All display preferences on Mac OSX are accessed from "Displays" in the hardware area of System Preferences. After connecting your monitor, this window is usually automatically opened.

If not, open System Preferences and choose Displays:

 

 

After choosing the appropriate resolution for each of your displays in the Display Tab, set your additional display to the extended desktop/dual view mode:

• Click on the Arrangement tab
• Uncheck Mirror Displays

 

 

If you find that the window arrangement is backwards, (Your desktop is displayed on your secondary display) drag and drop the small menu bar onto the top of the other window (indicated above by the red arrow).

 

Troubleshooting

If your display is not detected:

• Go to Display preferences
• Recheck your monitor connections and power supply
• Click the Detect Displays button to detect your monitor
