T60 Vista and Dual Monitor Support

I have a Lenovo T60 running on Vista 32-bit. I have the latest Video Drivers, but whenever my laptop comes out of hibernation I lose dual monitor support. Is there a solution to this problem?

The issue you're facing is a combination of a Vista "bug" and the video drivers. If you are using the latest video drivers, check to see that Vista is not managing the TMM - Vista has a bad habit of just remembering the initial setup, therefore when you take your computer off the dock, Vista doesn't like the change and will "conveniently" forget any variation of settings you may introduce.
Read this article on TMM for Vista (.doc file - read the first section)
Hope that helps

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU Dual Monitor Support

My nephew has a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU, downgraded from Vista to XP. Does this notebook support Dual Monitor Extended Desktop configuration? If so, how is this configured?
My nephew lives in a different city, so I am not able to just go over and lay w/ his machine. I am familiar w/ the dual monitor support on my HP LapTop, but am not sure what to look for on the Lenovo. Assistance is appreciated.

Dual Monitor Support No Longer Works

Hi,
I am using Lightroom 2.0 on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.4
Dual monitor support use to work with my Samsung external monitor. But now whenever I try to turn on dual monitor function, lightroom crashes. I know the external monitor and connection is working properly because I am able to use all of my other programs with both monitors, but no longer lightroom's dual monitor function.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

It was an extremely frustrating process trying to know if indeed this was the way to calibrate this monitor, and after spending so much time and research was all I could come up with. Did you notice the graphing results of both types of calibration? The red (I believe it was) of the RBG graph line was not lined up at all with the G and B thus the weird color on the monitor, and with the Easy mode, they were at least in line, more or less.

FX5900-TD128 - Dual monitor support?

?(
I'm thinking of buy a FX5900-TD128 card, but I want dual monitor support (2 CRTs). I looked on the product info page, but it doesn't explicitly say the card can actually do this... I don't want to find out the hard way by dropping $400+ on a card and then finding out it can't do something I need ;(
BTW: I assume this thing will fit fine in a 865PE Neo2-LS mobo... right?
Thanks

It would be a logical assumption that MSI's designers would get their gfx cards to fit their own mobos :D
I haven't seen anyone complain so it should be ok.
Thanks.

G41TM-E43 Dual Monitor Support

Hi,
Please can you tell me whether this motherboard supports dual monitors? I am trying to build a low energy HTPC, and need to connect the TV up to the HDMI port and a monitor up to the VGA.
Cheers, Mase

That is not likely since it would require a complete re-write of the Remote
Control software.
However, Dual Monitor Support DOES exist in ZCM10.

Dual monitor support? for HP Compaq Pro 4300, with Intel HD Graphics 4000 onboard

Hi,
Purchased new Buisness PC for cloud computing, which was HP Compaq Pro 4300 - with Dual Monitor supported.
I have purchased 2x Samsung S24C550VL 23.6 inch LED MHL Monitor (250cd/m2, 1920x1080, 2ms, 2x HDMI, MHL, VGA).
How do I cable these avoiding using VGA for one of them. Can I use a splitter cable as both appear to support DVI-D ? Which of the many cables options/splitters may be best option for extended display?
PC will be operating Windows 7 Professional 64
Regards
Woof !

TouchSmart and dual monitors - lag time

I have the HP TouchSmart 320 PC and have set up the connection with a second and third monitor. I had to purchase a seperate piece to connect them. When I first connected them, they were working perfectly. However, I had to take my PC to get it cleaned due to some viruses. Now there is a huge lag time between my main PC and dual monitors. For example: if I play a video, it will not show up on the dual monitor but will play on my main PC. How can I fix this to where they sync up better?

Hello,
What is the exact model of the 320 PC you have?
What are the other monitors brand and models and what piece have you bought to connect those monitors to your unit?
Can you explain the setup or even provide pictures of the setup?
Thanks,

Laptop - Docking and Dual Monitors

Hi there,
I have a personal HP Dv4t Laptop, work has purchased for me a an Elitebook with docking station and dual monitors - I am trying to figure out when I am using my personal non work PC how to now connect this Laptop to least one of the monitors.
I have a single dongle connected to the docking staition for one monitor, but it's too short and only a single one and not to able attached to my personal laptop.
I know it's probably pretty easy if you are use to configuriung, but I am not. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi ecat,
I wanted the product number so that I could check the specs on your notebook to see what ports you have on your notebook. However, your model is a CTO which means Custom to Order so I can't pull up the specs.
This HP document Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer will show you the types of video connections and how to extend the desktop. This will be a guideline to show you how to setup the external monitor.

Dual Monitor Support NEEDED

[ Mac OS 10.4.8 - G$ QuickSilver Dual 2.0 - two large monitors ]
I just tried Lightroom for the first time today, and was shocked to see that there is no support for detaching panels onto a second monitor. This is a deal-breaker for me -- lots of glitzy clutter and not enough image space. (Yeah, you can hide panels, but working with two monitors with one monitor reserved for panels is SO much nicer.) I am very concerned that this, along with the Bridge CS3 beta's lack of multiple monitor support is indicative of a very unfortunate trend with Adobe's interface design staff.
And I hope they get the message loud and clear that a deprecation of multiple monitor support is UNACCEPTABLE.
Also, the tabbed design of Adobe Camera Raw 4 as implemented in Photoshop CS3 is much nicer than the space-consuming approach in Lightroom.

Well said, Dan. I think the thing that also troubles me is what you mention about being inbuilt from the ground up. The fact that it was considered "too difficult" to get in to v1.0 indicates that the framework of the application and the architecture therein isn't built in such a way as to make a second view of a particular image or set of images possible on a secondary monitor without significant development work. This will inevitably lead to a 'bolted on' look and feel as the holdouts within the lightroom team capitulate and shove in such support.
If even partial support for simply showing one image - or heck, a slideshow - on a designated monitor (remember some people have more than 2, especially when presenting slideshows) were included in version 1, it would indicate to me that the architecture team "wanted to do it right" and had to put off some features until later. Having to completely bolt it on after the launch just means they couldn't even get it in the basic architecture.
And, yes, Richard.... that one "feature" is certainly a deal breaker for me. "Usable" is in the mind of the "user" but usefulness is obvious. Let's consider a use-case scenario:
I have a 23" cinema display, which I like to use for showing a Really Big Image, and i have a 21" Wacom cintiq on which I like to use the pen and tap on images to select or browse them and adjust sliders and whatnot. Don't tell me that the fact I can't do that with Lightroom isn't perfectly valid instant deal breaker! With Lightroom, I can either use my cinema display and get a kind-of large image and adjust with a mouse, or I can use my cintiq and get a pretty-darn-small image and use my pen. With Aperture, I can set the "main window" as my cintiq (although I do have to do this in the OS - a minor pain) but I can see the image I'm working with (or a set of several selected images) very large on my 23". Is that not an obviously better workflow? So much to possibly be a deal breaker _without_ really even getting in to some of the less-immediately-apparent features of Lightroom? For me, yes.
Does anyone think I'm _really_ comparing apples to oranges when I look at Aperture and Lightroom side-by-side? I'm sure if I worked for Apple or Adobe, I'd try to make that claim, but as a user, what I think I am looking at are applications that let me organize, tag, view, and adjust a database of images. Which ever application is the most useful for doing those tasks wins. I hold out hope that Lightroom may one day be the winner in this arms race of image management and correction applications, but right now there is absolutely no way I can credit Lightroom with even being competitive with Aperture when one of my two monitors has to sit dark when I use Lightroom.

T420 and dual monitors using eGPC?

Hello all,
I just purchased my first ThinkPad, a T420 (4180 62U). So far I really love this machine.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize that this model does not support dual external displays with the built-in graphics processor.
I was wondering if anyone has had success with using a external graphics card along with the dock so that they can have the dual external monitors and the laptop screen running.
If so, what hardware should I be looking at? I would welcome any advice or recommendations.
Thanks
Zim

Thanks for the quick reply!
I haven't actually tried the dock yet. I was going to order one, then I read that you had to have the Nvida Optimus graphics card to actually do a dual monitor + laptop screen set-up which my ThinkPad does not have.
It's my understanding that the intel graphics HD 3000 allows another monitor, it just doesn't support tow external monitors.
Am I mistaken about this?
If so, then I'll be real happy, because using 3 screens will be a great help when using Cisco Packet Tracer simulator, reading instructions and taking notes.

Lightroom 4.4 dual monitor support

Is there any possibility of looking closely at the way dual monitors are supported in LR4.4?
Having just upgraded, it is worse than LR3.6 which wasn't totally ideal anyway. The issues are:
LR forgets that you have dual monitors when you close it and you have to set it up again when it restarts.
LR will switch which monitor has the grid or loupe view not quite at random but annoyingly frequently as a result of taking an action. Importing does it amongst others.
I have one good monitor and another which is not quite as good. Clearly I want to be able to edit the photos and look at photos in the better monitor. It would be helpful you could select which monitor you want to use for Loupe and the program respects this choice until you actually choose otherwise. I find that I am having to think of ways to do things so that it doesn't switch me; ie I am fighting the program instead of it helping me by being intuitive.
Thanks.

Interesting. It probably shouldn't make any difference but do you use MAC, I am using a Windows 7 PC.
I have looked closely at the preferences and menu options but cannot see anything user configurable which allows me to control this. The 2nd monitor menu seems to allow you to lock it on Loupe but that isn't what I want as the second monitor is the smaller not so good one. This option isn't available for the 1st monitor.
Strangely, this morning it is restarting with the second monitor in use. Does it relate to conditions when LR4.4 was closed down?

Osx dual monitor support via rdp

T410 Dual monitor support with integrated graphics

I am considering purchasing a T410 with integrated graphics, but I need to make sure it will support dual digital displays (with a dock of course). I use a T500 for work, and when I switch to the integrated chip, I am unable to use dual monitors.
Can someone confirm that the T410 (integrated graphics) can use dual digital displays with a dock?

Should work. That NEC is 1920x1080 which is suported on the single-link DVI. DP can handle even more. The dock has both DVI and DP. Your ThinkPad supports the 2 monitor outs. My understanding is the ThinkPad LCD would need to be off when you do this; the specs on the dock mention max 2 monitors simultaneously.

HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed and dual monitor setup

Good evening,
Currently I own a HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed notebook using a dual monitor setup (notebook display + extra monitor)
I wondered if it would be possible to hook 2 monitors to this laptop? (notebook display + extra monitor + extra monitor)
If this causes the problem, the notebook display isn't requered.
Also, if not, is there a dockingstation for this brand which supports the above?
Kind Regards,
Cor van Noorloos

I have attempted to connect one monitor via HDMI and the other one via the VGA interface.
Using Windows 7 OS and "default configurations" (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution) it is possible to use both external monitors as desktop. However the laptop screen will go blank. So at any time it appears to be possible to have an extended desktop with only two screens.
- Does HP have any drivers/solutions that make it possible to extend the desktop from "Mobile PC" display to two additional desktops?
- Has anyone tried third party software (e.g.. UltraMon)?
- Is there a technical restriction (e.g.. Videocard capability)?
- How about using a Linux OS (e.g.. Ubuntu)?
- What external Hardware exists that would enable me to extend my desktop to three or more monitors simultaneously?
Many thanks in advance.
It's the graphics card and the number of physical connections available. You might have 3 connections (notebook display being one) but the graphics card likely does not support more than 2 monitors. Intel graphics only support 2, however you may be able to find some AMD chips that will support more however that would be a major upgrade.

Video resolution and dual monitor assistance

Trying to set up a show running on a windows XP Pro PC with dual monitor (ATI HD3870 card) so that videos run using Windows Media Player (or maybe something else if needed?) on the second monitor (actually a large projector).
The videos are synchronised to DMX lighting using software so can't just be run from a DVD.
All the videos have been developed using HDV anamorphic PAL 25fps footage but are rendered out using Premiere CS3 at 1280 x 720 (to keep 16:9 ratio at the highest resolution the projector/card (plus VGA extender cable) can handle.
The videos can be launched quite happily on a single monitor system at this resolution and in any format (WMV, AVI, etc). The videos are launched via software using DirectShow (this is 3rd party software). BUT, when outputting to the second monitor the video playback doesn't work at any resolution above 720 x 576. It works fine at 720 x 576, but obviously when projected the image is way smaller than we need.
Note that Windows Media Player will play higher resolution files on the dual monitor but not in full screen mode.
So, the question is where does the problem lie and how can we fix it? Can Windows Media Player not run higher resolutions in dual monitor mode? Do we need a specific graphics card to handle this? Is Windows XP an issue? (PS we had the PC running Vista previously but found that the TMM module in Vista was affecting the screen resolution settings). Do we need to render out of Premiere in some specific way? Has anyone got any experience of something similar?
Thanks!

Thanks guys. There's no issue with playing the video when launching it direct in Windows Media Player. Its just when launched from the DirectShow API. We've now got a 3rd party looking at that API and have a temporary fix.
So for future reference there are no specific problems with the rendering, codecs or resolutions, but there may be an issue with applications that launch high res media on to a 2nd monitor with the DirectShow API.
thanks
