External Display is pixelated

After the 10.6.8 MacOS update, the external display via the Thunderbolt port is extremely pixelated. Everything looked great prior to this update and I have seen others complain about this too.
Anybody at Apple Support care to comment?

  • External displays with similar pixel density to 17" MBP display?

    I've got a 17" MacBook Pro, native resolution 1920x1200, which is quite high in terms of pixel density. I have a 24" external Samsung display, also 1920x1200, which means the pixel density is lower. It works fine, but (as you might expect), screen items increase in size rather noticeably when I drag from the laptop display to the external display. (The 24" LCD Apple Cinema Display is also 1920x1200, so the same thing would happen). I've been looking all over the place, and I can't seem to find an external display in the 20-24" range that has a resolution higher than 1920x1200. Ideally I'd like to find a display with the same amazing pixel density, so everything is the same size on both my laptop display and on the external display. I don't know what that would be--probably something like 2048x1152 on a 20" or 22", and 2560x1600 for a 24". Even Apple's 30" Cinema Display at 2560x1600 (or what I imagine will be the new 27" LCD coming out later this summer, probably at 2560x1600) would suffer from this problem, because while the resolution is great, the screen size is so large that the pixel density is lower and once again screen items would increase in size when moved from the laptop monitor to the external monitor. I don't really care about screen size or cost. I'd buy a 20" display, or a 30" display, at pretty much any price, if the pixel density were identical to my MacBook Pro. Anybody know where I can find something like this?

    The pixel densities of the 15" hi-res MBP at 1680 x 1050 and the 17" at 1920 x 1200 are really quite extreme — the 17" slightly more so than the 15". To read the "fine print" on those screens without a resolution-independent user interface (which the Mac OS doesn't yet offer), most users have to sit closer to those displays than they'd want to be to a 27" or 30" display, simply because for a viewer sitting that close to it, the bigger display would extend outward beyond the central field of sharply focused vision. One would constantly be leaning forward and back: in to read the menus or palettes and then out to see the whole screen. That would be pretty tiring. Thus I think it's quite unlikely that we'll ever see 30", 27" or maybe even 24" displays from Apple or anyone else at the same pixel density as the highest-resolution MBPs: 133.2 pixels per inch for the 17" and 128.6 for the 15", compared with 108.8 for the 27" iMac and 97.7 for the 30" Cinema Display). The current standard-resolution 15" MBP at 110.3 actually has a lower pixel density than the 13", at 113.5.
    Interestingly, the current 24" Apple LED-backlit display at 113.2 has almost exactly the same pixel density as the 13" MacBook Pro screen. For someone who wanted things to stay the same size when moving from screen to screen, that would be an ideal pairing. But the 13" MBP sure wouldn't be any match for the 17" in terms of screen real estate when each was being used as a stand-alone portable.

  • Disconnecting from external display changes background, disconnect server shares, inactivates desktop icons.

    I have a user working on a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X 10.8.2, connected to an external display. When disconnecting from the external display the background picture changes, he can’t open documents saved to desktop, and the connection to the server shares is lost.  Rebooting does not resolve the issue while it is disconnected from the external display.  If he reconnects the MacBook back to the external monitor sometimes he has to reboot to get everything back to normal.  It almost seems like it is logging him into a different account or profile or something like that (please excuse my messy terminology as most of our users are still using PCs).  However if you look at what account is logged in, it is still the same account that he logged in with that morning.  The Mac is not authenticating to the network, just connecting to server shares.  Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so is there a fix for it?

    The Mac has a long history of assuming that ANY adapter still present means the display is still present -- you need to remove the adapter as well as the cable, if present.
    So my theory articulated above is that the disconnect is not registered correctly. This would mean that the second display is still seen as present. You could check this by invoking:
    System Preferences > Displays ...
    and looking for the Arrange pane (shown above) which is ONLY present when multiple displays are attached. More detailed information can be found in About this Mac  > ( More info ) Graphics & Displays ...
    ... specifically the NAME of each attached display is shown or an indication (no display connected):

  • Conflicting information about external display resolution - please help!

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) with the non-reflective screen, Mini Display Port and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics processor.
    According to these technical specifications (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP544), the built-in NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics processor supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display.
    Armed with this information, I just purchased a shiny, new DELL U2711 (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&sku= 224-8284&redirect=1) external display which has a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Unfortunately, all I can get out of it is 1920 x 1080 (This is the maximum resolution I can select in the monitors system preferences panel.)
    So Apple tells me this graphics card supports 2560 x 1600, but I also contacted NVIDIA directly who told me that this particular card's maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080.
    Somebody has to be wrong. Is this monitor supported? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to send this monitor back and buy a smaller display?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    O

    Well - seeing as nobody could provide any help on this, I'll post the answer in case anybody else has the same problem.
    It turns out that the monitor's resolution IS supported by the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, so the information NVIDIA gave me was wrong.
    The issue was the adaptor.
    A regular Mini Display > DVI adaptor can only handle a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Turns out I needed a Mini Display > DUAL LINK DVI Adapter, which is a combination of USB and DVI which provides the required resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  • Win 8.1, Retina MBP, external display, stupid scaling

    I've got a Retina MacBook Pro (Late 2013) with a 2880x1800 display, also connected to an external 1920x1080 display, dual-booted into Windows 8.1 with the latest Boot Camp drivers and the most recent nVidia drivers.
    In Windows, when I go into the Display control panel and make "Change the size of all items" a little larger, then things look fine on the external display - but the laptop's display shows a teensy tiny taskbar and teensy tiny icons on the desktop.
    If I check "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays", then things look fine on the laptop's display - but the external display's windows and icons are HUGE.
    And either way, if I'm not running the laptop's display at Retina resolution - even if I'm running at exactly half resolution, 1440x900 - then the laptop's display is terribly blurry. Makes me want to go back to a pre-Retina laptop.
    What are the best Windows settings to have reasonably-sized windows and icons on the Retina display as well as the external display under Windows 8.1?
    (Yes, this is just another reminder that I shouldn't bother trying to run Windows on a Mac ... but I thought that handling multiple displays with different pixel densities was supposed to be Windows 8.1's strong suit?)

    Good point, but then it's a shame that not only can I not take advantage of the Retina resolution, but then the lower resolution setting makes the Retina display look terribly fuzzy. Even set to exactly half the resolution (2880x1800 -> 1440x900), it looks like WIndows is trying to fuzz everything instead of simply pixel-doubling it.
    I understand that's a shortcoming of the nVidia driver. I'll go find the nVidia board to complain...
    (I'm extending the desktop, btw, not mirroring.)

  • External Display Flickers (Intel on board)

    Hi,
    I have recently made a fresh installation of Arch Linux and trying to setup it for my work environment. I made a basic installation of xfce4 with slim login manager. I wanted to hook my laptop with an external display. I used xrandr to extend my laptop display with the external display. Everything worked fine but my external display flickers insanely bad. I cannot stare at it for > 30s. I dual boot on windows, so I tested the same setup with windows and it worked just fine, out of the box. I even used one of my friend's laptop who's running ubuntu and has the same h/w. It worked out of the box. I have spent more than 8 hours trying to find out where the issue would be and miserably failed. Below are certain logs and output that might help traingulate my issue.
    Its a Dell Inspiron N4030, with Intel onboard graphics. I have the xf86-video-intel driver installed and the display works perfectly fine with laptops default display.

    No one? I have the exact same problem. MSI x360 laptop, intel onboard graphics. I too use xrandr. I've seen elsewhere that windows users have solved this by turning off GPU overclocking. Maybe this can point us in the right direction?

  • External Display Flickering/Blanking out on Windows 8.1 Boot Camp

    OK, so I have a MBP 15" Mid-2012 model running the latest versions of Mavericks and all software and drivers on Windows are up-to-date. I am using my external display through an Active HDMI adapter for Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt (one that broadcasts audio as well as video).
    So, this adapter and image seems to work perfectly fine on the Mac side, however, when I flip the switch to Windows 8.1, the external display goes haywire and goes blank and flickers with occasional lines and static across the screen. Image comes back every few seconds and then will suddenly lose signal.
    I've been reading around the internet and I've seen that this could be a hardware issue in that Intel never put support for Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort on their chipsets for Windows, not a driver issue.
    How screwed am I? If not so screwed, what steps do I need to take to attain functionality of the external display while running Windows 8.1 through Boot Camp?
    Note: my Mac does not come with an HDMI port already installed like current Macs. This was the last high-end Macbook Pro to have an optical drive installed on it.

    From Tech specs for your machine MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) - Technical Specifications
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.3GHz configuration) or NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.6GHz configuration) and automatic graphics switching
    Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
    From the Intel downloads, there is a new driver for HD4000...
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3712
    It may be worth a test.
    From Nvidia website...
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77228/en-us
    On a later rMBP, I can connect three displays via TB at full resolution.
    One suggestion is to try a Display-miniDP cable, instead of a converted HDMI signal, if the monitor will accept a DP connection.
    If it works correctly on the Mac side, it would be a driver issue, since the hardware supports it with one OS, but not the other. The effects you describe indicates that some pins on the HDMI are not getting correct signals to maintain image refresh rates or pixel sync. When you use the current connection, does the Control Panel -> Displays detect the model and name correctly? If not, the EDID detection is failing.

  • I have an external display, but the screen ratio is messed up in games.

    I've got:
    - A new MacBook Pro 15" with Lion (a month old maybe), it's the 2.2 GHz one (with 8 GB RAM)
    - A Samsung Syncmaster BX2235 screen, working at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels
    - A VGA connector to plug the Syncmaster in to the laptop.
    My problem:
    When I normally use my laptop with my external display in Lion it supports 1920x1080 without a problem (see photo 1), when I watch a movie in full screen too, but as soon as I start up a game (any game: WoW, TF2, Worms, etc) in full screen and I set the resolution to 1920x1080 it'll mess up the screen (see photo 2). I'm not sure if you see it at first glimpse but there are black bars at both the left and the right side of the screen, the left one is bigger than the right one.
    Anyway in WoW there is a function that you can run the game in Windowed but still Full Screen. When I do that I can access the top OSX bar (the one with the clock), and click on the display icon. It now shows there are 2 versions of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (see photo 3). If I click the one that isn't checked, it'll fix the screen and I can view the game on this display exactly the way I want it.
    I had an older MacBook Pro (from 2009, 15", 2.8GHz Dual Core) running Snow Leopard, I played some of the same games on that and I NEVER had problems with this screen. I gave it to my sis so I tested it again and there are still no problems.
    Now naturally my question is: what is the problem and how can I fix it?

  • Resolution won't go above 800x600 on external display

    Hey all,
    I broke my iBook's screen (nasty drop), but everything else works fine. I finally got my VGA adapter from home and hooked it up to my Acer AL1916 LCD, only to find that the resolution refuses to go above 800x600!
    When I open Displays in System Preferences, I get two windows. The System Prefs window is labeled Acer AL1916 and only has options for 640x480 or 800x600. Another window spawns behind it, labeled VGA Display. This one goes well beyond what the iBook's GPU supports (up to 1600x1200). Changing this, even to a supported resolution such as 1024x768, has no effect on the external display.
    How can I get the external display to accept a higher resolution? Do I need drivers of some sort (Acer seems to have Windows drivers only on their site)? Having my only computer stuck at 800x600 is pretty atrocious, so please respond ASAP if you know anything about this.

    What font? Could be a pixel-based font that simply doesn't provide larger glyphs.

  • How tow connect two external displays that are not mirrored and turn of the retina display

    Hello,
    I have two questions:
    1.  Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?
    2.  Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?
    I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.
    Thank You,
    Breezinabout
    Macbook Pro  15" Retina display I7 2,3mz 500gb SSD late 2013  OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

    Hi Breezinabout,
    The MacBook Pro Late 2013 retina display model will support two external displays. See this specifications page for reference -
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) - Technical Specifications
    Specifically -
    Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors
    And -
    Thunderbolt digital video output
    Native Mini DisplayPort output
    DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
    Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    HDMI video output
    Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
    Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
    Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
    You would, if you wish, turn off the internal display by closing the MacBook Pro, which is called "closed-clamshell" mode. It requires you to have an external keyboard and mouse. See this article for further information -
    How to use your Mac notebook computer in closed-clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • External Displays & Kernal Panics

    Last year I twice had to get my logic board replaced after two slightly different "events."
    The first panic started with the green and purple pixeled screen and then suddenly was caught in a "panic loop."
    The second happened suddenly. The screen simply would start up, though the computer seemed to be running.
    I often use a 20" Apple Cinema Screen as an additional monitor and now I'm paranoid about connecting it up again, fearing that this may be my cause of kernel panics. This is not good though, cause I need that screen to be productive.
    Am I just paranoid or could this be causing problems?

    As the display acts as a hub, its USB or Firewire ports may be damaged and thus causing a kernel panic, or one of the peripherals you have attached through it doesn't have the appropriate drivers. If you used the Migration Assistant to migrate from a PowerPC Mac, some of the PowerPC drivers could have migrated over, and thus causing a kernel panic, as many drivers have to be rewritten for Intel compatibility. If not, try to isolate the problem down to the hardware test that came with the computer, possibly swapping RAM for higher quality RAM as my FAQ* explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
    And if neither of those fixes it, backup your data*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    And check to make sure the directory is OK*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    And if that doesn't help, then erase and install the operating system.
    If nothing but an Apple external display is hooked up, to the computer, and an erase and installed operating system is there, you can expect the display itself to be in need of repair, if that's the only thing that causes a kernel panic.

  • MACBOOK PRO - NO SIGNAL OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL DISPLAYS

    When connecting any external monitor I have an intermittent issue where it does send the signal to the external display - yet it shows the display's preferences in the Control Panel. Had an embarrassing moment at a presentation with an LCD projector. Have used severalo DVI adaptors. Any ideas? It works sometimes, sometimes it does not. When it works I cannot close the lid either without it turning off everything, which used to work fine.
    Any ideas?

    It's too bad you never received any help on this in the Forums, but was hoping you may have come across a solution in the last 2 years.
    I am not a techie, so my explanation will be crude, but sounds exactly like your issue above.  It's October 2013...I have a 2008 MacBook Pro.  Everyone tells me I can use the miniport to connect to my 2010 LG TV.  I purchased a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter from RadioShack (Gigaware brand).  I plugged the adaptor into my minport, plugged the HDMI cord into the adaptor, and plugged the other end of the HDMI cord into the LG TV (44").  In my display preference, the MacBook recognizes the TV.  However, there is virtually no picture...
    I get extreme fuzz/snow with colored pixels, with the background display flickering on every 30-45 seconds behind the fuzz (i.e. very grainy).  On one occassion, the display showed up perfectly for a nanosecond and went back to fuzz.  Common sense is telling me that the image is trying to be sent to the TV but the signal is not strong enough?  Or, the encoding is not fast enough? 
    Tried the following:
    Grabbed another HDMI cord in case it was the originally cord - no dice.
    Tried all 4 HDMI inputs on the TV - no dice.
    Myriad other non-technical things like moving the MBP around, jiggering with connections, etc.  Nothing.
    For purposes of meeting my needs, I ended up downloading the latest Apple TV software and ended up displaying my presentation via Airplay from my iPad.  But that solution drops a lot of the key attributes of my presentation (slide builds don't work, certain graphics missing, color is off, etc).  It worked sufficiently, but I was hoping for a more solid presentation solution.
    Thanks for listening!

  • External Display will not turn back on after sleep

    Just bought a new MBP last week and gave my wife the MB. I typically attach to an external 24" display and run in closed clamshell mode. I have been doing it for quite some time with no issues. Now with the new MBP if the energy saver kicks in and turns off the display, and/or the energy saver puts the computer to sleep when I attempt to wake it up the display flashes then goes blank. There is no way to turn it back on. When I open the clamshell the internal display will only show some random pixels and a white line at the top of the screen. There is no way to correct it unless I shut down the machine.
    I am running with the Nvidia card, not the internal Nvidia. If I manually put the computer to sleep it will wake normally with no screen issues. It will also not act up if the external display is not connected.
    Any help or suggestions of a setting I might have wrong that would cause this?

    It is a Gateway FHD2400. Connected from mini display to HDMI. My previous MB was connected to the same monitor for the last year with 0 issues. It was connected mini dvi to VGA.
    The issue is strange because it only happens when the computer turns off the screen or sleep. When I put it in sleep it doesn't happen.

  • MacBook & external displays

    I am looking at a system upgrade and am tempted by the new MacBook. However, it is not immediately evident whether (as per the MacBook Pro) you can use the MB with the lid shut and connected to an external (larger) keyboard and larger display. Does anyone know what the answer is?
    I would like to combine the portability of the MB with the ability to hook it up to a larger VGA/DVI screen. Any views on the merits of the more expensive DVI monitors?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can respond to these questions.
    iMac DV 400   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Hello
    Glad to help.
    First up, if you take a look at the main specification page, it confirms the MacBook will drive an external display, either as the main display (with MacBook closed) or as an extended display (with MacBook open).
    It will work at these resolutions:
    Extended desktop and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 1920 x 1200 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colours.
    You will need to also purchase a Mini DVI-DVI cable or a Mini DVI-VGA cable depending on what external monitor you plan to use.
    I have tried a lot of monitors;
    Apple Cinema - superb, but you pay for it.
    NEC 20WGX2 - looks nice, horrible display.
    CTX - I forget the model number, but nice.
    Belinea 10 20 35W - absolutely superb and stunning value.

  • External display scrolling causing loss of color

    I've started running my MacBook Pro with an external display and this strange bug with scrolling has started coming up: After running for a while, a single-app will start to desaturate windows when they scroll. I've seen it happen in the Finder, Safari and Xcode.
    Only the part of the window that has scrolled will lose color (the color actually fades as it scrolls) -- anything new scrolling into the window is bright and colorful when it first appears, then it loses color too. This ONLY happens when scrolling.
    The display is a Samsung 226BW on my Leopard 10.5.1 running original MacBook Pro. (The original Core Duo MBP.) I'm using DVI-D to hook it up. I'm usually running the external monitor by itself (with the MBP lid closed to deactivate the internal display).
    Quitting the app and restarting seems to fix it, but this is a big hassle for obvious reasons (especially when the app is the Finder ;P)
    And here I was thanking my lucky stars that I haven't had quick user switching kill my display calibration anymore on Leopard =)
    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    I'm having a similar problem.
    MDD G4, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro connected to a FujitsuSiemens Scaleoview 24".
    In Safari for example the screen brightness reduces suddenly whilst scrolling, but literally from one pixel to the next! If I scroll back one pixel it brightens again. A similar thing can happen simply by going from one tab to another.
    In the finder it can happen when the dock appears or by simply calling up certain windows. Restarting the finder seems to cure it for a while.
    I'm starting to think that it maybe has something to do with Core Image/Quartz Extreme because it only seems to occur in Apple apps (Finder, Mail, Safari, etc).
    I've tried all of the Monitor, Energy Saver, etc etc settings but to no avail - similarly, any ideas would be much appreciated!
