26" Samsung T260HD + Macbook Pro 2.6 = I liiiiiiiiike!

http://www.thebrainchildgroup.com/blog

Here's a video of a Samsung T260HD monitor paired with a MacBook Pro, shot on a Nikon D90. Please excuse the darkness, I wanted to ensure the monitor is visible in the video which, unfortunately, caused me to look very dark. Forgive me!

Afterthoughts -- This is one kick butt monitor! I was looking to purchase (2) 26" Samsungs but could not find an adapter to run two external monitors locally, so I decided to stick with one. In the end, I'm extremely happy and suggest the monitor to any and everyone. I liiiiiiiiiike!

Thank you for the comments everyone! I really appreciate it. I have been swamped with work and just noticed a bunch of comments. Forgive me! :)

Gembenjamin (Ben) -- Regarding monitor hookup, I'm not at that particular computer now, but I'm almost 100% positive I used the cable supplied with the monitor. I plugged it into the DVI out port on my MacBook Pro. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a message.

Hey have you watched TV on this monitor yet? If so how is the quality in comparison to mainstream LCD's on the market?

[TheBrainchildGroup]

stonepete9 -- Pertaining to quality, watching movies/shows on this monitor is excellent. DVD's look very good and I often find myself steaming videos from Netflix. I'm sure some of the brand new LED/LCD TV's may be better, but most are $1,500+

I hope this helps. :)

how can i run my monitor with my macbook lid closed?

help please!

[TheBrainchildGroup]

SebATRandom -- To run the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and lid closed, simply put the machine to sleep and close the lid. Tap your space bar a few times and the computer will startup using the external monitor. Keep in mind you must have an external mouse and keyboard to use this function.

Do not run your Macbook with the closed lid. Follow this step

1 put you Mac to sleep through the software

2 close your lid

3 then press any key on your keyboard

4 when the OS awakens open your lid

This will help your Mac run cooler.

Thanks for the comment! That's actually exactly what I do :)

I also have a Belkin laptop stand with a fan that I typically use under the laptop.
