Ultra Wide Monitor Support

I was one of the four people who bought a Dell Ultra-Wide monitor and wanted to know if that resolution is supported on a Mac Mini. Any thoughts?

The current Mini supports:
*This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

HT4744 LG ultra wide monitor at end of TB chain flickers

I have problems getting my LG ultra wide monitor to work at the end of my Thunderbolt chain.
There is a Datatale thunderbolt raid enclosure with 4 drives and a Universal Audio Apollo audio interface with thunderbolt option card installed. From there I have a mini-displayport to displayport cable to my LG ultrawide screen.
The screen flickers from time to time, or turns off completely, accompanied by big spikes in the audio sometimes.
It's very frustrating and an unworkable situation for me at the moment.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems and/or has anyone found a solution?

Yes I have the same issue. I'm daisychaining an Apollo Quad to my display using the Thunderbolt expansion and my Macbook Pro. LG UltraWide doesn't work in any configuration and I've tried another monitor which works fine.
Did you find a solution?
Maybe the LG needs more bandwidth than the Apollo can give when daisychained? I dunno I'm just guessing.
I'm talking with UAD Support but I bet I have to get another monitor to use TB

I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?

I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

Split screen software of LG ultra wide monitor won't start with windows 7 installed with VMWare Fusion

I am using split screen sofware of LG but it is not working for me with vmware fusion 7. Is this a known problem? I am using an ultra wide monitor of LG (29um65), and installed windows 7 on my mac, by using VMware Fusion. But the software won't work of LG. It won't start. LG can't help me, because normally the software is working by using windows 7 on a windows pc. I got it also working on a mac , when I used other virtual software as Virtualbox VM, but it seems not to work with vmware fusion 7. Can somebody help me with this problem?

yes, I think you are right, but I used virtual box in the past, and had no problem with the LG software, so it has also to do wit VMWare Fusion I think.
Never the less we still don't have a solution :-)

Using Apple TV with an Ultra Wide Screen

Hello everyone, I have an LG EA 93, which is an Ultra Wide monitor. The resolution is 2560 x 1080. I am considering the purchse of an Apple TV, however, I am worried that it won't function as expected with my monitor. When watching movies, which are in the cinemascope aspect, they display full screen on my monitor. When connecting an Apple TV, I understand that the menu system is in 16:9, however, when I open a 21:9 movie, will it display full screen on my monitor, or will it be letter and pillar boxed? For example: when watching a 21:9 movie on Netflix, I get letter and pillarboxing, ie the movie is surrounded by 4 black bars, essentially creting a frame.
Also, the monitor has dual inputs, which can be used simultaneously. If I conect my Mac and the Apple TV at the same time, will the Apple TV be able to cope witht he reduced resolution of 1280 x 1080?
Thank you very much for your help in advance

hello,
I have the above combo as well.
I configured the appleTV to always send 1920x1080 over the HDMI port to the LG ultrawide display then I switch the ratio using the ratio buton the remote between 1:1 for normal 16:9 content and select "Cinema1" if the content is ultrawide and then it fills the screen completely and looks great (you get black bars on all four sides as you described if you leave it on 1:1).
The scaling is very good and I hardly notice a drop in quality doing this. I don't think you can do 2560x1080 over HDMI versions before 2.0 or DVI, people have found ways to force it but you don't get the full 50/60Hz by doing this. If you don't trust the monitors scaling you can play the movie from a laptop with DisplayPort at 2560x1080 and use the scaling on the video application you're using - iTunes/VLC etc...
As far as I know neither the AppleTV or the UltraWide Monitor has a HDMI 2.0 port so you can't get that resolution anyway - but it really does not matter because the content is only 1920x800 so HDMI1.4 is perfectly capable of getting this content to the monitor and it's just a choice of whether you prefer the computers scaling or the monitors scaling.
Hope this helps!

Setting to use only middle portion of ultra wide display in order to get traditional width-to-height ratio

For the software I use most, like word processor and terminal emulator, a more
squarish display is much easier to view than the ultra-wide display I recently
purchased (somewhat by mistake). Everything has become very stretched out
lengthwise and is very difficult to read. Is there some setting in Windows8
to use only the central portion of the display in order to get the same
height-to-width ratio of older monitors? Thanks.

Hi，
Meanwhile, I suggest you view the manufactre website or contact their supprt to check if there's a Display Manager to optimize your media presentation and maximize your monitor’s state such as Easy Arrange and Auto mode, usually there should be such kind
of manager for an ultra wide monitor.

UltraSharp 2407FPW 24.0-inch Wide Flat Panel LCD Monitor Supports HDCP,

The Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW 24.0-inch Wide Flat Panel LCD Monitor Supports HDCP. I am going to order a Mac Pro and it has an Ati Radeon X1900 XT which is HDCP ready. But I really want an Apple Cinema 30 inch Display. Does anyone know how long it is going to take Apple to release the new displays with HDCP? And does anyone recommend the Dell Monitor> Is it better than the Apple Cinema Displays? Thank You.

looking at both up close I think the 3007WFP looks nicer than the apple 30 inch, it also supports HDCP.

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.

Feature Request - Better Multiple Monitor Support

Lightroom's support for a second display has definitely helped my workflow. I hope the team will consider adding more flexible multiple monitor support in version 4. Here's why.
I've recently experimented with running one of my three screens in portrait mode. When this screen hosts Lightroom's secondary display window in Loupe view, my verticals finally get equal real estate for editing. While I've not done hard statistics on my library, I know more than 50% of my imagery is in portrait orientation.
I'd like to see LR V4 support three or more screens so I could set up as follow:
Screen 1 - main lightroom interface, would not need to be calibrated, for controls and navigation
Screen 2 - Portrait orientation, loupe view - this would be a calibrated display, all develop changes to verticals would be judged on this screen
Screen 3 - Landscape orientation, loupe view - another calibrated display, all develop changes to horizontals would be judged on this screen
If Adobe could make the app intelligent enough to route the image to the correct screen based on orientation (recognizing and respecting cropping that could change orientation) my edit sessions would certainly speed up and I could maximize the productivity of multiple screens.
I'd be happy with this, but I'm also stymied by the need to switch back to Library mode to tag images when my primary workflow has me in develop. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the image. Before I invest in image-specific meta data, I have to process or at least "test-process" an image. IMO the Quick Develop panel is useless, once you become accustomed to the granular control of the develop sliders, it just doesn't cut it.
In the three monitor setup I described above I'd love to be able to configure screen 1, with a combination of panels from Library and Develop, so I could stay "develop centric" with immediate access to keywording and meta. The two additional screens would intelligently handle image display.
I think this might speed my workflow by 33% and having just returned from a Tour de France project that generated 23,000 images I need all the productivity help I can get.

Thanks for all those votes Rob. Now we just need to get the other 999,999 on board.
Actually, this topic has come up a lot on this forum. At this point, I think we just need to get Adobe on board.
VeloDramatic wrote:
There may be another thread for this one additional thought. If Adobe does improve multiple monitor support, we should be able to optimize our previews for those screens. Even after prerendering 1:1 previews there are issues with DEVELOP doing its own thing (I believe) each time a new image is loaded. I make extensive use of the PREVIOUS button moving through my shoots and there's always a lag of one or two seconds while the develop preview loads before the button is active. In a desktop environment where multiple screens allow landscape and portrait images to be displayed full screen I'd argue that 100% of the host screen resolution would be the ideal preview. Hope that made sense.
Yes, faster switching would be nice. I'm not sure what that would take. As it stands, there's like "9" previews generated when you do 1:1s - 100% down to tiny thumbnails. Still, one at exact monitor size that does not need to be resized at all does seem like it would be the fastest - I'm a bit on a limb though at this point.

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.

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.

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.

NB520 - Multiple monitor support

Do NB520 have multiple monitor support built in, if not, how can I have multiple monitor support for my NB520? I need for using a Pewerpoint 2007 (to display presenter view differs from audience view).
Many thanks for an answer in advance.

Hi smit_Aood,
The NB520 supports one external monitor and you can use internal + external monitor at the same time (two monitors are supported). Furthermore you can choose if you want to extend the desktop on second monitor or clone it.
Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch between different modes.
Last but not least you can also use a Beamer or TV as second monitor. A certain computer monitor is not required. ;)

Multiple Monitor support using RDP in Windows 10

Does anyone know if you can use multiple monitors when connecting through RDP in Windows 10? In Windows 7, you need to be using Windows 7 Ultimate in order for RDP to support more than one monitor.
For example, my home setup has (2) 22" monitors and I want to RDP to my work PC which also has (2) 22" monitors. We are running windows 7 Pro, so only one monitor would display on my home PC and I couldn't view my 2nd work monitor.
Thanks!

Michalsm2000,
I can't test that due to the shortage of resources.
For the RDP multiple Monitor support, it should be supposed to work on Windows 10.
Regarding what is new in RDP, you may check:

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.
