Hi,

I've noticed something weird since I recently purchased a Acer monitor. When I use the monitor with my 2010 MBP closed, I get .5 mbps download (according to speedtest.net). With MBP by itself, I get over 15 mbps. With using dual display both MBP and monitor on, I get 4-8 mbps. Is there anyway to fix this problem (I want to be able to use my monitor without opening my MBP)?

I'm also using a 3rd party Dynex minidisplay port -> DVI adapter that I purchased from BestBuy. Would getting an Apple one solve the problem?

Thanks!
