• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi Guys,

I have added an image below to show you what i mean.

I only have a 13inch macbook pro and finding it very difficult to see the screen and work on it! I have 2 19inch screens which i would love to use if i could get my mac through them.

Could anyone tell me if its possible or what i would need to buy to make this work.

There's just not enough information here. Can you tell us what kind of display connector the screens use? And if you can't identify it, can you at least take a pic?

You just need a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter. Without the Matrox setup cradom mentioned, you can only use one of the monitors.

I can't believe those screens are 19". I guess working in 16:10 all the time has spoiled me, those screens look tiny. :)
