    I just connect my MBP to an external monitor, it works fine, except that I wanted to watch a movie on external display (full screen) and use Firefox on the MacBook screen. But as soon as I click on a window other than the dvd player, it leaves the full screen mode. Someone has an idea how I could keep the full screen on one side while using other applications? And if you have any tips on the use of an external monitor I am interested in.

    You can use following setting to to display a clone of the MacBook display on another screen. It is very easy to do this. I think you also do this to fix this problem.
    First go to the Apple =>Now go to the System Preferences option => Now go to the Monitor option => Now go to the Layout option => Now go to the video mirroring option.

    On the Macbook, the extended desktop mode is managed basis, so you have the screen of your macbook and the other screen which will be the extension on the right. You have the copy mode screen that clone what is happening on screen the external screen on MacBook. You can be served as the macbook CPU (screen closed), just plug the external screen, mouse and keyboard and you press space. It is true that AC 2 USB Hub is short but is pretty cheap. Hoping to understand me and answering your questions I wish you a good day .

    You have to use Matrox TripleHead2Go Analog Edition for this. The Matrox TripleHead2Go Analog Edition makes it possible to extend the signal from your graphics card up to 3840 x 1024 pixels on 3 screens, even if it only has one video output. And do not worry if you're not a computer professional: no mounting internal to your computer will be necessary.
