Widescreen Displays

I am planning on buying a Mac Mini Intel Core Solo cpu, and purchasing with it one of the following monitors from NewEgg.

I believe they all have 1400x900 display resolutions and connect with a VGA port. (I'm not certain at the moment).
Will these monitors work with the Mac Mini, and will it look right (not stretched out on the desktop or in Front Row)
Thank you,

I have recently found a few monitors from Dell, as you had mentioned. The one I am looking at is the Dell UltraSharp 1707FP. It states under specs that it has:
Interface: DVI, VGA (HD-15)
Max Resolution: 1280 x 1024
I believe that means it should work well with the Mac Mini.
Is this correct? here's the link:

  • Optional glossy widescreen display

    re: optional glossy widescreen display.
    I have my new MacBook Pro and ordered the optional glossy widescreen display. But how do I know this computer actually has the optional glossy widescreen display?

    You'll be able to tell just by looking at the screen. If it has a mirror finish, then it's glossy.

  • Samsung Widescreen Display

    I thinking about getting a Mac mini and I'm wondering if it would be compatible with my Samsund 940BW 19" widescreen display. I beleive the native resolution on the display is 1440x900. I'm currently using the monitor connected as second disply for my iBook and the resolution is good, but I'm wonering if it would be even better coneected to a mini. Thanks.

    Hi...!
    Most people here are wrong about your iBook not getting any better resolution than 1024x768.
    You can surpass that with the help of the "Screen Spanning Doctor" for iBook.
    Just google for those words and you will have the possibility to use resolutions up to .. a lot!
    I used my Samsung 226BW 22"-display and had 1680x1050-resolution with good performance.
    But I sold my iBook and bought a Mac mini with Core Duo and I'm very satisfied with performance and graphics... I love the DVI-quality.

  • 17inch widescreen display VS 17inch high resolution display

    Whats the major difference between the 17 inch matte widescreen display and the 17 inch matte high resolution display?

    The standard 17 inch display is of a resolution of 1680x1050 and uses a fluorescent backlight. The high resolution display has a resolution of 1920x1200 and uses LEDs for the backlight. From a practical perspective, the high resolution display holds more on it (granted, it is all a little smaller), is slightly crisper, and has the LEDs, which will make the display a bit less power hungry, giving you better battery life.
    Personally, I love having the 15 inch LED screen and would go for it on the 17 inch as well.

  • Widescreen display options

    I'm in the middle of purchasing a Macbook Pro and I'm not sure whether to stick with the glossy or go with the hi res gloss or hi res antiglare. Whats the benefit of one over the other? Is the antiglare worth the extra cost? What makes it so much better than the glossy?
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display [Add $90.00]
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display [Add $135.00]

    It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it. There have been some very long threads discussing the pros and cons of each kind. Some people cannot stand the reflections of a glossy display. Others feel that the antiglare display colors are more true to life. Personally, I prefer the anti-glare over the glossy, as reflections do bother me. People doing photography also often prefer the anti-glare option. You might want to do a Google search of "macbook pro glossy vs. matte" for a read on the subject.
    Good luck!

  • Macbook connected to a 15" TV gives a widescreen display...

    I just purchased a mini-DVI to video adapter for my Macbook. I have connected to it to a good-but-not-great TV, a Panasonic 15-inch TV, about three years old. It is not HDTV, it is not widescreen. Nothing fancy. Just a normal TV with audio/video inputs.
    Anyway, it works and everything, and the Macbook seems to auto-adjust itself when it senses the adapter plugged into it, however, the output on the TV is still widescreen. On the Macbook display, widescreen is fine, but on the TV, widescreen display means that I have scroll all the way to the right to see everything horizontally.
    How can I make the Macbook display in 4:3 on my TV so that I don't have to scroll to the right to see everything?

    Look under preferences at your display settings. You should have a separate control window for each display. Try changing the resolution for the external display/TV.

  • I would like to know why Apple doesn't have Glossy Widescreen Display on MacBook Air

    MacBook Air looks like a "vintage" laptop with that horrible screen frame.

    Apple may consider your suggestion if you suggest it to Apple directly.

  • MacBook Pro 15-inch with Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display in retail store?

    Hello everyone!
    I wondered can I buy MacBook Pro 15-inch with Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display in the retail store or I can buy it only in the online store?
    Best

    I'd simply call the nearest Apple retail store and ask. Folks here are end-users like you so, unless one of us had actually seen that variation in a store, we would not know what Apple's inventory policy looks like.

    Thanks! but there is a problem, I'm Italian and I live near Milan, and certainly I find it hard to send my mac. An Apple Store will not do this type of intervention?

  • SPM30: different resolutions at my widescreen display

    On my satellite pro M30 there are only 3 resolutions available for the nvidia geforce fx Go5200 driver- 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x800. Only the 1280 x 800 gives an undistorted view on the lcd 15.4 inch built in widescreen display. Other resolutions just show things with the width stretched sideways. The 1280x800 is uncomfortably small for me to view. Shouldn't there be a driver that gives proper widescreen at lower resolution e.g. something like 850 x 600.
    The driver I have installed is 4.5.6.2 dated 24/09/2003 and I can't find anything newer on the download site.
    Any help is welcomed, thanks, Chris

    Hello Chris,
    I don't think that it is possible to get more resolutions because your TFT panel only supports these three modes!
    You have to differ between TFTs and CRT Monitors! They have different technologies and features.
    Sorry! But you can use an old CRT at your desk and choose such a small resolution! ;-)

  • How to be sure I have hi-res glossy LED widescreen display that I ordered.

    Hi,
    when I ordered it, I wanted to get custom screen.
    on the order for screen is written:
    17-inch Hi-Resolution Glossy LED Widescreen display
    but on Macbook pro:
    When I go to system info:
    under graphics/display
    display:
    color LCD
    Display type: LCD
    Resolution: 1920 x 1200
    Depth: 32-bit color
    Built-in: yes
    core image: hardware accelerated
    etc. etc.
    So this is confusing for me, nowhere is written hi-res Glossy LED widescreen display
    When I turn macbook pro off, I can see my reflection on the screen.
    BUT: if you go to apple store: you have four choices two with regular screen ( one reg , one glossy ) and two for hi-res LED ( one reg, one glossy )
    I am really sorry to bother you with this thing, but any help would be great.
    Apple wants me to send it back and I am not too much crazy about it. So I would like to be sure before I go through this hassle.
    Regards

    Welcome to the Forums!
    LCD is the display type. LED is the backlight (versus cold cathode fluorescent lamp, CCFL). So, your profile will show LCD no matter what (i.e. you have an LCD display backlit by an LED light). LED's are "instant-on", CCFL's need to warm up a bit, so that's one way to tell them apart. But, if you have a new 17" high res, it's LED-backlit.
    1920 x 1200 is the high-res (the standard res is 1680x1050).
    Glossy vs. matte doesn't show up in the profile either - it's just a coating. You can tell glossy by looking for reflections with the display off - if there's reflection, it's glossy, if there are only muted, diffuse reflections or none (depending on lighting conditions), it's matte. (Mine is matte; with the display off, I can only see a fuzzy, diffuse shadow of myself, not a reflection.)
    So, overall it certainly sounds like you got what you ordered.
    Hope this helps...

  • How much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

    how much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

    A lot depends on if you are having Apple do the replacement or an authorized repair or another source.  The Apple prices seem to run in the neighborhood of $500, some have posted prices as low as $200 from un-authorized sources.
    Check with an Apple store or authorized service first so you have a reference point...and be sure to take into consideration the confidence you feel in the repair facility, you often get what you pay for.

  • MAC MINI WIDESCREEN DISPLAY

    I've got a mac mini connected to my Samsung Widescreen TV. The display is in standard 4:3 ratio and I'd like it to be wide screen 16:9. I can strech the display through the TV controls, but this is just stretching the picture rather than changing the ratio.
    I've tried changing the resolution but this doesn't change the ratio - can you help?
    MAC MINI   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have the same issue.
    I've found another forum post at http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6690&highlight=widescreen, describing pretty much the same situation, and a nightmare using displayconfigx that eventually caused havoc with his display adaptor.
    I'm running a Dual Core Intel MacMini with a DVI to VGA output, running to a plasma display running at 1024x768. The display doesn't have DVI or HDMI - only Component, Composite, S-Video and my preferred option: VGA.
    Interestingly, when I plugged the same display into a Dual Core PowerPC G5 Tower, I had two display options, of 1024x786 and 1027x576, although the display couldn't sync to the 1027x576 signal.
    Could Quartz handle correcting the display, so instead of outputting for square-pixel, it could output to 1.777 (16:9 anamorphic)?
    Is there a solution for this?
    Much appreciated.

  • Widescreen Display through VGA

    Hi everyone!
    Ok, got a new monitor today (Samsung SyncMaster B2230) and linked it upto my iMac (Late 2009 running 10.6.6) and all of the resolutions that it is offering are ins 4:3, not 16:9 (native res of the monitor is 1920x1080). Tried installing SwitchResX but no luck with that either.
    Thought this was wierd so connected it upto my macbook, and it displayed the 1920x1080 resolution (16:9) that I was after - so the problem isn't with the monitor or the cable or the adaptor
    Also booted into Windows 7 on the iMac to see if it could get the resolution to go to 1920x1080, but it was only doing the 4:3 ones as well (tops out at 1600x1200)
    I THINK that the problem is with the ATI card in the iMac being annoying and not wanting to do widescreen through VGA, if anyone has any ideas/advice on what might work to get this sorted please get in touch.

    Some general background info that may help reduce the confusion (or at least help explain why it exists):
    • As explained in this Wikipedia article,"VGA" specifically refers to an analog video computer display standard introduced by IBM in the 1990's with a resolution no greater than 640 X 480 pixels, but in common use "VGA" has become a generic term for any of the modern analog video computer display resolution standards that use the analog VGA connector, or for the connector itself.
    • Several of these modern analog computer display standards define 16:10 widescreen formats (see for example this Wikipedia list), such as the "WUXGA" (1920×1200) format.
    • However, there is no common analog computer display standard that defines a "native" 16:9 widescreen format. The 1920x1080 widescreen format is the native one for HDTV's 1080p & 1080i signals, but they are digital formats with no direct analog counterpart.
    • To make things that much more complicated, analog video signals of the same resolution may use slightly different parameters for such arcane things as horizontal & vertical timing & sync, & different monitors or graphics cards may & generally do accept or supply only a subset of all the possible ones.
    • Because there are so many different variations in the analog standards, "plug & play" methods (in both Mac & Windows implementations) may not offer all the possible ones, especially those that involve non-native pixel mapping. For Macs, SwitchResX or a similar utility allows users to experiment with all the possible graphics card values it supports; however, there is no guarantee that the monitor will support the desired ones.
    • The manuals for most monitors & HDTV's include a chart of the parameters for each display mode their VGA ports support, although many are incomplete. It can be very challenging to find any set of values that work other than the "plug & play" ones, but the chart values at least will give you a clue about what may work -- only values on the chart will work so entering them in the utility & making guesses about any that are missing is the best you can do.
    • Because there are far fewer digital video display standard variations, using a monitor's or HDTV's digital connection(s) such as DVI or HDMI usually is much easier, as well as often producing a sharper image. Since all contemporary Macs support digital video out (with the appropriate adaptor), that should be your first choice whenever possible.
