Can;t attach it, wrong connections on this ancient laptop.
Yeah, the magic smoke came out of the magic box, but I was too slow to catch it. Also I don't have a magic smoke compressor to squeeze it back in.0 -
Was gonna say, even my netbook will work on my 22" monitor and 32" TV.
On a side note, you got a linky for the fort bill replay? I checked freecaster but they seem to opt for random assorted words for their titles, rather than something meaningful that you can actually use to find what you after :shock:0 -

In all fairness unless it's a mac pro you can't use dual monitors which kinda sucks. But you can mirror your screen. Every comp in the house here can be connected to the tv, if I could be bothered to get the adapter I could even plug in the iPhone to the tv.0

I've got my (3 year old) Vista laptop connected to my TV, RIGHT NOW, using it as an extension to my laptop screen. I use it mainly to view photo's on, as the screen is bigger and MUCH better quality (the laptop screen has some battle-damage... )
I should really get a new laptop... Boo-yah mofo
Sick to the power of rad

you see..i've gone against the trend that mac's look good.... mines all stickered up with the stickers from MBUK
I got some rather funny/shocked looks when I took it to the mac shop in Manchester 0 -

no I wasn't on about windows stuff. Appl restrict their macs to not be able to use a dual monitor set-up unless you buy a mac pro (or macbook pro) the regular non pro ones don't allow it. but they will allow you to show whatever is on the main screen on a second screen. one restriction that microsoft hasn't put in place. they allow you to plug in as many monitors as you have ports for.0

Again, microsoft doesn't make computers.
That's like saying, Specialised don't allow you to use anybody's tyres apart from their own brand. Shimano, however, doesn't do this.
See, senseless.0 -

Not quite, It is the Intel/Nvidia/ATi drivers that control this... and it's only recently that more than 2 monitors per video card has become available (even though they have had at least 3 ports for many years)0 -

maybe, but it seems to me like it's perfectly possible to do on a standard mac, but through the software they stop you being able to.
and yeehaa, it's the software block that I was refering to with windows, not the hardware. the windows software (made by microsoft) doesn't stop you running multiple monitors. whereas the mac software does.
may I make it clear though, I'm an apple fanboy who can actually see the flaws with apple stuff...0 -
One thing that bugs me is that you can no longer do video "mirroring" on Nvidia and ATi cards in Windows, you have to use dated Matrox pieces of crap for it.
What I mean by that is, a third screen, which only displays any video you are playing, fullscreen. We use this all the time at work, for recording TV voiceovers and cartoon dialogue. We have a video playing in the audio software in the control room, and the Matrox mirrors this video to a large display in the voiceover booth. If Nvidia allowed this, I've get rid of the bloody matrox Parhelias we use in a heartbeat.0 -
