Using a 19" external monitor with a dv9700 Pavillion

Can someone assist me in setting up the proper method to use an external monitor to my Pavilion using WVista

jim3jay, it may be easy for you but there is no such thing here as a dumb question and we try not to make fun of people for coming here for help. DRat, jim3jay is more or less correct. You connect the monitor to the port on the laptop and then activate the external monitor using the display properties within Windows. Please let us know where the process is hanging up for you.

  • Transcoding Problems & Use Of An External Monitor with FCE HD

    My department is slowly making the change over to HDV and we have a few immediate concerns regarding FCE HD.
    When printing to video, its takes about 4-5 minutes to Transcode per 1 minute of footage.
    Is there any way to shorten or eliminate this time period? With our students making plenty of 10 minute videos, this Transcoding Time could clog up hours and hours of time in our editing rooms.
    Also, I am told that the latest version of FCE is not yet compatible with the use of external monitors for showing footage off of a FCE timeline. I hear there are certain expensive converter boxes you can purchase to remedy this problem.
    Is there any other solution to this???
    Thanks,
    Marc Griffin

    Marc,
    Have you rendered all the footage first, and mixed down the audio? (The commands are Sequence>RenderAll>Both and Sequence>RenderOnly>Mixdown). You should do both before you export any video. Select all clips in your timeline and run both commands.
    FCE can show your video (what you called timeline) via FireWire out. You would need a Firewire->analog converter to connect your external monitor. The Canopus ADVC110 is a nice little unit that will do an excellent job, currently about $240USD. Alternatively, many people use their miniDV camcorders as a passthrough device to do the same conversion so they can watch their video on a real video monitor while editing.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop does not have a docking station.  What do I need to get  to use two external monitors? 
    This question was solved.

    Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming.  HP makes no true docking station for your laptop. 

  • Using External monitor with DVI kills wireless connectivity

    I recently purchased a BenQ G2400WD 24" 1920x1200 monitor, for use with my May 2007 GMA 950 2.0Ghz. Macbook.
    Upon receiving the monitor, I immediately plugged it in to my Macbook, using the Mini-DV to VGA adaptor I already had, for use with projectors. The monitor was good, but a bit blurry and not too sharp, due to the analog signal. So I ordered a Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. When it arrived, the improved picture quality was immediately apparent.
    However, as time went on, I noticed my wireless connectivity was getting terrible. Extremely slow Safari page load times, and upon going to Terminal and pinging my router, I would often get response times of 21000 milliseconds, or worse! I did a lot of research, on router firmware, on wireless connectivity, etc., but to no prevail. Then, on a whim, while continually pinging my router, I removed the DVI adaptor from my monitor. The ping instantly dropped from tens of full seconds to just a stable 0.4 milliseconds! Using my VGA connection resulted in no worse wireless connectivity than without it, but upon plugging in DVI and stressing the connection a bit (i.e. downloading a large file), the connection went bonkers. The pings also immediately jump from 0.4 milliseconds to a range of 1-4 milliseconds, regardless of any "stressing".
    I have done numerous research, including searching both here and on other discussion forums. It appears this problem with DVI connection is fairly common, but with no resolution so far. Any help would be great!
    A few important notes:
    -Both ends of both my VGA cable and my DVI cable are shielded.
    -I have tried numerous channel changes of my router, to no prevail.
    -While using DVI, EVERYTHING works well except the wireless. So the monitor isn't too demanding for my computer.
    And I hope my thorough post didn't scare you away!

    I have this same issue with the dvi and wireless disconnect. I am using a samsung 214T. I am glad to know i am not the only one seeing this, because it is kind of one of those things that is hard to believe. Anyway, I am also curious what kind of routers people have who are experiencing this issue. I am using a wrt54GL with tomato firmware.
    Also, In addition to the disconnect, my picture quality on my monitor gradually degrades over time...starting with what looks like snow flecks. After waking from screen saver, sometimes it is full static. Turning off and turning back on the monitor clears the static away.
    I can use another samsung 19in monitor with dvi without any problems.

  • If I buy an external monitor (with a res of 2560x1440) will my early 2011 MacBook Pro work ok? And will it be utilising the monitors full res or not?

    Hi,
    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I use Premiere Pro CS5 to video edit on. It's fine but when it comes to grading it's nearly impossible on such a small screen.
    I'd like to buy a 27inch external monitor (Asus, Samsung, Dell, whatever - haven't decided yet) for when I'm editing at work (which is most days). My query is regarding the resolutions. Obviously my MacBook Pro displays a resolution of 1280x800, so if I buy a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 for example, what gets displayed?
    And also does the connecting cable make any difference? For example, if I'm connecting by Thunderbolt out to HDMI, then an HDMI to HDMI cable to the external monitor, what happens then? Or should I be using a Mini Display Port to Display Port connecting lead?
    I guess all I really want to know is, will it work? But also, am I wasting my money buying an external monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution? Should I just go for one that's the same res at my MacBook Pro?
    I've never really understood how these things all work!
    Thanks in advance for anyones help.
    Regards,
    Phil   

    I think it will work.  You would need a mini displayport to (single link) DVI adapter to hook up that monitor.
    Not sure what kind of problems you had with the ViewSonic but I'm guessing the Dell is probably a better monitor anyhow.

  • Using only the external monitor in Snow Leopard?

    Greetings,
    I primarily use an external monitor with my macbook (latest gen.) Is there an easier way turn off the laptop screen when connected to an external screen (e.g. a key combination that will turn off the laptop screen to switch to external screen-only mode)?
    My current song-and-dance involves:
    - turn on laptop (with mains power connected)
    - close lid
    - hit a key in my external keyboard
    - open lid again to facilitate ventilation
    I was hoping snow leopard would have finally addressed this pain with a simply key combo?! This is one thing that is easy in the PC world
    Thas

    If you have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected, it will shut off the main screen when you close the lid. If you open the lid, it will turn the display back on.

  • Using Expose on external monitor only?

    Hello All,
    I have 2011 mbp that i sometimes use with an external monitor, with the monitor being my only display (closed clam-shell mode). I encountered a problem where the hot corners do not work? for some reason only the upper left corner works on the external display. if i use hot corners on my laptop screen, all the corners work? (I am not sure if this is relevant to solving this issue, but I use a wireless mouse when i use my external display.)
    How do i fix this so that all the corners work as hot corners in expose on my external monitor?
    Thank-you,
    krm1897

    We went through a similar discussion with the placement of the Dock with multiple displays, and found by experiment that the dock is placed on the specified edge of the main display (bottom, left, right), unless that edge was extended by an adjacent display along that edge, in which case the Dock was placed on the edge of the Extended Desktop.
    I think Capt Fred is saying something similar for this as well.

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

  • Can't use only the external monitor, leaving macbook open on Lion

    HW
    macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011
    external samsung monitor, attached using HDMI to Thunderbolth adaptor
    Previous Situation
    With Snow Leopard I was able to keep the macbook screen open but turned off and use only the external monitor. This way I was able to use the front camera to make conference having everything only in the external monitor.
    Current Situation
    With Lion as soon as I open the macbook monitor the image splits between the two monitors and I'm not able to set the extenal one as only one.

    Support today quoted Apple's engineers as saying it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
    This is despite:
    - the obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to, say, a 27" cinema display
    - potential wifi connectivity benefits of having the lid open
    - the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy or you need it open for wifi)
    - the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP any hotter than it needs to be.
    To have any hope of getting the previous behaviour back, we need to lobby Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options available to them include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.
    If you haven't already submitted feedback, please do so below. Now the situation has been clarified as intentional, user feedback has become all the more important.

  • 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.
