• Cannot get T500 to display on the external monitor

  Hello
  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T500 (type 2082.BSG), and I'm having problems after have recently updated my display on the Lenovo site software (read the list of installed software, I think that the installation of the software that is the cause of the problem is "ThinkPad features video [AMD switchable Graphics (M8x)] for Windows 7 [32/64 bit] ') version 8.752.4 - 101022 a-107489C-Lenovo). Before the update my computer has guessed what display is active (laptop screen or external monitor) and used the active display. For example, when the laptop is docked and the cover closed he used the external monitor. After the update when the laptop is connected and the lid is closed, I can't display on the external monitor. I have to open the lid and use the Fn + F7 to get the display on the external monitor. Can anyone tell me please what settings should I use to get the old behavior.

  Kind regards

  The previous is an old post, but as there was no response, and I recently solved the problem, I write in case someone else runs into the same problem.

  After having encountered the problem I restored the factory default driver (which does not show the problem). However, lately I received another message to the effect that it is recommended to install Lenovo "Thinkpad video Features (AMD Switchable Graphics...). ...". I installed the software but the problem described in my original message reappeared. However, this time, the software of (the age AMD) had a "driver update" option and my video material is correctly recognized and the correct driver has been downloaded from the AMD website, after which the problem described in my original post disappeared.

• Maximum resolution of the external monitor on T500?

  I was wondering... my T500 has switchable graphics with ATI 3650. Is it possible to run an external monitor with 1920 x 1080? I am currently running a 22 "Samsung @ 1680 x 1050, but considering the upgrade of the screen on a Samsung 27".

  Advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  You can run an external LCD to 30 inches with resolution WQXGA using the displayport.

  You can run the FHD resolution on vga or displayport.

• Cannot set external monitor like main window on T500

  How can I configure my external monitor as the main in Vista window when it is connected to the docking station DVI port mini?
  "My problem is that the check box ' this is my main monitor" is always disabled after having extended my desktop to monitor 4.

  The external monitor is loaded as screen 4. (Screen 3 is the T500 and 1 & 2 is assigned to the internal Intel screen card that is not in use)

  Thank you

  Vista because of grief in this regard and we have never seen a good answer about why.

  The good news is the utility Thinkpad Presentation Director - fire just that upward and step through the wizard. It will allow you to set up your monitors as you wish and save it as a profile. In most of the situations that the configuration will be available when anchor you, but worst case are you just select the profile of the PD icon in the task bar (or the value of the checkbox to automatically apply whenever the laptop is connected).

  I want to emphasize however that we have to make these options - the great victory is the ability to put primary watching for whatever reason Microsoft has grayed out in regular checkups.

  Best,

  Kevin

  P.S. If you really don't want to see the configuration of four screens and that you will not use the switchable graphics in the BIOS you can set discrete graphics (only) display rather than switchable. You will still likely PD to define primary/Main.

  PPS you should also be able to do through the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but in some cases that makes you stop more than the PD Assistant.

• External monitor not connected - using mooring T500

  Hello

  I have an external monitor connected via my docking station.  It has worked very well so far.  Suddenly the computer does not find the monitor (no external monitor connected).  I see that the monitor is in power save mode - as it used to be when laptop was off.  When I unplug the signal cable, the monitor is powered - so there is nothing wrong with the power of the monitor.

  The incident happened in the following setting:

  1. I had a CD into the laptop when starting

  2. the Conference on disarmament began tearing before that my profile has been loaded (it looked like)

  3. I closed the top of the laptop when it was happening (normally it works very well and the external monitor appears).

  I'm at a loss what to do here and appreciate many clues.

  Tried to call my local support with no luck.

  Hello

  Found the answer to the problem.  Graphic design has been low (internal).  So I changed it to high performance and everything works fine.

• MacBook 12 "and external monitors - experiences

  That I have not found much info on using a MacBook 12 "with external monitors (but have found problems), I thought I would post my experiences here for the benefit of other researchers:

  MacBook 12 "with Dell u3415w (3440 x 1440) via a USB - C adapter Digital AV Multiport (HDMI):

  VIDEO: Experienced random black screens on the external monitor. After update to El Capitan 10.11.4 version which included an update of the firmware of the adapter, the problem become constant, with the external screen crashing to black seconds nonstop. Switching the HDMI on the MHL port on the monitor completely solved this problem.

  VIDEO: I'm only able to get a resolution of 2560 x 1080 scaling to fill the screen, which is a little fuzzy but fine for office tasks - selection reduced 3440 x 1440 or "best resolution for this monitor" translates into a look, windowed 16:9, with black bars on the right and left. I have not yet found solution to reach ultra-wide 21:9 angle at the native resolution (but would appreciate a).

  VIDEO: Macbook 12 discs easily display 3440 x 1440 for tasks of office such as word processing and surfing. Video full HD YouTube is generally good, but gets now and then a little agitated.

  AUDIO: Holding Option and clicking on the speaker icon in the menu bar show selectable option for the audio output to the device (monitor). On this screen, it seems to be a problem of reception of the signal of the Macbook when another device is connected to another port. In my case, a PC connected to the DisplayPort would be "laundered" the audio signal of Mac but ONLY if the PC has been out audio through external speakers, not the monitor (a lot of trial and error to discover this. When the audio PC sent ONLY to the screen, the monitor then accept the audio signal of the Mac, too. But have an external speaker connected via a cable audio 3.5 mm to the pc mobo (taken minijack) would somehow replace the TWO PC and Mac audio signal to the monitor. Something to do through the DP connection maybe)

  with ASUS PB27Q (2560 x 1440) via an adapter, no problem.

  with ASUS PA328Q more ASUS PB287Q (3840 x 2160 or '4 K') using the same adapter. Cursor extremely lag/Office up to that you enable DP (Displayport) 1.2 through settings on the screen of the monitors. This allows the Macbook to drive a monitor 4K at 30 Hz, which is always a little laggy, but realistic enough to be productive for word processing, surfing, etc. Would not recommend a 4K monitor for Macbook 12 for a really "nice" experience until / unless that 60 Hz is an option.

  Hope someone finds this is useful.

• Impossible to get a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 on external monitor using DVI with Optimus video T420s

  Hello

  I have a T420s with Nvidia Optimus graphics card. I also have the ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3.

  When I tried to drive an external monitor via DVI, I can't get the full resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  I searched the forums and found several threads expressing problems with the implementation of the resolution of 2560 x 1600 per display port. Engineering even issued a new nvidia driver to solve problems. (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-Unable-to-get-max-resolution-of-2560x1...

  I uninstalled my intel/nvidia drivers but also installed the latest lenovo driver according to the instructions on the previous post and I still can't get the full resolution of 2560 x 1600 on the DVI ports of the docking station. I tried two DVI ports on the docking station, and it still does not work. I tried enabling Optimus, discreet mode mode, etc... Nothing helps.

  However, if I try to drive the external monitor via the display of the docking port, I can get the complete resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this so I can use the DVI ports on the docking station?

  Thank you very much for the help!

  dvi on the dock port is single link dvi and not dual link dvi, as such, it supports WQXGA or WQHD resolution.

  In order to use the resolution WQXGA resolution, you must use the displayport, if you monitor is not a displayport then you must use an active displayport to DVI.

• 1600 x 900 external monitor on T61/X3100GMA

  I recently bought a new external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2043) with a resolution of 1600 x 900. I have connected VGA cable to my T61, which has an Intel X 3100 graphics card. I've read elsewhere that this graphics card supports a resolution of 1600 x 900. However, the GMA on my T61 driver displays a maximum 1440 x 900 resolution when the monitor is connected. Even my paltry netbook with an Intel GMA 950 can produce the correct resolution to VGA connection screen.  I installed the driver for the monitor on the T61, but it did not help with the problem. Does anyone know of a way to get the correct resolution to work? I've read elsewhere that this might be a limitation of the strange BIOS with Lenovo?

  A workaround is described in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/I-can-t-get-1600x900-resolution-on-my-exter.... Just follow steps 1-3 as shown in the site linked in the discussion forum. Use keys of your monitor auto adjust function to get a clear picture. Don't forget to change the horizontal lines of 1600 to 1599, Lenovo saw fit to block the resolution 1600 x 900 on ThinkPad recent.

• Connection ethernet and external monitor

  Is it possible to connect an ethernet cable and a VGA adapter to a MAC AIR at the same time?  I use my crush on internet in my school and I would like to use an external monitor at the same time.

  There are two options: a dear TB hub that allows you to add additional ports or a USB Ethernet adapter. The USB adapter will be slower, but depending on the speed of your school's network you may not notice a difference.

• MacBook Pro retina 15 inch heats up when it is connected to the external monitor

  Hello

  My problem: When I connect my monitor (LG IPS277L) temperature of my Macbook Pro starts to heat upward. This problem often occurs when I use Facetime.

  I found it really strange because I should have a pretty good Macbook Pro for this.

  MacBook Pro (15 inch, retina, medio 2015)

  Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

  Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: Iris Pro 1536 MB Intel / AMD Radeon R9 M370X

  El Captain 10.11.6 OSX

  I hope that someone recognizes this problem and wants to share their solution.

  When you connect to an external monitor, you use the AMD Chip for graphics (without the external screen, most of the software needs only the graphics engine Intel).  It attracts more power and therefore heats up.  All MacBook Pro for this to some extent.  This should be considered normal.  If the computer is actually overheating, it will stop.

• Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

  I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

  After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

  Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

  I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

• problems connecting to an external monitor with extended workspace

• External monitor flickering Macbook 2016

  I have a Macbook 2016 and an Apple USB - C for Multi AV-HDMI adapter and a LogiLink USB - C for adpater DisplayPort.

  I am using a Dell 3008WFP as an external display monitor (maximum resolution 2560 x 1600 @60 Hz) with my MacBook, but it doesn't seem to work well.

  The monitor will often empty after a short time ('economy' mode) or only occasionally displays a picture and then turns off again. Using a LogiLink USB - C for Displayport is a bit more stable then the adapter Apple, but also often suffers the same problem.

  On a small monitor Samsung 1920 x 1080, the Apple Multi AV adapter seems to work perfectly well, but on the Dell, it is not stable (via HDMI to a resolution of 1920 x 1200, as the Dell only supports supported resolutions higher on DVI or DisplayPort).

  The map is updated latest firmware 2.33. Is there a problem with my MacBook (again)? Or is it a software problem? Is there a work around? Does anyone have a good experience with the MacBook to 2560x1600@60Hz on an external display?

  Hello Schendstok,

• 10.11.6 beat external monitor

  I have a MBP of 2015 the retina with a Benq 27 '' LCD monitor connected via HDMI. Everything was working just dandy and candy, until what I've updated OSX this morning and after restart - no monitor can be found. I tried SMC and NVRAM reset without success. Obviously fed the Mac and the monitor down and up several times too. Tried to "Detect displays" - nothing. Any ideas?

  Hello cameronreilly,.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. Use an external monitor everyday with my MacBook Pro, so I know how useful it can be, and I will do everything I can to help. You were on your way to a very good start with resetting the SMC and the NVRAM. Here what I would recommend is starting up from your Mac in a test user to see if the problem is specific to your user account or if it is systemic.

  To do this, you can open your system preferences and select «Users & groups» Then, click the icon of a padlock at the bottom and enter your password to unlock the options. Click the plus sign (+) to add a new user. Don't forget to make the administrator user. Once the account is set up, log on your current account and in the new test user. If the monitor is not detected in the test user, I recommend reinstall the update by using the recovery mode. This will not delete the files from your mac. This article will guide you in this process: How to reinstall OS X
