19 inch wide screen monitor problem

My daughter has my old 450MHz G3 (10.3.9). We bought her a 19 inch wide screen monitor for Christmas. I hooked it up for her and booted the machine. Everything came up fine although the monitor resolution was set to a somewhat funky resolution of 1350? x something, I don't remember exactly. I set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1440 x 900 thru the display preferences and it took that fine.
My daughter shut down the machine that night and when she booted it the next morning, the monitor displays the message "No Input Signal" (or something to the effect). I haven't had a chance to get over there and look at it yet, but the only idea I have to fix the problem offhand is to reset the machine's PRAM.
I'm puzzled that after initially hooking the monitor up the machine had no trouble feeding it a signal, but after a shutdown and reboot, it has a problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

I zapped the PRAM on the machine and it booted up fine. The monitor's display was set to 1440 x 900 when it finished booting. I found this a bit mysterious, as I figured zapping the PRAM would reset it to the resolution it had when I first hooked it up.
To test things, I shut the computer down and rebooted it. Once again, the monitor gave the "No Input Signal" message and remained off. So I restarted the computer and did the PRAM zap again and it once again came up fine w/the resolution at 1440 x 900.
I told my daughter to have the machine go to sleep rather than shut it down and I set the energy saver preference to do so. She's had no problems since I did that, but I'd really like to know why shutting the machine down is causing the resolution confusion.
Jeff replied to this thread suggesting to really fix the problem I may need to get a graphics card that natively supports the 1440 x 900 resolution. I've thought of that possibility, but it's not very attractive since, unless I could find a cheap used card, I'd probably have to spend about as much for a card as I could sell the machine for.

Question about wide-screen monitor on Solaris x86

I have Solaris x86, version 10/2009 installed.
It works fine with any wide-screen monitor I plug in.
But when I use this 3rd party CAD/CAM software, any round
circle is being displayed as an oval shape. I believe that's because
on the wide-screen monitor, the width of the monitor is longer than the height.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to change so that I can view circles as true round circles instead of an oval shape? Thanks.

OK, I know what the problem is now.
But I need to change the resolution settings. Does anyone know how to change it on x86, version 10/2009?
I recall it being something like "kdmconfig"

LR and Wide Screen Monitors

Probably a simple question so kindly bear with me on this one. I have the opportunity of picking up a wide screen monitor in the next couple of days at a reasonable price - 19" 1440 x 900. My question, how will LR appear on this size monitor - will it fill the screen or will I experience black banding at the top and bottom? I like the idea of the further width to increase the panels but hate banding even on TV

Hi Alan
I have the Dell 2407 monitor (1920 x 1200) which has the same aspect ratio (1:1.6) as your proposed monitor. I find this monitor "perfect" for LR - it looks like LR was designed with this aspect ratio in mind (consider that most digital cameras have a 1:1.5 aspect ratio).
If you hide the left and right panels then you will only have a small "black band" on the left and right of the image. In all other situations this screen will be well utilized.

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?
I got confused when searching for possible candidates. Almost all wide screen bags are designed for 15.4 inch. Few 14 inch bags are fit only for the normal 4:3 screen.
Any advice from you are welcomed!
Many thanks!

Hello,
Other brands you might want to look at are Brenthaven, Case Logic, Eagle Creek, EastPak, EZM, Jan Sport, Kensington, Swiss Army, Targus and Trager. There is also an earlier message thread here in the forum discussing carrying options, and a quick search of the Internet found some messages here, here and here that you might find of interest.
There really are lots of different solutions when it comes to carrying your ThinkPad, so it might be best to visit a few computer, electronics, office supply and sporting goods stores to find something you like and meets your needs (and budget). If you do not have your ThinkPad to yet, consider either bringing a tape measure or a piece of cardboard cut to the dimensions to "test" with bags.

Is my brand new mac book pro(13 inch) compatible with an old apple 2008 model of the cinema display 20 inch wide screen.

is my brand new macbook pro (13 inch) compatible with the old 2008 modle of the 20 inch wide screen cinema display
note: this aple 20 inch cinema display is not the new thunder bolt display

Yes. Treat its Thunderbolt port as if it was a Mini DisplayPort when choosing an adapter.

The display doesn't go as wide as our wide screen monitor

Previously we used IE, the display would fill the width of our wide screen monitor, but with Firefox it is only using about half of the monitor. Seems ok with other applications so assuming its a firefox thing?

No answer for you, but here is a related thread:

Dv wide screen pal problem

I’m tying to make some titles in live type.
The project settings in fcp are pal wide screen. I’m making an in and out point in the time line and then exporting by going file export QuickTime movie. The movie is a reference file.
I’ve opened live type and tried place or place background movie but this is where it seems to go wrong.
The clip looks like is 4:3 and looks squashed. When I look in the project settings its not the same as final cut.
In the settings I have the following choice for pal
ccir 601 pal 5:4
ccir 601 pal sq. 4:3
The project in fcp is pal dv anamorphic. Do I need to change these setting to be correct in live type or do I ignore them?
I’ve tried typing in 720x576 and for pixel aspect ratio 1.46. The canvas changes size but the video clip doesn’t. I have to select the clip and and click stretch to canvas. Is all of this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Mac mini: Samsung 27 inch series 3 monitor problem.

Connecting HDMI(mini) to HDMI(Monitor) leads to poor text resolution (blurry difficult to read). Monitor only has HDMI or VGA. Will mindisplay to vga adaptor work and give a clear picture?
Have tried PC to moitor through VGA and gives clear perfect picture.
Answer would be most grateful as otherwise mac is much better than PC in all other aspects and would not wish to go back to PC

OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?

HP LP2465 24" Wide External Monitor Unrecognized?

I have a HP LP2465 24" Wide screen monitor. Similiar problem to ScottsMac message.
Setup: The monitor has two DVI inputs/outputs. I have a DVI adapter to VGA dongle. The DVI end is plugged into the monitor and the free end is a VGA connector. I'm using the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. The VGA adapter is plugged into the VGA endpoint coming from the monitor. The Mini-DVI adapter is than plugged into the MacBook. No signal recognized by the computer? The monitor goes to sleep.
Should I try a DVI to DVI cable (from monitor to mini-DVI to DVI connector)avoiding the VGA connection altogether?
The monitor works fine from an IBM Thinkpad to monitor (VGA(computer) to DVI(monitor). John

Problem resolved. I simply used a mini-DVI to DVI adapter instead of the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. For some reason the MacBook doesn't send a VGA signal? I plugged the mini-DVI adapter into the MacBook. The DVI end was joined to a male DVI adapter. The other end of the DVI adapter was plugged into the monitor (DVI connector). By making the whole link DVI and eliminating the VGA link the problem resolved.

Video Driver for wide screen

I have a Dell 20" wide screen monitor that requires a resolution of 1680 X 1050. I have the standard ATI Rage 128 graphics card and have updated the software, but that resolution is not available.
The color and clarity look great running at 1280 x 1024, but it is distorting the image width by stretching it.
If anybody else is running a wide screen that has been able to solve this problem, your tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie
G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x) ATI Rage 128

Sorry, but it seems that the Rage 128 card is only capable of up to 1280x1024 3D, according to ATI.
The image is stretched to fit your screen whenever the display is not running at its native resolution.
The reason for the limited resolution of the card is the VRAM. At 16MB (Rage ORION), it can't really do much.
For a simple solution, you might just consider the Radeon 7000. It will definitely support your LCD's resolution.

Wide Screen Layout Bug?

Hi, it's me again,
I recently put up an update for the website that I have been working on that makes the site mobile friendly. Three different layouts, 1 each media query, but now I'm facing a problem that is kind of strange to me. I'm hoping there is an easy fix for this, it seems like something that could be fixed by readjusting the meda queries min-width and max-width, but after tinkering around with it for a bit I had no luck.
I am using Dreamweaver 5.5, the site works on Desktops, Tablets, and Phones, but the problem is on some computers (from what I seen, only on the wide screen computer) the website layout is mixed up and out of place. Anyone who might come to this thread to help me might look at the site on their monitors and see that the site works fine, while others who are most likely using a wider screen monitor will see the problem that I am facing.
http://showcasenc.com/
Above is the website that I am trying to get fixed up, would anyone be able to help me pinpoint the problem? As usual, I greatly appreciate any and all help offered.
I'm sorry to have made frequent trips to this board for help, but this recent update that I have been working on (making the site mobile friendly) has been stressful and challenging. The people from this forum have been of tremendous help and I'm already very thankful. I feel I'm nearing the end of this update process, I just need to get some of these bugs (like the one described above) cleaned up.

Maybe I just input it wrong then, here is what I have:

Monitor Problems / 10.4.8 / Mac Pro

Anyone that has any ideas on this problem would be much appreciated!!
I have 2 x Belinea B1925S1W 19" wide screen monitors running off my Mac Pro. They Both have DVI to VGA adaptors, one adapter is a Mac one, the other is made by Belkin.
The Problem is this: whenever I turn the computer on, the right hand monitor displays the picture so it is either half way off the screen or the image looks bitty and pixelated. The dock is too far off the screen to be accessed. The way I work around it is to have system preferences in my start up items and to re-choose the resolution of the screen. It is already set right when I go there, I have to choose the resoloution above it and then go back to the right one to fix the problem. The other monitor is fine.
It's SO annoying!! and has never worked correctly!
Thanks in advance.....

Try sapping monitors, then cables, then adapters, to see if you can isolate the problem to a monitor, cable, adapter, or the graphics board. Try moving the menu bar to the other monitor in the "Arrangements" pane of "Displays" System Preference and see if the problem moves.
