2nd display - blurry text

I'm trying to configure my HDTV (CRT 720p/1080i) as a second display, mostly for use with Front Row and XBMC for OSX. I'm using a DVI-to-HDMI cable as a connector and upon the first use, Leopard decided upon the appropriate resolution for the TV (1920x1080).
It's working pretty well, but all the text is moderately-to-very blurry. I've noticed that it's the case in almost all resolution settings, though it's slightly better when I select a "stretched" resolution.
Any ideas on sharpening up that text?
Please and thanks.

Hi Mickey
Same here my 27" flat screen TV is great for frontrow, videos, slideshows etc. Not so good as a second display to work in, see Tip way down at the bottom of the "Mini-DVI video out port" article below:

LR5 - Photos in 2nd Display are blurry / don't render completely - intermittent issue

Just upgraded to Lightroom 5, and the performance issues I saw in 4 appear to be gone - which is awesome. I've come up on an issue that I've seen referenced in other posts, but only for LR4. Also, the issue seems to be slightly different than mine. My issue is that when I have the 2nd display running in Loupe mode, the image won't render completely and looks blurry/fuzzy, when in Develop mode on the first screen. However, it's not every time. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it takes a few seconds, and then it works. Sometimes, it doesn't ever work. It just sits in a blurry state - not fully rendered. Sometimes if I go to the next photo, and then back, it will then load. Sometimes that doesn't work.
While I did have tons of performance issues in LR4 (including 4.3 and 4.4), this was not something I remember seeing.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, i7 2600-K, 24gb RAM, multiple SSDs.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the exact same problem in LR5
Selecting another picture and coming back usually fixes the problem.

Lumia 925 blurry text while scrolling

Noticed that my lumia 925 has a blurry text while scrolling, specially when scrolling white text over black background or black text over white background... also noticed some blurry when scrolling tiles on the home screen, this blurry occurred around the black horizontal lines separating the tiles.... compared the scrolling with the 920 and there is a huge difference...
I read that some of the galaxy S4 units has this problem and that this problem related to Samsung AMOLED screens, and you know the lumia 925 has a Samsung AMOLED screen.
Any one has these issues? let me know in comments please..

I have the same issue with L1020.
I am extremely annoyed and disappointed at Nokia for messing up the PERFECT display of L920.
After using L920 for months and laughing at lower quality displays of other phones, this L1020 display feels like those typical phone displays.
Are nokia engineers so incompetent or everyone of them have vision issues that you ship a phone with such s**t quality?

Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.
The Ruby script, modified for D3014 can be found at post http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3153072
If you're impatient like me, don't forget to copy the created Folder to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides before rebooting. Thanks to Blurry text on Dell Monitor + Mac OS X | Danilo Ercoli

Hi Grant,
Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
You can connect:
Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

Fuzzy/blurry text in Captivate 7

Hi alll,
We recently upgraded from Captivate 6 -> 7. Usually we use transparent text boxes for text, and when publishing in Captivate 7, the text gets blurry/fuzzy, regardless of color, size, font etc. We had the same problem in an earlier version of Captivate (I think maybe it was Captivate 3), and the workaround then was to highlight at least one charachter within each text box, but this does not work in Captivate 7.
Funny thing is that if I just drag the generated .htm file into my browser window, the text is crisp and clear, but when I run the same module from our LMS, it all gets blurry and fuzzy.
Any help to avoid this would be very appreciated.

Captivate text displaying blurry has been an issue since day one. I've had to deal with it and spend dozens of hours of R&D to try to figure it out... and as you see I'm still searching for an answer. It seems soooo simple but it must be extremely complex because Adobe just can't figure it out! It was the same thing in Flash. We are a global org producing e-learning for fortune 500 companies and at one point Captivate was our most used tool. Due to this issue and a bunch of others, our shop is now doing 75% of our projects in Storyline, 20% in Lectora, and we have ZERO clients asking for Captivate for the last 2 years. When a client spends tens of thousands of dollars on a project, they don't want to have to look at blurry, jagged text. I wish it wasn't this way because I am a highly experienced Cp developer now having to learn Storyline. But Adobe has either ignored this issue or just cannot fix it. In the image below, you can see the differences in the way Captivate displays text and the horrifying difference between Cp and Flash that I just don't get. That one causes a huge issue when we drop Flash stuff in a Cp slide and are required to stay consistent with font type and size.
Keep in mind, the problem everyone is frustrated about is mainly text that uses Transparent style caption. It appears better when in a styled caption bubble. The blurry text issue can be somewhat fixed by applying a white highlight on all the text. Although, it is still not what we are looking for. And, this extra step in development is painful, costly, and there is always a few that we miss and then we get complaints, etc.
Man, that first one is just nasty!
One last thing I discovered that works, but not all of the time, is that if you create a dummy variable with no value, then put your text in a transparent text caption, add a few spaces at the end and then insert that variable, you will see crisp, clean text as if it was html. Again, too much work and not a consistent solution!!
Hope that helps for those who are new to captivate, and for those like me, who have lost too many hours of precious life and money on this.
See ya, have to continue my Storyline training now...

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
Thoughts please.....
Thanks much
Ginger

Awwww......that's it....the dash! I tapped it. Tried to drag it up/down and it didn't move. Now I swiped and it's back!
So I need to remember to drag up/down and now swipe.....
Thanks much!

MacBook 2nd display (mini-DVI-DVI (D)- VGA)?

I am trying to hook up a second display to my MacBook. The problem is that I don't have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but I have a mini-DVI to DVI, and a DVI to VGA adapters. So I connected my Apple mini-DVI to DVI, to my DVI to VGA, and then to my 2nd display (NEC LCD1560NX). The notebook's image flips as i normally connect a second display, it auto-detects the 2nd screen and displays its correct name, but I do not get an image on my second display. It set to the right resolution and frequency.
Any suggestions?

go to system preferences -> display-> and mirror the displays, it should work on the second display, but the cons on the macbook is to work on the first display, the built in card may not support the second one, if thats the case i'm sorry i can't help it. you can also try to get a DVI/VGA splitter and see if that work, it works on standard integrated intel VGA models. good luck!

I can't seem to turn off my 2nd display (with no adapter plugged in)

Been looking on the internets for ages about this and not got anywhere, so did a completely fresh install last night.
The problem is that the DVI (2nd display connection) thinks that I have a VGA display connected (i.e. the 2nd display) when I plug in the DVI-VGA adapter to use with a TV that works fine. The 2nd display resets to align itself to the TV connected.
When I disconnect the adapter the Mac resets it display. Back to having this phantom display connected.
I've plugged in the DVI-VGA adapter as well and then carefully removed that and sameroblem.
Having done a fresh install that would mean it's not a software issue, so it has to be a hardware one? Something with the actual connection? Does anyone know of any potential problems as to why this would happen?
I've tried some compressed air. (I've lost the straw so it was straight from the can, spray paint style)
Please help.
Thanks.

Anyone?

How to display long text in smartforms

Hi experts,
Iam trying to display long text into smartforms.I got the long text into ITAB frm database
in the abap program.In the form interface how to define the variable?In the long text i have 6 lines.
points guaranteed
cheers
kaki

Kaki,
Delcare a table and getting the LONG TEXT is not the right way of doing this.
You create a TEXT object and change the TYPE to INCLUDE TEXT. Once that is done all you have to do specify the parameters of your long text - TEXT ID, TEXT OBJECT and TEXT NAME. These are the same parameters that you use for READ_TEXT funciton. You don't have to fetch the text manually, it happens automatically.
Make sure this is a part of the main window as this might run into multiple pages.
Regards,
Ravi
