Does the Cinema display auto dim in synchronization with your MacBook display? I can’t seem to find an answer to that. I haven’t asked at the Apple store because that place takes my money every time I go there! ;)

To make the big monitor the main – in System Preferences – Display. Click on Arrangement and drag just the white bar to the big box. Voila.

I’m running the same setup, but was unaware of the ability to move the menu bar to the larger display. This was the only issue I was having and now it’s fixed. This is just like my previous 20″ iMac with external display setup as far as what I’m used to.

Another feature I discovered in my ACD 24 LED is its ability to run off the Macbook even without the power plugged in (which is good for draining your battery. Just pull out the monitor to macbook power cable and restart! It will blank out for a while during boot up but wait for it.

Can anyone confirm the ability to run the external display(any) with the lid closed on previous models of the MacBook Pro?

I was using the Griffin Elevator to support the laptop in a dual display config, but never tried to close the lid…

andy, in the monitor arrangement screen did u set the big monitor as defualt? by dragging the menu bar to the bigger box in the arrangement panel?

Also, James I think Apple is pretty much assuming you can always get an extension cord.

I agree tho, big monitors are awesome and I love my dell 3008!
