How to Use Dual Monitors on Mac OS X

I just set up a second monitor to give me some extra screen real estate, and I’m in awe of how easy it was to setup.

Step 1: Plug it into back of iMac.

Step 2: Turn it on.

Step 3: There is no step 3.

I don’t care if you think Windows is the best thing since virus protection plans, but you just have to admit: Macs “just work.” I didn’t have to worry about drivers or installing new firmware. I literally just plugged my second monitor into the back of my main monitor. That’s it. It’s truly a thing of beauty.

   Let me preface my post by saying that I’m typing it from a Mac. I love it, and think that the 13-inch Macbook Pro is the greatest computer on the face of this planet.

   But yeah, Macs just work. But what if you’ve got a Macbook? You can’t just plug in a second screen, you’ve got to head out to the store and buy a MiniDisplayPort adapter.

   And if Macs “Just worked” then there wouldn’t be any tech support forums.
