Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
i didnt even know you can run 2 monitors. . i guess one would need some sort of a breakout cable for that? (as there is only one dvi port).
i have a cheap 17 lcd which is fine for a second. just bought a griffin elevator stand for the laptop which puts it one the same level as the monitor.

I was in this quest before but this is only possible with a special adapter (kind of extern viedeocard splitter) I have forgotten the name though.
buy a 24" instead and you should be fine.

Using a single Dell monitor here with my MBP, works great.

Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
I second the advice above for a 24" - that's the size you need to start getting decent 1920x1200 resolution. I got a Samsung SyncMaster245BW, and recommend it highly.
Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
Samsung 23" here.
Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
yep, and if you buy it new it is almost the price of a good monitor.

Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
Thanks guys..the Dell S2209W "bring" Full HD 1920 x 1080 (optimal) resolution, does this changed when it comes to Mac book pro via DVI ?
Anything i should consider before buying? most of my work would be Live and other music production...
Thanks Again

Re: Recommended lcd monitor with Macbook pro ?
I think the resolution if used as a main monitor (Mirror mode) will be something like 1900x1200 so make sure it supports that.

Think i'll go with ASUS MK241H Black 24" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor (1920 x 1200) only $250 on newegg
Anyone use this one ?
