How do I connect two monitors to thunderbolt port on MBP 13

The apple rep told me it can be done without Matrox using the dual DVI link, but other people on the web say no.  I'm trying to figure out for sure. I want to connect my two non-apple 24" displays.

I thought that was the only was with an apple thunderbolt display, however the Apple rep who was in a Best Buy store told me he had seen the 13" connected to two non-apple displays.  If it can be done, I think it's going to be a little weird.  Maybe I'll just put one display on the thunderbolt with a dvi connector and the other one on the usb port.  As long as I'm not gaming, it should be okay to have a slight lag.  Thoughts?

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
    The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
    I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
    So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
    The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
    Could anyone help me on this issue.
    Thanks.

    You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface.  You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
    The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

  • Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

    Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

    Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors.  Early models only had one monitor port.  Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport.  Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port.  The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
    Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter.  The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such.  So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

  • What is the best way to connect two monitors to MacBook Air?

    I have a MacBook Air and I want to connect two monitors to it (not Thunderbolt Displays). I was thinking about using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to connect one monitor and a USB to DVI adapter to connect the other (such as Diamond BVU). But I have heard that this causes it to become slightly slow to respond on Mission Control and causes videos to lag. Is there anyway to connect two monitors without the lag? Or should I just use one monitor?

    The MacBook Air only allows daisy chaining monitors via Thunderbolt with Apple's Thunderbolt displays so you'll need to go 3rd party with something like -

  • Problem Connecting Two Monitors

    Just set up a new HP Mini 300-30 with two monitors. Monitor connection is through a device I bought that has HDMI cable connecting to back of HP Mini and two outlets on device to connect two monitors using VGA cables that came with each monitor. Monitors work but are set up with mirror image and I have not been able to find a way to make each monitor run indpendently. If I use keyboard and press Windows key + P it brings up a screen where I can select monitor options. I select the option to run separate monitors but nothing happens. I believe I have tried everything but the correct way.

  • How do you connect two Apple ID's?

    How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

    Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
    The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

  • How do I connect two Queries?

    Hello all,
    How do I connect two Queries and add some numbers.
    Here is what I am trying to do.
    Query 1: Gets G/L Credit Amounts for Jan 2007  Feb 2007 March 2007.....Dec 2007
    Query 2: Gets G/L Debit Amounts for Jan 2007 Feb 2007 march 2007.....Dec 2007
    I need to put both these Queries in a worksheet one below the other and add the totals by each month.....so the final report looks something like this:
    I am using two structures to hold the query values.
    G/L Credit Amount        Jan 2007    Feb 2007.............Dec 2007
                                        +100         +200                   +400
    G/L Debit Amount           -50           -100                     -200
    Total                              50             100                      200
    Also, I would like to allow the users to enter Year as a variable. Any suggestions?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Venkata,
    Thanks for your reply. Could you explain how I insert two query results into one worksheet? And, also how do I link the two structures ( one structure per query) so I can total the amounts by each month?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Attaching two monitors to an Early 2011 MBP

    Hey everyone!
    I have an early-2011 Macbook Pro and I want to attach two external monitors to it. I currently use the minidisplay/thunderbolt port with a TB to VGA converter, but I wanted to know if there's such a thing as a TB to 2 VGA/DVI or a way to connect two monitors without eating a USB port while doing so. The only solution I can think of is purchasing something like this: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U055/ but I'm trying to avoid paying that much money.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them!,
