I just got the 20 in matt apple cinema display, & want to use it with my i7 15 in 2010 macbook pro, will probably use it with the laptop open so I wont be using clamshell mode.
are there any settings that I need to adjust to set it up?
also, I just read another thread about someone's 2011 macbook only working with an external display with the discrete graphics card running?
is this what I will have to do with mine? mine has Intel integrated, & a nividia graphics card. I use gfx card status to monitor it & have automatic switching on right now. Will my mac be able to run the monitor with the integrated graphics? if I have to use the nividia will it raise my temps & wear out my mac & the nividia card faster?
