Satellite L650: Is it possible to get higher resolution screen?

L650-1CH 15.6", 1366x768.
ATI HD5650 1GB
Hardware enthusiast, so please don't feel expected to dumb things down for me.
Is it possible to get a higher resolution screen than the stock one, or one with better colour / contrast?
I've always been annoyed at how washed out the stock screen on my Toshiba looked. Recently the screen cracked, so I figure now is the best time to look at options.
Google has given me very little information so far. I've checked up pricing on screen replacement, with the part being around 60 and the part + service averaging 120, but that most likely leaves me with the same or inferior screen quality.
I would hope to find something more suited to movies / games and in 1600x900 if possible.
Any pointers as to where I should begin my search?

Hi
> Is it possible to get a higher resolution screen than the stock one, or one with better colour / contrast?
Yes this should be possible since the graphic card should support higher resolution.
The notebook supports the 15.6" (HD) TFT display.
You need definitely the same size display.

  • Get higher resolutions for extended desktop

    We have a new iMac. We also have an older Apple Cinema HD display monitor that we're using with the iMac as an extended desktop. On the iMac, we're using 2560 x 1440 resolution; but the highest resolution we can get on the Cinema HD is only 1280 x 800. Does anyone know how we can get higher resolutions on our Cinema HD display monitor?

    I've been looking for a way to have the screen resolution change for different Apps too.  I can't find anything in Automator, but I hope there is a way..  Like you, I like my editing programs to be higher resolution and my finder, email and the rest to have a lower resolution.

  • Forum oddity, w.r.t high resolution screen.

    I started a thread on Windows/ Photoshop entitled "CS4 with a high resolution screen". People have replied to this, according to e-mail direct response. However, it is not on the list of forums, and neither does it appear on 'search'.
    To repeat: we have a high resolution HP LP 3065 screen, which supports up to 2560 x 1600 pixels. At this resolution, images are still less than print size, but CS4 is essentially unusable because the menu text and other icons do not scale. Does anyone know if it is possible to manage this silly interface to allow the user to see what they are doing? Is there even a visual disability option? Even MS Office 2000 - ten years old - allows "large icons".
    If not, I think this is another way in which CS4 is in fact worse than CS3, which (mostly) used the Windows UI and which was therefore considerably more flexible. The screen in question is supported by dual DVI connections to an Nvidia FX3700 card - a CUDA multiprocessor device optimised for 2D images and CAD - and an eight processor, 3 GHz machine. With all of this processor power, CS4 is still much slower than CS3 on a single processor laptop. The paint follows the pen by several centimetres, like early Photoshop on a pre-Pentium processor.

    I started this by saying that through an oddity of this forum software, my original thread had vanished from the list. Exactly the same thing happened to this one, which i had to find through searching the forum list. The previous one vanished completely. One appears to get a different list if one comes in via a direct URL or via support > Forums > windows: an .asp error, presumably, but Adobe please note.
    Someone asked why use a high res screen. If you work on a large image, you either operate at the pixel level - a plate on a table top if you are at 1020 x 768 and working with a 20 megapixel image - or you shrink the thing down to fit. In the latter case, each pixel that you see is, depending on the native image size, an average of a large number of adjacent pixels. In the case of a 24Meg image and the above screen size, each visible pixel is an average (or however Adobe calculate it) of a bit over 20 pixels from the native image. If you look at 2560 x 1600 you are still seeing a composite, but of a quarter fewer source pixels per point. If you look at the natve image as 'actual pixels', the 'dinner plate' is four time bigger in proportion to that of the SVGA image.
    That said, imagine the layers pallet in which one layer has, let's say, a football set against an group of players , P/shop users will expect to see a black blob representing its position in the layer. At high resolution, however, the blob is represented on the screen by a patch that is smaller than a full stop on a page of type, and essentially invisible from 150 cm from the screen. Thus: squint, lean forward, mutter angrily.
    Why can one not set the icons and the ephemeral facilities such as the layers pallet to be any size you want? It is really very silly.

  • Photoshop Font Sizes too Small on High Resolution Screen

    On my Toshiba Satellite P55T 4K the Photoshop fonts and tool menus are so small that they are very difficult to read.  I have set the UI fonts to the largest size, but they are still way too small. Is there a way to further increase the font and tool menu sizes?

    You must have a very high resolution screen, also called HiDpi.
    If you have Photoshop CC 2014, you can go to Edit > Preferences > Experimental Features and checkmark "Scale UI 200%"
    If you have CC, CS6, or below, there is no way to scale the UI as of yet. There may not be. These products are no longer being updated.
    At best I can recommend reducing the resolution down to around 1400 px horizontal. That's not the native resolution and defeats the purpose of having a Hidpi screen.
    So only thing left aside from returning the laptop, is to work with a large external monitor, or for $10/monthly, join the Photography Plan and you can use CC 2014 and the 200% UI.

  • How to make a high resolution screen capture?

    Hye,
    I'm trying to make high resolution screen captures in Maverics.
    On earlier systems, one could use Quartz Debug which had a slider that could alter resolution of the capture app.
    Now on Mavericks this option is gone, it only allows Retina-like screen resolution for non-retina macs, but on my 27" imac, images look really blurry...
    So any way to get the job done?

  • Resolution problems with Adobe Reader XI using high resolution screens?

    Hey,
    I am using the new Samsung Ativ Book 9 plus with a high resolution screen of 3200x1800 pixels. Unfortunately Adobe Reader XI shows menu bars in minimal sizes and I can't find any way to change this.
    Does anybody know if there is a solution for this problem? I don't wanna change the screen resolution just for using that software.

    Hello nordlicht.22
    1024x768 screen resolution is supported resolution for Adobe Reader XI.

  • Replacing MacBook Pro Screen with higher resolution screen?

    I bought a MacBook Pro 15" today which has the lower end screen resolution.  I originally wanted the higher resolution screen but the guys in the shop said they didn't sell them in the shops, only online, but since I wanted one before I headed off to France on Monday for two months, I decided to just go for the lower resolution, which I was told would show no real visible difference.
    My question is: if I wanted to, would I be able to upgrade the screen to the higher resolution screen at a later date should I decide I was sick of this resolution?  I've only just started the computer for the first time now really, but have noticed that text is not as crisp as it was on my old vaio, which is disappointing, but I'm hoping I'm just being slightly OCD and the comparison will fade in time.

    An independent repair shop wouldn't have access to order parts - so your only source is either an Apple Store or an AASP. If you want to try to DIY, you might be able to find the part at www.ifixit.com.

  • The font size in the menu bar is too small (unreadable). How can I increase font size. I have a new Samsung PC with high resolution screen.

    Hi the fnt size in the menu bar is too small (unreadable). How can I increase the font size. I have a new Samsung PC with high resolution screen.

    You must mean Photoshop Elements 11, not Photoshop.
    There is no ability to change the size of the menu font in PSE 11.
    note to mod:
    Please move to the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • I am curious to how or if i can change the tool sizes on my program because I have a high resolution screen and my icons are almost unreadable?

    I cant figure out if i can make my icons larger or not in this program. I have a high resolution screen and the objects are unreadable. Someone help me.

    What version of AI? What system?`Older versions simply don't support High-DPI displays and there is no way to change this...

  • Satellite P200D: How to get higher resolution with HDMI on external monitor

    Hi,
    i have problem with my notebook P200D. I want to use my book with extern LCD in resolution 1680x1050.
    In analog connection i have reached this resolution, but the quality of the output is bad.
    I see some waves on the screen of LCD. And colors are little bit different.
    Notebook has hdmi output too, so I have bought hdmi/dvi cabel, which is working, but i have reached only the resolution of 1200x1020.
    Cabel is signgle link, it exists dual link cabel, but i am not sure if this sloves my problem. I have read that the hdmi output in the Toshiba notebooks is only single link.
    So i cant reached higher resolution than 1200x1020... Is it true?

    Vlada I do not know what you mean with bad picture but if you can use the right resolution the picture must be simply brilliant. I am afraid you can not set the right resolution (1680 x 1050) and because of that you are not happy with analog connection.
    About HDMI usage I can just say that I have tried to connect Qosmio G30 to my HD Ready LCD TV. I have just switched to the TV using FN+F5 key combination, checked graphic card settings and set it to the center. The picture was perfect and I didnt change resolution.
    It is very interesting theme and I hope someone else will post own experiences.
    Bye and good luck!

  • Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

    Hi,
    I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
    I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
    Cheers,
    MacSlates

    The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
    The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
    Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

  • Possible to pull higher resolution single frames from movie?

    Hi.
    I am currently using iMovie HD 6. I am wondering if it is possible to pull a higher than 72 dpi frame for still picture purposes? Command "F" doesn't seem to give options for higher resolution.
    Would moving to Final Cut Express give more still picture options?
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thanks for any replies in advance.
    Thomas

    Images in video are defined by their pixel dimensions, for example -NTSC DV is 720x480 non square pixels - which is the square pixel equivalent of 640x480. It really doesn't matter if this is output at 72dpi or 300dpi as it is still 720x480. You get what the camera recorded - no more.
    If you need higher quality images (ie more pixels) take still images on the set. Even throw away point and shoot cameras will record an image with more pixels than any video format.
    good luck.

  • How to get higher resolution previews in HDR Pro

    I often make HDR images by exporting a bracket from lightroom into photoshop via right click>merge to HDR in photoshop.  When the dialog comes up it is always a very low resolution preview.  When I go to zoom in (cmd +) the resolution remains the same and I am zooming in on a pixelated image and the zoom is very limited.  I am working from D3s files so there is plenty of resolution but it just doesn't show up in the preview.  Is this simply the way it works or is there a way I can get a higher resolution preview.  I'm not worried about rendering times either as I'm on a 8 core with 16gb or ram.
    Thanks!

    Liter Cola-
    not sure if this is entirely what you want, but there are options in adjusting the preview for a 32bit HDR image. with a 32 bit image you can store the entire dynamic range of the HDR image:
    "32‑bit Exposure
    Option for adjusting the preview image for viewing 32‑bits-per-channel high dynamic range (HDR) images on your computer monitor. The slider is available only when the document window displays an HDR image."

  • How do I get high resolution on my jpg photo

    I have a photo in iphoto that I need to change to high resolution and email it.  HOw do I do that?

    You can not "change" an image to High Resolution - what ever resolution it was created at it the maximum resolution it can be
    the most general way to use the max is to select the photos in iPhoto and export it to the desktop using the highest resolution and quality settings (see the user tip on exporting for details on the options)  and email from there

  • Why am I am getting high resolution signals on any of my photos that I want to print  how do I remedy this problem so that I can print photos and also make a book

    How can I change my photos from high resolution to be able to print them or put them into a tabletop book?

    You're going to need to explain this a bit better
    What are "high resolution signals"? How are you printing? Why would you want to change your photos from high resolution for printing, they higher the resolution the better they will print.
