Q: Mac Pro (late 2013) Multiple monitors
I have 4 monitors hooked up this computer and Ive had nothing but issues with it all.
I have the following monitors:
- Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27". This monitor is my main one.
- 27" Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. I have 2 of these.
- Monoprice 19" TFT Interactive Pen Display Monitor. This monitor is not recognized at all by the computer.
Here are my issues:
- Sometimes when the computer wakes up the main monitor does not wake up with it. Therefore causing the computer to only recognize two monitors. I have this monitor hooked up using a mini display port cable.
- I have one of the UltraSharp monitors hooked up using a Active DVI to MiniDisplay Port adapter. I had read that this was going to work but all it does is it keeps flashing in and out every so often.
- The other monitor is hooked up using a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable. With this setup the monitor does not use the correct resolution.
- The Monoprice monitor is hooked up with a MiniDisplay port to DVI cable. That monitor does not even get recognized.
Keep in mind that all of these monitors worked well before me buying this new Mac Pro. I had a Mac Pro Late 2008 with my own video card and everything worked perfectly. I am honestly very annoyed with it all. I've spent sooooo much money on this computer thinking that its going to work but all it does is the opposite. I have looked on the web and have tried several different things but nothing seems to work right. I've also called apple support but when it comes to this issue no-one seems to be able to help. The one thing that I have yet to try is buying a dual-link adapter. They are way too expensive and I don't feel like continuing to dump more money into this computer. This forum is my last hope before I return it back to apple. Also I have already looked at this page and its more confusing than helpful. PLEASE HELP.
Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
