• Close the lid of the laptop and external display

  One of our employees has a laptop HP Pavilion G6. It uses an external display to work but must keep the screen of the laptop open. If he closes the screen, the video on the external screen is off power.

  What are the settings for the screen of the laptop to be closed and still be able to get the video to an external monitor?

  Thank you.

• Macbook Air using with mouse, keyboard, and external display?

  I want to put in place a more ergonomic work station. Can anyone recommend how I can configure my Macbook Air 13 "to use at home with an external monitor as well as an external keyboard and mouse? What is the easiest and most cost-effective way? Is a necessary dock if I buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, then simply plug the monitor each time? Could I use this set up with my macbook screen closed? I bring my Macbook to every day, so it must be easily plugged/unplugged. Thank you.

  A dock is not necessary. If you use a USB keyboard and mouse or a BT, it is up to you. I use a BT Magic Mouse and Apple keyboard in my office. That leaves just two things to plug: monitor and the power cord. When you use an external monitor as primary monitor you can close the lid of the computer and it will not go to sleep.

• T540p / T440p + UltraDock + external display issues

  Hello

  I am having trouble with the t540p in the UltraDock.

  I have a Setup with 3 screens:

  -internal

  -external on DVI

  -external on DisplayPort
  The more external are connected to the UltraDock.

  I had the problem, that the external monitor on the blanks of DVI ports frequently (about every 15 minutes) for 2-3 seconds.

  Less frequently (about once every 1-2 hours) all white external monitors for 5 to 10 seconds and you can hear the Windows sound in the speakers to disconnect and reconnect the devices.

  Another anomaly is that when I use the t540p without the docking station (but a power supply connected) the screen fades until the "battery level" from time to time, I discovered (also only for a few seconds) and the battery symbol changes from "operation network" to "battery operation" so that the light is dimmed.

  In this case the two power supplies (that comes with the t540p and that comes with the UltraDock)

  Maybe these effects could be linked somehow?

  Anyone of you knows the same problems or got any idea what could be the problem here?

  Best regards

• Qosmio X 870-116: use of Intel / nVidia GPU internal / external display

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio X 870-116 which have 2 video cards, an Intel onboard and a more powerful Nvidia.
  My problem, I did not how to pass my screen on the Intel card and I see my Nvidia for the display external.

  Someone has an idea to pass on to my first display nvidia card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Something like this isn't possible.
  You cannot use two cards simultaneously for internal and external display.

  First of all, you can switch between the external and internal view using the Fn + F4 (or just F4) function key

  Secondly the nVidia Optimus technology optimize the performance of the laptop perfectly without a GPU nVidia and Intel graphics card.
  Switching is automatic and requires no reboot of s for laptop.

• Satellite C660-2F7 - external display on TV via the VGA output

  Hello

  I try to view my laptop on an external device, but do not know if my laptop supports what I am trying to do. If anyone knows if I can do that or not, or if there is a work around, I would be very happy.
  I have a standard digital TV that I am trying to use it as an external display. I use the VGA out port on my C660 2f7.

  I have a VGA-to-AV/S-Video Converter (i.e. vga converts to yellow and S-video cables av red and black) and all ports are connected to the TV via a cable S-video to S-video and AV-to-AV cable. But the computer does not seem dectet anything. I tried 'Connect to a projector' and "Connect to an external device" on the Control Panel, as well as the equivielent keys shortcut, "duplicate them" and "extend". On 'Change the appearance of your displays' I put display to VGA. On "Graphics properties" Intel > General settings > display, I have only options "monitor" and "integrated display.

  And under "Graphics properties" > monitor/tv settings it says "monitor/tv settings are not supported." Does this mean that I can't do what I'm doing? and that my laptop only supports computer monitors and external display? If so, is there no work around that I can use with this or not?

  Thanks in advance.

  Your TV SCART port?
  In the past I ve tested some combinations using port s-video on my old laptop.

  What you can try is to find the cable VGA to SCART and check if it will help.

  Unfortunately, it's a little complicated.

• LCD-100-Pro-40N using as an external display

  Hello. I have installed CTS1300 and using LCD-100-Pro-40N as an external display.

  When I use previously third LCD (NEC LCD), I used DVI to HDMI cable between the telepresence and external display.

  LCD-100-Pro-40N must also DVI to HDMI Cable? Or HDMI to HDMI cable available since both are Cisco brand?

  Both cables may work, but Cisco recommends DVI-HDMI cable between codec and an external display.

  See you soon,.

• External display on HDMI overheating my Mac and drains the battery badly

  Hey guys.

  I am using a MBP retina 2012 15 inches with an external monitor, a generic LCD 1080 p via HDMI without problems. And recently updated for Sierra.

  The question starts immediately when I plug it into the screen. The Macbook seems to overheat and run fans above 4000 rpm, which is very audible and boring. CPU and GPU temperatures go above 70 degrees C (normally they make 50 +). The battery holds for only 1.5 hours, generally works well for 4-5 hours.
  I tried killing all apps, followed a bad process in activity monitor, changing default resolution - nothing helps so far. The CPU is barely used by 10%, the memory pressure is fine.
  It's just that time when I plug the screen - Mac starts bad feeling. Never, the problem occurred on El Capitan. Maybe it's a GPU problem, but certainly caused by the OS.
  All the world had the same problem?

  Try resetting the NVRAM (hold down the command-option-P-R on startup).

  Also, try to restart in Mode without failure, then normally again.

  Finally, try logging into your account, sign in to a user account (or the guest account) and connect the external display. Same problem? If it works fine for a new account then it's something in your own account which is the cause - perhaps an element of connection or some other system changes induced by the operating system previous and who does not play nice with Sierra.

• I have an external display and close my macbook, and still be able to look at the screen and work

  I have an external display and close my macbook, and still be able to look at the screen and work. Currently when I close the screen closed macbook.

  You must ensure that you have an external trackpad and a connected external mouse/trackpad.

• How to activate only the monitor and disable laptop external display?

  I have a widescreen monitor Setup at work and to activate the external monitor, however always want to use the keyboard of the laptop for all my typing. Is there a way to disable the screen of my laptop (since no matter what single arrangement will cause some RSI) and have only the display of the external monitor?

  I was able to do this under windows, with an option to display 'Extended '.

  I'm not sure there is an OS X equivalent to 'Extended screen only', but if I understand what you want to try it properly:

  With the external monitor connected, in the Apple menu > System Preferences > displays click the Arrangement tab move the bar on the external display. Then position the laptop screen so that the upper right corner is aligned with the lower-left corner of the outside (it's evil to make you hover over accidentally to the wrong screen):

  

  Close the preferences window by clicking on the red button at the top left.

  Now on your laptop, turn off your laptop screen brightness completely.

• Two external displays connected to my dock and my ThinkPad T450

  I have two external displays connected to my dock and my ThinkPad T450.
  Everything works fine, when suddenly the monitor LEN LT2223pwC (using DP cable) goes into energy saving mode during use and there is not up to come back/wake, only to turn it off and back on
  This Setup worked very well with my office. For some reason any the monitor does not receive the signal from the laptop / docking station.

  I got a new docking station and solved the problem. Thank you

• Display both internal users and external v5.0

  Hello

  I have an evironment of configuration using view 5 for internal users using PCOIP (about 500).  I want to enable some of these users access to a virtual computer from outside the workplace.  Currently I only use 1 connection to the server.  I can use this connection to the server to enable PCOIP internal and external / RDP connections or I need to connect 2 servers, one for internal and an external?  I'm just trying to understand how it fits into the picture, I intend on using a security server.  If explained elsewhere then please point me to it, but I tried to search.

  Thank you.

  Depends on how they access, most of the cases you need an another view connection to the server that is configured for PCoIP tunneling and external URL is what your users will connect from the outside.

  Its really easy to install, install another (choose the replica), highlight the original, then you configure the settings above and you're done.

• kernel_task runaway (from 300 to 600%) CPU with 2 external displays

  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012), and for a year and a half, I've had episodes fighter during the kernel_task suddenly begin to consume all processor CPU (from 300 to 600%), is the response of the system so slow it is impossible to use.  I experience these episodes throughout the front 1-2 years that the machine went from Yosemite El Capitan and now Sierra.

  Normally, I use my MacBook with two external displays, both at work and at home.  At work, I have two external screens of Lenovo, and at home, I have two screens Apple (Apple Cinema Display 27-inch and 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display). I discovered that this kernel_task high CPU usage can only be stopped by disconnecting one of the external screens.  After unplugging an external display, the kernel_task subsides immediately to normal (< 5%).  After a few minutes, I can reconnect the 2nd external screen and proceed normally (sometimes for days, sometimes for hours, sometimes for a few minutes) until the kernel_task pulls up to 300-600% again.  The use of the high CPU kernel_task never happens unless I have two external displays connected.

  Note that since I upgraded to MacOS Sierra fugue kernel_task CPU frequency has increased considerably: of 1 kernel_task runaway every several days to a runaway almost every 10 minutes or so.   I don't have a reason this frequency has increased, but the runaway condition seems to have worsened by the fact that the photoanalysisd daemon is running like crazy on my grand (72 000) library of Photos.

  Also note that I started in recovery mode and have re-installed MacOS Sierra, and it has no effect on the runaway kernel_task.

  Any ideas on how to fix this resumption of kernel_task of all my CPU?

  I have attached my EtreCheck system report below.  This report was captured with two attached external displays.  At halfway while generating a report, the kicks and started kernel_task hogging CPU again.

  Problem: Computer is too slow

  Description:

  Sometimes, while working with my MacBook connected to two external displays, the kernel_task pulls up to 600 to 800% CPU and stays there until I unplug at least one of the external screens.  After disconnecting, the kernal_task subsides immediately to normal (< 5%).  After a few minutes, I can plug the 2nd external screen and proceed normally (sometimes for days, sometimes for hours, sometimes for a few minutes) until the kernel_task pulls up to 600 to 800% again.  The use of the high CPU kernel_task never happens unless I have two external displays connected.

• How to calibrate an external display for macOS Sierra?

  Hi guys,.

  seems that on my Macbook Pro after the update everything is strong and displayed correctly.

  However, on the external monitor, a 24 "AOC who was as crisp and sharp as the laptop (kind of I know) the images and the text seems to be well screwed. two attached photos to see the differences between the screens - even cannot correctly read the external monitor

  any ideas on how to solve this problem? or is irreparable? I tried to calibrate the monitor, used the old calibration profiles, etc. looks like illegible

  Thanks in advance

  Hello justme12,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your post that the quality of the image on the external monitor is as clear and crisp as it used to be. I understand wanting to the external monitor to be as clear as possible. I recommend using the steps in this article to help resolve this problem:
