1080p resolution and 120nz
Purchased 42 inch 1080p LED 120 NZ Insignia TV today and can only get 480p 60nz...I have century Link Cable. What do I need to do?
Assuming that you are using an HDMI connection, you need to change the output resolution on your cable box. Call the cable company for that information or save yourself the headache and google the brand/model of your box. As the other poster stated, the highest resolution you will get from the cable box is 1080i / 60Hz. The TV doubles the refresh rate to 120Hz internally.

T430 1600x900 i5 Core: Mini DisplayPort To HDMI 1920x1080 TV Resolution And Sizing-Overscan Problems
Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Also, my apologies if these issues have been previously resolved; I've spent 2 days searching for answers and none of my effort has resulted in a solution, either here or elsewhere.
I very recently for the first time connected my ThinkPad T430 2344-5GU (i5 core, native screen resolution 1600x900, Intel HD 4000 v9.17.10.2843, NVIDIA Optimus NVS 5400M v9.18.13.1100) to a Panasonic HD TV (native screen resolution 1920x1080) using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connector, with the hope of playing 1080p movies on my laptop while watching them on the TV. This seemingly worked fine at first--both audio and video were present--but I quickly noticed that the image on the TV was, very slightly, larger than the image on the laptop screen (cutting off roughly 5% of the image on each of the 4 sides) and that the resolution wasn't 1920x1080. So I hunted for a solution.
Windows display properties were no help. In fact, as soon as I tweaked something there I lost the picture on the TV (the options available are "Show desktop only on 1" (the laptop screen), "Show desktop only on 2" (the TV screen), and "Extend these screens", which annoyingly turns the TV blank yet allows the cursor to to enter the TV screen depending on the chosen layout and the cursor's approach direction to the TV). So, from having a functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture on the TV screen I went to nothing, at least for my desired use.
Further research led me to the Intel HD 4000 settings, but those didn't even show that multiple screens were in use when the TV is attached. Finally, I tried using the NVIDEA Control Panel, but although multiple displays seem to be supported the best I can do when cloning is have the screens' resolutions meet in the middle at 1440x900, which makes them both look worse than the original plug-and-play result described above. Heck, I went so far as to enter the BIOS and try every combination possible under "Graphics": no NVIDEA, Integrated, Discrete, each with and without "Auto Detect NVIDEA capability" enabled and disabled. I even updated the NVIDEA driver to their newest, a version not available at the Lenovo Support site. Nothing. And worse, ever since my very first tweak under Windows display properties I wasn't able to return to the original functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture.
At this point I used a very recent image to return my system to it's Pre Original Tweak state (allowing for the functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture originally obtained), which is better than nothing, I guess, but surely not what I'd expect from a higher end laptop.
Please, does anyone know if there's a way to connect my T430, native resolution 1600x900, to an HD TV, native resolution 1920x1080, while actually maintaining each screens respective native resolution and not losing any of the image? Thank you again for your time.
Edit: After more research I've fit the desktop image to the screen by adjusting the TV's "Picture/Advanced picture/HD size" setting from "Size 1" to "Size 2". Now my only question is if it's possible to somehow play a 1080p movie at the TV's native resolution of 1920x1080 or if I'm stuck with the laptop's navtive resolution of 1600x900.Try grabbing the latest NVIDIA driver off of the NVIDIA website. It might help.
Extending it should also allow you to run the 1600x900 T430 screen plus the 1920x1080 TV screen each at their native resolutions.

Problems to get 1080p resolution (1900x1080) on Satellite Pro U200
Hi all,
I'm new in this forum. I have a 1080p monitor, it works perfectly with my old desktop computer (with a gforce 4 graphics card). But when I connect this monitor to my Toshiba U200, the max resolution to set is limited to 1680x1050.
I've updated the drivers of the graphic card with the latest driver released by Intel (vers. 7.14.10.1504 - Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family), but the problem persists.
Anybody got any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks.
Edit: OS used: Windows Vista Business.Im afraid there is no solution. The notebook can offer just supported resolutions and 1080p is, as far as I know, not available. Not on this notebook model.

If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?
As far as I can tell, yes. I purchased an HD movie on my old Apple TV 2 (720p) and just upgraded to the Apple TV 3 (1080p) and it displays 1080p on the info sheet and plays in that quality, so I have a feeling the same should go for you with your iPad.

I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?
In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

I'm a little confused about resolution and scaling. Currently I run my ATV through a projector which has a native resolution of 1280x720. As this exactly matches the ATV, I get a lovely picture.
I'm thinking of changing my projector for a plasma TV. Many plasma TVs are coming out in 1080i, which I think is more than I need as I will only be using it for ATV and as a 2nd monitor for my MBP. I'm also concerned about loss of image quality due to the upscaling from 720p. I'd rather get a TV that is 720p native, like my projector. However, this doesn't seem to be so simple. I've looked at a few TVs which claim to be 720p, yet all of them have a resolution of 1024x768. I understand there may be some around which are 1280x720, but all the ones within my budget seem to be 1024x768.
I would like to know how this different resolution is likely to affect my picture quality with ATV. I can see that 48 pixels can easily be lopped off to match 720, but what about the horizontal? Surely 1280 cannot be easily converted into 1024, at least not without a detrimental effect on picture quality?the_beev wrote:

I have an older Panasonic with a 1024x576 panel it's HD ready and accepts up to 1080p signals. I have a newer full 1080p Panasonic full 1920x1080 panel.
Guess which I prefer?
The older one has picture quality that blows the other out of the water, but the main reason is I mainly watch SD stuff - I don't have an awful lot of commercial HD stuff though.
There's something about the old panel though that just looks smoother and more natural - probably a case of mature 1024x576 technology vs early 1080p technology, and poor upscaling of SD content.

Don't worry about 'lopping off pixels', the 1024x576 panels are still 16:9 aspect ratio due to non-square pixel arrangements and scaling works very well with AppleTv 720p IMO.
So in some ways it may depend on what you're mainly watching, SD or HD - AppleTV should be fine with a 1024x576 panel. In general for plasmas/LCDs SD upscales quite poorly unless the sets have very good upscalers, so if you watch a lot of SD, a full HD set may give a worse subjective experience.

I am looking for sources of 1080P content (shorts, trailers, etc) and a way to output from a Mac(G5 dual) to a 1080i/p rear or front projection TV for demo purposes. This can be done with 1080p content available for windows media but I want to use Mac environment.
thanksI think that the 1080i limitation would be caused by the display, and not the DVI interface, as DVI is a digital interface commonly used with LCD computer monitors, which do not use an interlaced signal. So, when you watch 1080p content on a 30" Cinema Display, you are seeing it at true 1080p over the DVI connection.
I would suggest calling some major TV manufacturers and asking them if they have any models which accept and natively display a 1080p signal, and from which source.
Of course you also have the option of using any widescreen LCD monitor with DVI input, with the optimal resolution being 1920x1080, for a pixel-per-pixel fullscreen display of the HD content.
Let me know what you end up doing. -
Looking for suggestions for a new display: What size, resolution and refresh is recommended?
I've been using my laptop display, 15.6" and its just too small. I figured I'd purchase a display to plug into the laptop. I'd like suggestion on specs. I figured a 20 to 23 inch would work ok but I've seen some folks with dual screens. Lastly, I have no understanding of resoution, refresh rates to look for or brands to either look at or stay away from.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.The good news is that you don't need to worry too much about the specs -- just about any monitor you purchase will be OK. First choose a size that fits in you work area, then pick the monitor from that range of products that has the highest resolution and refresh rates -- the monitors will all have very similar specs.
I've been using PCConnection
http://www.pcconnection.com/
as my primary source for computer purchases for over 12 years and highly recommend it. They have user's comments for most of their products, so you can get a feel for the satisfaction level of the products.
I've never understood the value of having dual monitors, unless one needs to have a couple of real-time monitoring apps open at the same time for instant feedback about the data....

Hi, how can I keep the same zoom level for all the pages I view in Safari and even when I close and open it. Indeed with a 27 inch Imac I have a lot of space, most of the websites are built for smaller resolutions and my sight is dropping ! Thx

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
thanks!I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down? -
How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessary
Getting it out of Aperture is not a problem. When you export the slide show select 1080p as the export format.
What happens then gets tricky. To create a true high def 1080p DVD requires Blu-Ray. So you will need an external Blu-Ray recoreder and software to create the DVD.
If you're hooking your computer up to the TV then you'll have better luck. -
IPhoto pics are low resolution and small
I've got other open tickets on here, but let's try and tackle this one for now.
I recently had my IT guy here at work update my OS and as a result, destroy my iPhoto as I know it.
It imported all my pics, lost the albums, used the face recognition and doubled the size of my folders AND seems to have imported the pics at a lower resolution.
When I click on an individual picture, on the display screen it shows up small in the window. I can zoom on it, but it looses resolution. It's just as if they were brought in at a low resolution, and lost the high resolution.
Let me know if something similar has happened to you, I can post pics of my screen if this is too hard to follow...
Thanks,
JT2 - in the finder drag the iPhoto library from the current loction in the pictures folder to the desktop
I drag it down and it starts to copy the library...doesn't delete it. I'm assuming I can make that copy, then drag the original folder to the trash, then essentially deleting it?
Dragging the library to a new location on the same volume does not copy it but moves it and is virtually instant - if you drag it to a different volume it will copy it - by default both the pictures folder and the desktop folder are on the same volume so you are doing something incorrectly
if it is a copy on an external drive then drag it intact as a single entity to the pictures folder on your boot drive - if it was backedup using backup software (like Time Machine or other backup software) then use that software to restore it
The key is not where it is but how it got there - if it was copied to an external drive then drag it as a single entity to the pictures folder on your internal (main) drive - the drive your system folder is on (the boot drive - the drive you boot to wheb you start your computer
IF
you used a back up program to put it there then you use that backup program to restore it to the pictures folder on your main drive

Check image resolution and color
Please let me know whether it is possible to get the image resolution and color used in a eps file.
regards,
SashiYou can specify the resolution for exporting, for document etc but resolution of the raster objects can not be retrieved.
Color space of the raster object can be retrieved using the rasterItems : colorants or imageColorSpace properties -
Could somebody please help me with my problem?
I am creating a slideshow, using iMovie '08, for a party I will be attending. I am going to make copies for several guests but I am lost on the details. The master copy of my project is 1920x1080 HD. So, in what resolution and aspect ratio should I make my guest copies given that each guest will have a different television and aspect ratio setting?Send the file to iDVD and create standard definition DVD's.

Hi, We have strange error started coming recently for using java to check file existence. Recently we moved to saxon and earlier we were using Xalan but I dont think this caused the error. We were using this code since years or so without any problem
