The two through the USB adapters feel ever so slightly sluggish - really not that noticable, and I’m pretty happy. I wish you could put the dock on an external monitor, but I haven’t found a way to do that. Want your menu bar for a program on a particular monitor? Just click on the thin line I’ve pointed to below and drag it to the monitor you want: Here’s the Arrangement screen from the Display control in System Preferences: Let’s not even get into how in doing all this, my laser printer fell on the floor and now probably has to be replaced. My current setup is shown at the top of of this post (and shut up.

My laptop screen:Īnd what I see for each of my monitors on the sides:

Each of my four screens is seen independently by the Mac - and can be independently controlled.

I had three external monitors running in total, plus my laptop display (1440×900 resolution on a 15″ screen) as well.

Once the drivers were installed, and I rebooted, my Mac saw my two additional monitors. In turn, that sent me to a forum page where, if you scroll down to the very bottom, you get the latest driver. I guess it’s a standard for multiple monitor support. Well, I didn’t even know what DisplayLink was.

However, there was another sparse manual in what I downloaded that mentioned Mac support - saying to get the drivers from the DisplayLink site. So I went back to online product page (that I linked to above), found the support area and downloaded the drivers that clearly said Mac OS. And the sparse printed instructions didn’t mention the Mac at all.ĭammit. And the CD-ROM enclosed didn’t have any drivers. Then I plugged the cable from each of my square end monitors into each box:Īs for my middle monitor, I plugged that directly into my Mac’s built-in external display port. When I got home, I plugged them both into my external USB hub. End result: me saying you know, I’ll spend the extra $5 to $10 I was going to save just to get the heck out of the store.) But then, a third customer service person was enlisted to try and fix the mess the second person was making in trying to override the system. That’s not true - it’s the rebate that’s limited to one per household. All along, he kept telling me I could have the $65 price only on one, as these were currently only one to a customer. Then a second person was enlisted to override the system. Asking why caused the clerk to take me on a hike across the store to see the price marked on the shelf. But due to the unique nature of Fry’s, that $65 price didn’t ring up on the register. Plus, the price is actually $65 each at Fry’s right now, so that’s $55 with rebate. Fry’s also currently has a $10 rebate going on, making them $60, if you believe rebates ever work. (I must also include this Fry’s digression, for Fry’s fans.

Diamond BVU160: Currently $38 (this seems to be an older version and, as best I can tell, works exactly the same except the max resolution supported is 1600×1200).

Want buy the Diamond or Matrox online? Here are links to Amazon with my affiliate code, so yep, I earn something off of these: So I purchased two of them – $70 each, $140 total versus $340 for the Matrox box. The box said it worked with Macs and could drive the resolutions I wanted. My solution was to go with a Diamond BVU195 USB-DVI adapter.

I knew there were some solutions for the MacBook, because I’d explored some options early on, as outlined in my Multiple Monitor Solutions For The MacBook Pro post. I’ve missed my three monitor setup and have even pondered leaving the Mac entirely to get back to it. I’d usually use it for running my Windows XP installation on my MacBook “up above” with my Mac programs (usually just Firefox) running “down below.” My Mac & Windows Under VMware – Awesome! post has more about this. My external monitor was a big Dell 24″ widescreen running at 1920×1200 resolution. When I made the leap to a MacBook, I had only one external display port - so I could only run one external monitor. My My Multimonitor Setup: Three Screens For One Computer post explains how I used to run three monitors from my Windows XP desktop. After nearly two years of leaving my desktop and a 3 monitor setup behind, I’m back to 3 monitors + 1, four screens in total, all running from my MacBook Pro.
