[QUOTE="chscag, post: 921831, member: 46727"] I can't speak for Dell monitors, but as far as using any monitor with the lid of your MBP closed, it should work regardless. You need to have an external keyboard and mouse attached. Take a look at the following Apple KB article titled "Clam shell mode". [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131"]Link[/URL] No external monitor is going to work properly unless you can get it to display in its native resolution. That includes your Dell. Also, you must use AC main power when you have an external monitor attached. Regards. [/QUOTE]
