[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1660606, member: 56379"] Thanks for the display info. Yes…the resolution of this external display is not much more than the 13" MacBook Pro's display. 1440 x 900 is what is found on most 15" displays. It probably isn't enough to view a full page document…but of course it is more than the 13" MacBook Pro's display. You can have the menu bar and the dock on either the external display or the MacBook Pro's display. Look at the photo below. You will see the "white bar" at the top of the representation of one of the displays. You can click & drag this white bar to the other display. And then the Menu Bar & Dock will be on the other display. [img]https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/osx/lion_mirror_change_display.png[/img] If you want an external monitor with a greater resolution. Something like a 22"-24" display will get the job done. This size monitor will have a resolution of 1680 x 1050 to 1920 x 1080. You will be able to see a lot more. If you shop around…monitors this size can be found for $150 or less brand new. And if you are ok with a used display…they can be found for a lot less on Craig's List. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
