Monitor or TV for laptop

Hello,
I am looking to buy a bigger monitor for my work computer, its a laptop, compaq presario F700. I am hoping to get something around 32" or bigger. I saw a good deal on 32" TV's on the website but I'm not sure if they will work or not. I use 2 monitors right now at work, the laptop screen and an additional computer monitor (this is the one I'd like to be bigger). It doesn't have to be high definition, just big. I stare at the screen for many hours a day and my eyes get tired by the end of the day. So my question is what do I need to look for on a TV that would work with my laptop and/or what is the best deal on products you have that would give me the most size for the buck that will work with this laptop.

well thats where I'm having trouble. I'm trying to find a product that i can buy online without going to the store and physically looking at the TV to see if has a VGA input. The pictures on the website don't show all the inputs and outputs. I am looking at a TV and it says it has a component video input and a composite input, I don't know what these are or if they'd work. It also has 2 HDMI inputs. No mention of VGA and the chart that shows what all inputs it may or maynot have does not include VGA. Soooo..... how do I tell which TV have a VGA? If they don't, is there some sort of adapter I can get?

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

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.

Best Practice(s) for Laptop in Field, Server at Home? (Lightroom 3.3)

Hi all!
I just downloaded the 30-day evaluation of Lightroom, now trying to get up to speed. My first task is to get a handle on where the files (photos, catalogs, etc.) should go, and how to manage archiving and backups.
I found a three-year-old thread titled "Best Practice for Laptop in Field, Server at Home" and that describes my situation, but since that thread is three years old, I thought I should ask again for Lightroom 3.3.
I tend to travel with my laptop, and I'd like to be able to import and adjust photos on the road. But when I get back home, I'd like to be able to move selected photos (or potentially all of them, including whatever adjustments I've made) over to the server on my home network.
I gather I can't keep a catalog on the server, so I gather I'll need two Lightroom catalogs on the laptop: one for pictures that I import to the laptop, and another for pictures on the home server -- is that right so far?
If so, what's the best procedure for moving some/all photos from the "on the laptop catalog" to the "on the server catalog" -- obviously, such that I maintain adjustments?
Thanks kindly! -Scott

Hi TurnstyleNYC,
Yes, I think we have the same set-up.
I only need 1 LR-catalog, and that is on the laptop.
It points to the images wherever they are stored: initially on the laptop, later on I move some of them (once I am am fairly done with developing) within LR per drag&drop onto the network storage. Then the catalog on the laptop always knows they are there.
I can still continue to work on the images on the network storage (slightly slower than on laptop's hard drive) if I still wish to.
While travelling, I can also work on metadata / keywording, although without access to my home network the images themselves are offline for develop work.
2 separate catalogs would be very inconvenient, as I would always have to remember if I have some images already moved. No collections would be possible of images including some on the laptop, some on the network.
Remember: a LR catalog is just a database with entries about images and the pointer to their storage location.
You can open only 1 DB of this sort at a time.
There is no technical reason for limiting a LR-catalog - I have read of people with several hundert thousand images within one.
The only really ever growing part on my laptop with this setup is the previews folder "<catalog name> Previews.lrdata". I render standard previews so that I can do most of the work for offline-images while travelling.
The catalog itsself "<catalog name>.lrcat" grows much slower. It is now 630 MB for 60'000+ images, whereas previews folder is 64 GB.
So yes, I dedicate quite a junk of my laptop hard disk to that. I could define "standard"-previews somewhat smaller, fitting to the laptop's screen resolution, but then when working at home with a bigger external monitor LR would load all the time for the delta size, which is why I have defined standard-preview-size for my external monitor. It may turn out to be the weakness of my setup long-term.
That is all what is needed in terms of Lightroom setup.
What you need additionally to cover potential failure of drives is no matter of LR, but *usual common backup sense* along the question "what can be recreated after failure, if so by what effort?" Therefore I do not backup the previews, but very thoroughly the images themselves as well as the catalog/catalog backups, and for convenience my LR presets.
Message was edited by: Cornelia-I: sorry, initially I had written "1:1-previews", but "standard previews" is correct.

T500: restart with 2nd monitor plugged in changes laptop monitor resolution

If I plug my monitor in after the laptop starts, it works fine, I can extend desktop to the monitor.
If I reboot with the monitor plugged in the laptop display resolution is reduced , messing up my icon layout. Anyone know how to change this behavior? I am assuming this is probably because it assumes I am in a docking station or something?

Unable to view Premiere Elements on my second monitor (attached to my laptop)

No "playback settings" option shows up under project settings (which seems to be the way to resolve this?) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

laurelgr
I have just looked at what you described for your Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 Professional.
In my case, I used Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop.
Independent of Premiere Elements 12, the Control Panel Display offered 4 choices
1. Duplicate these displays
2. Extend these displays
3. Show desktop only on 1
4. Show desktop only on 2
There were no problems with "Duplicate these displays" except monitor 2 had full screen whereas monitor 1 did not. At this point, non adjustable.This was the case whether Premiere Elements was involved or not involved. And, I do not see this choice as worthwhile for the limited functionality of the Premiere Elements 12 Window Menu/Dual Monitor feature.You end up with each monitor showing the Timeline panel with no where to go.
Now if you select Extend these displays, this probably is more intended for the Premiere Elements Dual Monitor feature. You get both monitors, each full screen view. However, monitor 2 has only the Taskbar at the bottom of its monitor screen. For details on the Premiere Elements dual monitor feature, please refer to
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Dual Monitor Workflow Concerns
Please review and then we can discuss this further.
If the feature that you seek is not there for you in Premiere Elements 12, please remember to get your money back under the Adobe 30 day money back if you purchased the product from Adobe.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thank you.

Speakers with S/PDIF connection for laptops

Does anyone in this noble forum know of a 2-speaker, portable system with an S/PDIF connection on the speaker side for laptops with a S/PDIF OUT connction?
Thank you!!

Xorg.conf for laptops with 2 vga controllers and an hdmi port

Hi
I installed arch on my laptop and was quite happy that it worked so easily. The only problem at the moment is that the display connected to the hdmi port isn't detected. For example running from the gnome control centre the display applet then 'detect' only detects the laptop display, even though there is a 2nd monitor connected to the laptop via the HDMI port. I suspect that the problem is xrandr is not detecting the monitor connected to the HDMI port. How can I fix this?

Curious how well you got this working (and working with the nvidia driver). I have the same issue, and got it working using the intel and nouveau drivers. However, I am unable to drag windows to the second screen, use desktop effects, or modify the layout with xrandr. I tried installing the nvidia driver alongside the intel one, however there is a conflict between nvidia-utils and libgl that won't allow that.

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:
I have several managed Macs running Leopard. Many of them are MacBook laptops. My main MCX policies involve mapping printers and mounting network volumes at login. These are simple computer and group policies to help make the users life a little easier when it comes to finding and using network resources such as file server volumes and network printers.
Since most of my users are laptops, they are expressing 2 major concerns involving their laptops when they are off the LAN (i.e.; on the road at a cafe, working at home, staying at a hotel or when they have no network at all)
1) When users are off our LAN, the Mac still tries to mount the network volumes in their OD/MCX login items when the user logs in (with cached mobile credentials). Can this be avoided? Windows PCs do not do this. If the PC laptop cant find an AD DC, they simply don't run the login scripts and thus dont try to mount/map network volumes. How can I make the Mac laptops only mount network volumes when they are on the LAN?
2) Most Mac users have a Cisco VPN client, and use it regularly to connect to the company's LAN from home, hotels etc. Of course when they log into the network via VPN, their network volumes are not mounted automatically. Is their a way to re-run the MCX managed login items script once they connect to the VPN and mount (i.e.; "map") their network drives? Sure, users can simple use the "Connect To Server" option in the FInder (or perhaps try and use the god-awful Leopard Finder side bar discovery browser thingy which I hate - never mind), but I need a consistent automated way to mount volumes quickly and easily for my mobile users. There must be a way to run (or re-run) the login items part of my MCX policies.

Ping!
I'm looking for this functionality too. Anyone have a solution to either of these? One that came to mind is to wrap the login items in a script which detects if the LAN is available.

Upgrade question for laptop to run PPro CS6/CC

All,
I've spent the last several days reading, researching and generally getting up to speed on what my options are re hardware moving forward, and though I've been a lurker/user of these forums (and others) for years, this is my first time engaging directly now that I feel I know a bit more. I must also say how incredible a resource the regular users like Harm Millard have been to self-taught but enthusiastic newbies like me - thank you!
I've been a longtime self-taught, relatively light but still barely pro Premiere Pro user for the past ten years. For the past couple of years, I've been barely getting by using CS4 on my once-top-of-the-line Dell Precision M6500 laptop running Win7 Pro 32-bit. The M6500 is by far my favorite PC I've ever owned and is still rocking, even with older specs (listed below), but it is time to grow up, bite the bullet and (hopefully) upgrade this machine so that I can take advantage of CS6/CC and do a bit more heavy lifting (basic color correction, light After Effects, etc).
I currently shoot on a Sony AX2000 in AVCHD, but am starting to do more work on my Canon t3i and am close to moving up to a Canon 5D mk3, so will be using more HD MOV files in the near future, possibly alongside the old AVCHD footage. Most of my exports are for HD web uploads, but also occasionally export to DVD. I do not anticipate stepping up to Red footage or the like in the near or mid future.
My current laptop specs are as follows:
Win7 32-bit
4GB RAM
Intel i7 quad core M620 (2.67GHz)
500GB 7200rpm HDD
Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M
I've already ordered a RAM upgrade to get me to 16GB, have Win7 64-bit ready to install, and just bought 2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDD (Western Digital). Instead of investing in an all new machine (laptop or desktop), and considering the amazing stability and longevity (so far) of the M6500, I'd like to try and see if I can get this machine to a place where I can take advantage of CS6/CC and have it run stably and somewhat fast. I realize it's not the best option, and that getting an all-new tricked out desktop is the preferred option, but for budget reasons, that's not possible right now.
Here's my plan:
Upgrade so that system will be:
Win7 64bit
16 GB RAM
2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDDs (internal)
rest of the system listed above would remain the same as above - namely CPU and graphics card
The machine can also support a mSATA mini SSD (up to 256GB), but I haven't splurged for that yet. I'm trying to figure out whether to use the two new HDDs in RAID 0 and have the OS, project files, cache, source footage and export files all on those two RAIDed drives, or whether it would make a truly huge difference to add another internal SSD as the boot/OS/Program Files drive and leave the RAID 0 configuration to handle all video and project files. I've read enough to assume that adding the SSD is the preferred option, but it's pricey, and what I'm trying to determine is whether or not it's really worth the cost vs a straight 2-HDD RAID 0 configuration.
I've read a lot about the dangers of RAID 0, but am not too concerned about failures since I use an online backup system (Sugarsync) for all my document files (this machine doubles as my main work PC) and I regularly back up all source and exported video files.
On a separate note, I realize that my graphics card is not listed among the supported cards for CS6/CC - is that going to cause stability and/or significant performance issues, or will it work since I won't be doing 4k/Red files? Is the CUDA hack an option for me? I have the option of upgrading the card to a supported card (Nividia M5000), but it's hugely pricey (close to $2k) and unless it will make the machine an absolute stud for years to come, it's not worth it.
So in short (yeah right ), here are my questions:
Does my proposed new system have the juice to handle what I want to do?
Which HDD setup is preferred, and by what degree (do I absolutely have to get the SSD to make this work?):
2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDDs in RAID 0 for the entire machine
1 x SSD (what size is minimum recommended?) as boot/OS plus 2x750GB HDDs in RAID 0
Will my existing Quadro 2800M graphics card make the other RAM/HDD upgrades a waste of money?
Is my existing CPU powerful enough to warrant these other upgrades?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help you guys can provide!
Van

Van,
Tough love - I'm going to give you my honest opinion here, but it does make me feel bad since you seem to have already ordered parts before you posted.
1. In a word no. Your processor is dual core. You really want at least quad core + hyperthreading for the media that you will be pushing around. The Quadro 2800M only has 96 CUDA cores and DDR3 (slow) memory. BTW, task manager shows 4 "cores" when you have a dual-core + hyperthreading.
2. I'd choose 2. - much nicer - worth the cost
3. yes
4. no
So what to do if you cut bait on your current plan and get a new laptop. Check out recent (< 6 mths old) threads here for lots of discussion at various price points. Gamers laptops and Sager/Clevo models definitely offer the best bang for the buck for laptops to run Premiere, mostly due to the GTX video line trouncing the Quadro line for performance for the price. I loved the Dell M6500 in its time. If you want to replace it with something current day the M6700 is good, but I like what HP is doing for the 17" workstation class even better in 2013. If you can buy a few months, I suspect the new smaller die size 22nm Intel cpus will be really help for laptop performance (desktops have just about all the cpu cooling capacity required, but in laptops cooling through tiny tiny coolers and tiny, tiny, quiet fans is way limited - so, the new lower wattage, cooler 22nm cpus should be much larger boost for laptop users than workstations).
I suspect that I would really enjoy editing on a well thought out $1500 Asus, even better on a $2200 Sager, and would have similar performance with the support of HP or Dell at closer to a $3000 price point for the media you mention above. ADK sells Sager/Clevo laptops and has much better support for video (and audio) editors than HP or Dell ever dreamed to provide; prices would be a bit more than www Sager dealers but ADK is a no-brainer if you want "real" support and a machine that is tweaked for Adobe.
Regards,
Jim

Using Visio 37" HDTV (not monitor) as Display for mini

I really WANT to buy my FIRST Apple mini as my only computer! Will it work with my Visio 37" HDTV? I want to buy a cable that has the HDMI connector at one end for the TV and DVI on the other for the mini. Can it be that simple???
Thanks for input. I want to go to the Apple Store Friday!!!

I was in the same "boat" about wanting to use an LCD for a monitor. But, due to the higher resolution of a dedicated computer LCD vs a TV/LCD I opted for a Dell 24" Ultra Sharp W2408WFP to get the maximum capabilities out of my Mac Mini. Yes, the monitor is expensive, for me about $599 plus $45 shipping but included a 3 year warranty. However, unlike a traditional TV/LCD's resolution of approx. 1366 x 768 you will get the full 1900 x 1200 with the Dell 24" monitor (as with most other quality 22"-24" computer monitor's.
Now that is important if you are going to use this display hooked up to your Mac as a desktop, i.e. web browsing, various app's etc. The higher resolution will make the fonts and fine details of what you are looking at much clearer than what you are looking at with a TV/LCD. PLus, with a 32" LCD you will need to sit that bad boy a good 3 to 4 feet from your face in order to focus properly. However, if like many users of Mini's you will use it mainly as an entertainment hub for movies and itunes than I believe the TV/LCD such as the 32" Vizio (I have one in fact) would make for a better investment.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.
