For example take Firefox to one monitor and hit F11 and you’re in full screen (ie: kiosk mode) while the other monitor(s) remain fully available, you can even have another instance of Firefox on another monitor and make it full-screen on that monitor.ĭon’t get me wrong, this is not about which OS is better – only that in my view Apple is wrong if “Fullscreen mode tells OS X to that you only want to focus on this app right now and ignore everything else.” That may be what Apple is doing – or thinks users should be doing – but I want to be able to go full-screen on one monitor and still be able to focus on other things in other monitors.

In that other operating system, what’s it called, oh yes, Windows 7, you can make an app full screen on one monitor and the other monitor(s) remain available for whatever use – even another full-screen. Aria mentions that this is what Gnome and KDE so. I am not 100% certain what you mean, but I can say that in other operating systems you can make an app “full-screen” and it will go full screen on that monitor and leave the other monitors alone and available for any other uses. You seem to indicate about this full-screen app behaviour “That’s the way it works on any multi-monitor use in full screen mode”. But I have not seen Mountain Lion so can only relate rumours. For example, I might want to use one of the remaining monitors to have another Full-Screen App on it in full screen (ie: Safari full-screen on one monitor, Quick TIme full screen on another), while leaving the remaining monitors for “normal” use.īy the way, when you make an app go full-screen, does it do so on the monitor where you have it or does it go to the primary display? Apparently Mountain Lion will let full screen apps go full-screen on the display where they are BUT still the remaining monitors become useless.

What do I want to see? Well, simply put, I want the “Full-Screen App” go full screen on the monitor the application is on while leaving the other monitors untouched and available for whatever use I want to put them to – “normal” windows or full-screen app windows. Personally I find this behaviour to be exceedingly BAD and poorly designed (and I don’t think I am alone in this opinion). If you want to keep all cables on the same side, go for the former option.I gather that you are CONFIRMING that making a “Full-Screen App” go full screen DOES in fact render the other three monitors blank (ie: the grey linen background) and therefore you can do NOTHING with the other monitors.

So you can either use two MiniDP to HDMI adapters/cables, or one MiniDP to HDMI adapter/cable plus one regular HDMI cable. Fortunately, Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapters/cables aren't difficult to find.

But if it matches the ports available on the MBP, or if you decide that a dock isn't practical and therefore connect everything straight to your system, then both the 13" and 15" mid-2014 MBPs have 2x Mini-DisplayPort and 1x HDMI output available.

In terms of cables, if you get a dock, it would depend on the outputs available on the dock. The Dell D6000 is one such dock, but take a look at the many drawbacks of DisplayLink that I wrote about in the post marked as the answer in this thread. The only other option would be docks that use "indirect display" technology called DisplayLink - not to be confused with DisplayPort - but that comes with some drawbacks, and it wouldn't provide power to your system. The problem is that you might find it difficult to find docks designed for the mid-2014 MBP's port layout now that we're here in 2021. Your only dock options would be docks that either glom onto the entire left edge of your system to plug into multiple ports, or operate as vertical stands where you drop the left edge of your laptop into them. But since your system predates USB-C/Thundebolt 3, you don't have an option for "regular" docking stations. The 13" and 15" have different specs, and sometimes those differences matter. Fyi you should always also specify the size of your MacBook Pro too.
