iMac + 23" Cinema Display + Wacom CINTIQ 12WX?...

Hi

I currently have a 23" Apple Cinema Display connected as a second screen on my iMac via an Apple Mini DVI to DVI adapter, however I am considering purchasing a Wacom CINTIQ 12WX graphics tablet and was wondering how I go about connecting this as essentially it will be the third display?

Many thanks

iMac 2.16 24" 3GB, Air 1.8 SSD, iPhone 8GB, Apple TV, etc, Mac OS X (10.5.3), Apple Whore!

You won't be able to use both at once. You could add a DVI switch to save wear on the connectors. May sure you get one rated for 1920 x1200.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I thought it was possible to run a multi-monitor setup on macs, is there not a 1 into 2 relay box I could buy to be able to run both my monitor and the tablet?

Matrox does make a box to attach two displays to one port, but the displays need to have the same resolution. The Wacom and Apple 23" are different resolutions, so it won't work for your setup.
