Hey all, had a question. i am using my imac, and i have two external monitors for editing. when i just hook up the one monitor, everything is cool, i have two different screens, but when i hook up the 3rd monitor, it mirrors the other monitor, so its basically working like i only have two up. how do i get the third one to "be on it's own." thanks so much..dt

As far as I know, the video card in the iMac only supports extended desktop on one screen, meaning the other would have to be mirrored. Sorry, it doesn't seem like there is any way to achieve what you are looking for with the current setup.
