have their own graphics card or can the E535 built in graphics card deal with 3 (laptop + 2 external) monitors running simultaneously?
    Thanks for any help! R

  • Jaguar refuses to display on external VGA monitor

    Hi,
    I have a PowerBook G3 that I would like to set up for printing. I installed OS 9 on it and it displays just fine on my external VGA monitor. I also tried installing OS 10.1 on it which seems to work fine but when I try to install OS 10.2 the monitor goes off after the disk loads up (after the Apple logo goes away). It will not display on my monitor and I cannot use the built in display since it's broken. What's wrong?
    Thanks

    Apple Rules,
    Did you make sure to download the firmware update (if you PowerBook G3 is a firewire model) before upgrading.

  • External LCD monitors with DVI PowerBook: Banding Issues

    I have a DVI PB and would like to attach an external LCD monitor. I've looked at both Samsung 20 inch and ViewSonic 19 inch versions but whenever I attach them, I get "banding" around the edges of the external monitor. Tonight, I went to CompUSA to look at the Samsung 204B 20 inch. Taking my PB with me, I hooked up and set the resolution to 1600 x 1200 and the Samsung had huge, fat black banding all around the monitor. If you don't know - banding looks like a large, black border going around the screen. The sales guy pushed some auto-set buttons (which is said always work to remove the banding) but it didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions? Is there some secret that I'm not aware of on how to attach and use an external LCD monitor with the PB? One note: I did set the resolution down to 1280 x 1024, which worked fine to remove the banding but it monitor looked horrible. Not the best resolution for a large monitor.
    Thanks,
    B. Rose
    TiBook 800 & iBook SE   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, Bill. I can't speak to whatever happened with the Viewsonic monitor, since you didn't tell us about that, but it sounds as though the Samsung was in display mirroring mode rather than extended-desktop mode. The F7 key on your Powerbook's keyboard toggles an external monitor between the two modes. In mirror mode, the external monitor displays exactly the same thing as the built-in display. In extended-desktop mode, it functions as a separate portion of your desktop, and you can drag things (windows, icons) from one monitor onto the other. If you're going to use both displays, extended-desktop mode is probably what you'll want: why keep two copies of the same thing in front of you?
    In mirrored mode, the fact that your Powerbook's display has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 854 means that only 1280 x 854 pixels of the external monitor can be used — leaving wide black borders of untapped pixels around the copy of your PB's display that's centered on the external monitor. In extended-desktop mode, the external display's native resolution of 1600 x 1200 can all be used, provided that your 32MB of VRAM is sufficient to drive the total of (1280 x 854) + (1600 x 1200) = 3,013,120 pixels, at the bit depth you've selected. (You might have to use the extended-desktop mode in Thousands of colors, rather than Millions.)
    Another issue that comes into play with display mirroring is that the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 1600 x 1200 Samsung is different from the 3:2 aspect ratio of the Powerbook's display. If you set the Samsung's resolution to 1280 x 1024 to match the pixel width of the PB display, the top and bottom of the Samsung will be black bands, because the PB isn't manufacturing any pixels to fill those bands. And it will be blurry, because the Samsung has to interpolate to make 1600 pixels look (sort of) like 1280 pixels. Unlike a CRT display, the actual number of pixels in an LCD is fixed. When you change resolution settings on an LCD from its native (maximum) resolution to anything less, the image is always blurred. Only the native resolution can be really sharp.

  • External VGA monitors are not working only with my Macbook Pro 2012mid version

    Hi all,
    I have a macbook pro 13' 2012mid version, running the latest version of Mavericks, 10.9.2. If I connect my macbook to any extrernal VGA monitor (I have tried 4 different monitors), then the external display is detected in system preferences, but the monitor is showing only black screen (no signal). I am 100% sure, that my minidisplay port, the cable and the monitors are working properly, cause if I boot the same macbook from bootcamp win7 partition, then external monitors are working well.
    I have also tried the same miniDP VGA with an older macbook pro (I think it is a model from year 2011, but also running Mavericks 10.9.2) on the same displays and the monitors are working fine. So the problem must be with in my OS X.
    A have also tried some things, that I found on the net, like booting with the plugged in monitors in safe mode, reseting pram, I tried different settings for the external monitor in the system preferences (resolution, refresh rate...) but nothing helped. External monitor stayed recognized in system preferences, but with black screen and no signal.

    Your post is incredibly hard to read, font is way to small.
    If you used Boot Camp Assistant to create a partition to install Windows to you need a REAL Windows 7 or 8 install media and license key and you have to actually install Windows on your Mac. Boot camp is only for creating a partition to install Windows and starting the Windows install from REAL Windows install media.
    That Windows install media has to be a DVD disc, if your Mac has a built in DVD drive (Apple does not allow Windows to be install any other way on Mac computers that originally come with a built in DVD drive), or from a USB stick with the actual Windows install files on it (Not an ISO of the Windows install files).
    So the question is did you install Windows on your Mac? It doesn't look like it from the Option key boot and the list of available Boot Devices you posted.

  • Viewing firewire external device and VGA monitor with mirroring off

    My mac laptop is connected to an external monitor via the VGA port and I keep mirroring off to maximize display space. When using FCP I want to run firewire out to a professional DVcam deck for both capture, and to view the timeline on an external monitor that I see by using 'RCA monitor out' on the DVcam deck to the monitor. However, as soon as I turn mirroring off, the deck no longer sees the firewire. How can I see the firewire out and the VGA display monitor when mirroring is off. thanks

    Is the ADVC powered? When you connect firewire to the back of the unit, it gets powered by that connector, but the firewire jack on the front is only 4-pin and doesn't support power.
    If you have a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, try connecting it to the back of the ADVC110 and then the front of the box should light up, indicating power.
    I'm having a similar issue. I can print to tape via the Canopus box, but I want to be able to drive a monitor with it just so I can have an NTSC monitor while I'm editing. I can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

  • External monitor with MBP. Non Apple monitor

    Am about to purchase a new MBP and I believe I will be able to get a new Dell 24" monitor.
    question, I have read that many monitors periodically require Firmware upgrade to work at their best.
    For instance, there is a new update for the line of Dell monitors in which I am interested,. However, the firmware update (software) is only available in a ".exe" version which is Windows software,.
    How do Mac folks upgrade their non -Apple monitors? I know plenty of y'all use third party monitors.
    any tips on installing/using a third party monitor with MacBookPro will be will be appreciated, as well.

    your reply is very reassuring- I am going to purchase an external monitor for both my new MBPro and the current Macbook which I own.
    Lots of posts here assure me that using third party monitors can be done without too much hassled. (I just can't afford the Apple monitors otherwise would purchase)
    My concern came from stuff I have read (CNET) and In Dell forums where Dell concedes that the line of monitors I am considering DO have some difficulty with "banding" (Dell was getting numerous troubleshooting calls and exchanging monitors).Apparently the new Firmware, just published, fixes the problem.
    I guess I can run the firmware once I have Windows running (Parallels) in my new MacBookPro. And maybe companies will start releasing their software in Mac-usable format now that so many more Macs (especially laptops) are being sold.
    Thank

  • External LCD Monitor - Older MBP

    I have an older Macbook Pro, 2.16 C2D. The Graphics Card in it is an ATI Radeon X1600. I want acquire an external LCD monitor and I want to get one that is at least 1920x1080. Will I be able to use an HD monitor with my MBP and will it still look normal? Thanks.

    The very first MBP (CD 2.16) supported external monitors up to 2560x1600,(such as the Apple 30") psiforce. So does the C2D with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600. See http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .16-15-specs.html
    Any of them can do little 22 & 24" 1920x1080 monitors with one hand tied behind their back!

  • External Video Monitor with iMac possible.

    Dear friends,
    recently i have bought one imac 21.5" mid 2010 model. i am a film maker. i make TVC s, corporate docu, docu and short films. previously i worked hiring differnt post production studios but with growing volume of work i there was need for a personal edit setup. i have FC Studio 7 installed in my imav. i wanted to connect one external video monitor to facilitate the edit work flow. 1st i bought and connected a mini dp to vga adaptor and connected my 6 series samsung lcd tv with it. but the result was not satisfactory. now the lcd tv have become the second monitor and the system was working as dual monitor system. i wanted 1 video monitor as we get in pro studios. then i bought 1 mini dp to HDMI adapotor and connected it with the lcd tv throgh HDMI cable. fantastic. system took it automatically. Now i opened FCP, set a/v display to full screen, audio out to HDMI then view>external video>full frame. and u are through. now yuo can see the time line output in the LCD tv with sync audio. cheers. any better way to calibrate the second monitor?

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    If i consider an old model, maybe one with a DisplayPort input (late 2009 or mid 2010 iMac), is there a chance to connect the card with the DP input with a simple cable, or to verify the compatibility? The card has a DP output but many articles say that screen flickering or blue screen is the result...

  • Connecting to external VGA Monitor ?

    Model: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j052nr
    My laptop doesn't have VGA port and I didn't realize this when I bought this laptop. Can any suggest how to connect my laptop to external VGA Dell monitor ? Some forums are saying you can buy USB to VGA cable or HDMI to VGA cable but at the same people are complaining it is not working. Can someone give good information and links to cables or adaptops that WILL WORK for sure with this laptop.

    Hi,
    HDMI to VGA cable won't work, you need a converter to convert from digital to analog. The following device is one example:
