T440 external monitor options and resolution

Hi
I note that the T440 has VGA and DP external monitor ports
Can anyone tell me...
1. How many external monitors can I attach and use simultaneously?
2. What is the maximum external resolution of those monitors?
Thanks

The best connection is DisplayPort.  DP 1 and 2 are no different.  DVI is also a digital connection and high quality.  VGA is fine for most people but is not able to display some of the high end resolutions.
You can only use one connection in each of the numbered connection blocks.  For instance, you can use DP1 and DP2 at the same time.  You cannot use DP1 and DVI1 at the same time.  Nor can you use DP2 and DVI2 at the same time.

  • Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

    When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution.  I am not even able to select the proper resolution.  
    I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM).   When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution.   When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution.  I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well.   Does anyone have any insight into this?

  • T440 external monitor turns off

    I have two T440s that will turn off the external monitor(s) while you are using them. The 440 is docked and using a 22" external monitor, mopuse and keyboard. I installed Windows 7 ENT and used the lenovo TVSU to update all the drivers and the power management. You can be sitting there working alond and suddenly the external monitor goes black. If you move the mouse to laptop LCD and change the refresh rate, it will turn the external monitor back on. Nothing else seems to make it come back on. I have another T440 that works fine in the same dock. the only difference is that the one that works correctly, still has the original Lenovo image on it. No drivers are missing. Any ideas what I need to install or update to get this working correctly?

    If it is a permanent solution, than great job, but doing it on over 10 000 laptops it is not practical solution.
    Fortunately there was patch released for solving this problem of hardware compatibility bettwen laptop and docking station.

    To make it work laptop must be in docking station before running this softwate.
    Hope this will help anyone who still have this problem.

  • Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

    Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
    I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
    And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

    You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
    Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

  • I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and I have DVI adapter plug. When I connect it with my Macbook pro - the monitor remain black (even tho it is 'on')

    I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and it have DVI and VGA plugs. I bought the DVI adapter to connect with my macbook pro laptop. But the external monitor remain black… so I turn it off then turn it back on, it said "No VGA signal". Does it means I have to use VGA adapter instead? I am not sure how it work, I am very new to it… I hope you can help me out!
    Thanks!

  • External Monitor - Samsung PX2370 Resolution 1920x1080

    i just bought the Samsung PX 2370 1921x1080 LED monitor. I tried to connected using the HDMI connection and I get a flickering and the image goes in and out. The MacBook Pro does not have a selection of this resolution as an alternative. Has anyone connected an external monitor LED with 1920x1080 resolution to a MacBook Pro?

  • X200 External Monitor -- In High Resolution​, Tablet Pen Won't Work

    I have an X200 Tablet running Windows 7 and need everything I write on the tablet with the digital pen to be simultaneously visible on an external monitor.  The problem is that when using both monitors simultaneously, the X200 will only display on the external monitor at the X200's maximum resolution (1280x800) even though the external monitor can go to a higher resolution (1680x1050).
    I've tried the Ultramon app, which allows the Tablet and external monitor to both be at their max resolution (which is my goal) but then the digital pen won't work on the Tablet.
    Any thoughts on a solution?

  • External Monitor, iBook, and SwitchResX

    I recently got a 19" external monitor for my ibook this Christmas. The screen image is blurred and stretched. I called both the monitor company and apple, but neither one was helpful.
    I saw some discussions about SwitchResX. I downloaded it and have been tinkering with it, but am very confused. Can anyone help me?

  • Macbook, External Monitor (TV) and Windows

    I have been trying (for ages) to get Windows to display on the TV. I can do it on the Mac side, with a DVI connector, but Windows doesn't work. No that I have upgraded to Leopard, I had hopes. Is there some setting I need to make this work? The Macbook says it is using Intel Mobile adapter.
    When the DVI is hooked up in Windows my screen flashes. The external monitor 2 will not accept that it is there.
    Thanks

    As far as I know, Apple only sells one kind of DVI connector for around $20. Based on your statement about inputs to your TV, you should get an Apple Mini DVI-->DVI cable. Then, you'll need a DVI to HDMI cable to plug into your TV. I don't know your setup, but you probably should get one that is 6' unless you need a longer one.
    You will also need a separate audio cable with jacks at each end similar to the kind that fit into your headphone out from your MB. In order to get sound, you will need a audio input that is tied in with your HDMI input. I don't know if your set has this setup. I have a Sony with 3 HDMI inputs, but only one of them has a separate audio input jack. If you don't have this audio input jack, you can run your audio to a separate stereo amp. Or you can go with the Component option which will definitely have an audio input.

  • External Monitor Options for iMac?

    I have an iMac and have been using a lot with my 7D files. They look great, but I would like to have an external monitor output. Any ideas on output modules for iMac? Thanks!

    is if there is a Firewire out that can send my Color display out to my Trinitron monitor, like FCP
    No, absolutely not. COLOR does not support FireWire output. The developer intended the application to be used with a PCIe Video I/O interface, (Kona, for example, as opposed to GPU) supporting HD-SDI output, and the fixed output gamma characteristic of 2.2 was assigned as default to support that.
    *All other approaches* are considered to be +ad hoc+ substitutes and are +de facto+ "as is". The policy should be read as -- "we made it one way which functions very precisely; if you want something else, that's your business"... but for a very large number of non-broadcast content producers, that's fine. It doesn't matter if its technically "wrong", as long as there is a result, not to imply that no one cares about the products they are generating -- but there are obviously some very large knowledge gaps in the consuming population in this area.
    That's my possibly cynical interpretation of the history and situation...

  • Is my external monitor's full resolution supported?

    My new 13" Macbook Pro came with the Nvidia 9400M graphics card installed.
    I also purchased a 26" external graphics monitor with 1920 x 1200 screen resolution, plugged in through the Mac's mini-DVI port.
    My intended use is photographic processing (non-video).
    I get a monitor message under "Display Preferences", "Usable resolution 1280 x 800" when this external unit is selected.
    Can this card support the full resolution of this large external monitor?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Yes, it certainly can. But your MBP doesn't have a mini-DVI port; it has a mini-DisplayPort. Exactly how are you connecting that to the external monitor?
    If your external monitor is limited to 1280 x 800, that's a clear indication that you are in Display Mirroring mode instead of Extended Desktop mode. The latter will enable your external display to operate at its native resolution.

  • External Monitor--Stalling and skipping, rendered cross disolves.

    I am watching my video on an external monitor. Every now and then during playback, the video freezes and the audio continues, only to start up again after a few seconds. I have remedied this problem by exporting the video once it is done to a Quicktime movie, but it is somewhat annoying during playback. Any ideas?
    Second, after I render, I am viewing the video on the external monitor and cross disolves skip irregularly. A transition will skip, I will go back and replay it, and it won't skip again. After exporting, the skips are gone, but it doesn't help during proofing of video. Is there any setting that can remedy this problem.
    Thanks for the help.

    The first thing Iwould look at would be the RT settings in the timeline. Click on the RT dropdown and make sure you are in "unlimited RT" rather than "Safe RT". Also you might lower the playback quality. I've seen this in Imac G5's with not enough RAM

  • Turning Off LCD when on External Monitor - BootCamp and XP OS

    Hello,
    Not sure why, but after updating to BootCamp 1.4, the latest Radeon video drivers, and the latest Mac firmware, my MBP no longer shuts off the LCD when hooked up to an external monitor (Samsung 193P on 15 pin analog). Have tried using the CCC program provided by ATI, to no avail. The XP settings also do not seem to make any difference...any thoughts, clues greatly appreciated. Looks like the system sees both the LCD and external as one and the same (listed as monitor one, instead of LCD as one, and external as two).

    Why leave it open?
    I don't know about the OP, but when I use my MBP for watching movies on my external LCD TV, I know the space above the F keys gets crazy hot. I don't want to risk closing the LCD screen which lays right on top of that furnace, potentially exposing it to damage--especially since movies are around 2 hours in length.
    So I'd rather have my lid open when I watching a movie to let the MBP breathe, but I'd rather not see the MBP's screen lit up (distracts from the movie).
    That's my personal reasoning.
