💕 Thank you so much! I'm very near sighted and after a teacher asked me why I sat so close squinting at my laptop screen I knew I had to find a solution. Going slowly over connections for the mouse, keyboard, and audio as well as the different connectors I may encounter... this video was perfect. I also GREATLY appreciate that you planned ahead and edited shots. There is nothing worse than information interrupted by endless hems and haws. It was a joy listening to you deliver your message.😊

One of the clearest, most direct "how to" videos I've ever seen! Thank you. No extra chatter. Just solved the problem in clear and concise way. Subscribed!

Thank you. This was one of the clearest and most helpful videos I’ve come across. I’m interested in splitting my screen between the two monitors. Do you have a video on how to do that, please?

This is a good solution for getting the smaller 13in MacBook Pro for travel, and a large screen when at home. Thanks for the great video.

I think this is the most helpful video I've seen in a while! Very easy to follow, and SO helpful. Get a like :-)

Thanks so much. Very helpful. Is it possible to do the same set up with two monitors? by connecting the monitors to each other by another HDMI cable?

4:48 - This is key. I wasn't aware of this little detail, as my MacBook at work refused to turn on external monitor when it was closed. Once I plugged in charger in MacBook, then closed it, voila the monitor works! 😎👊🏻

Very helpful for the 4k macbook screen where I need to use a magnifying glass to see my editing icons.

This video told me everything I needed to set up an external monitor and keyboard.

Some Know and Teach Well, others know and do not Teach Well. You sir are the former. Excellent, Simple and Directly to the point. You even took the time to edit it to maintain a nice flow. Where were you when I was at DeVry? Great Job!!

Thanks so much for this video! I have a USB-C HDMI cord - however I am having trouble getting the sound to play on my monitor instead of my Mac. I go in and switch the output to the monitor vs the Mac and nothing plays. Any tips for this?

Can I connect imac 2014 and mac macbook pro 2012 to make them a mirroring of each other?

You can use the mouse and the keyboard with one usb receiver just download the app

This is really helpful but my huge concern is whether the thunderbolt and the HDMI cable will have an audio sound from the TV? I have an Macbook pro and a Imac.

hey if i have an older version of mac and dont have a hdmi port on it but my monitor has one could I buy a usb hdmi adapter?

Now this, is exactly what i needed to see.

Hey ReviewLamp! Thank you so much. So informative. I have a macbook air wt no hdmi port. Is there still a way I can do this? Also, I don't like wireless mice - i'm constantly changing batteries. What are my options here?

Nice vid! I do have a question. When using the method with the the thunderbolt cable will it charge the MacBook? I have seen multiple videos and I'm guessing according to the monitor you can also use the monitor as a hub and it will charge the MacBook. Any input on that ?

Just plug it into a usb port on your mac or on the USB hub. And then select that camera on any video chat/calling program you use. Those webcams are plug n play, so they don’t need any additional setup

Hello, great video man! But wont the MacBook Pro's battery fry if i have it connected to the charger at all times?

@Akashaflow

7 жыл бұрын

No. I have had mine connected to a power source most of the time, since I got my macbook pro 6 years ago, and I can still use it for at least 4 hours just running on a battery, haven't actually tried for any longer than that. It has not fried my battery life so far.

When I watch on my TV a slideshow I created on my MacBook Pro, the display on my laptop shrinks so small I can barely read the dock icons. Is there a way to fix this?

Question... my monitor has an HDMI port, but the monitor doesn’t have built in speakers, so do I need to use separate speakers to plug into the audio port on the back of the monitor? Also if I am using this set up for google meets, will the camera and mic be used on the monitor or MacBook?

So I have to get a thunderbolt for video? Thanks for the insight! Some things seem like I should know but I just need a little help.

How do I raise the resolution now that it’s on the monitor?
