"Out of Range" on LG Ultrawide Monitor on Mac Mini

I am currently running dual monitors
Primary: LG Ultrawide IPS 32" Monitor running at resolution 2560x1080
Secondary: AOC IPS 27" Monitor running at resolution 1920x1080
Every once in a while my primary monitor will go Blank and say "OUT OF RANGE"
What is causing this to happen?
I have to use the secondary monitor to close down all the applications and restart the computer.
Then everything goes back to normal.
It doesnt happen all the time. But it is starting to become more frequent.
How do I fix this?
Thank you
Clance

Hi,
I've also had this same problem using the 29" LG ultrawide screen.
Thanks for the two articles, I hoped that they would work. Seemed fine for the rest of the time that I was signed on but once I logged off and started the next day things went back to normal.
This has got worse for me since Yosemite was installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac

Hi
is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac
or is there another solution?
all i want to know is if i can run a second monitor or link a mac mini for more speed like i heard you can with the G5 Towers.

The iMac will allow you to connect a second monitor but that monitor will show the same thing as the iMac's built-in screen.
You can network a Mac mini and iMac via Ethernet or Firewire.
Software load sharing like Xgrid can allow you to share work between the Macs.

Dual monitor for mac mini

Trying to use two monitors with mac mini. One with HDMI and the with HDMI Mini port. Cannot get 2nd monitor to work
Any suggestions

What Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable are you using...?
Apple suggest using the > Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Others folks and reviews, suggest that a > Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable works as well.

Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini

I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini, I am using a HDMI to VGA cable to connect them. But no signal on my Philips monitor.
My Mac mini is in a good condition, it can connect with my HDTV, the BENQ monitor at my office, but I can't make it connect with my Philips monitor.
I dun know what happen.
Please help!
Thanks!

The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

Best LED TV to be used as monitor for Mac Mini (Late 2012 model)

Hi All,
I am having a mac mini (late 2012 model). Now, I am planning to buy a HD LED Tv from my home. So I would like to know which one will be best suited to be used as a monitor for mac mini so that I can buy a TV which will be used as both TV and Monitor
--jR

You'll want something that's 1080p. Best to have one with HDMI input, too. Other than that, let price and warranty be your guide.

2 monitors on Mac mini

Can I use two separate monitors w Mac mini.

Video Support
Works with almost any display or HDTV.

No signal to VGA monitor using Mac mini display to VGA adaptor and first time boot Mac mini

Just unpacked Mac mini and powered up using Mac mini to VGA display adaptor and VGA monitor. There is no signal to the monitor ( power is on).
How to see the display?

[ 13.093] (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section.
[ 13.093] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults.
[ 13.093] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
[ 13.093] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[ 13.093] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
Using a default monitor configuration.
First step would be to create the necessary entries (easier to make a complete xorg.conf versus xorg.conf.d/##-whatever.conf).
All Desktop Environments / Window Managers rely on X. Man pages are helpful, possibly some headaches ahead as I fought a dual-monitor display this way.
I currently run a xrandr script to switch displays on my hp pavilion: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Scripts

Can i use pc laptop monitor for mac mini?

I am going to be out of the country for a year - maybe in Africa, most likely in area not well served by technology. I have to use PC for work so have a think pad. I also have an ipad and a mac mini. I really want to take my mac mini (mm) - it bridges a gap between these two. It's small enough and I can use my bluetooth keyboard for both ipad and mm. I can only take a suitcase plus backpack...so I am really not gonna haul a monitor. Is there a way to use PC laptop as display for mm? Weird, I know but I can only take so much...
thanks for any help you can give. cheers

do you think one of these new USB powered mobile monitors (LED/LCD) might work - toshiba and lenovo both have them. they say they are compatible with any windows computer - but why not mac?

Dual monitors on mac mini

I'm trying to decide on a mac mini or whether I need a mac pro. How would I hook up two monitors to a mini ? I have an NEC PA241W with a Display Port, DVI and VGA array of graphic ports and a Samsung with a DVI and VGA port. I use them quite a bit for photo imaging editing.
Apple is telling me I need to go from the Thunderbolt mini output to the NEC and then go from the NEC to the Samsung for daisy chaining. I don't know if I could go into the monitor via Display Port and out to the Samsung via the NEC DVI port ? Or do I need to find a 3rd party "box" that will manage the connections and/or daisy chaining ?? Anybody know or have ideas ?
Thanks
Tony M

Mac mini comes with a HDMI to DVI Adapter. Then you can connect the NEC PA241W with the Display Port and the Samsung with DVI Port.
The Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter is like this:

Resolution of Samsung T220 monitor with Mac Mini (or any Mac)

I'm looking at a Samsung T220 or T220HD paired with a Mac Mini, or more probably new Mac Mini to be announced in Jan, 2009. The maximum resolution for the T220 is 1680 x 1050. The Samsung manual states that the T220 usually supports all Macs, but to check the "Preset Timing Modes" to ensure Mac is supporte for this model.
When checking the T220 user manual, the "Preset Timing Modes" section indicates only the following resolutions when connecting to a Mac:
MAC, 640 x 480
MAC, 832 x 624
MAC, 1152 x 870
Does this mean Mac owners can never get the maximum 1680 x 1050 resolution out of this and similar Samsung monitors, only 1152 x 870? If so, what's the point of investing in a good quality monitor that gives Macs only mediocre resolutions?
Any Mac owners getting 1680 x 1050 out of their Samsung T220 or T220HD?

Hi there
I just got a new Mac Mini and a 32 inch Samsung LCD 450 series. I am not sure of max resolution but I know it's a 720p set. I have been impressed with the plug and play set up via a VGA cable. But, I can not seem to figure out how to get the max resolution set up either.
The Mac display preferences only give me choices for standard monitor sizes that are not proportional to the Samsung screen, I have tired both 800 x 600 and the 1024 x 768 I have mixed and matched this with changing the picture proportions on the TV (16:9 vs 4:3). Things either seem stretched or overly square.
Am I missing something here, Is there somewhere else I should be looking for settings to tweak?
Any help or steering toward other resources would be most welcome.
Thanks, Josh

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Great CRT Monitor for Mac Mini

Having purchased a Mac Mini a few weeks ago I was horrified to read all the posts on this site reporting problems with monitors. In need of a new CRT monitor I asked the folks at Mac Zone for a recomendation and then placed an order for the 17" Viewsonic Ultra Brite E70F+ ($130 something).
When the monitor arrived a few days later I took it out of the box, plugged it into the Mini using the adaptor supplied by Apple and turned it on.
The rest, as the saying goes, is history! A great monitor and it works with the Mini (or at least My Mini) without a hitch.

Here's one that may be worth a look:
HP Compaq Smartbuy LA2206xc Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen Webcam LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (static) / 1000000:1 (dynamic) Built-in Speakers - Newegg.com
Whatever you buy under these many criteria, I strongly suggest you try before you buy. If that is not possible, get written commitment that all features you must have are compatible with your Mac.

17" monitor for Mac Mini

I'd been thinking of getting a Mac Mini with a 20" wide screen, but after using a 20" iMac, I found that I didn't really like using a screen that big, possibly because of a damaged vertebra in my neck. I'm still intending to buy a Mac Mini, but now my idea is to get a 4:3 17" screen. I'm thinking DVI and 75Hz. There seem to be lots of good, cheapish screens with these characteristics. There are quite a few here.
Is a 500:1 contrast ratio okay or do I need 1000:1 or 2000:1? Is 8ms response time okay, or do I need 5ms or 2ms? I do have a subscription to watch Champions League Football (Soccer). Finally, can anyone recommend a good manufacturer or (even better) a good model?
Michael

A 500:1 contrast ratio is perfectly good enough for prolonged use and a wide range of purposes. Much higher than that and the display has better characteristics than the eye can work with, though going a little higher would give you wider control.
Where response time is concerned, what is acceptable or not is dependent entirely on the proposed use. Faster response times (lower number) means less blurring of fast-moving images, though in reality that only really impacts more on images moving sideways across the screen rather that 'forward' or 'backwards'. 8ms is fine for most things, though for soccer with considerable movement laterally, 5ms would be better.
My own preference in the past has been for NEC, HP and the Dell UltraSharp range, though there are many good manufacturers out there, many using the same basic LCD panels (for example, Dell's utrasharp displays use the same panels as Apple in the cinema displays). If you can, check a variety of displays out in local BestBuy, CircuitCity or even Stapes stores to get some idea of the differences.
