Question about HP 110-414 Dual Monitor

HP site says the 110-414 supports dual monitor and it looks like it does. But what adapter do I need? I bought a Passive DVI-D adapter no go. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jim

Qosmio x70-A-12 - question about the usage of external monitor

Hello,
am about to buy an external monitor and I was wondering what would work with my laptop.
I want it to work as an additional surface (Not a copy of my current screen) with both screens working at the same time.
My laptop seems to have a VGA port and an HDMI port.
I have already tried through the HDMI port with an old -probablybroken- monitor but that didnt work out.
I dunno if that's due to the monitor or my laptop.
I also tried searching for VGA monitors but when I checked the specs for my laptop it didnt list that it could connect a monitor via VGA....
Anyone knows what actually would work?..
thanks in advance!

As you already said: the notebook supports the VGA (RGB) monitor out port as well as the HDMI out port.
So you can use one of the ports in order to connect the external monitor.
Nowadays the HDMI port is a standard interface which is supported by almost all external monitors and I would recommend you to use the HDMI connection. The HDMI supports digital signals and provides better picture quality.
So its your choice now to pick a good working external monitor.

KDE4 - Questions about the desktop and multiple monitors.

Hi,
I'm giving KDE4 a try and find it pretty good so far. I do have a few questions though. I have two monitors running off an Nvidia card.
First question concerns the top of the screens. There seems to be an empty 'panel(?)' at the top of each screen. All that's in it is a grayed out cashew for the widgets. Unfortunately I can't move any window into the area covered by that bar or panel. Is there a setting somewhere I should change or is there a way to get rid of the top 'panels'?
The next concerns other desktops. What happens is that when I switch to desktop 2 my right-most screen goes black. It loses the wallpaper. I can move windows on to it and it performs ok. It's just weird that it's black. Again, is there a setting somewhere? Currently my xorg.conf is set up to use twinview. Should I try xinerama?
I have a directory called Desktop in my home dir. I have a few ".desktop" files in it. These are displayed on the screen in a large rectangle labeled "Desktop". However, when I tell KDE4 to display one of the standard menu items on the desktop it places them outside this rectangle. Is there a way to control this behavior and also to control the size of the rectangle?
Lastly, my "panel" or taskbar only appears on the left screen. Is there a way to spread it across both???
Thanks in advance.

Doesnt work on my second screen. When I right-click, I get the menu but when I select 'add panel' nothing happens.

Card to drive dual monitors

Wife has decided she wants to have dual monitors, and from what I've read, her current ATI 4350 has difficulties with that
A quick search shows that the ATI 4650 has two DVI output connectors, so SHOULD do what she wants with no problems
Any comments?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

The card has multiple outputs. Try it before you spend any money.
Well, you win the prize... the ATI 4350 does work... albeit with a LOT of trying different options to get it all to work properly
When I got home last night wife want to try RIGHT NOW and I was too tired to go back out... so I turned my computer off and "temporarily" moved my 24 inch monitor over next to her 24 inch
I know now why I found so many questions/complaints about setting up a dual monitor system
Hardware is easy... simply connect the 2nd monitor to the 2nd output... program/logic is NOT intuitive at all, so it took me about half an hour of clicking around to get things set up and working properly
Right now, I have borrowed "her" 2nd monitor back to check email and messages this morning, and as soon as I finish here my computer goes dark again so I can put "her" 2nd monitor back in place
Of course the good thing is... later today I go to Costco (only local store I could find with one in stock) to buy a 27 inch monitor for my side of the office

Graphics Card to drive Dual Monitors

I have just purchased a xserve and I want to run dual monitors. Are there any graphic cards I can put in the PCIe slot to with dual DVI out. On the website the 1900xt is supposed to work but is a double wide and I need the other slot for raid card

Question about dual-monitor setup - advanced dock + PCIe card

I just got a Z60t at work. I had been using a dual monitor setup, but it doesn't look like my current config is going to fly w/ the new machine. Anyway, here's what I've got:
Primary monitor: Acer AL2416W (1920x1200 DVI)
Secondary monitor: Dell 1901FP (1280x1024 VGA)
I've read that the advanced dock might be able to let me use this setup with the Z60t if i put a PCIe video card in it. So here are my questions:
1. Will the advanced dock + PCIe video card allow me to run the two monitors listed above (I don't use the laptop screen at all)?
2. Which PCIe cards are compatible with the advanced dock?
3. Can I achieve the same resolutions with the advanced dock + PCIe card?
4. Will I need to split the VGA output, or can i use VGA + DVI like I do now (since the Z60t has no native DVI support)?
thanks!

Gary -- don't turn on the OS Display Mirroring. Turn it off.
You want Aperture to control how it uses your dual monitors. (You do not want the OS to determine it.)
Once you've turned off the OS "Display Mirroring", the set-up I specified above should give you what you want.
That set-up is:
"View → Main Viewer → {anything}", and
"View → Secondary Viewer → Alternate"
You must have the Viewer active (not the Browser) in order to change the "Secondary Viewer" setting. If you are in the Browser, activate the Viewer by double-clicking an Image.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

PSE8 & Dual Monitor Question

I just connected an external display to my MacBook Pro & have a couple of very remedial questions.
I have the displays set up in the "extended desktop" mode. But when I open an image in ACR, I cannot drag the ACR window to my external display. Can you please help me here?
Also, for those of you using dual displays, I assume a desirable way to set up the 2 screens is to keep the PSE tools on one screen & the image to be edited in the other. I'm curious about how you set up your workspace.
Thank you very much.

Well, you're using dual monitors the way I've always heard it was to be done.
First unless the monitors are identical, it does seem like quite a logistics issue to have both screens color balanced and calibrated. So, obviously keep the image on the one that "prints best".
For the sake of disucssion, if both displays were very close to identical, I suppose you could use the "clone display" mode as a constant before and after.
My own slightly eccentric self would like to have one monitor vertical, and the other horizontal. This would present both horizontal and vertical images full frame simultaneously. As it stands now, I can get this, but I need two computers to do it.
I seem to be in a minority, as none of the current graphics drivers permit this, without one of the images being sideways that is. Is this too eccentric?

Being clear about what we mean by 'dual monitors'...

Yes, I know it sounds pretty obvious. But bear with me, please.
I've received a very helpful response to my earlier question about getting dual monitors to work with that mac mini that's sitting on the shelf waiting for me. But now I have another doubt; with 'dual monitors' does that mean I can see two different apps at once?
I work with two apps open all the time, because I need to refer to one whilst working in the other. So the dual screen approach is imperative for me, otherwise I'm constantly switching between those apps.
What I want is to (use Spaces to) open my two apps, and have one visible on one monitor, and the other on the other. Just like in Windows (sorry...)
What I DON'T need is to simply make my desktop larger so that it spans the width of two screens. (Or do I? Would this enable me to have two apps visible too?)
Please forgive my mac newbiness and tell me if this is possible. I can't wait to buy this thing.
Thanks for being here.
Jeff

Based on your previous post, I gather you intend to connect two displays via one per each of the offered ports on the back of the mini. This is supported, and should support mirrored (two of the same) or a spanned desktop. The spanning in the way Macs do it is similar to how you've seen in Windows, where the Taskbar doesn't necessarily extend across both monitors. You wouldn't really want or need your Dock extending across both monitors.
I am not aware of using dual monitors with one Space on each, but there really wouldn't be much point - you probably don't want two Docks and Menu bars with differing content on each. You can just as easily have two applications running and place one window on one display and one on the other - that works fine, just like it does in a similar Windows situation. The only time that gets peculiar is when you minimize an application, as it goes back to the Dock on the main monitor. If the application is on the secondary monitor, this means it zips back to the primary. If you are planning to use two applications at once, you probably won't be minimizing them all that often.

Dual monitor, and other questions....

I'm sorry for these questions if they've already been discussed... with all the back lash, I'm having a hard time wading through all the comments.
I have a macbookpro.
I use an external 24" monitor along with my 15" laptop for editing. My 15" is used for my canvas.
1: Can I use this set up with the new FCP X?
I use PPro CS5 currently and I like the way it handles media and saving my projects.
2: How does FCP X handle media?
2.a: Does it handle media like iPhoto / Aperture?
2.b: Are projects saved like in iMovie?
I keep all my media on external hard drives.
3: Will this be a problem with FCP X?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Tony

On my dual monitor Mac pro, the main monitor has the timeline and canvas. The second monitor has the events I think, basically the bin. You'd probably want to make your 24 the main monitor
FCP X handles media and projects a lot like iMovie. iTunes and iPhoto are accessed just like iMovie. You can save media to whatever drive you want although you can't really drill down to a particular location
Hope this helps

Mac and Windows with dual monitors Question

I use a Intel MacPro running Tiger with latest updates in my church. We use the Mac and Keynote 2.0.2 to present PowerPoint slides on the big screen (dual outputs). Everything was going well until the pastors upgraded to new computers running Vista and Office 2007. Now neither pastor's files will load into Keynote. It comes up with an error. The pastors have saved their files from PP as 2003 PPT files, and they still will not open. Error - unable to open file type. The one pastor went back to XP (dumped Vista) but still used the Office 2007 program and saved as PP2003, but the error still appears.
FYI - I noticed that Office 2007 saves with a file with the extension of .pptx instead of the .ppt. Checking the file they gave me shows that it is indead a .ppt file and not .pptx file. It makes no difference.
I believe it is an Office 2007 problem I'm dealing with. I have taken the .ppt file and loaded it onto the PC running PP 2003 and it loads fine, except for some format problems. I then resave it with a different name and tried to load that file (hoping it was converted) , with the same error showing. The problem is transfered with the file. Other files created with the PP 2003 program load fine into Keynote, so it has to be the Office2007 doing something.
So the questions are, is there an easy fix and still use the Keynote program, OR does Keynote 3 take care of this problem in the upgrade, OR should I install Win XP home or Pro and use parallels (which I have)? Would WinXP Home be enough to support the dual outputs and be fast enough? I am familiar with XP Pro not Home.
Any information you may have, could be a help. I need this resolved soon. I hate having to bring in the old Windows PC, after enjoying the quality of the Mac.

I have no issues streaming video on demand from all of the media sources which you have listed. My Mac mini is the Early '09, so my hardware is not as powerful as the newest Mac mini.
Dah•veed
Thanks David - glad to here the Mini supports dual monitors, and you're not having any streaming issues. Did you have any special settings, like "no hardware acceleration"? Are you streaming HD content?
If it supports dual monitors, then I would think the iPad could be used as a second display and input device - the demos I've seen with Air Display (from Avatron Software") would accomplish what I'm looking for. Here is a demo at http://www.vimeo.com/16950420 showing the iPad working with a Windows machine, but I've seen them working with Macs as well.
Thanks again

Question about using iMac 2011 as a monitor

hi ,, i have imac 2011 21'5
can i use as a monitor to play xbox 360 on it using mini displayport to hdmi cable ??
if no then is there way else i can play xbox on my imac screen

Frank:
Thanks so much for responding! One question about your post. When you say that the Mac Mini cannot boot in OS 9, does that mean that if I wanted it to hold Filemaker Pro 4 files (which runs on OS 9), that it cannot do this? We would not be running Filemaker on the Mini, just storing the files. We would run Filemaker off of our desktop computers. Sorry, I don't know a ton about computers, so sometimes I need clarification about the terms that people use.-Rob

Docked X60 - Dual Monitor question

Hi All !
I have an X60 docked on an X6 Ultrabase...I'd like to run a couple of HP 1740 TFT monitors off the laptop (without the integrated screen operational) in the usual FN + F7 fashion.
I thought I might be able to use one of these to split the output and run up both monitors in parallel ? Will this work and detect the dual monitor real estate or do i have no choice but to go with one of these
Hope you have some advice ?
Cheers
Scott

XFCE + dual monitor setup question

Hi,
I just used the wiki guides to install arch and xfce, the desktop is extended horizontally on my 2 monitors, I used aticonfig.
the problem is if I start a an application in 1 monitor I cannot drag it to the 2nd monitor, how do I achieve that?
thx.

@pinkfish, re etiquette, don't worry too much about it. I've seen worse and at least you're willing to take advice and a bit of constructive criticism. Some people I have seen on forums immediately fire a shot over the bow, to use a naval phrase, thinking they need to defend themselves from other forum citizens.
I meant to ask, are you trying to get one big desktop then or a "true" dual monitor (separate x-session) situation? You might want to try one then the other. I know when I had an ATI card I found it difficult, if not impossible, to get dual monitors working properly yet the big desktop option did work on most systems.

Dual monitoring question...

Hi,
I would appreciate any help i can get in regards to setting up a dual monitoring system on my power mac g4. I have the mirror door version which i believe has a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card (i may be wrong as i don't know much about this side of my computer) and it has two connections, DVI and VGA... I am currently using the DVI connection to run an original 17" apple cinema display off of DVI.
I am wanting to connect another one of these monitors and am wondering the cheapest way of doing this. Can i get a VGA to DVI convertor similar to DVI to VGA? or is there a PCI option?
Thanks.

First, check exactly what graphics card you have by running the system profiler. If you're not familiar with this, click on the Apple menu item at top left and select "About this Mac" Then click on "More info" to run the system profiler. Once that is up select "Graphics/Displays" to check which card you have. Anyone advising needs to know exactly which card you've got, guesswork might lead to suggestions that don't work.
You can simply plug another display into some cards that have multiple outputs, but some will only drive one display at a time. If you have in fact got a Radeon 9000 then you're in luck. You have an ADC connector and a DVI, and you can run a second display from the ADC connector by using an ADC to DVI-converter and a monitor with a DVI input. You could also use any old Apple monitors that take ADC connections with a suitable cable, but modern displays would be a lot better.
There used to be plenty of Mac PCI cards around and any of those would work in your G4, but the problem nowadays would be finding one. I got one on eBay for my G4 and it works a treat driving a second display, but that card is no longer easy to find and wasn't the best choice anyway. Your Radeon 9000 (if that's what you have) is a much better card.

Bridge Dual Monitors CS3 Workspace Questions

I can't seem to figure out a few things regarding running dual monitors. Run windows XP, have the latest bridge/cs 3 updates. Sometimes everything works fine, other times it doesn't.
I like having my preview pane on monitor #1, directly in front of me. I also like opening the selected photo in RAW from monitor #1 and having the RAW window come up on monitor #1.
Most often the RAW window will open up on Monitor #2, which I do not want to happen. On Monitor #2, I have my content pane and my metadata & folders showing.
I've reversed 1:2 and 2:2 and can't get it to work right either. Could someone provide some guidance? Been searching options and can't figure it out.
Another topic that is not related to dual montiors. Sometimes my preview tab, will not show the selected photo in it. I usually reset Bridge on start up and it'll be there...but sometimes the photo disappears. The tab will still be there. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I discovered that with dual monitors if the window is maximized it has no preview image (default workspace), just a green pane. If you use the double headed arrow and pull back the dividing line between thumb/preview pane or preview/metadata pane it revels dozens of "copies" of underneath. The preview will only show up when the thumb window pane is moved quite a ways to the left. It is almost like the real workspace is on the bottom and the others are on top.
The solution I have found is to click RESTORE DOWN (middle window icon) and then everything works correctly, even if I enlarge the window to full monitor. If I maximize it reverts again. Am using Vista and 2 monitors. Can work with this now that I know what to do, but a little puzzling. For anyone not seeing a preview image, or metadata, might be worth while to see if maximize window mode is the problem.
Perhaps you could experiment with maximize - restore down and see if it helps with your problem.
Probably get a better response if you post questions in Bridge question forum rather than feature forum.
