Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors to an imac 27"

Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080 to a new imac 27" with two thunderbolt connectors (per mini displayport to dvi or mdp to hdmi cable)? So that there is the full resolution on all three (Mac + two Samsung) monitors? And if its possible what do I need to do so?
Thanks for the help

I have no ThunderBolt iMac (mine is a 2009) nor one or two of these Samsung Displays.
So I can't say or guarantee that the combination will work.
Some displays simply don't work with Macs for no apparent reason.
Best would be to take your MacBook Pro into the store where you want to buy the Samsung displays and ask for a test.

X201 with Docking station not able to connect to Samsung Monitor

When the Samsung (SyncMaster 2053BW) VGA connect directly to X201, the monitor works fine. When the Samsung VGA connect thru docking, Monitor is blank. Why?

hey alin0902,
hard to say why. have you tested the Samsung with another laptop that has a docking station ? does it work? or does it work only if the Samsung is connected directly into the other laptop ?
if it does not work with a different laptop that is docked, we suggest contacting Samsung for assistance.
if it does work, while being docked.. what you could do is to uninstall the current video driver of your X201. let windows install its own generic driver.
once done, dock the unit and try again.

Connecting a Samsung monitor onto Ibook G4

I'm totally new to MAC so pardon my ignorance. I have an IBook G4 (inherited from my son) and I love it, but the monitor is small for all the time usage - hard on my eyes.
I have a Samsung monitor that measures 20" across and would like to use it, if possible. Can such a small MAC power a larger monitor like this? And what kind of adapter would I use? The Samsung monitor has the kind of port that has 2 screws on the sides.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Okay, so here's what you'll need to order/pick up.
The mini-VGA to VGA adapter(they changed the name & I almost didn't find it!): http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and a plain old VGA cable, like the one pictured here:
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-45138-Ultima-Video/dp/B00030AXNQ/ref=sr132?ie=UTF8&qid=1296447815&sr=8-32
You can get the VGA cable at most electronics stores. You might have to pay more money than you would with Amazon.com, but not necessarily. All you have to do is ask a salesperson for a VGA cable for a monitor & they should know what you need.
Let me know if you have more questions!

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.

Is it possible to connect two external monitors to my T400 laptop?

Hi,
I bought a T400 laptop this summer and have it connected through the VGA port to an external monitor, using both the laptop´s monitor as an extended display. I would like to add a third monitor. I am wondering if there is any way to do this or anyone knows further, even if some additional hardware is required. There is no HDMI port on the laptop of course but I´m wondering if some sort of VGA splitter is possible. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Best wishes.

The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently. If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

Connecting an old monitor to an iMac G5

I want to use an older Apple Color Display (1992; Serial #SG240LOCE04) as a second monitor with my G5 iMac. The old connector uses 15 pins in two rows of 7 and 8, repectively. The adaptor I bought from Apple on-line has the 15 pins but in three rows of 5 each. The tech help chat suggests I use an "s-video VGA display adaptor" and that such a thing is available from Apple, but I can't find it at the Store. Any suggestions, friends?

Thank you for the info--I apologize, but I'm really new to HD. So let me just get this straight: there's no way for me to output an HD signal without third party hardware?
Also, am I correct in assuming those cards will not work in an iMac? (seeing as I can't see a way to get them into the computer)
Thanks again.

Hello, is it possible to connect my alienware laptop on an iMac and use just the screen of the iMac?

Does anyone know?

Not possible. That is why you didn't get an answer the first time you posted this question. Both computers need to be Mac's.

Connecting an HD monitor to intel iMac

Hi, I think this is a fairly simple question--I'm going to be editing some footage in HD and the director is planning on renting an HD monitor to use. What I need to know is what kind of cables I would need to get this system up and running. Is there some sort of mini-DVI to HDMI or something like that? Thanks.

Is it possible to attach Samsung Monitor to the 27 inch Cinema Display?

Hello,
I have an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display and I also have a Samsung 27 inch monitor.
I would like to know if it's possible to create a dual monitor setup by connecting the Samsung monitor (dvi or hdmi) with an adapter to the Cinema Display's mini display port on the back?
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or does it only work with another Cinema Display?
I'd appreciate any help received.
Thanks,

Is it possible to connect the PC to the Samsung monitor via Dual link DVI and to the Apple Cinema Display via mini display port and work as a dual monitor setup?
That should work if the PC has both DisplayPort and dual-link DVI (or two DisplayPorts).
I'm thinking the best solution for MacBook Air is to purchase a Thundebolt display and hook that up to the Cinema Display and I think then I would have a dual screen setup at full resolution.
That will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort display.
But currently I don't think there is a way to connect a PC to a Thunderbolt Display.
Not unless the PC has Thunderbolt.

How to connect a second monitor/TV to HP ENVY Beats All-In-One

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is even possible to connect a second monitor to the HP ENVY Beats All-In-One Desktop PC, because I'm trying to connect my TV as the second monitor through HDMI and I've tried everything that I could, but have come up empty handed?
This question was solved.

Hi,
What is the model/product of your AIO machine ? I many cases, you can't use HDMI port to connect to a TV because it is HDMI IN port. You need USB - HDMI converter/adapter to connect to a TV (or monitor).

Is it possible to connect a 2011, 13' MacBook to 2 external displays?

Is it possible to connect 2 external monitors to a Mac Book 2011 (has Thunderbolt port).
I was using a Matrox Dual Head 2 Go DP Edition adaptor but it crashed after installing Yosemite 10.10
Is there another work around available?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that hub would not do the job either. Sure it has two thunderbolt ports, but one of them is connected to your Mac and the other one is daisy chaining to your thunderbolt device. So you would only have one thunderbolt port free for a monitor (using a displayport adapter).
AFAIK you would need to have a thunderbolt display to daisy chain with the chain ending as soon as you put on a display port adapter. That or you buy some sort of usb device (like this), however I have no idea how well they perform.

Whether samsung monitor SYNC Master B2230 is compatible to Mac mini

Yes a Samsung B2230 is compatible, it has both DVI and VGA inputs if I am correct.
The question is, what adapter and cable connection are you using..?
1. The Apple HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the Mac Mini and a good DVI cable.
2. A MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter (if so, what brand adapter) and a good DVI cable.
3. A MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter (if so, what brand adapter) and a good VGA cable.
4. Or some other adapter to adapter and cable configuration.....?

Then if it is still blurry, consult your Samsung User Manual and adjust the setting using Monitor's Menu.
If you do not have the User Manual, go to > Support - LCD B2230 | Samsung Monitors

Connecting 3rd Party Monitor to iMac 2.8 Intel Core i7 27"

Hi Hope somone maybe able to answer this question?
I would like to connect my Dell monitor to my iMac as a 2nd screen, it has VGA, HDMI, & DVI ports. What would be the best way, can I simply purchase a mini-display port > DVI or VGA adapter or would I require a Dual Link Adapter?
Thanks in advance
Mike

A mini display port cable to either HDMI, VGA or DVI would be fine. The best way to to purchase is to buy it directly from Apple that way you know you are getting a high quality cable that has been well tested.
BTW, your manual says:
One or two Thunderbolt ports (high-speed data, video, and audio)
Connect Thunderbolt-compatible devices for high-speed data transfer, or connectan external display that uses Mini DisplayPort. You can purchase adapters to connectdisplays that use DVI, HDMI, or VGA. The 21.5-inch iMac has one Thunderbolt portand 27-inch iMacs have two.
