2. Select Displays in the Hardware group. 3. Select Arrangement from the Tab option at the top of the window on the current primary display. The Arrangement option is only available on the primary display. Remember that the primary display is the one with the menu bar. 4. Drag the menu bar in the display illustration to the representation of the HP DreamColor LP2480zx. If you are unsure which monitor is which, click on the representation of one of the monitors and both the representation and the display image will show a red outline. 5. Close the Display system preferences window. Best Practice Recommendations As mentioned previously, the Mac OS has some of the best color management capabilities available for any operating system. But that doesn't mean that it can handle every scenario automatically. We'd like, therefore, to conclude this white paper with some general recommendations for the use of the HP DreamColor LP2480zx on a Mac. These recommendations cover three typical usage scenarios on the Macintosh and are not intended to cover every possible usage scenario. Certain scenarios, such as using the LP2480zx in a professional video workflow, are or will be covered in other white papers.  General computing: use the sRGB color space. As mentioned previously, most applications do not use color management and using a wide gamut color space for tasks such as web browsing, word processing, and so on will result in some images having incorrect colors and levels of saturation.  Web authoring: use the sRGB color space. Since the most web browsing applications do not perform color management, it is extremely important that web authors catch incorrectly-tagged images (for example, those tagged as AdobeRGB) prior to publication. Otherwise those images will appear incorrectly to those viewing the site with browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.  Photo editing: use the Full or AdobeRGB color space. All major photo editing applications support color management and using a wide gamut color space allows you to work with RAW images and support the extended gamut available with images acquired with high-end digital SLRs. Though AdobeRGB is a logical choice, the Full color space may be preferable as it allows display of colors outside that are outside of the AdobeRGB color space but included in the ProPhoto RGB color space.
