IMac additional monitor

Have a 24" iMac (Intel) running OS 10.4.11
Want to run an additional 24" monitor from the iMac. Have done this with a 17" CRT with no problem but now want to use a larger LCD screen. Can my iMac drive another monitor this size, can't find any reference to this either in my documentation or on the forum.

You can use any DVI display up to 1920 x 1200 with a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter

You can not use the new Apple 24" LED display since it uses Mini DisplayPort, and there are no adapters available for that..

Additional monitor for iMacs

I haven't bought an iMac yet, but am considering it. My one question is whether or not an additional monitor can be used with an iMac, to split the desktop.

Ok for someone who has only had am ibook g4 for the past year and a half I need english on this one. I do not possess the technical vocabulary for this.
I want to by a desktop mac or more specifically an imac G5 but the main things my next mac has to do is allow me to have dual screens, wireless everything (keyboard, mouse, printer, and internet). I first wanted to dock my ibook and get teow monitors and everything but found out I can't do that. So what should I buy ?
Specifically which mac will do all these things for me? I am now inlove with mac and anything Apple so I want to continue using their products. Please help

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

Running 2 additional monitors?

Hi there, running a new-ish 21.5" iMac. Already have one external monitor hooked up and running smoothly with the iMac display, wondering if there's any way I can hook a second one up at the same time. Maybe a pigtail splitter running from the display out? Dont want to spend money on hardware if I'm not sure I'll be able to use it.
Thanks!

There is no easy standard way of attaching a second monitor to your iMac.
One option is usb to VGA or DVI adaptor which used DisplayPort technology, how ever from what i have ready you can't do anything graphic intensive like gaming on them.
Second Option is Matrox DualHead2Go or TrippleHead2Go, which allows 2 or 3 additional monitors to be connected. However all the additional Monitors are detected as one, which in scenarios for me defeated the purpose.

Is there any chance to use the iMac additionally to the Cinema Display as an external display for the MacBook,

I do have a MacBook 13" connected to the Cinema Display and this works fine. As I do also an old iMac which I do not use any more, is there any chance to use this iMac as an additional monitor next to the Cinema Display. I would be great to have both of them running in parallel and bring the iMac to an use again.

Use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

Using a 27" iMac as Monitor for PC

I am building a PC for Network Attached Storage (NAS) using FreeNAS:
http://www.freenas.org/
Once it's all set up I'll just use the web/network interface to manage it. But, as I assemble the PC I'll probably need a monitor to make changes to the BIOS settings.
I'm wondering whether I can use my iMac (iMac11,3) as a makeshift monitor for the PC. Apparently it's possible to do this if the PC has a Mini DisplayPort.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924
My PC has the followoing video ports:
- VGA
- DVI
- HDMI
Can anyone tell me whether I can use my iMac as monitor to a PC with one of these ports?
If so, can anyone recommend a cable to do so? For example, this Mini DisplayPort <-> HDMI cable says it won't work for my purposes:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802 &p_id=5311&seq=1&format=2
"This device is not Bidirectional. It can only connect a Mini-DisplayPort source to an HDMI® display. It will not work in reverse."
I want to display my PC's VGA, HDMI, or DVI as the source to my iMac's Mini-DisplayPort, not the other way around.
Thank you for your help.

But that one doesn't support the 27" screen, you need Dual-Link DVI if it's going to work at all...
Note: This product supports single-link DVI. Dual-link DVI and the Apple 27" Cinema Display are supported by the GTV-DVIDL-2-MDP.
Which is even more money...

Additional monitor and keyboard for IdeaPad U310

Hi.
I want a new laptop and I'm thinking of buying U310, but I have some questions.
Now I have a desktop computer and a 23" monitor. I'd like to keep the monitor and wireless keyboard. Is it possible to connect them to U310 - I'd like to use external keyboard and 23" monitor while using U310 on my desk.
I use similar combination at work, but I have ThinkPad and docking station.
Is the combination of U310 and external keyboard & additional monitor possible?
Thanx.

You couldn't do that even if it did have firewire. That's not a feature of OS X.

imac intel monitor not working

Hi Robby62,
please do report back.
Also, after you have successfully installed the BootCamp Drivers from the Leopard DVD (which are version 2.0, btw.) you might want to download the 2.1 version update here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampupdate21 forwindowsvista32.html
The update also has to be installed while in Windows.
Have Fun

Mimo Monitor via USB and additional monitor via mini-display?

Hi,
I currently have a 2009 MBP, with a second monitor I attach via the mini-display port. I'm thinking of adding a USB monitor like this one - http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/imo-pivot-touch
Will the MBP/OS X support this additional screen?

I think this question might best be addressed to the makers of the monitor. I imagine they must have tested it with MBPs, and perhaps also with additional monitors.
Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to use the tiny monitor for? Its screen is even smaller than the 1984 128K Mac's, though its resolution is slightly higher.

Add additional monitor via USB

Hi all,
I have recently bought the Matrox Dualhead2Go to connect two additional monitors to my MBP. The device works well and the performance is excellent and easy to set up, however I didn't realise that it would mean the mac see's both my monitors as one big display (in my case 3360x1050). This means that things like dialog boxes popup in the middle of the displays (between the bezels). The solution is fine but it's not quite ideal.
I was wondering if there is a solution out there to allow me to add an additional display that is treated as a seperate display using something like USB, so I could have one monitor plugged into thunderbolt and another monitor plugged via USB which will give me 2x 1680x1050 instead of just 1x 3360x1050.
There's some usb to vga/dvi adapters available but wanted to find out if this will work or if there are any recommendations?
Thanks in advance,
Scott.

Hi Kelly,
Apologies for the delayed response.
Unfortunately I did not find a real solution to deal with the dialogue boxes, however I do use a great Mac program called Moom (http://manytricks.com/moom) which has a lot of helpful features for managing and resizing/maximising windows, etc.
One of the features I use is the ability to nudge windows left or right by a specified amount of pixels and bind it to a button on my mouse.
I have it set up so one of my mouse buttons nudges the active window left and another button to nudge the window right. All this is really doing is avoiding having to continuously click and drag dialogue boxes when they appear in the centre of the screen and instead is just a mouse button press away.
Not a very elegant solution, but it does reduce my mouse mileage by not having to drag stuff around all the time.
Hope this helps.

IMac bad monitor. Bought external monitor, how do you shut off main?

I am one of the poor unfortnuate masses that have a bad iMac monitor - the one with all the lines going down it. Bad pixels. Sheesh.
I bought a HP 20 external monitor and hooked it up, it's working fine.
QUESTION: Am I able to shut down the main monitor down without affecting the external monitor? If so, how?
No sense in having both monitors working.
As always, thanks in advance!

There is no way to turn off the iMac's monitor, however there is a way to dim it to black like Dave suggests using Shades.
