Two Monitors?

I have a 24" Dell monitor hooked up to my G5 Quad. I just ordered another 24" to view my canvas full screen in a monitor all by itself. Will my computer handle this or do I need any special cards?
Does anyone else have this set up and does it work for you? Will monitoring my video this way give me a good idea of what my clients will be receiving?

If you have a video card with two monitor outputs, you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll need to upgrade. I think in FCP, you view the canvas the same way you would output to a TV through firewire by going to view > external video > and select it when it pops up. The thing is, most people monitor their work on a CRT screen or even a cheap TV. If your clients will be viewing it always on an LCD flat screen, you'll be fine, but the only way you'll know how something's going to look on a CRT screen is by actually looking at one. This is great for being title/action safe, and most importantly, color correction.

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

Best Way to Hook-up Two Monitors - an LCD and CRT.

I have two monitors, a Samsung SyncMaster 940BX LCD with DVI and VGA ports, the other a Viewsonic CRT with VGA port that I use as a palette monitor.
Which is the best (most reliable) port on the Mac Mini to use for a VGA monitor, the Mini-DVI Port or the Mini DisplayPort? I have a Mini-DVI Port to VGA adapter from my PowerBook that I can use if needed, and will order whatever Mini DisplayPort adapter that I may need. Thanks.

I would think that starting from DVI would be the better choice for running a VGA display. I say this because analog VGA output is part of the DVI standard, so it is accounted for, should be mature technology and should work.
DisplayPort, on the other hand, does not account for any VGA output. It is a strictly digital standard. Apple has created an adapter that has active electronics inside that uses digital signals for input and does a digital to VGA translation within the confines of the adapter. Strange but true.
From reading these forums over the years, one thing I have learned is there is no such thing as a sure thing. Some people report better results from the DVI port when running VGA and others say they could only get their VGA display to work from DisplayPort. So it seems it can depend on the display, too. In that case, you are probably stuck using trial and error to see what will work best for your setup because it's unlikely anyone else is going to have exactly the same two monitors you do.

HT5019 How do I get extended display mode on two monitors off a MB?

I've tried to find answers on other threads but no luck. Is it possible to connect two monitors to a 2008 unibody MB (mavericks) to use extended display? I've never had a problem with using one monitor (mini dvi to vga) as an extended display and now I'd like to add a second monitor via a vga splitter. I thought upgrading to mavericks would solve this but no luck. It's only letting me mirror displays. The "arrangement" option in display prefs not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I never for one second thought this would be so complicated.

I cant get two monitors to work on one pc.

Does anyone know why i cant get two monitors working on one pc?
I have a HP P6 2000 UKM computer, running windows 7 and it has a DVI D socket as well as the standard VGA (which i am using for my primary monitor) I have got the right DVI to VGA adaptor and have followed various instructions to set up duel disply but every tutorial i have seen says use the multiple display option, but the option dropdown box is not there!
Iv'e tried two different monitors but he same problem. If my graphics card does not suport 2 monitors then why is there a DVI D socket?
Have never had this problem in the past!
Please help.

Hi,
Please post the exact HP product number for your PC.
VGA is analog and DVI-D is digital. If you have two monitors then one of them needs to support a digital video signal if you want to use two monitors

How can i use two monitors in my application?

Hello,
Background
I have a dual monitor card and two monitors which I want to use in my LabView application. The application gathers data from a complex sensor and calculates a number of results which need to be displayed graphically, this happens every 10 seconds or so. There is an awful lot of graphs which may be needed to be seen at some time but not routinely. The idea is that one monitor will display all the standard routinely displayed things and will not have any user input whilst the second monitor will display a tab control which has all the other graphs pickable.
Question
What I want to know is how I can programmatically tell labVIEW to put one vi up in one monitor and another vi in the other. I would then have them both maximised (which I know how to do). I would rather have the monitors set up as individual and that way I could keep the windows control bar on one monitor only. Thus one monitor would be a true user interface and the other simply a display.
Basically how do I tell LabVIEW to use one monitor for a specific vi and not the other.
The card I have is a matrox p650. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards
Kevin

Hallo,
with new version of LV its more easy, but it also hasn't any troubles with LabVIEW 6.x or 7.x.
Especially with Matrox P650 you will get no any problems (we using
exactly this card together with G550 and our application supported
three monitors at the same time.).
I recommend to you following sequence:
- After installing driver turn on option for supporting different
resoluton on different monitors. As result you will get two absolutely
separate monitors.
- In Windows define which one is primary and which one is secondary.
(On primary monitor located taskbar and all messages dialog boxes will
appear.).
- Arrange secondary monitor in display properties - where he located (left from primary, or right)
- In your VI (which must appear on second monitor) use
FrontPanel.PanelBounds Property Node for positioning. You must set four
values for two corners. Easiest way to found right values is following:
read this property node in while loop and put indicator on front panel.
Then run VI, drag front panel onto second monitor and resize if
necessary, and then you will see right values for PanelBounds. You can
write this property node programmatically in run-time too.
hope it help,
good luck.

How to run two programs with one PC and two monitors

Good Morning,
I have a requirement to run a parallel loop and update the progress in two monitors with one computer.
For ex: its a two test stage, the process and progress of the 1st stage needs to displayed in monitor1 and similarly for 2nd stage to monitor 2 with program running with one computer.Would it be possible to do that.
Thanks in advance

Hi Parker,
yes, it's possible. You also have properties to set windows to specific monitors...

Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors. Early models only had one monitor port. Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport. Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port. The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter. The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such. So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro? This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

How do I get InDesign to open on the second monitor of a two-monitor system?

My computer is connected to two identical monitors. I use them in extended mode. Monitor 1 includes my WIndows desktop; Monitor 2 does not
I want to open my InDesign files on "Monitor 2" which does NOT have impediments like a taskbar that wants to pop up.
By default, InDesign CS6 opens on Monitor 1, the one with the desktop. How do I change that setting?

How do I get LR to open on the secondary monitor in a two monitor iMac Retina system using Yosemite?

No matter what settings I use in Mission Control or in TotalSpaces2, LR (latest version) keeps opening on the main screen and I have to move it to the secondary monitor each time I restart it or change catalogs. It is irritating but also problematic in that LR seems to get lost on occasion when I use the main monitor for full sized images and will seemingly randomly put the full frame image on top of the main LR grid and control screens (on the secondary monitor) which forces me to close LR to get back to normal. So far I haven't been able to figure out any sequence that causes this to happen but there probably is one.
I have:
1. Tried with the possible combinations of "Displays have separate spaces" and Spaces assignments available by right clicking the program's icon in the Dock.
2. Lowering the position of the secondary monitor in Display Arrangements (a strange suggestion via the Internet)
3. Very politely asking LR to behave like all of the other programs.
Any suggestions.

I had the same problem and it was driving me nuts. Thanks to conradchavez.com Blog.
Multiple displays: If you put panels (including the Tools panel) on a secondary display and then switch applications, those panels may snap back to the primary display when you switch back. To avoid this, open System Preferences, click Mission Control, and turn off Displays Have Separate Spaces. Mavericks ships with that option on, so if you want to position Adobe application panels and windows on multiple displays you should turn off that option.
You will have to log out before it works. It worked for me.
Tankyou very mutch!!!!
Now is all perfectly funzionally!!!!
Ri- Tankyou!!!

I have two monitor speakers that I would like to airplay to from my iMac. Is this possible? Is there an adapter or receiver? The monitor speakers are KRK VXT8.

They have a trial version you can test before you purchase. It limits you to 10 minutes of streaming before it starts inserting noise into the stream.
But you may not need it. I've read a bit further, and it appears that you may be able to stream any system audio to an Airport Express without needing AirFoil since you have Mountain Lion. I though it would work only with an Apple TV, but I've seen mention that it works with the AE as well (I don't have one to try). When you get your Airport Express set up, go to the Sound (speaker) icon in the menu bar, hold down the Option key, and click the icon. You may see the AE listed there as a selectable output device; if so, select it and all your system audio should be sent to the AE, including Spotify.

I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP TWO MONITORS AT THE SAME TIME

I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP TWO MONITORS AT THE SAME TIME. I have had no success in figuring out why I can get an image on my TV and an image on my monitor (at the same time), but no icons, no start menu and no keyboard access. M y computer freezes as well when I try to do 2 monitors.

Hi,
Your machine has:
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Radeon HD 6370D, 6410D, 6530D or 6550D Graphics (model dependent based on processor)
Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
Two DVI-D ports (Both ports can be used at the same time)
You can use TWO monitors with the right connections for two ports #3 above. You can get more information from the following instructions:

Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.
