I am aware of the Cintiq 13HD model; however, will I be able to use this as a second screen for another computer? I have a Mac with CS6.

the companion hybrid can be used as a second monitor with a mac. the windows companion can not.

The Cintique is like having a 2nd monitor and a tablet connected to your computer. So, there is no reason to need another computer. Your graphics card does need to support two monitors, but almost all do now.

I use this as an external monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with DVI. The monitor comes with a DVI-HDMI adapter cable which will allow you to plug it right into your computer. Unless of course, you have the new Mini with HDMI, then its easy. This is a beautiful monitor with an exceptional picture.

If your cintiq does not have a touch function, it is fine to use this screen protector. I have it on my 13HD and it does not degrade performance.

Should, I use mine in landscape mode (21 inch HD monitors) with my macbook pro closed. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the system or not, but my 2 monitors share the same desk top , but I resize my open Docs to fit each screen, and you have to click on a doc to make it live.

The product ships with a disk containing the drivers I needed. However, I use a PC. Everything, including multiscreen functions, worked flawlessly and I believe that additional drivers were available for Mac users. (I don't have the disk to check at my current location.) Sorry I can't be more specific about your OS.

For static images, it should work fine. For animated or video content, you might see some artifacts. The more of these you plug into one computer, the more likely you will be to notice a slow down. I've used two of these and two HDMI for a total of four displays all at once with no issues. I've also used multiple display video cards that support up to four displays natively each, and for the money, these were FAR easier to set up and use.

No, there aren't any compatibility problems with Mac interface with BenQ monitors. I use the XL2720T with my Macbook Air via D-sub and was able to mirror the display with no problem. I also used the same connection to extend the display with no problem either.

I use this to project from a Mac. The split goes to another desktop monitor and to a projector. It has worked well for us. No problem to report. The only detail is that EVERYTiME we turn on the Mac we have to unplug and re-plug in the monitor jack going into the Mac so it will recognize the monitors.

This is only meant to mirror the picture between two displays. It will not create a second workspace or extension of your current monitor. This is meant for creating two monitors with the same picture. If you are looking to work with two monitors at the same time with different programs open on each of them. You will need either a video card with two outputs on it or two separate video cards. Does this make sense?

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

The first tablet was probably a Wacom of some kind, my guess is one of the Intuos professional models. The large tablet monitor you saw was a Wacom Cintiq. Be aware that Cintiqs cost thousands of dollars, and are usually only worth it if you are actively making a living in a field such as concept art, matte painting, etc. You can do everything with a regular tablet that you can with a Cintiq minus draw on the actual screen, so it's really more of a convenience than a necessity. Still, in college I had access to a lab full of Cintiqs 24/7 for four years, and they truly are awesome to use. Maybe if I ever have large amounts of disposable income...

I can't speak for everyone, but I know many users are Mac-savvy and the companion only comes with Windows. The hybrid can work with existing Mac and Linux machines (or an existing Windows machine that's built more powerful than the companion) as a regular Cintiq 13HD, but pull it out and you can use it with Android software. A Linux distro can be installed on the Windows 8 companion alongside Windows or replace Windows entirely, but adjusting Wacom settings in Linux has always been a pain for me, especially to disable its super sensitive touch, so I never bothered trying. I'm sure some Linux forums are talking about it, though. They can answer more questions about that.

Yes, I have tried this on an older mac mini with Snow Leopard and a newer mac mini with Maverick. There are different drivers at www.displaylink.com for the two operating systems and each installed without problems and were quick to set up through the Display option of System Preferences. On the mac, you can set the desktop backgrounds to be different, which is not an obvious option on Microsoft Windows (I plan to check if it is possible). The highest resolution monitor I have used as 2nd display is 1280x1024; the specs say that it will work up to 2048x1152.

This current model has to connect to PC/Mac with USB-HDMI ports. There are Wacom models similar to tablets available either on Amazon / Wacom website. Hope this helps.

The difference between these products is this is the one you want. They both work as a smaller cintiq plugged into your computer but the 13HD came out before, and can not work independently as a mobile sketching tool. Also, there are some things about the functionality that people with the 13HD have complained about regarding the looseness of the cable which links to the monitor which can cause the screen to go black as you shift around while drawing. I should also note that if you go to the wacom store like I did, this product starts at 1200, with free shipping. So after taxes was about 1400, only about 400 more than the 13HD.

It sounds like you can use this projector with mac computers. Is that correct? Do I need any other equipment or cables?Thank you.
