It is extremely unfortunate that Apple has not addressed this restrictive behaviour at all. Very un-Apple. If you choose the 3rd option, you will have your main screen in full size without menu bar nor 3 color button frame, which is a complete full screen mode. Arron — you say it is all about the application that one is using. That would be VLC. You have identified another.

And there may be more out there. Unfortunately the Full-Screen App behaviour is problematic, to say the least. Why Apple would implement full-screen mode for its applications in the way it does rendering other monitors unusable remains a mysterious failing to me. And I hate it. They are I think addressing this in Mountain Lion. But what you cite is the very reason why I hardly ever use full screen mode when running a multiple monitor setup; maximizing gives me most of what I want and lets me keep the other monitors.

I have long observed that there are two types of desktop users; those who maximize every window, and those who size them to just what is needed. I tend to be the latter, so fullscreen mode is of limited benefit to me. Now, if I try and do that in Lion it gives me the grey wallpaper and it sends the movie to the main screen.

It was annoying because I used to do work on my MacBook Pro and have the kids watch a clip in class. Would be great if the article specified the exact cables they used and where they plugged them. Apple has developed a nasty habit of letting their equipment run really hot.

For example my Time Capsule, we used it to keep the brewed coffee warm. Ran real hot for about 13 months, then just died, a month after the warranty expired. That product was just junk and Apple neglected it. Similarly, my year old mac mini sometimes goes berserk and gets quite hot. So its worrisome that you report that driving several monitors gets the macbook to hot up.

Does this work twice, I wonder? You can use SwitchResX to create new scaled resolutions. The MacBook Pro seems to not have that limit. It sounds like the iMacs were using their native x mode. Can you use Quartz Debug. This is how the Retina display modes are rendered. They draw into a screen buffer that is twice as wide and twice as tall as the resolution they represent.

You can see this when you take screen shots with Command-Shift For example, the x Retina Display mode is rendered at x which is 1. The effect is not exactly the same though as the x HiDPI mode though scale factor 1. The macbook pro retina has 2 Thunderbolt ports plus an hdmi port. Now, can you daisy chain the Thunderbolt ports if you have an apple Thunderbolt monitor?

And what would be the maximum resolutions? Apple only supports 2 monitors via Thunderbolt. I take that as whether you daisy chain two on one port or use two connected directly that you can use two. Would I be able to run 2 external monitors via daisy-chained Thunderbolt most likely? The thunderbolt display cannot drive a mini display port display directly, but it can connect to another thunderbolt display.

But we really just plugged it an saw everything displayed. Your x display is probably dual link DVI-D. HDMI 1. I wonder if you can play games in stereoscopic 3D? Mike, you mentioned this configuration causes the rMBP to get pretty hot. Well even CS6 has display issues on the new Retina. Thanks for trying this out! No thunderbolt displays for me. Any other measurement tool beyond your eyeball? Moving images and such around was not laggy at all, buttery smooth, just like with one external display.

It would be interesting to see how much vRAM is getting used in this configuration. Pull down the CPU menu. There is a graph of the video memory usage. Do you know how many monitors it will support without utilizing Thunderbolt? Or perhaps all three? Any I dea why? Can the MBA drive more than one external display though? The HD should be capable to do this. Imagine a near? No idea. Is this the limit, or just the limit you tested. Based on previous Thunderbolt MacBook Pros, you should be able to connect another two screens I think they have to be Thunderbolt Cinema Displays to the Thunderbolt ports.

We may indeed try that test next, though it got pretty hot running four, and we had to plug them in one at a time to get the system to accept all screen. After it got it all setup, it was solid after that, with restarts making all the screen appear without fail. Stay tuned…. Right, but are there one or two Thunderbolt busses? You will never get more than four because the Kepler GPU in there only supports four.

The big question is, can you drive four external making the internal screen go dark. The HDMI port is 1. I am in real need of this to replace a MacPro with something smaller and mac minis cant do this. Would be right around 11MP, so under the 14 here. That would basically get me back to my old Mac Pro config. According to Apple I asked to clarify this exact issue , this is not possible.

Thunderbolt will max at 2 so the 3rd must be from the HDMI port. David Empson in a comp. Does the 3rd external monitor have to be off HDMI or could you daisy chain via one of the thunderbolt displays. On a side note, did you mean that the resolution was x on the iMacs?

They used to make imacs, but they stopped doing that a couple years back. Pretty impressive graphics system…. Email Address. We use cookies to provide you with a full shopping experience, including personalized content, and to help us improve your experience.
