Samsung Full HD TV as second monitor?

Hi,
I have a CORE 2 DUO 2.2GHZ MacBook capable of 1280 x 800 display on the internal display.
I am considering purchasing a 'Full HD' 1080p TV - the Samsung LE32A558:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32A558-A559-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B0015C58RW/
Will my MacBook support the 'Full HD' capabilities of the TV? In other words, when I connect the TV to my iMac via DVI will 1900x1200 (or similar) become a display option on my Displays preference pane?
Thanks.

Yes. There are separate panes for each monitor.
I can only get 1920 x 1080 in DVI mode on the external.. In VGA mode I can only get whatever the MB resolution is - 1280 x 800.

Full screen playback on second monitor results in having to force quit Premier if a window opens on the second monitor.

Run into this problem a few times now. If I have full screen playback going to my second monitor, and then I try to do something like link media and the link media window opens on that second monitor I can't figure out a way to get to it. I end up having to force quit. Because the link media window causes all other application buttons to disable while it is open I have not been able to find a solution other than force quitting, reopen and disable full screen playback, open link media window and move it to the other monitor and then again enable full screen playback.
Has anyone run into this? Am I missing an easy solution?

You need to set up your Graphics Card Application first eg A and B Monitors , side by side etc.
In my case..a NVidea Display Application does this from the Control Panel
Then the second monitor will appear in display setting (Premiere).
My second monitor is entirely dedicated to full screen playback display.

Watching movies on projector hooked up as second monitor

Hey all, here's a real good question for you. I currently have a projector (nec lt84 OLD!!!) and love it. It's hooked up to my G5 DC 2.0ghz with the 128meg geforce 6600lt (the stock video card with the dual core 2.0ghz). The projector's resolution is 1024x768 (it's native resolution is 800x600, but it runs interpolated at this higher resolution.) as I have it mirrored to a second monitor (LCD PANEL) that's at that resolution native. My projector is dying, and I'm getting a new one. I can't really afford to get one of the 1280x720 models, and I don't really watch anything on my projector except movies; which are a native 720x480. So the projector I'm looking at is a 854x480. The problem is I don't think the OS will really work well at that resolution. So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to make only the movies appear on the projector, and have the os and everything else run on the monitor at 1024x768? The projector will probably be DVI and the LCD PANEL is VGA (which I already have an adapter for to hook up to the DVI port on the G5.)
Good luck in answering!!

Actually those extra lines make all the difference in the world. Some windows in the OSX enviroment can't be resized. So, you end up dragging the windows around the screen to get to the top or bottom of the window. If you haven't noticed, you can't drag a window past the top of the screen. Try it. So if the particular window you have is bigger than 480 pixels tall, I won't be able to click anything lower than 480 pixels. A good example of this is the system preferences pane. If you have to click an apply button or something, no go. So, is there a way to make the movies go full screen on the second monitor?

Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

Second monitor use

I would like to view my work as I edit it on my prime monitor on a second monitor in order to get a view of the work as I edit on the prime monitor. Is this possible?

I have the Navigator panel open full time on my second monitor. It always shows the entire document. Is that what you mean?

The picture on my second monitor doesn't display properly.

I use a red epic camera and always shoot at 5k hd (2700X4800). It is impossible for me to get a full picture on my second monitor Eizo CW245. I have to play with the numbers in the display setting but still can't get it right. Also, speedgrade is showing my footage as 1345 X 2700.
Thanks

Put 1920x1200 (widht&height) for the Eizo, and use the zoom in the GUI.

Full screen video on 2nd monitor blacks out 1st screen

When I play a video full screen on a second monitor, iTunes blacks out the first screen and I can't see the Windows desktop. Is there a way around this?

I'm having this problem as well. Apparnetly the world thinks this is acceptable behavior. I do not. I'm trying to work and feed video from iTunes to an HDTV next to me. Why in the world would I want my 3 other monitors to blank???
Tripply amazing is that it's worked this way for quite a long time. Apple isn't fixing it, so they must think this is a great FEATURE.

How do I use my second monitor when first monitor in full screen??

How can I use my Samsung 193p as a second monitor?

I am trying to use my Samsung 193P Monitor as my second monitor. It usually has great contrast and good color when attached to my PC. I plugged it into my imac using a DVI to mini DVI adaptor I bought at the apple store. Now it has awful color and the whites are a muddy grey. There do not seem to be any drivers to download. I've called Samsung and Apple and they have no ideas. It is at 1280x1024. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Is there a way to get the monitor communicating with my imac?? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried again. The thing about the Samsung 193P is that it doesn't have any external "buttons" to push for contrast and brightness. You are supposed to use MagicTune to do this, but of course, that is not compatible with mac. Without any adjustments, it usually looks great on a PC. Do you think I could use my Spyder to calibrate it with the mac? Could I only calibrate the 2nd monitor? I don't want to adjust the new mac monitor in any way. Would that be an option?

How to set up a samsung 2433LW monitor as a second monitor?

I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE running on Windows 7 64bit. I have one monitor attached, a HP 2311x connected using one of the two available DVI ports. When I connect a second monitor, a Samsung 2433LW using the second DVI port, the second monitor is not recognised and has a black no input screen and the original HP monitor loses all shortcut icons and only the desktop background is visible.
Please advise how I can get my second monitor to work.
Thanks.

Does the Samsung 2433LW monitor work by itself on the computer???
It sounds like the Samsung is taking over as the primary display and the HP is becoming the secondary display. Try swapping the DVI cables in the back of the computer and see if that helps. Here is a photo of the back of the original display card in your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me Desktop Computer;

24" Intel iMac with Samsung T220 as second monitor

Hello!
Recently got an iMac with a Radeon 4850 video card which I am generally very pleased with, however..
Before I got it I used a Samsung T220 as my main monitor which provided a crisp and colourful display. When I got the iMac I decided to use it as a second monitor so ordered a miniDisplay port to DVI adaptor.
Now the issue is that while it appears to be allowing the T220 to output to it's maximum resolution (1680 x 1050) the picture still appears to be blurry. On top of this the colours appear washed out and the contrast (20,000:1) seems very low compared to when I used the monitor with my PC.
I've spent hours attempting to calibrate the monitor and playing around with colours and settings. I am using the DVI-D cable supplied with the Samsung.
Any thoughts? Do I need to update any drivers or software or is it something more fundamental.

Some display settings are stored in PRAM, so if you have not done so already, try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If there is a reset button on the display (often a recessed button), or a reset-to-default command in the display's on-screen menu, try using that as well.
There was one firmware update involving that video card
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMac_EFI_Firmware_Update_14
It may already be installed. You can check your current Boot ROM Version by running System Profiler and selecting Hardware in the sidebar.

Imac 27" Intel Core 7 CPU. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware scan and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back

Imac 27" Intel Core7 CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

Second monitor goes "blank" when first monitor goes full screen in Mtn Lion.

Hello Apple community. I am using two monitors and when I put a program like iTunes in fullscreen mode (with the arrow symbol in top right) the second monitor displays that grey patchwork and I can't move windows over there.
My question: Is there any setting to change this (so I could have one screen in fullscreen mode and the other screen on the desktop) or is this just the way it is?
Any info would much appreciated!
Thanks

It's just the way it is.
BetterTouchTool (free app, in the app store) has a little feature that resizes your windows to full size when you drag them near the top edge and returns them to the previous size when you drag them down again. I find this useful when using two monitors (saves you having to resize them manually).

How can i have a full screen preview of my photo on second monitor? I mean i want to live broadcast the result without save the file

I want to see the result of my editing on the second monitor for broadcasting

Window > Arrange and right at the bottom New window for (your file name)
You can drag this across to the second monitor, and work on either window. The results will be reflected in the other window. You can have each window at different zoom levels, so It's a useful trick for seeing an overall result of making a local edit while zoomed in.
Note: if your dual monitor workspace has panels open on the second screen, they will obscure the new window. So you would need to change the workspace back to something like Essentials.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.
