2560 x 1600 resolution

I have my 30" Cinema Display set to 2560 x 1600 and in programs like firefox the text is very small. Is there any way to fix this? Or, is it supposed to be like this? Thanks!

Hi logan,
The dots-per-inch of the 30 inch cinema display is the same as that of all the others - about 102dpi. However, because the screen is so large, you have to be further away to see the edges, and so everything looks smaller.
You can increase the font size in most applications. In Firefox, you simply hold down command and tap the '=' key. You can set a default font size in the Perferences - Content window.

2560 x 1600 without the Dual Link Wire

I just this second hooked up my brand new 30" monitor and it is at 2560 x 1600 and I have no dual link wire connected at all.
I can't even plug in the Firewire because my Mac Pro Tower had square Firewire plug and not the angled ones this came with.
It came on and I was like man everything looks so tiny. I went into displays and blam there it was at 2560 x 1600.
I thought the only way to get this resolution was to have the Dual Link.
Is it only the laptops that need this wire to get this 2560 x 1600 resolution?
I can fit 3 web pages fully open next to each other. I put it to 1920 and it looked way different.
I am not a new comer to these types of things but all I kept reading was how I needed the Dual Link wire but just using the single DVI wire that comes attached to the monitor it is at the 2560 x 1600.
Someone please weigh in.
Thanks

Well after searching and stumbling upon a Vid car with a Dual Link DVI port that could do the 2560x1600 with no Daul Link wire I decided to investigate my own card.
My Mac pro Tower is new and came with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120.
Well this description tells the story of why I don't need the cord.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
PCI Express 2.0 Video Card for 2009 Mac Pro with 512MB GDDR3 Memory, 1 Mini DisplayPort, and 1 Dual-link DVI Port
Now it makes sense. I'm dumb I guess.
It is too bad all those with the wire problems can't just kick in a few dollars and get a video card for your computer that comes this way.
Of course I don't know if that is even possible so don't kill me on that statement.
Anyone else who didn't know why I was getting the 2560x1600 that is the reason.

On 11in Macbook Air (10.10), how do I increase resolution of built-in display to 2560 by 1600 pixels?

On 11in Macbook Air (10.10), how do I increase resolution of built-in display to 2560 by 1600 pixels?
It can be accomplished when an external display is connected, so I expect it can be done without an external display.

You're getting full native resolution 1366 x 768 on your internal display, nothing more.

Mid-2011 Mac Mini won't output 2560 x 1600 to my Dell U3014

Hi,
I recently purchased a Dell U3014 30" monitor. I've been using it with my PC via Dual-Link DVI without a hitch.
I decided to plug my mid-2011 Mac Mini into it using a MiniDisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable. My mac recognises the monitor, but won't output at 2560 x 1600, the monitor says it isn't receiving a signal.
If I change the display settings to 1080p the monitor comes to life.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

2560 x 1600 at 30 Hz from Mac mini

Can the Mac mini Core2Duo output 2560 x 1600 at 30Hz so I can drive a 30" display at full resolution with a SingleLink connection? If the Mac mini Core2Duo can't, can a Mac mini G4 (with the ATI 9200) do it? Is there something like SwitchResX that works in OS 9, so I can use that 30" at full resolution with SingleLink on an older PowerMac MDD in OS 9 aswell?

I was just able to use SwitchRes X to build a custom timing of 2560 x 1600 at 30Hz on my Intel mini. Hmm. I have no way of actually testing that output, but for what it's worth, it seems to be possible.
I also tried it at 40 Hz. That also seemed to work but the pixel clock went over the 165 MHz DVI speed limit, so I don't know if that timing is valid.

2560 x 1600 & import lockups in LR 3.x with 30" monitor

Ever since I upgraded to a Nec 3090, 30" monitor, I have problems with importing in LR 3.3 3.2 etc. This problem does not occur on LR 2.x or 1.x.
If I am running the monitor at 2560 x 1600, and I hit import. LR will freeze totally. I can't recover the system without a total power off. If I drop the res to 1900 x 1200 on the same monitor it works fine. The freeze is where LR3.3 would open the GUI drop down where on the older versions of LR you just get a windows dialog box.
I have noticed that if I minimize the LR window to less than 1/2 of the screen on import then it works at 2560 x 1600. However this is a pain.
Usually after I have finished importing, I can take the window back to full screen.
System is XP 32 bit, 8 Gb of ram. Video Nvidia GEforce 450.

Ian:
Yes I have the 3GB switch on. I will try it with the swtich off. I will also take your advise and repost on the feedback area.

Are you using the /3GB switch to help Windows access more than 2GB of your 8GB ram? If yes then that's very likely the treason for the lock-up.

Can Pavillion dm4 with Intel HD Graphics support monitor with 2560 X 1440 resolution?

Trying to upgrade my monitor. It is hooked with HP Pavillion DM4 laptop. Can Pavillion dm4 with Intel HD Graphics support monitor with 2560 X 1440 resolution? Thanks.

Need full model number and Intel HD version (4000, 4600?) and which port you are using. Generally HDMI output is capped at full HD; 1920 x 1080.

Mirroring 2560 x 1440 resolution ?

I have bought an Iiyama Prolite XB2779QS 27" monitor to mirror the display of my 27" iMac (mid 2011 model) onto. The Prolite XB2779QS is a 2560 x 1440 monitor, yet I can only get it to mirror the iMac's display in 1080P resolution max. Am I doing something wrong? I am using a HDMI to mini-display cable, but the Prolite XB2779QS also has a thunderbolt port.
Would using a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable help? I know that the highest resolution that mirroring supports depends on the external monitor, but the insides of the Prolite XB2779QS supposedly are the same as a 27" cinema display!
Hope somebody can help me.

Figured out that DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (with the Mini DisplayPort cable going into the iMac's Thunderbolt Port) will sort me out:

Hope this helps others out there.

Browsing at 2560 x 1440 resolution.

Is there any way to set Firefox to fill my screen without zooming every time I change pages? I have a 27" iMac, and at full resolution is 2560 x 1440. I know I can change the resolution of the display, but that cuts into the functionality of other applications.
As it is, I have to zoom in multiple times to avoid eyestrain. Thanks.

If the zoom feature usually gets you to where you want, you can set that zoom level as the default for all sites. There are a couple of add-ons designed to save your zoom settings. I haven't tried them, but here they are:

2560 x 1600 is gone from my display settings (2nd monitor)

I've been running my 15" retina macbook pro for more than a year now with 27" DELL monitor and it has alway been using 2560x1600 resolution display.
In the past year i've had no issues with mirroring my screen to big screen TV using Apple TV, however today something weird happened.
As usual i mirrored my screen using Apple TV to watch some videos and i had to change some of the display settings to get the best view on my TV.
Afterwards i switched off the mirroring feature and now my 2nd monitor (DELL 27") is displaying 1920x1080 only. I looked at all my options on my display settings (using ATL+click ) and 2560x1600 is gone missing from the list. Im frustrated and couldn't find an answer to this problem, please advice.
Couple things i tried;
- restart & shutdown
- reset NVRAM & PRAM settings
- changed mini display cable with another
- reset monitor settings
Weird find:
I tried to mirrored my macbook pro to apple TV again to see the display settings. Guess what, the option for 2560x1600 is now back on the list and working (visually) just fine. as soon as i turned off the airplay display my 2nd monitor turns back to 1920x1080.
Note: the display on my retina macbook pro is working just fine, no problem at all. this is only showing on my 27" DELL U2713HM.

Hello! Just want to ask about mirroring: when you MIRROR the Retina MBP 15" to your Dell Monitor (2560x1600) : do both the MBP and Dell Monitor look sharp and crisp?
I'm asking because I'm also considering a monitor that's at 2560x1600.
Thanks so much!

How to setup Macbook Pro 13" to get 2560 x 1440 resolution on a Dell U2711?

Any help greatly appreciated.
I am trying with mini-display port to DVI cable now, and can't quite get to 2560x1440... Either on native MAC OS environment or on the Bootcamp Win-7 professional (64bit) environment.
Do I need to buy another cable? Or is it a software/set up issue.
My Macbook Pro is a mid 2009 model which came with just the mini-display port external display adapter. I believe it has the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM.
Many thanks in advance for your input.

Older MBP models had built-in dual-link DVI ports; the unibody MBPs don't. I imagine that was a cost- and/or space-saving design decision, but of course I have no inside information about Apple's thinking.
It isn't the physical dimensions of a display but its pixel dimensions that determine whether it needs dual-link DVI. Any display whose native resolution exceeds 1920 x 1200 requires dual-link, regardless of its physical size. A 1920 x 1080 display does not require dual-link, no matter how big it is physically. You can easily drive a 60" or 65" 1080p HDTV without a dual-link adapter.

How to set up 2560 x 1080 resolution on mac pro 2007

Accidentally create project 2560 x 1600 - is there an easy way to scale down...

...to optimal size for browser, say 1024 x ???. IS there a scale tool like in AfterEffects...I hope/wish/pray?
Thanks, bill

You can select and scale your objects. Group them together, then use Modify > Transform > Numeric Transform to scale or resize.
Then you can trim excess canvas area from Modify > Canvas> Trim canvas.
