Mac External monitor display mode

The MacBook external display displays in four ways:

1. Extended Mode

The same screen is extended to more than two displays, can achieve each display display the same picture of the different parts of the notebook close to the sleep state, this display mode also requires the graphics card on multiple monitors to allocate resources, but also than the mirror mode of resource consumption, so the display effect is general, Generally used in multiple screens at the same time using a number of programs to work at the site, because of the characteristics of the MAC program separation, this mode under the Mac application is also more extensive.

2. Closed cover mode

is to use an external monitor only, the notebook monitor does not display and can be used to close the lid. Display performance, this display mode is to maximize the use of graphics cards, graphics can focus on the external display, so the display effect is the best, while the monitor does not work, on the cover after the cooling and some help, is the most common external display applications.

3, Mirror mode

Is that both the notebook monitor and the external monitor display the same complete picture simultaneously, and the notebook cover is entered into the sleep state. Display performance, this display mode requires graphics distribution resources on two display at the same time, so the display effect is the worst, generally used in communication, lectures, meetings on the display of the effect of the site is not too big.

4, Mixed mode

Is the combination of mirroring mode and extended mode, to have more than 3 display support (including a portable monitor), this mode can be extended to display one screen on two or more monitors, and the other (or more) image of the display mirroring expansion, which is the highest consumption of graphics, The effect is also not particularly ideal, generally used in special complex occasions.

Four mode Setup issues:

First look at the preferred order of several modes, when there is no setting, the external monitor is extended mode, if the Shang image mode, the highest priority of the mirror mode (that is, check the mirror mode, it is likely not to enter the cover mode and extended mode), in the extended mode, set drag, then enter the blending mode.

1. Extended Mode setting

This mode is the default, connect to the external monitor, no check the mirror mode, not be closed to wake into the closed-cover mode, that is the expansion mode. In extended mode, click "Arrange" and arrange accordingly according to the instructions.

Exit expansion mode and exit the expansion mode as long as you enter the closing mode or check the "mirrored display". Note that the extended operation may need to be set on the portable monitor.

2. Cover Mode setting

In this mode, the external power supply must be guaranteed, otherwise it may not be awakened. Connect the power supply first, then connect the monitor, and then divide it into two parts, if it is a wired mouse keyboard, then close the lid directly click the mouse keyboard to wake up; if it is a Bluetooth mouse keyboard, the Bluetooth settings in the settings can be awakened by the device (Bluetooth settings-Select the device-advanced-check options) and then cover, click the device wake-up. Mirroring mode cannot be checked in closed-cover mode.

Close cover mode exit, enter the closing mode, unplug the external monitor line or select mirror mode in the display settings to exit the cover mode, but if the monitor is not Apple or not sure whether to support hot plug, it is best to click Sleep, pull out the connector in sleep state.

3, Mirror mode settings

This mode is simple, connect the external monitor, set the resolution of two or more monitors in the display option (preferably set to the same, but the general system will automatically set up) and then click "Arrange", check "mirror Monitor" can be.

Exit Mirror mode, the "mirror display" of the hook removal can be, note that in mirror mode can not enter the cover mode and expansion mode.

4. Mixed Mode setting

Set the three or more monitors to extended mode, and then hold down the option key to drag a monitor icon onto the mirrored display to mirror the two displays (mirroring more also in this way) release option and drag the other into the extension.

Some other settings:

1, in the mirror and extended mode fast switch can press F7 key to achieve.

2, sometimes the computer can not automatically identify the display, then the first to connect the monitor and then the order of the computer to try again.

3, external display, it is possible to display the effect of the problem is not ideal, especially the font, the first try to use the cover mode, followed by the appearance of the check to use LCD smoothing font, and finally in the font size where the selection of the appropriate value, this is not an inevitable process, That is, there is no need to set the next step as long as the solution is resolved.

Also say the Mac font display, say popular point, win under the priority display display effect, sharpening the font to optimize a lot of display effect, the MAC is the priority of the paper display effect, no deliberate font optimization and sharpening, so, in win under the font looks more clear and full, But print out is not necessarily the effect, and the Mac may appear to hollow may not be sharp enough, but the display effect is what print out the effect of the paper is what, this is the reason many designers like to design on the Mac, but also win and Mac look different reasons, so, The above method again how to tune, the display effect also cannot and win consistent.
