No Scaling Options for my Dell WQHD Display

Why this online community actually for? this is run by apple??? Most of the questions not answered.
My problem.
My Dell WQHD monitor connected using MDP to DP cable and works fine  but Two problems.
1) I cannot scale things up just like my macbook pro do. only option to decrease resolution.
2) cannot control Audio, no option to increase or decrease volume.

I have solved the problem by purchasing a Dell S2209W display. It is an HD monitor and seems to be working fine with no eye strain. Of course, it is not as nice as my 23" Apple display, but at $239 it is perfectly adequate for use as a second display. I still don't know why I had problems with the Samsung, but I am happy for now.

  • I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays.

    Recently updated to 10.9 - have all updates installed - Mid 2010 iMac 21.5.
    I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays. - After overnight shutdown, my iMac woke up and the screen resolution of my 2nd was set at 800 x 600 - the display a Samsung S22B150 was previously working properly at 1920 x 1080.  This option is no longer available in the system preferences - highest resolution available 1600 x 1200.
    I use my mMac for Photography and use the second monitor for the interface, leaving the iMac screen as a full work area for the photos.
    I have tried:
    Power down Monitor & restart
    Shutdown & restart
    Shutdown & restart in Safe Boot Mode (options same in Prefs)
    Power down Monitor & restart in Safe Boot Mode
    Ran Disc Utility - Repaired Permissions, verified both HDD & Mac OSX
    Udated Pram
    I am now at a loss, I guess I could try a recovery, and download/install  Mavericks again, but do not wish to do this if I can help it.
    I have searched the net to see if there are any Terminal commands to enable the resolution, but can find nothing.
    Anyone out there have any ideas, please.

    Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.preference.displays2". There may be several such files. Move them to the Trash.
    Test.

  • No Scaling Option for Dell WQHD IPS Monitor

    I have a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM which have a Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz .
    I used MDP to DP cable ant my new macbook pro retina is driving it @Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz just fine.
    My RMBP's "Colour LCD" is scaling perfectly. but my U2713HM have no scaling options like RMBP screen.
    I can Downgrade resolution to 1080p or something other than that there is no option.
    I see some videos on youtube that OS X support 4k display with same scaling options on my RMBP display.
    On my U2713HM  native resolution looks good but difficult to browse Facebook etc.
    it is too small. if i downscale resolution it is not as good as 2560 x 1440.
    How to solve this problem?
    This is my first mac

    Hi Rich,
    Normally I wouldn't recommend cross-posting, but if this isn't a MBP hardware issue, there is also a Windows Compatibility forum you may want to post in. Good luck.

  • Options for second Mac Pro display

    I have been looking for a second display for my Mac Pro. Since it won't be used all of the time I don't want to spend the money for the Apple display. I recently tried a Samsung T240 24" HD monitor but had to return it because it caused severe eye strain. I can use the 23" Apple display all day long with no problem, but an hour with the Samsung caused eye strain no matter what combination I set for brightness, contrast, etc. The "Apple Expert" at Best Buy claimed that it was because the graphics card doesn't support high definition, but his answers to some other questions didn't impress me. Will I have problems with any HD monitor, or was it this particular Samsung? Any suggestions?

  • 150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

    I'd been trying to get some feedback from the guys at Adobe regarding this, but seems like no one has seen or heard this pleas. I'm currently using a Surface Pro 3 to work on Photoshop, and while I really appreciate the fact that Adobe introduced the 200% scaling option, it's really too big to do anything productively. It's definitely usable, but is it the best scaling? I would really hope 150% scaling option to be added as well. So we could toggle between it base on our preference.
    What do you guys think?

    ++
    Also need the same feature. 200% is too big, 100% is too small.
    And more than that, I don't see why Photoshop wouldn't follow the applied OS (Windows 8.1) UI Scaling setting like all other apps do...

  • Widgets? - best option for recruiting company to display various 'current positions vacant'?

    Which is the best widget in MUSE for a recruiting company looking to LIST vacant positions?  So a LIST of all the current positions then when you click on individual position titles, all the text info comes up about the role and perhaps even company logos and other industry images for that role??  Cheers for any help.

    Hi,
    You can use a composition widget for this purpose. And if you want a compact one which can expand when clicked on it, then you can use the accordian widget under panels in the widget library.
    Perhaps, if you could share a screenshot or a link to a website which has such a list , then it would be easy for us to help you with the most suitable widget for this purpose.
    Hope this helps

  • Options for new MacBook Pro 17"

    I am considering upgrading to the new MacBook Pro. However, I hate the standard look and feel of the system compared to my current (all aluminum) MBP. In comparison, the system looks cheap and tacky.
    Worse, the black glass monitor has so much glare in a side-by-side comparison to my current display, that it can be an eye strain to use. Can that glass front-plate be removed or an older style display be ordered?
    The black keyboard also has a horrid cheap keyboard feel compared to my current MBP keyboard. Can the black plastic keys be replaced with the older style aluminum keys?
    I really like the power and battery of the new system, but Apple appears to have -- for the first time in years -- taken a major step backwards in the usability and human factors of this new system compared to the one previous MBP model. I am greatly disappointed and VERY torn as to whether I should spend my money to get a more powerful, but much less usable system. If I could replace the display and keyboard with the older style, the upgrade would be a no-brainer.
    So, are there any options available as to style of display and keyboard?
    THANKS!
    Jon K

    ' Whew! ... Er... Okay... Let me address your two primary and more specific concerns first:
    ' Regarding the screen: You're in luck - there is a Built-to-Order option for an "anti-glare" display which essentially gives you basically the same panel as the standard model, but ends up looking almost IDENTICAL to the previous (older) model aesthetically. In other words you get the aluminium bevel, no glass panel in front, and a matte-screen.
    ' The keyboard is another matter... As another poster mentioned there is no possible way for that to be changed due to the manner of construction. It is, however, really a non-issue to almost everyone that's spent some time with it! I've worked on the previous model's keyboard and honestly the newer keyboard is far more responsive and better for touch-typing die to the key-seperation etc. etc. Additionally, while it may take time to acclimatise, I honestly believe you'll come to prefer it aesthetically as well - the contrast to the rest of the box - all the aluminium - is quite pleasant! Methinks this is just a case of you being used to the system you've been using and struggling with the different look.
    ' Now... Moving on... I have to ask whether or not you've actually spent any time working with the new systems...? Honestly, while the older models were sturdy and had good build-quality etc. I genuinly feel that you can't compare the two - the Unibody MBPs are a cut-above - and one can feel it almost immediately once you actually work with them - opening and closing the clamshell, moving the system about, typing, adding and removing peripherals - the quality and sturdiness of these systems is unrivaled!
    ' Seriously - unless you have some strange attachment to the old Firewire 400 port (and assuming you get the anti-glare option considering your comments) - I cannot see you possibly being dissapointed with the Unibody 17-incher once you acclimatise!!!
    ' Anyways. My thoughts - given by an EXTREMELY picky person with ridiculously high standards.
    ' Looking forward to hearing back from ya!

  • Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

    Hello.
    I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So  like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.

    You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.

  • Need 'What You Hear' recording option for Notebook(Vista)-Does Xi-Fi for Notebooks provide th

    Hi,
    I have an Audigy sound card on a Dell desktop and it has the "What You Hear" recording option within Vista. I need the same option for my Dell Notebook, unfortuntately, this notebook uses a Sigmatel card within the motherboard. What device or application to i need to buy in order to get the "What you Hear" recording option to be available?
    What am i attempting to do?I often record li've webcasts in which the video portion comes through a Li've Meeting or Lotus Same time application using a Screen Recording Application?BUT the Audio comes from a conference which i use a VoIP software to dial into. I need to be able to record the sound that's been generated through my computer as an internal source. I need to be able to select 'What You Hear' as the default recording device so that the screen recording application i use can also record the audio been played through the PC?Appreciate any help here. Thanks?Kevin

    If it'sis not a Creative card, "what u hear" will be called something different. Maybe "stereo mix" or something else. The device just records anything coming from the soundcard. Play around and see if you don't have something similar to "what u hear" with a different name.

  • Are the new displays for MacBooks only - Options for a Mac Pro User?

    I am currently running 23 inch displays in our small design studio (4 workstations). I need a new or a second display for my own Mac Pro. I hate the new 24 inch display. I cannot imagine running Final Cut Studio on this glossy screen. So is anyone else out there in this situation? Looking for other choices? I want to stay in the Apple line up if possible but now I am even looking at Dells, as I feel Apple will only continue with the glossy screens.
    Are any pro-users in video or photography using the new 24 inch displays? and I mean users who do this for a living. Thanks everyone?

    Hello!
    Sorry it took a while to notice your post. There are two options for your mac pro to use the new 24 inch cinema display. The ATI Radeon 4870 HD has the mini-display port on it, and the Nvidia GT120 also is an option. Personally, I'd go with the 4870 as its a much better graphics card.
    You can find them on the Apple store's site under DISPLAYS/Graphics
    Hope this helps.
    Now, just to clear something up. If you have a 2008 mac pro, you can run the GT120 if you prefer.

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Is there a key on the MacBook Pro to toggle display options for a projector

    I have had some difficulty getting my InFocus projector to consistently work correctly with my MacBook Pro. Is there a key on the MacBook Pro that toggles the options for projector display? There was one on my last MacBook and my previous PowerBook.
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    No, there is no longer a key to control external display modes (it's F7 on my 1st gen MBP, but the option was removed along with the embedded numeric keypad in the Early 2008 models). There's not a substitute keyboard shortcut (with the exception of installing a macro player like Keyboard Maestro). Your main option is System Preferences > Displays (as stated, ticking the box to show Displays in the menu bar provides a helpful shortcut).

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences
