MBP Retina low performance with external displays

Hi everyone!
I have a very bad performance with my MBP 15´´ retina display when it comes to ad an external display. I have a FUL HD LG monitor that looks very bad when i connect the HDMI or the thunderbot port with the proper adapter (as bad as you can´t even read). I want to know if this may ba a hardware problem just with my computer or if it is a software problem, any ideas? does anyone have the same issue?
How can i update my NVIDIA card???
Thanks a lot!

Topic seems to come up here often. Apple has a tendency to dismiss the issue.
Its a pretty well known problem that Mac font smoothing doesn't seem to work well on high resolution third party external displays, making text hard to read. In addition, I think the Mac HDMI resolution support is limited to 1080p, so you must use DP or DVI video interfaces to see full monitor resolution.
The OS default is no font smoothing on external displays (except perhaps the apple display). There is a terminal command that will enable font smoothing for any external monitor, but it often doesn't work well enough. I found that using the OS zoom feature magnifies text to the point to be easily readable. You can set zoom parameters in the accessibility systems preference panel.
For some reason, sometimes the Mac OS thinks some monitors are TVs and use YCbCr instead of RGB. You can open the color sync utility and brouse the settings to see what is being used. There are scripts available that can fix that but are more complicated to install than an app.
It seems that PCs are way ahead of Macs with external display implementation. Most folks having monitor problems with a Mac do not see the same issue with PCs or Unix/Linux OSs.
Oh as far as updating the video card, can't. The monitor  "drivers" are built into the OS. When a new display is connected, the OS finds the profile for it.

  • Macbook pro retina quit working with external displays

    Just got a new external display, and can't get it to work with my MBP. I tried it via the mini display port and also via the HDMI connection. Then I tried to use my flatscreen tv just to test things out via HDMI and now that doesn't work either, I've done that quite a bit in the past. The only thing thats changed is I updated to Yosemite. I even tried different cables.
    Thoughts?
    Txs,
    Jeff

    When I unplug the cable from the mac, the monitor does display this message:
    "No Display Port Cable"
    So it does seem like the display knows that its connected to a mac, just nothing shows up. Don't get anything in System Prefs > Displays either.

  • Performance with external display

    Hello,
    when I'm connecting my 19'' TFT to the MacBook the performance (with the same applications runnig) is realy bad. It tooks longer to switch between apps and if I don't use an app for some time, it can took up to 30 sec to "reactivate" the app.
    Because the HD is working when I switch apps, it looks like the OS is swapping. My question: Would it help to upgrade the MacBook to 2GB ram? AFAIC the intel card uses shared memory.
    Thanks for your help
    Till
    MacBook 1.83 GHz/1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    How much RAM do you have? Remember that the MB does not have dedicated VRAM like some computers do and that it uses the system RAM to drive the graphics chipset.
    I use my MB with the mini-DVI to DVI adapter to drive a 20" widescreen monitor without any of the problems that you describe, but I have 2GB of RAM. If you only have the stock 512MB of RAM, that may be part of what you are seeing.

  • Laggy window performance with external monitor and USB hub after 8.1 -- possible cause found

    I have the Yoga 11s which I've been using in conjunction with a Plugable UD-3900 for a few weeks now. Everything has worked very well, especially with external display, keyboard, mouse, and ethernet plugged into the hub.
    After upgrading to 8.1 the other day, I began getting very noticeable window and mouse lag on the external monitor. Dragging windows would jump around, aero peek renders were slow, and the 'ribbon' screen saver would pixelate and was slow to wake up.
    I installed the updated DisplayLink drivers, and also all the updated Lenovo drivers, but the problem remained. This morning I was trying different ideas and found something very interesting:
    The configuration I use when attached to the UD-3900 is to have the keyboard flipped under and the display flipped up in the "stand" so I can use it as a second monitor. Of course when you do that, the Yoga turns off the keyboard & touchpad so they don't get accidentally pressed.
    Just for kicks, I decided to flip the keyboard back around and try using the touchpad to move windows around on the extended monitor. Surprise: the laggy window dragging and rendering was gone. And then even more surprising, when going back to the wireless mouse while still in 'laptop' configuration, everything continued to work well -- no lag.
    I thought maybe it was an incompatibility with the Logitech wireless USB keyboard/mouse itself, so I disconnected it. However, I also have a bluetooth Microsoft mouse, and it does the exact same thing: With laptop keyboard flipped back & disabled, window drags & aero peek renders lag. As soon as I activate the touchpad, lag is gone, and the BT mouse behaves normally.
    So, it seems to be some kind of interaction between the automatic disabling of the Yoga's keyboard/touchpad and any external mouse. Has anyone else seen anything similar? Any ideas on how to solve so I can use the Yoga in the stand configuration?

    Just to close the loop on this, I've determined that the cause of my issue is the Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework software/driver. I've disabled in the BIOS for now, and the machine is working very well. Will look for an update from Lenovo to address more definitively.

  • No Wireless Internet with External Display, Other Issues

    Hello,
    When I connect an external monitor to my MBA, I lose my connection to the Internet. The wi-fi signal remains strong, but pages will not load (I tried many) and I cannot retrieve email. The connection times out when I try to ping as well. This occurs whether I have the MBA open or closed. The loss of Internet happens immediately when I connect an external display using the supplied dongle, and returns the moment I disconnect it. It is clearly an issue with external displays.
    On the advice of an Apple Genius, I also tried disabling bluetooth. I did so, and turned off all my bluetooth devices (Apple keyboard and mouse, iPhone), but the problems persist.
    The other trouble I am having is difficulty connecting to a network for the first time in a session. In other words, I was connected all day yesterday, take the MBA home, and return to the office the next day. MBA takes a long time to see the network, then fails to accept the password. If I carry the MBA closer to the wireless router, it finds and connects automatically as I'd saved my password. When I return to my desk, I remain connected with full signal strength. This has happened in two locations, one with an Airport Extreme, the other with a Netopia 802.11g router. When my Macbook Pro is sitting right next to the MBA, it recognizes and connects to the same networks almost instantaneously.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.

    Just a quick update... I was on the phone with Apple Support on Saturday morning and I thought we were making progress. The basic idea behind the proposed solution was that there was some "Preferences" that were causing the problem. We started over with a clean Preferences folder and tried connecting up the external monitor. At first, this approach was showing progress. The suggestion was to copy over my original Preferences (I had made a backup copy) just a few at a time until we figured out which ones caused the problem. The problem with this approach is that immediately after I got off the phone, the internet started not to work again. So, even with a clean Preferences folder, the internet would quit working after connecting up the external monitor.
    So, I'm back to the drawing board. I have since restored my Preferences folder and I don't have my external monitor and internet working at the same time. BTW, I also upgraded to 10.5.3 and it didn't help.
    Still bummed,
    Kevin

  • Help with external displays

    Just installed Lion and afterward I noticed that things work differently with external displays. In the past I could have my laptop open to mirror but now it must be  shut and the mirrior button or selection isn't available within the display preferences. So my question is, 1. does any one know how to better manage displays? and 2. does anyone know how to mirror while having the laptop screen open?
    I know trhis sounds petty but where I work it is very hot and it seems like with the screen shut the computer syncs heat away a lot less efficiently.
    Thanks

    Thanks,
    I now know how to turn on and off mirrioring with command/F1 (didn't know that yet), but would you know how I can use my external display in mirror mode with the laptop display completely turned off, not dimmed till black, but off?
    Before lion I was able to do this by shutting the laptop screen which would put the machine  into sleep mode and then  by clicking the mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard it would wake it. Once the external display came on then I would open the laptop and the laptop display would remain off while using the external display. Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?

  • Using Macbook retina with external display

    Hello,
    Currently I have a MBP 15" and use it on a daily basis with both the built-in display and an external 20" (1680x1050) display. I'm getting a new MBP retina and don't know how OS X is going to manage two displays with such a big difference in dots per inch. Will the "retina-ready" apps look just fine on the retina and enormous on the external? Has anyone tried a configuration like this?
    Thanks in advance.
    -- Pedro

    It will handle two displays exactly like it presently does.  Each monitor has it's own respective resolution.  One monitor's resolution has no bearing on the other when using extended display mode. 
    The only problem I can see is using mirrored mode since the screen size will be limited by the smallest resolution in the mirrored set.  But I never recommend mirrored mode anyhow (except for presentations).  It's such a waste of good display real estate.

  • HT3131 Operating MBP in closed clamshell mode with external display

    I have a new MBP retina display.  Trying to operate in a closed clamshell mode.  I connect a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse.  My external display is a Dell 2007FP display screen connected via a VGA adapter.  Whenever I close the computer lid to operate in clamshell mode the screen goes to sleep/power save mode.  Have tried various combinations of attaching keyboard and mouse first then screen, switching computer off on etc.  The external display states there is "no signal coming from computer"...any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciate

    Congratulations on taking one more step in becoming more self sufficient in tech stuff.
    But I have to wonder why you spent so much on a Retina display only to have it cooking uselessly there.

  • MBP randomly crashes when in clamshell with external display

    Hi Mac people.
    As described in the "subject field" i have been encountering some random crashes after i startet using my MBP in clamshell with my newly pruchased 24" 16:10 NEC display .
    typically it occurs after about 10-20 minutes of playing world of warcraft.
    -the screen goes black, saying no signal, and the MBP doesn't react to anything else but holding down the on/off button.
    i have tried using the key combination alt-cmd-eject to see if i could make the computer sleep and then turn it on by opening the lid.-getting it out of clamshell to get the built-in display active again.
    but none of that worked.
    i also checked the dvi<->mini-displayport adapter for lose connections but i didn't find any
    i have had my NEC display for about a month, and the problem has occured about 8 times now.
    befor i started using my MBP in clamshell with an external display, i had no problems.

    Lets give it a try. 1st of all post your s/n (so I can run a check on your specific model) or check with system profiler if your machine has the NVidia Geforce 8600 M GT. Or see for yourself: http://www.chipmunk.nl/cgi-fast/applemodel.cgi
    IF SO:
    Surely, you've heard about the generic problems with this specific video chip: sooner or later most of them will fail due to chip packaging/bonding issues. If yours has not failed before, it may be doing so now because you're driving it harder with a larger external monitor attached, thus probably running the affected videochip hotter. Very useful link: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/MacBookProvideofailure.html#novideotip , loads of other useful links on the subject therein.
    To solve this, Apple has instigated an extended warranty, so do not tread on the tail of your machine's capabilities any more. Once it will not boot (which may eventually happen), it gets really hard to run diagnostics. Have it checked by at least 1, preferably more ASPs (see link), and kindly ask them to reiterate the test 2 or 3 times. Often, the problem will not show up on the 1st try.
    I am reading increasing numbers of questions and complaints about this on the Flemish/Belgian Apple forum "Intermactivity", most users seem to be unaware of the problem (though this has been common knowledge for years), and moreover, most ASPs are reluctant to acknowledge it.
    So if your machine is one of the affected, you will really have to stand your case. Especially in Europe!

  • Issues with External Displays on my Macbook Pro Retina

    Hello -
    My apologies for starting a second thread back to back, but I thought I'd keep these two issues separate
    I've been using two external displays off of my Macbook Pro Retina for some time - one off of the HDMI port and the other off of a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.  Everything was absolutely perfect until the most recent update.  Immediately after that, whenever the macbook wakes up, the two external displays go into this black and white snowy mode (like the HBO logo, or that thing from poltergeist) and takes a minute or two to start working properly.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    Just browsed the forum and found a fix which solve the issue in my context: Google Chrome Play Music app was actually swallowing the media keys events, preventing iTunes to get them.
    Still don't really understand why it impacts only iTunes in my case, however once the Play Music app uninstalled from Chrome via the Extensions pane of the Settings page, iTunes got its media keys events back.
    See this thread for reference:
    Media keys not working on MacBook Air
    Cheers

  • MBP Retina running warm with Yosemite....

    My MBP retina display is running warm since installing Yosemite. I also get an occasions "not-responding" items in red on my activity monitor. I can close them but they come back every once in a while.
    A little background: I had Yosemite uninstalled and reinstalled to try and fix the issue, but it came back after having the Apple guys reinstall Yosemite.
    The computer isn't really hot, but I can hear the fans on low, which I never heard before. Previously, I couldn't hear the fans at all unless I was stressing the computer out.
    Any ideas? I can post a picture of the Activity Monitor with the items in red. I'll be heading into Apple if I can't figure out what's wrong. Thanks for any help ahead of time.

  • MacBook Pro with external display sometimes

    I want to use my MacBook Pro with my external display (Apple 23 inch Cinema) when I'm at my office, and to have Spaces set up and optimized for that. When I'm at home or on the road, I want Spaces set up differently, optimized for the MacBook Pro display only (no external display). Can I do this? Do I need to set up separate accounts on the MBP to do this, or can I do it some other way? Can you have sets, or multiple instances of Spaces? Otherwise, I want both options -- at work with MBP display plus Apple 23 inch Cinema or MBP display only -- to be able to access all of my files and software. The only real difference in the two setups would be the amount of screen real estate and where/how Spaces works within these different screen "landscapes."

    You will always have to use the power button to turn it on, and you'll have to open the display for that.
    Apple supports using the machine with its display closed, provided you follow the instructions in this article. As long as you do that, it shouldn't cause any harm. But I wouldn't recommend seeing how hot you can get the MBP with the display closed.

  • Unable to install OS X 10.4 with external display

    My display died quite awhile ago (broken hinges, broken cables, etc etc) but since then I've used an external LCD display without problems. Once I set the display to mirror, everything has been working great.
    However, I tried to install OS X 10.4 and discovered that, after booting up from the disc, the install program wants to display everything only on the nonexistent original monitor. If I keep moving the mouse to the right, it eventually appears on my external monitor. But pressing F7 won't toggle back to mirror mode -- the toggle capability seems to be disabled or something.
    Any suggestions? Is there some way (hardware-based or maybe command line?) to tell the machine that the original display no longer exists and to only use the external display?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi, llkohler. The limited-purpose OS on the installer disc that underlies the installer application and boots the computer probably doesn't expect to have its life complicated by a second monitor, and doesn't contain the code that would allow you to toggle the display mode. If I were you, I'd look to connnect the Powerbook to another Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode (with the PB as the Target) and perform the installation on it from the host Mac. Once you get Tiger installed, you should be able to toggle the display mode on it in the usual way.
