  • Macbook Pro Retina External Monitor Blurry

    Just got a new macbook pro retina and got it home. After getting everything transferred over from my old toshiba I connected it to my 1 month old HP external monitor and the display is blurry. I have read on many sites that this is a common problem however I can not find a solution. I am hook up from HDMI to HDMI. O don't really want to go through trial and error of different adapter for the lightning port if that will not work. I have tried different HDMI cables to no success. Any Ideas?

    Hi AO1 James,
    If I understand correctly, the external monitor was blurry from the moment you plugged it into your MacBook Pro with Retina display. I would first check the resolution settings for the monitor with the "How do I select additional resolutions on my display?" section of the following article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    If it remains blurry after selecting your monitors optimal resolution, I would use the steps under the "Reset the system" section of the article to help troubleshoot the issue.

  • Macbook pro retina external monitor mouse skipping, lag problem

    When I plug my macbook pro retina (Lion) into a 24" monitor through the DVI adaptor, the cursor jumps erratically every ~10 seconds when being moved. Feels like a lag and is worse with more programs running. Does not depend on mouse or mouse surface. Trackpad does it too. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • Macbook Pro Retina - Dual boot vs warranty question

    If I buy a brand new Macbook Pro Retina, and half its irreplacable pcie SSD and dual boot Mac OS X and Archlinux via bootcamp following the Archwiki, will I lose or limit my warranty towards Apple?

    Vegita, not necessarily... You can easily revert a Mac to its factory defaults with little to no work, so I'd say go ahead and play.

  • Macbook Pro to dual monitors

    Hi. I need to connect my 2009 macbook pro to 2 DVI monitors and i only have 1 thunderbolt port at my disposal. I also need to maintain screen quality on both monitors as i'm working with graphic design software. Esentially i'm after a thunder port cable with a dual dvi cable connector or similar solution. Any ideas?

    Your machine actually has a mini Displayport, not a Thunderbolt port.  And as far as I know, there is no way to drive more than one display with that.  If you had a newer Mac with Thunderbolt, you could drive more than one external monitor.

  • Macbook Pro 2014 dual monitor with Displayport daisy-chain

    Hello
    Is there a good dock where you can daisy-chain Displayport 1.2 monitors? For example:
    [Macbook Pro 13 retina 2014] ---- thunderbolt cable ----- [ideal dock!] ---- Displayport cable ---- [Monitor] --- Displayport cable --- [Monitor]
    I don't want to buy an Apple monitor - I've got two good Dell units.
    If so could someone suggest a good unit?
    Thanks,
    Andre

    I have almost exactly the same problem. I used to have a 12inch PB G4 that worked beautifully on my DVI KVM switch (ATEN CS-1762 on a Samsung LCD), but my new MacBook Pro has a lot of trouble.
    Initially all my windows were squashed and moved toward the lower part of the screen after switching the focus away from the MBP and back. Even worse, sometimes the MBP did not recognize the display change and gave me a 640x480 screen. As far as I figured out my KVM switch is emulating a standard VGA monitor when the focus is on the other machine, which seems to confuse the MBP. When this happens the display panel shows "KVM Monitor" as screen name instead of "SyncMaster".
    This got frustrating pretty quickly, so I updated the firmware of my KVM switch. Now 80% of the time everything is fine, i.e. the resolution is normal and all the windows are in their correct position. 10% of the time, I still get 640x480 (less often than before), but another 10% of the time the MBP screen auto-detection gets so messed up that only unplugging the KVM switch will get it to show anything either on the internal or external display. Even worse, a couple of times I had to power-cycle to recover from this weird state.
    I looked around for a fair bit, but haven't found any solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • MacBook Pro + External Dual Monitors?

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to connect to 2 external monitors (Dell/Asus). Is this possible? Don't want a mirror either, just an expanded visual. Please link any relevant connectors that might be good if its possible. I've looked at previous forums but some haven't been able to give the answers I needed.

    The two monitors there have the same hook ups. HDMI, DVI, and VGA.
    If you plan on watching videos or playing games on one of these monitors i would advise using the connection off of my first link.
    The second link would before anything that would not be graphically intensive, whether Internet browsing or word processing.
    You will also need either a dvi to dvi or dvi to hdmi.

  • MacBook Pro retina as monitor for AV receiver

    Hi
    Is this possible:
    Connect AVReceiver (in this case latest Denon Av2113)  to MacBook Pro and route the video to MacBook Pro (or iMac 2012 27") screen.
    For example show bluray (or any other video source that Denon can route) video on the MacBook Pro screen.
    Scenario I am trying to make is to avoid purchasing extra tv or monitor for the work room and just use the screen or one of the Apple monitors connected to the computer for video display.
    If this is possible how should I connect the devices.
    Do I need 3rd party software for this to happen.
    I have tried: Mac connected via the HDMI port on Mac to HDMI out of the Denon.
    The other way round I can easily play music from Mac  or Mac sounds on Denon connected speakers either via HDMI in or via optical.
    --h

    I think so. See:

  • HT5019 Macbook Pro Retina dual screen?

    I'm currently looking at external monitor solutions for my MBPr.  When i'm at my desk, a single 15" screen just isn't enough real estate.
    Does anyone know if you can use dual external monitors on the MBPr?  I don't want them both to be mirrors, I'd like to have the extended desktop.  Is this possible, and if so, what is required?  Both monitors would be HDMI

  • Macbook Pro Retina - HDMI monitor sometimes displays blank during reboot

    I'm running two monitors (HDMI, DVI-D) on my MBP Retina 13" running the latest Mavericks 10.9.2, and sometimes when I reboot the HDMI monitor which is set as the main monitor appears black/blank on reboot (power is on but nothing is displaying). The other two screens have signal and are displaying. When this occurs the HDMI monitor power button won't function and I end up having to un-plug/re-plug in the monitor for it to display.
    Has anyone come across this or have a solution to this problem?

    It appears this also happens when coming out of sleep mode, where the HDMI monitor comes up as a black screen and the DVI-D and laptop screen refresh correctly. (it's as if it's not getting the video signal although the monitor is turned on)
    Anyone else come across this? I highly doubt this is a one time case.

  • 13" Macbook Pro Retina issue outputting to Asus monitor

    So I'm trying to drive a Asus VS247H-P 23.6 inch monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina (13", late 2013). The MBPr has two Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay ports and one HDMI port. The monitor has one HDMI input. The monitor will work when using the Macbook’s HDMI port, but when I use a MiniDisplay to HDMI cable to try and drive it through the MiniDisplay port, the monitor can't detect any signal, and the Macbook screen goes black temporarily every few seconds as long as the cable is plugged in. I've tried with three different MiniDisplay/HDMI cables, all with the same result. There are no Mac drivers available for download on the Asus support website.
    More confusingly, the monitor WILL work perfectly when run through the MiniDisplay port of a NON-retina 13" Macbook Pro with the same MiniDisplay to HDMI cable.
    I would just use the HDMI-out port of the MBPr to drive the monitor, but I'd like to run two identical monitors through the two MiniDisplay ports for a dual screen setup.
    I'm completely stumped at this point, if anyone has any idea at all on what's going on I would be eternally grateful!

    Hi mwc6zp,
    I have come across exactly the same issue.  Same monitor, same laptop model and year, same everything.  The only way I can get it to work is by using the standard HDMI input to the laptop. 
    Were you ever able to work around this? 

  • HDMI bad resolution on second monitor macbook pro retina

    I just bought a second monitor for my macbook pro retina and connected it through a HDMI cable. To my surprise it did not play the full resolution it only plays 1360 x 768....
    I already tried the alt trick when showing display preferences, but no win either. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

  • External monitor for 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13"?

    I'm going to get a 13" Macbook Pro Retina 2013 model soon, and I was wondering if anybody knew of any good external displays that are under $300 I could use with the laptop? Preferably in the $100-200 range. I've been doing a little research, and it seems that a lot of people have problems with blurry text while using an external monitor with the retina macbook? I don't know much about external monitors, so I'd also like to know about the ports/adaptors I should use.

    So which input ports are best to use? I know there's ones like HDMI and DVI, so which is better to use?
    Modern monitors will likely have HDMI, DVI, and/or Display Port inputs. If you use HDMI then you will not need an adapter since your computer will have a HDMI port out. You will just need a HDMI cable. If you use DVI you will need a mini display port to DVI adapter and a DVI cable. Dual Link DVI is best but you will need a mini display port to Dual Link DVI adapter and a Dual Link DVI cable. If your monitor has a Display Port input you could use that.  vga will produce bad results compared to all the digital ports.
    Your selection depends on the monitor you get. To get the best display resolution use what provides the monitor with video at the monitor's native resolution.
    Use Google to compare the specifications of the different ports https://www.google.com/search?q=display+port+comparison+dvi+hdmi+dual+link
