External Monitor

posted by nora34786 on Apr 01, 2008


I'm trying to use my Cornea MP704 as an external monitor for my MACBook running Leopard - 10.5.1 - and I can't get it to work. I can see my wallpaper on the monitor, but none of my icons or desktop stuff shows up. Do you think this is a compatibility problem? The monitor works fine with my G5 running 10.4.11

No. This is almost certainly a setting issue. Go in to the control panels and change the way the monitor is used. I.E. extension desktop, mirror, etc. Then check the settings for the second monitor and make sure it is not set to some huge size or resolution. This is a function of the MacBook and OSX. I had a similar issue when connecting it to a 71" DLP.
