Blurry text on HP w2207 external display?
I just hooked up my 15" MBP to a new HP w2207 LCD and I'm concerned that text is not as sharp as it appears on the (lower-res) notebook display. I fear this may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway: Is this just a fact of life with a larger screen (which I otherwise love), or is there something wrong with the new monitor (or how I have it setup)?
You know I tried two different monitors a Dell 17" LCD and a Samsung 20" widescreen. Both were set at their native resolutions. Both had the same problem. The text was not crisp. I would not say blurry but I would say it was over anti aliasing. I was using the DVI out put too. I tried doing a custom color profile but had very little improvement. Some forums indicating a possible problem with the Intel video. But I tried the monitor's on my wife's Dell laptop with the same Intel graphics and it does not have any problems. So I am thinking it is more about how Apple handles anti aliasing.

External Display Blurry when Mirrored
I have a 20" viewsonic VX2035 that is hooked up to my gaming rig. If I use it with my MBP and choose the mirror displays setting, when the Viewsonic is at its proper resolution (1680x1050) everything looks blurry. When at its correct resolution and not mirrored it looks normal. And it looks normal but slightly distorted if mirrored and at the 1440x900.
Any ideas?I've found exactly the same thing.
In "mirror mode", the external display (for me a 23" cinemadisplay HD) uses the macbookpro's internal screen's resolution (though it does uprez it), even though on screen preferences it may be set much higher (1920x1200 on mine). Hence the fuzziness.
In "dual display" mode, and in lid-closed mode (where the external display is the only one on), it works perfectly.
Not sure why this is. If anyone has a fix, please post.

Question about using HD LCD TV 1080p as external display
When i connect my MacBook to my new Samsung LCD HD TV, it set the screen resolution correctly to 1080p. The picture seems very nice, but when I move some text to the big screen the text is not so clear.
Why not? Am I doing something wrong or can I do something to make the picture (text) nicer?Screen resolution, in general, is a hard thing to explain to individuals who don't work in graphics manipulation, and for good reason. It seems backwards at times. How is it that a 36" 1080p TV can appear blurrier than a 24" 720p TV? Why is 720p better than 1080i?
As far as using a 1080p display with my computer, I've settled on a 24" Samsung 1080p monitor/tv. I find it's a good balance between pricing, ppi, readability and other factors that one might consider important when looking at external display options.
Frankly, modern computer OS GUIs are not designed to be used on a display that is upwards of 8 or 12 feet away from you, no matter how big it is, or how high its resolution is. They take advantage of high resolution displays so that sitting close to a screen is less taxing on your sight over time. There are alternatives, obviously, like Media Center and Apple's media software, which are designed for using a computer on a television.

External Display for Macbook Pro
Hello everyone. I have a 17" 2.33GHz Macbook Pro and I am having trouble finding a good external display. I have already tried a Dell S2009W and a Dell S2209W. On both these monitors the graphics were great but the text was a bit blurry. I want to be able to operate the external as the sole display and not use the macbook display. I am looking for a 22" or 24" display. I will not be watching movies or photo editing, but text clarity is a must since I will be doing a fair bit of word processing and reading.
Can anyone explain to me why the Dell monitors had blurry text and which manufacturers I should be looking at (Gateway, Samsung, Viewsonic)?
Thanks in advance.I use a 22" Samsung and its working very nicely and the mirroring works perfectly, i highly suggest it

RMBP external display strangeness
I got tired of waiting for a real update to the Mac Pro line and decided to spring for a retina display MBP as my primary computer. I was using two 27" NEC Multisync PA271W monitors for my work on the Mac Pro, and I am trying to rig up a solution where I now have three screens to use: the MBP display and the two NECs. No problem, right?
So I assembled the following:
2 mini Displayport to DVI-D converter plugs
1 LaCie eSATA to Thunderbolt hub
2 Monitors
! Thunderbolt cable
I plugged one of the miniDisplayport to DVD connectors directly to one of the thunderbolt ports and then connected it to Monitor 1 with a DVI-D cable
I plugged the thunderbolt cable in the other thunderbolt port, and then ran it to the LaCie TB/eSATA hub. From there, I connected the other miniDisplayport converter and then connected it to monitor 2 via a DVI-D cable
When I go into System settings, all of the monitors appear. However, Monitor 1, which is hooked directly to the TB port on the rMBP will only allow a maximum scaled resolution of 1920x1180, even though the monitor's native resolution is 2560x1440. Monitor 2, which is connected via the LaCie TB/eSATA hub allows me to select the full resolution of 2560x1440.
I switched the monitors - same result.
I pressed the option key when I clicked on Scaling in System Preferences - same thing - the directly connected monitor will only run at a reduced resolution.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I suppose I may end up getting another hub, since I plan on using another eSATA drivHello, TheForce61! I am having the same issue and would love some advice. I have a MBP purchased in January 2012, so I don't think it has Retina, but I don't know how to figure that out. For a year, I hooked it up to my old Westinghouse external display, with no problems with blurry text. But that monitor died a few days ago, and I bought a new Samsung SyncMaster S20B350. And the text is HORRID. All I use it for is text, so I don't care if the video or graphics are lovely. Someone recommended a PRAM reset, but that didn't work. I am using the cable adapter that came with the MacBook Pro - the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter. The small end of the adapter connects to the laptop, and then I connect the other end to the cable that came with the monitor. The monitor cable then goes into the "RGB In" slot. There is also an "HDMI In" slot on the monitor (It's a Samsung 20" LED Monitor - S20B350). Should I try a different cable? Someone else recommended this adaptor: Mini DisplayPort + USB to Dual-Link DVI signal format converter But it seems lame that I have to spend $65 to make a $140 monitor work properly! Thoughts? Thank you!

How can i drive 2 external displays with my macbook pro?
I just purchased an Macbook Pro and wanted to know if there is a solution to drive 2 external Apple
Cinema Displays simultaeously. (Set up so displays operate as 1)?I believe the TripleHead2GO requires all three external displays to be identical. Verify this with a call to Matrox. There is also a maximum resolution limit for the three displays together, which you'll want to be sure is acceptable to you and will look OK on your monitors. Ideally, the maximum resolution the TH2Go supports for each display will be the maximum resolution each display is capable of when used alone, because the displays will be sharpest at their maximum resolutions. If used at any lower resolution setting, they will be noticeably blurry.
I'm not aware of any other three-display options for the Mac that enable the monitors to operate with normal responsiveness (USB video adapters are slow). Yes, the TH2Go is expensive, and that's probably because it's the only game in town. -
How to Force mac Thunderbolt External Display with Integrated GPU for Macbook Pro 2012?
I have been getting GPU Panic whenever I use external Thunderbolt Display.
Not sure whether this is software after(Mavericks) or hardware, if anybody could shed some light I would appreciate it.
The Current Discrete GPU will only work for few seconds 10 sec max before it became blank and require you to force shutdown. This also happened even without external display Blank and GPU Panic upon restart. So I suspected either the discrete GPU failure or software in Mavericks.
But at the moment I'm looking for workaround so I can use the intel intergrated GPU to use my Mac Thunderbolt External Display.
Thank you in advance for any input.

Missing external display 1920x1080 resolution, only shows 1680x1050... Please HELP !
When connecting my Macbook Air (mid 2011) to an external LG 22" Display (M2241A) which supports a native resolution of 1920x1080, the closest setting available in the display preferences is 1680x1050, and aspect ratio is really distorted at this size. I use an Apple mini-display-port to HDMI, and HDMI cable to connect the Monitor.
What can I do to correct this problem ? How do I make the 1920x1080 available and get rid of the distortion ?Thanks for your quick answer, but... When I use the 1080p resolution, I need to use Underscan, and the colors change, the fonts get all blurry and overall definition goes really bad. Really seems like a TV setting.
Maybe okay to watch a movie, but not to work in Photoshop and get design work done properly.
The external display only has HDMI + VGA inputs.
So I guess the next step is to try finding a different connector (mini-display to VGA) But I am now in Chile, Patagonia, and believe me, this will be quite a challenge to find !!! Also, no way to buy at Apple online store and get it shipped here in Chile... :-((( -
Incorrect resolutions for 16:10 external displays, unable to detect 16:9
Hey there all, this is my first post here. It looks like some people have had similar issues—particularly with an incomplete/incorrect list of resolutions being provided for external displays.
I am shopping around for an external display for my MacBook (my specs are included) and I tested a few different ones today, but encountered problems.
- On a 22" ASUS monitor (sorry I don't have the model) using Mini-DVI to VGA, the native resolution (I assume 1680x1050) is not available, and most resolutions offered are 4:3 ratio (1600x1200 worked). The highest widescreen resolution listed was 1280x768.
- Next I tried a 19" ASUS, this time 16:9, but the monitor would not display at all. The MacBook display would go blue as normal but then flicker, as if it could not detect the display. This also happened with a 24" BENQ monitor (also 16:9).
Wondering whether or not this was a problem with using VGA, I then bought a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and tried again on the 19" and 24" (the 22" ASUS did not have a DVI-in) but the same flickering blue screen appeared, with nothing displayed on the monitor.
These were my thoughts:
1. My firmware is not up-to-date. I check in System Profiler and am running Boot ROM Version MB41.00C1.B00 and SMC Version (system): 1.31f0. These are definitely up-to-date for my model MacBook.
2. Drivers are out of date. This does not seem likely as I am running OS X 10.5.7.
Other than that, I am at a loss! I haven't yet forked out the $49 to do phone support with Apple, that will be my next bet.
Has anyone had this problem, or have any ideas what I can try? Short of buying a new Unibody MacBook of course .
Thanks guys, hope you can help. Just let me know if you need more info about my computer.It's unusual to strike out like that with three different monitors using two different adapters. On the other hand, with all the video issues that have been reported by others on these forums since the 10.5.7 update, it's not too surprising.
Is a 10.5.6 downgrade a possibility for you? For example, do you use Time Machine and can you in that case revert to a previous time when the MB was running 10.5.6? Perhaps that's not a great suggestion, but it would be something to try.
There is some remote chance, though somewhat unlikely given that three different monitors are involved, that the embedded display driver data (EDID) in each monitor is bad or incomplete. If you care to investigate that possibility, there is a program called SwitchRes X that allows you to snoop a monitor's EDID and turns it into a human readable text file.
One final suggestion would be to try yet one more monitor to see if any monitor can return a good result. One obvious choice would be an Apple monitor. If there is trouble when trying to connect to an Apple monitor, then that would certainly point to some problem in the MB's configuration or hardware. And not to cast aspersions on the brands you have already tried, but try another brand (if not Apple) that is perhaps more mainstream and known to be more Mac compatible and less firmly in the PC camp where plug-and-display drivers have never mattered very much and are very often botched by the monitor makers. Dell, Samsung and LG are three big brands that come to mind. Good luck. -
Macbook Pro, how to reset invalid external display resolution?
Hi there. I have a question about the external display configuration.
I recently connected my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" (10.8.2 Mountain Lion) to an external HD-TV using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. After connecting the TV had 1920x1200 resolution which made the text and everything look very tiny. So I thought I'd lower the resolution a bit. But then I messed up and accidentally changed the resolution and refresh rate for the external display to one that wasn't supported. So the TV went black and gave an error about an invalid resolution. At the same time, on my Macbook screen I had only the background image and display settings dialog. No mouse cursor, no menu bar, no dock etc. So I couldn't do anything.
I disconnected the Thunderbolt adapter and got my Macbook screen back to normal, but when I plugged it in again, the same thing happened. Invalid resolution on TV, just background image and display settings on Macbook screen.
Now, this was just before I was going to give a presentation and it resulted in a very awkward situation with me franticly re-plugging the Thunderbolt adapter and looking just completely clueless In the end I had to borrow my colleague's laptop.
So my question is: when this happens, is there a way I can reset / clear the external display settings back to defaults? They are obviously saved somewhere since replugging the Thunderbolt adapter didn't give me back my original resolution.A PRAM reset should solve that:
From the article linked above:
Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off. On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM.
Information stored in NVRAM / PRAM includes:
Speaker volume
Screen resolution
Startup disk selection
Recent kernel panic information, if any
To reset your PRAM:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Win 8.1, Retina MBP, external display, stupid scaling
I've got a Retina MacBook Pro (Late 2013) with a 2880x1800 display, also connected to an external 1920x1080 display, dual-booted into Windows 8.1 with the latest Boot Camp drivers and the most recent nVidia drivers.
In Windows, when I go into the Display control panel and make "Change the size of all items" a little larger, then things look fine on the external display - but the laptop's display shows a teensy tiny taskbar and teensy tiny icons on the desktop.
If I check "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays", then things look fine on the laptop's display - but the external display's windows and icons are HUGE.
And either way, if I'm not running the laptop's display at Retina resolution - even if I'm running at exactly half resolution, 1440x900 - then the laptop's display is terribly blurry. Makes me want to go back to a pre-Retina laptop.
What are the best Windows settings to have reasonably-sized windows and icons on the Retina display as well as the external display under Windows 8.1?
(Yes, this is just another reminder that I shouldn't bother trying to run Windows on a Mac ... but I thought that handling multiple displays with different pixel densities was supposed to be Windows 8.1's strong suit?)Good point, but then it's a shame that not only can I not take advantage of the Retina resolution, but then the lower resolution setting makes the Retina display look terribly fuzzy. Even set to exactly half the resolution (2880x1800 -> 1440x900), it looks like WIndows is trying to fuzz everything instead of simply pixel-doubling it.
I understand that's a shortcoming of the nVidia driver. I'll go find the nVidia board to complain...
(I'm extending the desktop, btw, not mirroring.) -
I got the following message after the crash, it happens a few times a day, my system is the base with 16gb ram late 2013 15" macbook pro retina. it only happens when i am connected to an external display, I do have a converter from vga to displayport. also, i run 4 different browsers in incognito mode as i do web testing and also have about 30 tabs open and excel and a few other apps open, not sure if this is what makes it happen or if it is the external display? it is under warranty, so if you see anything below that may relate to the hardware i can bring it in and get it fixed.

Display issue coming out of sleep (w/ external display)
Hey everyone,
I've a MacBook Pro with Retina display. running 10.8.2 (and Win7 x64, via Bootcamp).
I somtimes experience trouble coming out of sleep with no external display connected, if the MacBook was connected to an external display when I sent it to sleep and the integrated display's brightness was turned all the way down. Basically, the MacBook's integrated display won't light up. I then need to hold down the power button until the machine powers off, and start it up again. Only then will the display come on, and the machine start normally.
I've been observing this with both an external Thunderbolt Display, and a TV connected through the HDMI port. I don't think this is a Mac OS issue, as I've seen similar behavior on this same machine, running Windows, under Bootcamp.
An example scenario: I'll be using the Thunderbolt Display, or watching a movie on my TV, with the integrated display's brightness turned all the way down, and then, while the display is still connected, I will close the lid - The machine will go to sleep. I will then come the next day, and while the computer is asleep, disconnect the external display, and open the lid. The MacBook's integrated display will not light up, the brightness keys will not respond, and I will need to force-shutdown the machine, and start it again - it will then start up, and usually fall back to the lowest display resolution setting (even though I always use much higher resolutions on both the integrated and external displays).
I'm guessing this is happening because the computer is expecting the external display that was connected to it, during its last operation, to still be available, and when it's not - it panics!
Also, I had times where this happened, and a force-shutdown would not do the trick. I had to actually connect back to the external display, wait for the machine to start normally, take the integrated display's brightness back up, and disconnect the external display. The machine would then resume normal operation, and I would be able to disconnect the external display and work on the integrated display.
Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar?There we go. Here's the complete Console report, up until the reboot, which fixed things. I can't make anything out of this, but perhaps someone else can.

External display not as crisp as my Mac Mini
Hi, I recently bought a macbook.
I used to have a mac mini and hooked it up to a 19-inch LG Flatron L1950s (Resolution: 1280 x 1024, 24-bit, 16.7M colours). It looked great hooked up to my mac mini, very sharp.
Now, I've hooked it up to my macbook, and while the display looks "ok" it is nowhere near as crisp as when i had it hooked up to the mini. I feel like it should be performing better. I have it set to its native resolution, but it's just not as clear. I mean, why would there be any difference at all?
Any ideas that might help?
GavinGavin,
I wanted to weigh in with the same problem. My MacBook display looks crisp as all get out, but my external VGA monitor is blurry. Not unreadable, but certainly noticeable. I've tweaked resolutions, font anti-aliasing, smoothing, refresh rates, and everything else. I've also hooked my MacBook up to a LCD monitor, and the same problem exists. I am using a Mini-DVI -> VGA adapter as well. The LCD monitor I tested was inputting via it's VGA input (I know what you're thinking, "Of course it'll be blurry!", but I can hook my other laptop (Dell) up to it and it's crystal clear).
I really want to use an external display, as bending my neck to see my screen all day really is hurting me. I can't stand the blurryness of the second monitor, though.
Does anyone have any solutions for us? I don't want to buy a Mini-DVI -> DVI adapter and switch monitors to an LCD if using my existing VGA monitor is possible. Plus, it sounds like this might be a MacBook problem, as Gavin's old Mini seemed to display just fine on his VGA monitor... -
Text looks blurred on Samsung display
Hi,
So, I have just gotten a Samsung SyncMaster TA550 for Christmas. I have it connected to my MBP13 mid-2012 (2,5GHz i5, 8GB of RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000) with a HDMI cable and a Dr. Bott HDMI & DVI to Mini Displayport adapter.
The display looks absolutely fabulous as long as watch videos, but text looks like crap, all blurry, and gives me headaches, not matter if it's text I'm currently writing (in pages or online) or the song list in iTunes for example. The problem is: I mainly wanted to use this display for writing. Also the bars in pretty much every programme I've used so far have this strange grey blur to them.
I'll attach screencaps of both text and video on the screen. You'll see the grey blur in the safari window.
I toyed around with resolutions and practically all the display settings in OS X and the display itself - nothing worked. It looks slightly better when I change to 720p instead of 1080p or 1080i using underscan to fill the display, but that's not what we want, right?
Currently it's set back to "Best for display" and a 60 hertz refresh rate.
I thought that maybe the adapter (which wasn't a particularly expensive one) might be the problem, so I have now ordered a HDMI to Mini Displayport cable that had good reviews online. It might take a few days for that one to arrive though, and I was hoping that maybe I could solve the problem without having to use that one.
I hope you'll be able to help me, cause honestly, this is getting annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Sabrina
Strangely the screencap looks good on my MBP's LCD...I have been switching from PC to MAC for the last couple years. One of the last bones was my desktop computer which had a SAMSUNG 29'' HD monitor.
Last friday I bought a MAC MINI and connected it to the Samsung thru HDMI. I had almost a breakdown when I realized the blurry text from the OS X against the crisp and bright text from the Windows machine. I started to investigate without any luck until I came across this post. Thank you MissKillALot, you save my day! Finally now I have a monitor working like it should, and no more PCs at home!!!
P.S. No wonder people keep ditching Samsung equipment: For the HDMI - DVI PC port to work properly you have to "RENAME" the port from HDMI to DVI PC. Rename? Who thinks that by "renaming" some port it will actually change its properties? Is this on purpose to annoy the user?
