If you’ve followed the above instructions and your external display still isn’t working correctly, then you can try the following fixes: 1. Follow the instructions here to make sure your external monitor is connected properly. Let’s get the obvious out of the way first and make sure your external monitor and Mac are set up correctly. But I think it's a waste of good screen real estate.Before We Begin: Are You Sure Everything’s Connected Correctly? You would of course have the menu bar on both screens since they are mirrors of each other. Now the two images are identical on both screens albeit the max screen size is determined by the smallest screen in the mirrored set. However there is a checkbox in the Arrangement to run in mirrored mode. This is extended desktop mode and I recommend that to be able to use all the available screen real estate.

Then you can drag the mouse or windows across with in that "space". Drag the monitors around each other to define their relationship. Your two monitors can be spatially arranged with the Arrangement in Displays as well. However there is a third party app called MenuEverywhere that allows you to do that (it has mixed reviews). You cannot make both monitors main monitors. You can drag the little menu bar to the other monitor if you wish to make it the main monitor. One will have a little white "menu bar" on it. If you look at the Arrangement tab in your Displays preferences you will see both monitors. When you have multiple monitors only one monitor is designated as the "main" monitor. Basically you want to line up the monitor arrangment in Arrangement to the way you prefer it.Īrrangements, Menu Bar, Extended Displays, and Mirrored Displays
The part you are most interested in is about the Displays Arrangement tab. However, I tried many variations of the resolution on both screens to see if that changed didn't.īelow is my "standard description" about multiple monitors. Any thoughts about what's going on here?įOOTNOTE: My eyes aren't what they used to be, so the HP is set to 1344x756 and the Cinema Display is set to 1344x756 to make everything larger. It's almost like these screens are out of alignment.the HP sitting a few inches higher than the Cinema Dislay. The cursor won't cross for about the bottom 1/4 of the HP, and when I move the cursor up so it will cross, it appears at the bottom of the Cinema Display. When I move the cursor down toward the middle of the Cinema Display, it crosses over but appears a the top of the HP.Ī similar thing happens moving from the HP to the Cinema Display, except at the bottom of the screen. I have to move the cursor more toward the middle to cross over. I've noticed the following: If the cursor is on my Cinema Display and I move it left toward the HP, at about the top 1/4 of the screen the cursor won't cross comes to the edge of the screen and stops. I just added the HP about a month ago, and this is the first I've had dual displays.so I'm still learning. On my right I have an old 23" Apple HD Cinema Display (max resolution 1920x1200). On my left I have a new HP 2311 23" monitor (maximum dpi 1600x900).
