Apple TV resolution settings

I connected my Apple TV to my Onkyo receiver using an HDMI cable, and connected the receiver to my Mitsubishi TV using another HDMI cable. I've set the TV resolution setting on the Apple TV to 1080i, to match the TV's native resolution. When I check to see what resolution the TV is getting when I select the Apple TV as the source, I always get 480P. I've double checked the settings on the Apple TV, and they are correctly set to 1080i. I don't have this problem with the other devices connected by HDMI to the receiver. What else do I need to do to get higher resolution video from the Apple TV?

Complex question, probably more than you want to know:
http://ezinearticles.com/?720p-Vs-1080i-HDTV&id=91443
720p 50Hz is used in PAL and SECAM countries; presuming you're in the US you'll want to stick with just 720p.
Some TVs can only display 1080i -- not 720p -- which is partly why that option is there. If your set supports 720p -- and it probably does -- that that's likely the best resolution for you.

  • Apple tv resolution problems

    When I plug my apple tv into my panasonic tv it shows up in only 480p. My television supports only 480i 480p and 1080i but not 720p. The first gen apple tv displayed fine when it was in 1080i because this was an option in the resolution settings unlike the second generation. Is there any way to get the 2nd gen to output in 1080i and be hd or for my tv to accept 720p?

    Unfortunately the ATV 2 cannot natively output 1080i.
    Unless you TV is capable of it, then your other choice would be to purchase a receiver that is able to convert HDMI HD signals. Denon manufactures many receivers that can do this.
    My Denon AVR 4310Ci is able to do this ....

  • Display resolution settings not storing since upgrading monitors

    We have (2) Mac Pros and since upgrading to larger monitors we have been having issues with the resolution settings not "storing" in display preferences. The computer setups are slightly different, and the monitor sizes and make/models are both different, but the problems are the same:
    1) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > Monitor VGA input
    2) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > DVI switcher > Monitor DVI input
    (*Note - I know this whole setup seems ridiculous, but it's the way each of the rooms were hard-wired)
    With both machines the problems intermittently vary from the resolution itself changing at random when turning on the machine each day, to the desktop background being about 2/3 the size of the screen, while all of the icons and rest of the desktop being normal sized/extended to the edges of the monitor as it should.
    It seems that if we change resolution to anything else, and then change back to the desired resolution, that usually solves the problem.
    Does anyone know why these settings won't save?
    (*Note - we recently upgraded to Lion, but the issue was there before and after the upgrade.)

    You must close the window and save changes to keep them.

  • I need  a symbol to remain center screen on my web page no matter the screen resolution settings.

    Im trying to create an animation with functions inside a symbol. I need the symbol settings to remain seprate from the other settings of other items on the page such as "stage" and "background image" which are set to %  height.width,longitude,latitude . It is important that the symbol stays in the center of the screen. I also need this symbol to always remain in the center of the screen no matter screen resolution settings  that are likly range from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

    Hi there,
    I solved the problem. but by solving the problem with centering the symbol on the stage I created another one, a very strange problem.
    Firstly the solving of centering problem:
    I left all settings of the symbol by px, (means no responsive layout), set 0 px o for position, and wrote a css which then centered the symbol on the stage,
    sym.$("products").css({
       margin : 'auto',
       position: 'relative'
    here how does it look in edge:
    The symbol products is behaving just as supposed. The problem I created and which I don#t understand at all: I created another symbol (news) made the very same adjustments, but the symbol is not positioned as supposed. (of course I change the name of symbol in css). What the heck???
    Anyone any idea why this is happening?

  • Changing resolution settings in OfficeJet

    Hi everyone.
    I'm scanning a few old family pictures, size is approximately 5x3 inch.
    The scanned picture I get is very small, 900x600 give or take.
    I need to print those pictures in a photobook and this size is way too small.
    Is there a way to get bigger pictures?
    I tried to increase the resolution, up to 9600, but the result is the same.
    Thank you.

  • Screen Resolution settings on T61P

    Hi,
    Has anyone adjusted the screen resolutions settings on their T61P from 1680X1050 to 1440X900, or even lower? If so, does everything still look crip and clear at 1440X900?
    I have the need, as do others at work to be able to drop the resolution a bit for various reasons.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your tips..I run XP and it is not very clear if I lower the resolution to get a larger font   I also do not have very good eyesight so this is a pain....on my old Dell laptop I could use the CTRL + scroll the mouse to enlarge the screen....on my T61 (no mouse) I do not know how to do the same thing...any other tips?
    Thank you again...I am so Thinkpad illiterate!

  • Alternative Resolution Settings

    Hi there
    I am running an iMac 24". The highest resolution settings are:
    1344 x 840
    1920 x 1200
    Ideally, I would like a setting that site inbetween, but I do not appear to have the option. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
    Many thanks.

    Browsers render based on pixel dimensions, not ppi. So, assuming that 
    you maintain the pixel dimensions and just alter the ppi, nothing will 
    happen to the file size.
    If however you alter the resolution and let Fireworks scale the file, 
    then yes, the file size will change, and the image quality will also 
    change, generally not for the better.

  • Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?

    Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?
    Since the 12" screen real estate is both limited and sometimes difficult to see (email, etc.), I often toggle (6-12 x a day) between screen resolution settings on a 12" G4 PowerBook (1.5GHz, 768MB RAM). Can anyone please confirm whether or not this harms the video, screen, motherboard, etc., in anyway?
    I'd hoped to avoid buying an 17" LCD monitor to address this concern, but would do so if this shortens the lifespan of the PowerBook in any way.
    Thanks in advance for any technical expertise on this topic.

    this will have zero impact on your computer (other than perhaps adding to the wear on your keyboard?)....

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Canon pixma pro 9000II printing - color management and resolution settings

    1) is the printer color management automatically turned off when I select the paper in the color management profile drop down? Or do I need to do something else as well?
    2) a little bit of a newbie question, but I'm wondering what resolution to select (for presentation prints) - auto or 300 dpi. And again in the print dialogue box (under "quality and media"), whether to use high or standard. Wondering what to match with what, etc.
    Thanks.

    The answer to the first question appears to be yes. ColorSync is automatically enabled, and Canon Color Matching is automatically disabled.
    Some tips on the second question would still be helpful, however. Again, I'm curious about matching Aperture "print resolution" settings (auto, 300, 72, or custom) to the print dialogue "print quality" settings (high, standard, etc.) under the "quality and media."

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    were the prom pictures on the iPhone 3 to begin with?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Change email address / Apple ID in Settings iCloud?

    I had to change the email address for my Apple ID. So I did this on the Apple dedicated page. I deleted the old email address as it is not used more. I enabled the new email address which I will use instead. I deactivated mostly linked to my Apple ID on my iPhone. Like FaceTime, iMessage, and so on. Probably I forgot the "Find my iPhone". This now seems to cause me problems because I can not change the email address under Settings > iCloud ... on my iPhone. In this menu the email address / Apple ID is indicated at the top. But it can not be edited / edited?
    Every now and then my iPhone ask for the password to my old Apple ID ... and it does not work with that password. How can I solve this?
    How do I set up my new email address / Apple ID in Settings > iCloud?

    In the menu Settings> iCloud> Account - I can not change the email address. When I press the e-mail address I come to the Account menu. There the Apple ID field gray, can not be edited. The password can however be edited.
