trying to set up dual monitors &amp; connect my macbook pro. I have the HMDI to DVI cable &amp; if i got this one then the 2 monitors would work together?

Yes they would. I currently have a macbook pro retina with two of these. I have two monitors, plus use the macbook's display as a third monitor and then sometimes connect a fourth monitor like my tv to the hdmi port. All 4 at the same time.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.

The monitor works well on a Macbook Pro ---- HOWEVER, you will lose your ability to control the volume settings from your keyboard if you choose to use the built-in HDMI audio. If you know of any work-around for this, please let me know.

Yes, I have ever since the software update, and it works fine running a dual monitor from my MacBook Pro off of the DVI.

I can't speak specific to a Macbook Pro, but I am using it with a Windows laptop that has a miniport-HDMI cable and it works fine. I do realize that isn't a Mac, but just in case a Mac user doesn't speak up, thought I'd let you know a miniport-HDMI does work in at least some cases. Best of luck!

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

It's very simple, you just plug the display port end into the display port input in your macbook and then connect the other end into one of your HDMI ports on your TV. If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, you may need to try a few of them. Mine didn't work on HDMI 2 or 3, but it did work on my HDMI 1 port. Good luck, hope this helped!

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

From what I've seen at different places on the internet, any monitor with a DVI connector will work with a MacBook. Under 'Technical Details' on the Amazon.com page it says it'll work with both Mac and PC.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

Okay, so I've spent at least the past hour trying to figure this out, and I finally give up. I had a few problems with Mac and decided to give Windows a try first. Needless to say, I never made it far enough to try it on Mac. Keep in mind, I'm not sure how a Radeon card (and it's drivers) would handle this, as I only have an Nvidia card. So after creating custom resolutions and messing with scaling in the Nvidia Control Panel, I finally got both "displays" to look and function right. The Nvidia control panel reports that I have two 1720x1440 monitors @60Hz, which is the first half of the battle. After I got that far I tried to use Nvidia surround. The Nvidia Surround configuration tool would not let me properly choose anything other than 6880x1440@50Hz. Most likely this is because the drivers detect these "screens" as two 3440x1440@50Hz displays, which is why I had to mess with scaling and custom resolutions originally (something I would consider a design flaw). So basically, the closest I got was running both of these 1720x1440@40Hz "displays" side by side, behaving as you would expect. I'm very skeptical that these are running at 60Hz too. Everything says that it's running at 60Hz, but the fact that I couldn't put them into 60Hz without making a custom refresh rate makes me question whether or not it's really running at 60Hz. Hope that helps.

Yes it will work but you will sacrifice quality. VGA is the old video standard. If you are using an HD Mac and want the picture to show up HD then you need to use the other port on the monitor which is a DVI port. So if you want HD then you must get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Hope this helps!

So, yeah it only has one DVI out connection but it also has the apple specific video out, I believe it's the mini display port ( you should double check that's what it is called). With that second connection I know you can also send out a video signal, so you should be able to run a dual-monitor set up. Hope this helps.

the monitor comes with dvi and vga cables. However, you will need to buy a mini-HDMI adaptor for one of those two cable heads to use it with a macbook
