Adding ANOTHER Monitor
Hey guys. I’m not sure if this question is up the alley of the forum but it’s worth a shot.
I’m trying to connect yet another monitor to my Editing System as a mirror for my secondary monitor. There are several ports on both monitors but none have availed. I have tried to connect via HDMI, VGA, and even S-Video but nothing comes out. Is there any thing I need to change in my Display Settings to make this happen? Or are there any suggestions on what I should try next?
I reckon should resort the manuals but who has time for that. Creative Cow is where real Tech lives and answers get found. Thanks guys for all you do!

“I reckon should resort the manuals but who has time for that.”
But you seem yo have time to wait for others to answer your question, manuals are your best friend. Use them.
“I’m trying to connect yet another monitor to my Editing System as a mirror for my secondary monitor. There are several ports on both monitors but none have availed. I have tried to connect via HDMI, VGA, and even S-Video but nothing comes out.”
It almost sounds like you are trying to connect one monitor directly to the other monitor.
What kind of computer do you have and what type of graphics card you you have?

I’m running on a Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT chipset.
I bought a VGA splitter but the third monitor (HD TV) says this input is not supported, although when I plug up just one monitor with this television, it works fine as a dual monitor (using VGA).
I have also tried to piggy back the third monitor off of both the Primary and Secondary but to no avail. Another side note, my monitors are DELL 2408WFP.
Thanks for the extra eye on a solution.

Hey thanks for your response. I finally got the third monitor working. Yesterday, after I had given up on resolving it…Final Cut crashed on me. In frustration I restarted my computer and magically, it came up on the third monitor–as a mirror from the split.
Somehow my monitors got switched around but I can live with that.
Thanks for your help though.
