[QUOTE="eternalhaze21, post: 1236113, member: 201707"] I have a late 2006 Macbook Pro hooked up to an Asus VE247 24" monitor. I've been having problems with the monitor refreshing the screen. For example, when I am using photoshop, it takes a while for me to see the results of whatever button I pressed (aligning two photos as one example). Or, if I press "Undo," it doesn't show me what I undid until I click on another button to do something else. Also, in Firefox, when I open up a menu (the File menu for example) and mouse over a menu choice with an arrow next to it, the rest of the menu doesn't come up until I click on it. I never had this problem until I hooked up the external display. A little background about the monitor (from System Profiler on my Mac): Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Mirror: On Mirror Status: Hardware Mirror Online: Yes Rotation: Supported And about my macbook pro: Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: On Mirror Status: Master Mirror Online: Yes Built-In: Yes Also, the refresh problem is also happening on my macbook pro screen when I have the external monitor plugged in. How can I fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance. Let me know if you have any questions or need any more information. [/QUOTE]
