Mirroring means exactly the same thing will be on each screen. They both must run at the same format to mirror one another.
If you turn mirroring off, then the two screens can be set independently to their optimum resolution.
As far as your second question goes, I'm not sure. Are you saying that even when in mirror mode the second screen goes blank? In that case, I guess that means the game is taking control of the settings and turning mirroring off to free up maximum amounts of VRAM for the game. It's probably best that is happening because the game would no doubt experience a graphics slow down with less video memory at its disposal.

21.3" Samsung LCD Monitor with my 15" Macbook PRo

Hi.. I have a 15" Macbook pro and I recently hooked iit up to a 1600 x 1200 resolution samsung monitor. I would like to use mirror display but it looks terrible because they both use the same resolutions. Is it possible to use the mirror display mode while having the proper resolutions for each monitor? Also.. is it possible for the secondary screen to not go blank when playing full screen games? thanks

Elements 10 gives warning with 23" Samsung LCD Monitor

Recently installed Elements 10. When starting Elements 10, get warning: The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. Please rerun you monitor calibraiton software. Elements 10 then gives the user the option of ignoring the profile or using it. Contacted Samsung, they said that they do not have a calibration program. The Samsung monitor is a SyncMaster 2343BMX. Has anyone run into this problem and if so how did they resolve the problem. Thanks.

Hi ghugh999,
If you're running Windows 7 you may want to try refreshing the ICM profile from within Windows itself.
This can be done by right clicking your desktop...
>screen resolution>advanced settings>colour management>colour management...>advanced(tab)>calibrate display
...and then following the steps in there.
Following it through to the end you'll have the option to overwrite your screen's ICM profile and this may work better with Elements.
Hope this helps.

Blank screen, Intel Mac mini, Samsung P23700 LCD monitor; HELP!?!

I just got a new 23" Samsung LCD monitor and hooked it up to an Intel Mac mini. Turning on the system results in a blank screen with the monitor simply displaying a dialog box that seems to show that it is trying to figure out if the incoming signal is digital or analog. This dialog box is on for a few seconds and then the monitor goes to sleep. The monitor realizes that there is a signal coming in; As soon as I disconnect the DVI cable I get the standard "Check Signal Cable" on the monitor's screen. I don't even get the initial white screen on the Mac boot up. nothing. just the monitor's confused signal identifying dialog.
I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection, with the same result.
I've also tried the monitor with an older PowerPC based Mac mini with the same result.
Both Macmini's work with out a problem when connected to my 32" LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable.
I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm; I think that fact has been the most painful part of the process up to now.
The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz. I can't get a resolution like that on the Mac's display settings. I've only been able to hook it up to the LCD TV, and the display settings when hooked up to the TV are limited to LCD TV settings; i.e. 1080i. I've also tried setting the mac mini to 800x600 but still get no picture.
Resetting PRAM etc. didn't help either.
I'm stuck... any ideas people?

I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable...
That should work.
and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection...
That won't work. Once you go from DVI to VGA from the mini, you need to stay VGA. There is no going back to digital. So try DVI to VGA and then a VGA cable to the Samsung.
I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm;...The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz.
I wouldn't call that working like a charm. 1280 x 800 at 40Hz is a completely bizarre resolution for a 23" monitor, or any monitor. I would begin wondering if you got a bad monitor if that's the best it can do.

Dual logging: macbook and samsung 2233bw lcd monitor: missing drivers

hi,
this x-mas i got a samsung lcd monitor. it is connected via dvi, and it's great to have all this extra screen space to play with. i have an issue, though. my new monitor is unable to take advantage of all the graphic features because the driver that came on the samsung c.d. is for windows os. there is no driver download for mac osx on samsung.com. i don't really feel like buying huey pro or spyder 2 colorvision. what can i do to 'unlock this monitor's potential?'
thanks and happy new year

well you don't actually need "drivers" for a monitor. the only thing beneficial would be a color profile. the cd probably contains some of those. but profiles need to be monitor, not monitor-model/series specific, as such, bundled profiles are just a "rough guide".
Since you cannot use the cd, you could try calibrating it with the colorsync utility in your applications->utilities folder. There are also some other better calibration tools on the net. a quick search yields good results.
but these eye-calibrations are never as good as the hardware calibration tools. maybe you know somebody who could lend you one?

Late 2009 Macbook aluminium Output to Samsung LCD (SyncMaster 710T) problem

Have bought a Mini-Display port to DVI cable for connecting macbook to the Samsung LCD monitor. Output is fine but if i left my desk (with macbook on), and when the Macbook goes to power saving mode or sleep...after i switch it back on, my lcd display flicker and fails. It too fails to get signal at times...am I experience a weird problem?
or there is in fact some fault with my macbook?
or my LCD problem?

Anyone encounters what I am experiencing now?
I noted that there is an update for the Mini-Display Port to VGA.
What about DVI??

32" Samsung LCD as monitor -- no signal?

Hey now. I have an older G4 that I want to hook up to a 30" Samsung LCD (max res: 1280x720), but when I set it all up, there is no picture. The G4 has an ADC out, so I use a ADC-to-DVI adapter, a DVI cable, and then a DVI-to-VGA adapter to go into the LCD TV. (I was able to hook up a PC to the LCD via the same DVI cable with a DVI-to-VGA adapter and see the desktop.)
I did hook up the G4 to my 23" Apple display and lower the Display settings, but to no avail. Maybe they are not low enough?
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The ADC to DVI adapter is not passing the analog signals needed for VGA. You need the ADC to VGA adapter, then a VGA cable.

LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

Hi,
your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
cheers

32" SAMSUNG LCD not able to display Macbook through VGA Cable

New 32" Samsung (LA32A650 series 6) not picking up signal from Black Macbook. It's connected via VGA cable (mini DVI to VGA). Using a 5 meter, 15pin VGA cable which seems to work on a 20" DELL monitor (Macbook to Dell Monitor).
The Macbook sees the Samsung but the Samsung does not see the Macbook. Tried having both mirroring on and off...no luck. The PC option on the Samsung is still greyed out. Anybody have any other suggestions? I see in other posts where people are able to display their Macbooks to even bigger LCD's using a VGA setup so it must be possible.
Yes the Macbook is plugged in.
Yes cables are connected correctly.
Yes the Mini DVI to VGA adapter works fine.
I know with some PC laptops you press Function F5 (or other F?). Anything like that for a Macbook?
What's the ideal display setting for the Macbook? I've dropped the display setting all the way down to 800x600 but still no luck. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or doing it in the wrong order?

Ok...just an update.
I brought a pc laptop and my macbook to the store today. The 32" samsung LCD in the store did not pick up the signal on either laptops. HOWEVER. We hooked it up to a 42" sony LCD and no problems with the PC or macbook. So, the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and VGA cable are fine. A samsung service tech will be coming to the house next week. I will post their findings.
My suggestion so far would be bring your laptop and cables to any store before making a decision on which LCD you would like to purchase (that is if you care to use the LCD as an external monitor).

Macbook Pro to Samsung LCD TV

I'm trying to hook up a MacBook Pro to a Samsung LCD TV (Model: LE40A656A1FXXU) but when I connected it up the message on the screen was something along the lines of 'mode not supported'. Can someone tell me what I need to do? Currently I'm using the external monitor connection on the MacBook Pro to the PC input of the TV.

I recommend not going this route, the exchange did nothing as I expected, with nothing else to try I figured why not.
After calling in about the issue after they had replaced the old macbook they told me that the "apple engineers" were working on it and to just wait out for that to happen.
Also new update,
Computer recognizes the TV when I have MDP->VGA->VGA cable 6'->TV VGA input (but the TV does not recognize the macbook)
*The TV* recognizes the macbook (only) when in addition to the above configuration I connect a 10' VGA extension cable. The would seem to be a resolution but I say the TV sees the macbook but now the macbook can't get the driver info from the Tv and there I am stuck with 1024x768 (stretched).
There is one way trick both devices into working and that is to plug in the MDP->VGa adaptor connect the 6' VGa cable to the MacBook can get the info from the TV. Leave the adaptor connected to the computer and remove the VGA cable from the adaptor assemble the combination of the 6'and 10' cables and then plug it in and it works fine.
Kinda of a pain though when you have to do this everytime you connect the Macbook to the TV.
I really hope apple can get this driver straighten out ASAP.

Using DVI - HDMI cable output to Samsung LCD TV

For some reason, i have been using the DVI -> VGA Adapter with a VGA cable outputted to my new Samsung LCD TV, with resolution 1920x1080. I purchased a DVI -> HDMI Cable, but the quality/resolution is subpar to using the VGA Cable, it seems as if the resolution is upscaling itself, but according to Display Preferences, it is outputting at 1920x1080i, When i'm using the VGA cable it just says 1920x1080, without i or p.
Anyone know why?

I've been trying to communicate with a Samsung LE40A656 via a DVI-HDMI cable.
I think there must be issues with HDMI on that model because the TV can't detect a signal on the HDMI port and the MPB can't see a monitor.
But I have managed to get full screen via the Apple DVI-VGA adaptor and the D-sub port on the Samsung using the specification in this archive thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400626&#6400626
Before I upgraded my TV I had a cheap(ish) Hyundai Vuon with a DVI port which worked fine with my MBP.
Would still like to know why HDMI doesn't work on the Samsung.

Connecting my old iMac G4 to my Samsung LCD TV

I have an iMac G4. The monitor went out years ago and I have been using an external monitor via the display port and adapter. The resolution on the iMac is set to the highest available on the display preferences. The monitor has always worked fine; however, I thought I would connect the iMac to my Samsung LCD TV (it's a few years old - 5 Series 1080). When I connect it to my TV via the "PC" connection option and select "PC" as the source, I see the splash screen (gray), but when the OS boots my TV says "Mode not supported." Anyone have any sage advise for me . . . I would love to utilize my old iMac for renting movies from iTunes.

TVs have very specific resolutions, and your iMac predates widescreens in anything but movie theaters. So long story short, since your iMac can only mirror your built-in (well, attached in the case of the G4 models) you basically have a choice. Either the monitor runs at a resolution the TV can support, which is probably going to be 720x480, you get a special converter box, or you just come to the conclusion most do, and decide it's really just not worth the effort.
If you had one of the newer iMacs where it's either a native 16:9 resolution or you could at least set an independent resolution, this would be much easier. As it is, you're pretty much screwed, sorry.

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

Samsung 906BW monitor resolution issues

I have plugged in a Samsung 906BW LCD monitor into my Mac Pro and it is not listing the native resolution (1440 x 900). Instead it it only listing up to 1280x1024. If anyone has ideas how to fix this that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One last check before placing the blame with the monitor. Have you tried a new cable? It might be as simple as swapping out a bad cable.
Even if the cable is not to blame you might try switching from a DVI connection to a VGA connection or vise-versa. It might be something on one decoder or the other that is malfunctioning.
If changing the interface type does work that points to a bad monitor that you should probably get replaced if it's still under warranty. If it's not under warranty and it works one way but not the other, you might just leave it using the connection that works.

External LCD Monitor Connection - Unacceptable Quality

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Mac, hoping that I would be able to connect to my external LCD monitor (19" Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - only VGA connection).
I have easily hooked up my monitor to my Mac. However, what I see is of unacceptable quality. When compared to Macbook display, the display on the external monitor is darker and the text looks horrible. I have played with few settings but nothing good.
I have read other threads where people complain about similar things. But, I thought Samsung's monitors would be of higher quality. Mine is a relatively cheap LCD but not this cheap
I am just willing to confirm that I am not missing anything. I simply can't believe that the display quality could be this bad. In the worst case, I will have to buy a new LCD.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello stedman1,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Unfortunately, it is not running in the Mirror mode. The display with the mirror mode was even worse! But after reading the posts in the forum, I have learned how to change it to the extended display. It is better than the mirror mode, but still not good enough.
Maybe I am making a mistake comparing the external monitor with the MacBook's monitor?? There is a huge gap between the two. It is a lot darker, and the text quality is way worse.
Someone with a similar monitor having solved this issues?
Thanks,
Guven.
