Q: Use of HDMI external monitor with my laptop closed
Hi all. I'm actually using a McBook PRO connected to an external HDMI monitor. Everything is great and I can see properly the desktop of my laptop on the external monitor.
If I leave the computer on and active and I close the screen I should still be able to work with it and see the desktop on the external monitor. On the contrary the external monitor goes black.
If I try to move the USB mouse connected to wake the laptop , nothing happens.
This has been already tested with 2 different monitors and HDMI cables.
Any suggestion ? Anything I need to check in the Energy tab or something like that ?
I've one of the latest MacBook PrO 15" and I'm using Sierra
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
