1440 x 900 resolution DVI?

Will my Dual Core Mac Mini support 1440 x 900 resolution if I buy a Widescreen TFT LCD Monitor?
Mac Mini Intel Dual Core, 2gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

There's no doubt the mini supports the resolution, and if the system correctly detects and identifies the display when connected, it would generally set itself to the display's default or native resolution, and offer (in the display preference panel) any other settings the display supports.
However, not all displays are correctly detected, and if not, initially the system will set itself to a low resolution default. If that happens, the display preference panel will not show the correct display model number, but you should be able to set it by clicking the 'detect display' button to force the system to check.
In a very few instances (and with some TVs connected) the system will still not correctly detect the display, in which case a third party utility such as SwitchResX would be needed. It rarely is for dedicated displays however, usually only for TVs.

  • 1440 x 900 resolution on X200

    I have an X200s that supports 1440 x 900 resolution but my x200 only goes up to 1280 x 800 but appears to use the same chipset.  How can I get my x200 up to 1440 x 900 resolution?
    thanks.

    you need a new WXGA+ LCD, i think that would cost around around 400 to 600 dollars.

  • NX6600 VTD128E Diamond Edition does it support 1440 x 900 resolution

    Hi everybody
    This is my first posting to this forum. I soon have all the parts together to build my new rig. The only thing missing is the monitor. I am very interested in the ViewSonic VA1912w which is a 19" LCD Wide Screen Monitor with the resolution 1440 x 900. To get the full performance the Graphic card should be able to support this resolution.  Thanks for your advice.

    the graphic card should be able to do it, just make sure you install the monitor driver, which will either be on a disk included with it, or you may have to download it from the manufacturer's website, or through Windows Update

  • Macbook Pro 15" high-res 1440 x 900 setting using SwitchResX

    Hi,
    I have Macbook Pro wiht15" high-res display. But I seems I can set the 1440x900 resolution by default option. There is only 1440x852... thouth I can't understand it.
    Anyway, someone seems to enable 1440 x 900 resolution with SwitchResX. I also tried to do it. But I can't make it because I have no information the timing parameter. So Is there someone have the information for 1440x900 resolution?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Resolution 1440 x 900 for Windows applications?

    I am attempting to use MacBook Pro (15") to run Windows applications. Some of these are written for a screen resolution of 1280 x 1050, but the max available on the MBP is seemingly 1440 x 900. Is there any way around this, short of buying an external monitor or the 17" MBP?

    I was thinking of a solution along the lines of, maybe the device handlers could reduce the Windows app image to the lower native resolution, which could then be displayed.

  • Why do 15.4" Macbook Pro's not support resolutions greater than 1440 x 900?

    Hi.
    I am a Microsoft .net software developer and am seriously considering getting a Macbook Pro to do some iPhone development. My company has provided me with a 15.4" Dell Precision M4400 that features an LED-backlit screen and nVidia Quadro FX 770M discrete graphics card, supporting 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I'd like to know why the 15.4" Macbook Pro's do not support anything greater than 1440 x 900 when it seems entirely possible? I understand that 17" MBP's do support 1920 x 1200 but it is not currently an option I'm considering pursuing due to the increased size and weight.
    Thanks.

    Just to be clear, since you're bringing up graphics cards - the 15" MBP supports up to 2560x1600 resolution on an external display, and simultaneously supports full native resolution on the internal display. As Phil points out, the native resolution of the 15" MBP's internal display is 1440x900, and Apple does not offer a higher resolution option for that model (although higher resolution 15" displays do exist). As to why that's the case, only Apple can answer that or change that.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html.
    As you know, if you want to use the iPhone SDK, you need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
    Ps. Welcome back, Phil!!

  • Older Macbook Pro Resolution stuck at 1440 x 900

    I have mid 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 running 10.6.6. Recently it has developed a problem with the resolution settings. The highest resolution I can achieve is 1440 x 900 in Syetem prefs. It also means that i cannot see all the screen at one time. I have tried to delete any prefs I can see with Displays in them and it has made no difference.
    Has anybody seen this problem before I have never come across anything like this before. I am currently downloading the 10.6.8 combo update and may try an update to Mountain Lion if this doesn't work.
    Thank you in advance

    You know what I can't remember, pehaps its not the resolution that's the problem, it's just that I cannot see the whole screen at once as if it has been zoomed, but as far as I can tell it hasn't. Made me think a bit differently about it. Thanks

  • 13" Cannot set screen resolution in Windows 7 to 1440 by 900

    Just finished installing BootCamp with Windows 7 Pro. For some reason the screen resolution in Windows display driver only goes up to 1200 not 1440 x 900. On MacOS it is obviously working fine. Any ideas?

    On my MacBook Air 11 with Windows 7 64 bit I experience an even worse situation: when ever trying to install a NVidia driver (also when following the mentioned instructions) the setup executable reports - after a check of system compatibility - that no compatible graphic hardware (=320m) could be found. Luckily at least MacOS X is aware of a NVidia 320m installed.
    Any Idea? Thanks

  • Increasing screen resolution beyond 1440 x 900

    Hello, is there a way to increase the screen resolution beyond 1440 x 900? The result I'm hoping for is one I can accomplish in Windows in that it creates a sort of virtual screen that becomes viewable when one moves the mouse pointer to that which is off-screen, thus bringing it on screen.
    The entire desktop would shift to display only that 1440 x 900 of the, say, 1920 x 1200. I don't know what this is technically termed and I hope I've explained it well enough. Thanks!

  • Screen Resolution 1440 x 900

    I have a MS-6533E Motherboard (I think it is also known as 6533XG.
    I am using the onboard video and cannot get the resolution of 1440 x 900 to display with my acer monitor AL1916W.
    I have updated to latest video drivers but still no luck.
    Can anyone please assist?
    Thanks

    Hi this is usually caused when the display drivers are not installed correctly. Firstly you could try updating your monitor drivers, as this defines what resolution your monitors supports etc.

  • Radeon 9600 Pro and Westinghouse 19" Widescreen Mon.  1440 X 900 Possible?

    I have a G4 MDD with a Radeon 9600 Pro, 256 Mb card with dual DVI outs. I just got two Westinghouse 19' widescreen monitors which have a max res of 1440 X 900. Problem is when I try to set the res of the two monitors in the Displays pane, there is no selection for 1440 x 900. In fact all the settings appear to be 4:3 aspect ratios..... The card seems to have enough juice to drive both monitors as they look fairly decent at a res that is close to the 1440 x 900 but the image is obviously stretched. How do I get a 1440 x 900 selection in my Display pane in System Preferences? Please tell me this res can be driven by this card......
    Thanks.
    j....

    Problem solved.....I used a little shareware program called SwitchResX:
    http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/About.html
    Fabulous little problem solver. You can set up custom resolutions of just about any dimension, although I only tested my needed resolution, and magically once you restart the machine, the resolutions are available in the Display preferences pane. If the display doesn't look right at first, i.e. shifted to the left or right, keep playing with it and perhaps switch back to a different resolution and then back to your custom res and all should be well. 75 Mhz as a refresh rate seemed to make my video card and the monitor happiest.
    Cheers.

  • Display problems with 19" widescreen HannsG 1440 x 900 LCD monitor

    I recently purchased a Hanns G 19" widescreen LCDdisplay for my Mac Mini G4 computer. When I plugged the display into the DVI port it correctly recognized that the display has a 1440 x 900 native resolution. Unfortunately, the display text is "fuzzy" like it is masking the native resolution of the monitor with another resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem.
    One note, the display works great on a PC with the video card set to 1440 x 900 so this is a mac mini problem.
    Thanks!

    I think that is meant to be a feature, not a bug. If you go into the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder you will see a small app called DigitalColor Meter. Open it and you will see that it works like a digital magnifying glass. Pass the cursor over some text and you will see a blow up version of OS Xs font anti-aliasing technology. This technology allows text of all sizes to render well on the screen. But users crossing over from OS 9 or WIndows first experience this "feature" as inferior looking screen text. Eventually you will get used to it.
