My old MacBook Pro had no problems running three external monitors. My new MacBook Pro Retina is easily able to do the same and should be able to do more, if I wanted. Here are the details of my setup. I’m using three Dell monitors. My center one is a widescreen running 2560×1440, and the two [...]
I recently upgraded my main external monitor to a new 27″ Dell display. All set to enjoy the high resolution glory of 2560×1140, I was perplexed. Why couldn’t I push the screen this high, using my MacBook Pro? The answer eventually turned out to be that the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter that Apple sells [...]
After nearly two years of leaving my desktop and a 3 monitor setup behind, I’m back to 3 monitors + 1, four screens in total, all running from my MacBook Pro. My My Multimonitor Setup: Three Screens For One Computer post explains how I used to run three monitors from my Windows XP desktop. When [...]
With my desktop out of action, I’m currently on my new MacBook Pro as I’ve written, making use of its internal screen to run things on the Mac side and one of my external screens to run Windows apps. It annoys me that my two other monitors as you can see in the picture above [...]

Today, I came across an awesome gallery of other multiple monitors in action. Ultramon hosts the gallery here. I just added my own setup, as you’ll find here. You [...]
Now here’s a different multimonitor setup — one hooked up to an exercise treadmill. The Threadputer, as it’s called, looks pretty cool. Venture capitalist Brad Feld says he can work well on it even when running. It did get me thinking about doing the same, but I do a lot of typing. Feld does have [...]
My old house was made of cob, which is like a British adobe. The walls were made of chalk, mud, horse hair and the odd bit of horse poo. You don’t hang heavy things off a cob wall without a lot of thought. In my new house, it’s good old brick, which got me to [...]
Ashley Friedlein over at E-consultancy saw the whole "I’ve got three monitors; Bill Gates has three monitors" thing and raises the odds. His company gets people onto nine monitors as quickly as possible, he writes. Plus he even has a picture:
Blog readers know I’m a multimonitor fan. Two screens aren’t enough for me – three is the magic number, as I’ve written in My Multimonitor Setup: Three Screens For One Computer. I’m not alone. Apparently, Bill Gates thinks three is the way to go as well, as he writes in Fortune today:
