How to connect PB to LCD monitor?

I have a 26 inch PC LCD monitor. It has a an svga and an hdmi inputs. What type of cable do I need to connect my PB to this monitor? Thank you

You can use a DVI to HDMI cable, along with an audio mini jack cable, since DVI doesn't carry an audio signal. One source for cables is http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=109

  • Best way to connect iPod to LCD monitor?

    Hello,
    I wish to hookup my 5G iPod to a LCD monitor to display a slide show.
    I know that some LCD's have RCA inputs (the yellow one) or S Video inputs and can thus go straight from the iPod. But many economy model LCD's do not have these.
    So how can I hook up my iPod 5G/Photo or Video to a LCD which only has a VGA input?
    Thanks!

    Hi! I have a 2008 toyota camry and had to change my Aux connection for my 2nd Gen touch. All sound for the AUX, I believe comes from the connector not the 3.5 jack. The 2nd gen does not support the old firewire charging, so some of the third party cables will not charge a 2nd gen touch. Check this one out.
    I bought this one, though the price was a little steep $49.00

  • Quality of screen color flashes after connecting to external LCD monitor

    After connecting my Powerbook G4 to an external LCD monitor via s-video, the quality of the image on the built-in screen flashes back and forth between what seems like a 8 or 16-bit image and a 32-bit image. I have run the hardware test and everything checks out fine but the image is grainy and washed out and only sometimes returns to normal. I have also reset PRAM and PMU to no effect, as well as tried recalibrating the display. And oddly, the external display is fine.
    This is terribly frustrating as all colors are washed out and I can't truly gauge what I am doing design wise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thank you, Silly Rabbit. I actually only hook the Powerbook up to the external monitor (LCD TV) to watch movies, show photos, etc. I don't actually use an external monitor on a daily basis.
    Your suggestion is a good one, which I appreciate. I am going to the Genius Bar this afternoon, so hopefully they can provide a solution for the built-in screen.
    Thanks again!

  • How can I connect HDTV and LCD monitor to PC using both -as a double monitor.

    I recently purchased HP Pavilion PC a6600f with HP w1707 monitor. I also purchased a DVI to HDMI cable to hook PC to Samsung HDTV. I can use the VGA cable to hook to the monitor and the DVI to HDMI cable to hook to the HDTV but have to unplug one to use the other. Is there any way to configure Windows Vista Home Premium to show on both screens at same time or at least be able to switch between the two without having to unplug one and restart computer? 
    This question was solved.

    I believe you have to press Source or the Mode button to switch between video inputs on your monitor.

  • TV Apple TV MacBook Air:How to connect my computer's monitor and TV as multiple monitors (NOT mirroring)

    I have an insignia TV, an apple TV I just bought less than a month ago, and a Macbook Air (mountain Lion) and a MacBook pro (mountain lion).
    I am able to connectboth of my computers with the TV to mirror my screen/monitor, but I have not been able to figure out how to use the apple TV to use my TV as a second monitor, like I was able to do with my HDMI cable. 
    when I bought the Apple TV the person who I talked to at the store told me I would be able to do it, but I havent been able to do it through system preferences and the options for display only show as mirroring through Airplay. I dislike mirroring because while I play something on my computer (or somebody else does) I'd like to still be able to use my computer for browsing or doing homework.
    Please help me find a way in which I can make my TV as a second monitor tu my computer without having to have an HDMI cord across the room. I have a puppy and I have had problems with that. That is actually the reason why I considered buying the Apple TV device.
    NOTE: In case you know a way to connect my TV to my Macs I have a time capsule and my TV has a DVI, two HDMI, and a USB ports.
    thank you!
    Lydia

    Morning jotref,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to connect to Samsung Synmaster monitor?

    I am decidedly NON-tech savvy, and I'm looking for instructions for "the complete dummy."  I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8 laptop that I want to connect up to a new Samsung Syncmaster SA300 LED computer monitor.  It is supposed to be "compatible for Mac."  However, the User's Manual provided on CD does not start up an play properly on my MacBook which means I can't install the monitor driver and am therefore going nowhere.  I downloaded the printed version from Samsung, but the only instructions are for setting up a PC.  I have both units properly connected, and the monitor does come on with my MacBook's background photo but none of my icons.  I'm also not able to open the dock on my MacBook.
    Could some kind soul walk me, step by step, through the process of how to get the monitor and MacBook working together?  Please be kind enough to use layperson language.  I'm not kidding.  I was born many decades ago, and tech-speak totally confuses me.  I'd be grateful for your help!!!  Thanks.

    Hello,
    I can't install the monitor driver and am therefore going nowhere.
    You don't need to install any drivers for Mac usage.
    The MacBook can do two types of display on it... Mirrored of the the Internal, or Extended, a second whole screen without Dock & such, but window can be dragged to it.
    In System Preferences>Displays, you should see settings there and once both show up with Extended, you can drag them to Arrange them, or even drag the Dock or Menu in that pref to the Monitor you want to be the main one.
    Pretty ancient here myself, so let me know if you need more info... I don't have a Laptop or second monitor, but I think I understand hoe it works.

  • PowerBook 160   Powerbook Video Cable: how to connect to mdern flat monitor?

    I wish to connect a Macintosh PowerBook 160 (very old) to a modern flat monitor. I have got the Macintosh PowerBook Video Cable that connects with one end with the Powerbook and has a sub-D 15 (two rows of holes) female connector on the other end. What kind of connection is required between the video cable and the 15-pins (three rows) of the monitor?-- Thanks for any hints, Peter

    If your "modern flat monitor" is a widescreen display (16:9 aspect ratio), its optimal resolution will not be supported by the PowerBook 160 and its very limited 512K of VRAM.  Even if you used a Mac-to-VGA adapter to connect the display's VGA plug to the PowerBook's display cable, the onscreen result would be unacceptable.  I wouldn't waste the $$ attempting to do so.  Mac users with much newer and capable Power Macs having PCI graphics cards sometimes have compatibility problems with new displays.

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

  • How to connect macintosh LC to LCD monitor?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect a Macintosh LC to a VGA LCD monitor.  I'm not sure if that is possible, if so, what is the name of the adaptor that I need to get for it? Ebay has tons of such adaptors when I tried looking for them, but I didnt know which one to chose.  Thanks very much!

    With an old Mac like the LC, your problem is more complicated than finding a hardware interface adapter.  The original LC and LC II had a maximum VRAM of 512 KB, which was adequate to support the old Apple 12" or 13" RGB displays, but not the multi-sync displays that followed.  The LC III had a little more VRAM, maxing out at 768 KB, but still has the same limitation as its predecessors.  A modern 19" LCD display typically has a widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) and an optimal resolution of 1440x900 @ 60 Hz.  The LCs don't support this resolution, because it didn't exist back in 1990.  Even in newer (old) Macs with PCI slots, there are early graphics cards that can't support widescreen displays, because they weren't programmed for it.  If you want to use the LC, you should look for an older Apple RGB display, but because they had the Sony Trinitron CRT, they're very heavy and not feasible to buy from an eBay seller, when you factor in the cost of shipping.  If there are any thrift stores or computer recyclers in your area, you might want to check them out.

  • How to connect LCD monitors to MBP?

    Hi there
    I am setting up my music studio step by step and I have two MBP which I would like to connect to an LCD. (in the future I will connect them to 2-MacMinis)
    What do I have to consider to keep in mind before purchasing a LCD? Which suits and works best with Mac? And how do I setup the LCD to display what is displayed on my Mac and to use it as an assitional "screening" (as in dragging items to the LCD)?
    What possible way is there to connect two LCDs on one MBP?
    By the way I have one MacBook Pro 13" Unibody & MacBook Pro 15".
    Thank you.

  • How to connect my Cinema Display as a second monitor

    I just purchased a new 27-inch iMac, and I explained to the Apple folks that I had a 17-inch cinema display (silver clad model) that I wanted to connect, for a dual monitor set up. They told me just to get the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, but I was surprised to realize that's not going to work.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this, and what connector is actually needed? I have the big old white power brick that I bought to daisy chain my old 17 and 23 inch displays with my old configuration (Mac Pro).
    Or can you not have a second monitor with an iMac?

  • Connecting 2 LCD monitors to my Macbook?

    Hello Everyone.
    Ok, before I go poking around and stuff something up, can someone please answer my following questions. I am wanting to connect two LCD 22inch monitors to my Macbook Pro.
    1. How do I do this?
    2. Instead of buying Apple screens, are there any other good LCD monitors that will do just a good a job?
    Please help.
    Thanks....I love my MAC

    1. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/products/home.php
    check graphic expansion modules
    2. for serious work I would strongly recommend eizo monitors. current apple displays simply cant compete with them. They are very outdated and therefore overpriced. they have poor adjusting possibilities..in both picture and stands.

  • External LCD Monitor Connection - Unacceptable Quality

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a Mac, hoping that I would be able to connect to my external LCD monitor (19" Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - only VGA connection).
    I have easily hooked up my monitor to my Mac. However, what I see is of unacceptable quality. When compared to Macbook display, the display on the external monitor is darker and the text looks horrible. I have played with few settings but nothing good.
    I have read other threads where people complain about similar things. But, I thought Samsung's monitors would be of higher quality. Mine is a relatively cheap LCD but not this cheap
    I am just willing to confirm that I am not missing anything. I simply can't believe that the display quality could be this bad. In the worst case, I will have to buy a new LCD.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello stedman1,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Unfortunately, it is not running in the Mirror mode. The display with the mirror mode was even worse! But after reading the posts in the forum, I have learned how to change it to the extended display. It is better than the mirror mode, but still not good enough.
    Maybe I am making a mistake comparing the external monitor with the MacBook's monitor?? There is a huge gap between the two. It is a lot darker, and the text quality is way worse.
    Someone with a similar monitor having solved this issues?
    Thanks,
    Guven.

  • Connecting Powerbook to External LCD Monitor

    The D-BUS port on the external LCD monitor is a female port, so is the VGA port of the DVI Adapter, How can I connect these 2 if both are female ports, what do I need???

    Sounds like you need a VGA cable with male VGA plugs at both ends. Quite common, for VGA monitors that don't have hard-wired cables.

    Hello sohagshahin,
    It appears that your HDMI port is not working on the notebook. I will try to assist with this.
    Have you verified that the port indeed does not work by trying other tv's or monitors? (try one of each if possible).
    Have you tried other HDMI cables?
