Best displays for mac mini. While it's certainly meant to be more of a portable option, there's no real reason you can't use the 15-inch, 1080p ASUS ZenScreen at your desk, especially if you're looking to create a more compact setup.

AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to HDMI Adapter. I needed a VGA adapter to connect my MacBook Pro to the video projector at the. This cord works great for if you want to project your Macbook Air, or if you want to. It works very well, and the screws on the VGA cable do screw into it, but not all the way.

I want to use my MacBook Pro (early 2011, Software OS X 10.8.2) and connect 2 Phillips 26' 720p LED HDTV's to it. Basically I want one big screen/extend my display across 2-3 screens (if I can use my MacBook Pro as a third screen, awesome, if not - no big deal - the 2 26' Monitors are sufficient).

Right now, I have 1 Monitor hooked up to my MacBook Pro and can use both the 1 Monitor's screen and the screen on my MacBook. I'm currently using a Rocketfish Adapter & 1 HDMI cord (I bought a 2 pack and haven't been able to make use of the second one). My question is: what do I need to order to make both Monitors display 1 extended screen from my MacBook, and I also want the quality on the screen to be pretty decent (right now the quality is mediocre coming from the cheapest HDMI cord I could get at Best Buy). I need to use this set up for graphics, web, etc. - The attached pic is basically what I am looking to do - Help please!

I suppose it comes down to personal preference though and is largely dependent on your workflow and intended results. For instance, full screen apps (whether we are talking about Lion full screen or Windows-style full screen) are going to function differently depending on what type of setup you have.

When I'm doing CAD work, I prefer to have a drawing full-screen on one monitor and all palettes and reference work on another monitor. Movies for another. It's much easier with discrete monitors to put a movie onto its own screen and to go full screen. Having discrete monitors also allows for flexibility in placement (including bezel sizes).

Not to mention flexibility in upgrading, he could choose to upgrade 1 monitor at a time and he wouldn't suffer from having mismatching resolutions. Personally, that's enough disadvantages to steer me to something like a DisplayLink (USB to something) adapter.

Quote: Hi, when using non-video serato i have no issues. When using serato video i have the odd drop-out, despite having an I5 processor and GeForce graphics card. I'm tieing most of my issues to Windows as its a Sony Vaio Laptop. Def keen on getting a Macbook. However, i dont want to overspend/overkill. What Macbook is sufficient enough.Pro? Can the Intel Iris graphics deal with serato video OK?

Many thanks Craig If you go the Serato Video route, you'll need at least one of the top of the line 2012 or later 15' with a dedicated video card. My questions are this: Are you playing 1080p HD stuff? Are you open to picking up Mix Emergency (it can use the iris chipset way more efficiently on even the 2013-current 13 and 15 inch models)? I would honestly say not to get anything without a dedicated graphics card because yes it may still run it won't run well and as you progress in spinning video you will eventually want to use effects or transitions that the intel card simply won't have enough umph to support. Serato Video has been known to run like crap on both Mac & PC so if at all possible stay away from it.
