With MacBooks Retina 13" can you connect two external monitors with resolution each 2560x1600?

I'm not talking about Thunderbolt displays, but other brands like ASUS, LG, SAMSUNG, etc.
Has anyone tested?

You can connect two displays to the two Thunderbolt ports with appropriate Mini DisplayPort cables or adapters.
<http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/>
"Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays"
If the display supports HDMI, you could connect one to the computer's HDMI port, but not at 60Hz.
"Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz"

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
    Here is what I have confirm:
    Internal display + DVI connector display
    OR
    Internal display + VGA connector display
    Is it possible to have:
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
    OR
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

    As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
    For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

    I am trying to  connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

    The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently.  If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
    Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.

    Can I connect a second external monitor using a USB to DVI or USB to HDMI adapter? Will the Macbook Pro recognize a monitor connected to the USB port?

  • Can I connect 2 External monitors simultaneously on Toshiba notebook?

    Hi,
    I am interested to find out which of toshiba laptop's currently on offer do support 2 external monitors simultaneously (one as normal and second as extended dekstop in windows). I am looking for to replace my old configuration of laptop and docking station connected to two external monitors with resolution of 1280x1024.
    I was looking on toshiba websita at
    Portg R700-15Q
    http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Portege-R700-15Q/1089286/toshibaShop/false/
    together with Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP then some other laptop that do have port replicator but no where on the website I was able to find if any concrete model does support the dual use of the two port (VGA and HDMI or VGA and DVI)
    I was looking on the Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP user guide at http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2756712& rpn=PA3680U&modelFilter=PA3680U-1PRP&selCategory=2756711&selFamily=116319
    and in the troubelshouting part I did found this:
    Cannot display information to a
    DVD-D and RGB Monitor at the
    same time
    Check that the cables connecting the monitors are firmly attached on
    both ends. Some computer models do not support output to DVI and RGB
    monitors simultaneously. Check the documentation for your computer
    model.
    But even if you find on http://www.csd.toshiba.com the pdf's of detailed spec's and user guides, there is no information about if they do support simultant output to monitors or not and what is the maximum resolution supported for this.
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks for the reply,
    Toshiba Dynadock did not have really good reviews and it is working via USB which would be quite slow for all the traffic needed to show the graphic information for two monitors at 1280x1024.

  • How do you connect your external monitor(s)?

    More frequently I'm using an external monitor when working on Arch Linux, so I made this script, which works ok for now. This is a simple approach for this kind of stuff I think, so I'm wondering what you people out there are using to connect your external monitors. I guess there's a bunch of people in this community that are using two (or more) monitors? Please post your beloved script or name the package you are using. I would also be happy with some feedback or tips on my script.
    #!/bin/bash
    #~/scripts/vga
    case $1 in
    -r|--right) xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ;;
    -l|--left) xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 ;;
    -o|--off) xrandr --output VGA1 --off ;;

    When I'm at home I connect my laptop to my TV and use that as the only screen. I have mapped the screen fn-key to this script:
    #!/bin/bash
    if xrandr -q | grep "HDMI1 connected" > /dev/null ; then
    # xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 138.500 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync
    # xrandr --addmode HDMI1 1920x1080
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1360x768
    xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
    else
    xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --off
    fi
    Works perfectly.

  • Twist: Can't make two external monitors work

    I'm trying to get two external monitors to work with my twist. One is connected via mini-HDMI, the other using a Thunderbolt adapter (I've tried adapters for VGA, DVI and HDMI - same result). Only one external monitor (mini HMDI) works, although Win8 detects both (lists the grayed-out monitor make/model correctly). If I unplug either monitor, the other works fine.
    Note that I am using an Apple Thunderbolt adapter, not the Lenovo Mini DisplayPort adapter. I use the Thunderbolt adapter with one monitor all the time.
    I have two monitors working at another location; Mini DisplayPort -> VGA and USB -> SVGA.
    Is the problem that I'm not using the Lenovo adapter, or is this never going to work? Thanks.

    The Twist should support internal LCD + one external LCD (or 2 external LCD with displayport splitter) on at the same time.

  • Can't connect two external drives via USB hub to the same port.

    I have two external hard drives connected to my MacBook Air, along with other USB devices, using a powered USB hub. When I connect both external drives to the same port via the USB hub, one of them disconnects with an error message saying it was improperly disconnected. The same thing happens when I connect one of the hard drives and an external DVD drive via the USB hub. The two drives work fine when connected to separate ports. Other USB devices coexist with one of the drives quite happily. Can anyone explain why this is?

    External drives may well require more power than a port can supply. Also, many USB hubs cannot be used for external drives. It's always best to connect an external drive directly to the USB port. If the drive enclosure has a second USB port on it, then you can daisy-chain a second drive to the first, sometimes.

  • HT3131 how can i connect 2 external monitors(VGA) to my 2007 macbook pro

    I would like to use 2 external monitors simultaneously with my clamshell closed. I have external keyboard and mouse but need to know how to and what to buy in order to achieve this.....havent found anything straight forward on apple site, like a vga dual monitor splitter, so am in need of some advice on how to do this please!

    Thanks for the reply. Haven't gotten anything as yet. Just that I burned out my older PowerBook using it as a primary screen w/ a secondary 20" monitor. Would be nice if the MacBooks could be used as a CPU only, connect 2 different monitors, and use the LCD screen when portability is needed. But I suppose that is why Apple makes different types of computers. I know I can rig the video SCSI cable to bypass to LCD screen and use the other built-in monitor. But there goes the warentee and any kind of AppleCare... not that I have ever used it, (until a day after it has expired!)
    But thanks for the feedback. Your reply is what I expected. Being that I am a mercenary graphic designer and need to be able to work whenever, and where-ever I need to, the MacPro is not my hardware of choice. As well, I don't have $4000 in my budget. But man do those machines rock! Just think of what NASA could have done with one of those in 1969 when we were going to the moon! But now that the U.S. has decided that manned space travel and even scientific space exploration is not worthy of having a budget, the MacPros are religated to creating new episodes of Jersey Shores!
    Thanks again for your feedback!

  • Can't connect to external monitor (possibly after Yosemite update)

    I have recently updated my macbook pro to Yosemite. My external monitor (samsung 1080p tv) would connect fine using a hdmi before, but now its unresponsive. I have been into adobe premiere pro CC and been onto preferences > playback > then ticked my monitor but still no luck. I can't remember using the monitor since updating to Yosemite until now so im guessing this is what is the problem as was fine on mavericks. Any ideas? Thanks

    Basically I have the same issue. I also suspected a software update (though I am using Mavericks). However, it does play with an older version of Adobe Premiere (CS 6). So I suspect that one of the manny updates to CC broke the connection. It's an important part of my workflow, so let me know if you find out anything. I don't have a solution right now.
    Here was my complete post if it helps:

  • Is it possible to connect two external monitors to my T400 laptop?

    Hi,
    I bought a T400 laptop this summer and have it connected through the VGA port to an external monitor, using both the laptop´s monitor as an extended display. I would like to add a third monitor. I am wondering if there is any way to do this or anyone knows further, even if some additional hardware is required. There is no HDMI port on the laptop of course but I´m wondering if some sort of VGA splitter is possible. Any thoughts are appreciated!
    Best wishes.

  • Powerbook G4 15" screen blank, can't connect to external monitor

    Hi,
    I've had a 15" Powerbook G4 for about 2 years now, but about a year ago, I switched it on and the display was white. I could hear the startup chime, and everything seemed to be working fine underneath, but the screen was just white.
    So, recently I took it to an Apple store and in the end, they told me that the LCD was broken and that they would have to replace it for the Powerbook to work properly. As this would cost over £400, which I can't afford, I just decided to try and use an external monitor with it, as they had done in the store to check it.
    So, I bought a DVI-VGA adapter from eBay, received it this morning, and tried to connect the Powerbook to my CRT monitor using the adapter.
    Basically, I plugged the VGA cable from the monitor into the adapter, and plugged that into the Powerbook.
    However, the external monitor just stays blank, as if it isn't connected to the Powerbook.
    Please, can you tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, and if not, suggest why it might not be working.
    Thanks,
