Can LCD TV 32HL833B not achieve native resolution (1920x1080) from a PC ?

Hi,
I've bought this LCD TV for use mainly as a PC Monitor. It's currently at 1280x1024 but the text is too big & blurry and I've read that it would be much better in its native resolution of 1920 x 1080.
The PC is running Windows XP with standard "Plug and Play Monitor on INtel Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family." which only has a VGA output. I didn't have this resolution at first so I downloaded a driver [1] update 6.14.10.5016.
I now have 1920x1080 as an option on the Windows "Display Properties"/Settings but when I apply it, the TV overscans [2] with a huge area to the right hand side of the screen. The screen adjusts as I scroll right but I often miss pop ups from the Windows tray.
I tried to run PowerStrip [3] but the resolution keeps reverting to 1280x1024 (where no overscan occurs). And secondly the TV refused to power off and, although after a hard reset it is OK, I'm concerned about damaging it.
I'm willing to purchase a graphics card with a HDMI output but on reading page 18 of the HL833B spec [4] section "Acceptable PC signals through HDMI terminals" am now concerned that the maximum resolution I can get is only 1280x1024 (which is what I have now via VGA). There's another table where the maximum resolution from "Video HDMI" is the native resolution 1920x1080 (as expected).
Can anyone advise
1. Why is the max resolution of a PC signal through HDMI only 1280x1024 ?
2. Would buying a graphics card help to achieve 1920x1080 ?
Thanks !

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Keywords: Native, 1:1 pixel, turn scaling off, Exact Scan Mode, WYSIWYG
================================================================
Yes it can achieve native resolution ! I was about to give up when I found this;
http://www.hdtvreview.com/Toshiba-32HL833B-hdtv.html says that HL833B includes Extact Scan Mode
See page 34 for instructions
On remote control, press Quick, change picture size from "Normal" to "Native"
Simple as that. Now I'm happy

30 inch Apple Cinema Display-system prefs not showing native resolutions

The 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, seems to be working fine with the mac pro, but when I try to hook up the 2009 mini, the display preferences do not show the mini's native resolution of 1920x1200. The maximum it shows is 1280x800, and only gives a few other choices. This mini had once been attached to a TV monitor, so I am wondering if that has something to do with the lack of choices in the system preferences. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the system preferences to display the correct info so that I can adjust the resolution ?
Thanks

Being compatible with the 24-inch Cinema Display and being able to use it at resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 doesn't necessarily mean that it can drive the 30-inch Cinema Display at its full resolution. You need to use a dual-link DVI connection as stated above.

Resolution can't go higher than 1280x1024 - native is 1920x1080

This seems to only be a problem in Snow Leopard, as it works fine as a display for a Windows PC. I try to attach my Samsung SyncMaster to my mac and the maximum resolution it says it accepts is 1280x1024@60 or 70Hz. Its native resolution is 1920x1080@60HZ. I've tried SwitchResX, and when I try to install this resolution it comes back with "Not activated - Invalid?"
Is there a way by editing a file I can change or force the resolution in terminal or a file to edit the external display's resolution (iMac 2009 Snow Leopard) I've got 10.6.2 ... any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advanced!
This is only the mini displayport to dvi adapter

This is what the file says:
What should I do with it? Edit what and save it where to take effect?

Radeon Mobility HD 3650 won't go higher than 1440x900; Ext monitor native resolution 1920x1080

I've got a Viewsonic VG2436wm with a native resolution of 1920x1080 hooked up via a KVM switch to the VGA port on my T500.
The ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 in my Lenovo T500 will not give me any resolution higher than 1440x900.
I've updated Catalyst to the newest version available from AMD. The Catalyst software recognizes the monitor's highest resolution and refresh rate but lists them as "not supported." It won't let me switch the graphics mode to energy saver; it keeps telling me that I have to turn off 3D rendering and close all programs...except nothing's open.
All Windows 7 updates are installed. And yes, this exact same setup works with the Thinkpad Edge 420 my office issued me.
I'm ready to pull my hair out. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciate.

GT120 DVI- HDMI not showing native resolution

I'm having issues getting my new Quad 2.66 Mac Pro with the stock GT 120 card to work with my LG L246WP HDMI display. I'm using a DVI->HDMI adapter (same I used with an older iMac without issue) and now it only shows HDTV supported resolutions. I had to use a 3rd party piece of software to force it to see 1920x1200.
Also, now windows in bootcamp won't work either using the DVI->HDMI but works with DVI->VGA! What I don't understand is that my older iMac with a ATI 2600 chip ran extended desktop and bootcamp flawlessly but with this new hardware it has been one giant headache.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

I just spent the morning on the phone with tech support after hooking up my new Mac Pro to my HP w2408h monitor and finding the same problem everyone else has - maximum resolution of 1900x1080. The tech had me roll the OSX version back to 10.5.6, but it did not help. Using the dvi to hdmi connection on my Mac Book Pro gives me the proper resolution of 1920 x 1200, but no matter what the tech had me do, I could not get the proper resolution on the new Mac Pro. He did not think it was the hdmi to dvi connection, but I am almost sure, especially after reading the posts here, that the problem does lie with the hdmi (actually with the GT 120 video card). I do not expect a quick resolution from Apple to this problem.

Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

Apple Mini Display Port NOT working at resolutions over 1600X1200!

Problem:
Apple Mini Display Port does NOT work at resolutions over 1600X1200 on NON Apple Cinema Displays.
That means if you own any other brand of monitor such as NEC, Lacie, etc. you will NOT get native resolution on your 24 inch monitor as it is stuck at a maximum resolution of 1600X1200.
This story was mentioned on "Macbreak Weekly" show 4-14-2009. I have since checked with a few people and it would indeed seem to be true at this point.
I REALLY hope a solution from Apple comes soon and this is not some new policy of theirs. If so, it may be the last Mac Pro I will or can ever own. The reason is I do a lot of 3D work with C4D, Vue, Modo and Photoshop CS4 so I MUST have a monitor like the high-end ones from Lacie that have 100% color gamut and Adobe RGB. I can NOT be tied down to an Apple Cinema display due to that work. At this time, it seems this means I would only get 1600X1200 resolution on that 24 inch monitor.
Has anyone else confirmed this too and if so what the heck is Apple thinking or better still going to do about it? I LOVE my Mac Pro but if they start forcing displays on us then I won't be buying another Mac, it's just that simple.

Thanks, but I think two things may be different in that setup.
1. If I understood correctly, it's a first gen without a "Mini Display Port" and
2. It was a laptop not a Mac Pro with a video card.
I think it has specifically to do with either one or both of the above combos. In particular I think it's the video card they are putting in them.
I am not sure if a new 2009 Apple laptop with a Mini Display Port connected to a NON Apple display would have an issue or work like yours does now. It would be interesting to get to the bottom of this for sure because it REALLY hurts people like myself that are into 3D design.
I will try to get back on this once I continue to find out more details.

Native resolution of MacBook White (2008) to hook up a monitor

I have a 2008 early Macbook white. I want to hook up a monitor with it. I am looking for something from 25-28 inches.
I see that with a 26 inch 1920X1080, there is some fuzziness and it is not as crisp as it looks on the macbook screen. The icons are bigger and fuzzy. I assume that it is because 1920X1080 is not the native resolution of the macbook.
I am a programmer and want to use every possible real estate of the monitor as possible. Would like to know if it will be better if I use a 28 inch with 1920X1200? Also, if I am correct about the native resolution thing?
Also, if you could point out that a 28 inch Hannspree is a good choice or not?
Thanks.
AJ

Sorry. I also wanted to know if I can hook up two smaller monitors that will give me the highest (I think) res of 1280 by 800 each? Any connector that allows two monitors (not including macbooks own screen) to be attached to the macbook. Like two, 21 inch inch monitors?
Thanks.

LCD native resolution not available in system preferences

I need to set my resolution to 1680 x 1050 and that resolution is not vailable. I have a original G4 Mac Mini with Tiger. The monitor has dual inputs for both VGA and DVI, sometimes it will work with the VGA input but not consistantly.
I need to use the DVI input now to leave the VGA input free for my KVM.
I have tried Zapping my PRAM multiple times, starting the Mini with the monitor unplugged, swapping between the DVI and VGA inputs on the LCD monitor, and swapping between my old CT monitor and the new LCD. None of this works.
The LCD always detects as "LCD Display".
I have been unable to find information on where the monitor resolutions are stored, one thing which I would have liked to try would be manually editing the file to the correct resolution.
What else can I try?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Brian, sorry about your issue- it's frustrating isn't it? The file you need to edit is in system > library > frameworks > IOKit.frameworks > Versions > A > Resources, and it's called IOGraphicsProperties.plist. If you activate the root user temporarily using the NetInfo Manager, you can edit the file with textedit, save it to the desktop, then drag it into the Resources folder to replace. When you look in the file, you'll see the following:

I had the same problem as you. I bought an Acer 22" widescreen, with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, which wasn't "available" in the displays control panel. After some swearing and lamenting the olden days in OS9 when you could just willy nilly see all the resolutions, i added my resolution the this file and it showed up in the control panel. You'll have to monkey with it to see how it works, but basically you're going to add another 'integer' line, like so:
<integer>1680</integer>
If this is too hairy for you, or just too much trouble, i highly recommend SwitchRes. It works perfectly for this problem, and you can input the specifications for your monitor exactly and it will install the resolution so that it's available to the system. Its cheap too.
good luck to you!

Native resolution does not fill entire external display

I've got one of the original MacBook Pros with the Mobility Radeon X1600 hooked up to a Samsung P2350G display (it's a 23" LCD panel.) The native resolution on the display is 1920x1080.
The display has inputs for both VGA and DVI. The DVI port however is used by a desktop PC already, so I use a DVI to VGA adapter on the MacBook Pro, and use the laptop panel as a secondary display.
The problem is that when I set the external display to its native resolution, I get vertical letterboxing and some flickering along the edges of the image. It does not horizontally fill the whole display as it should. I have tried the same adapter on the PC and it worked fine (though with rather spotty image quality.)
Resolutions that are lower than 1920x1080 work fine and fill the whole display properly. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. The laptop is only semipermanently attached to the large display so I can live with a reduced image quality there, but the flickering, slightly distorted image is just not acceptable right now.

Sounds like it might be a sync issue. Have you tried powering the monitor off and then back on with the MBP connected to it? How about just temporarily disconnecting the DVI cable from the desktop PC and using that to plug into the MBP.

Equium A100-147 - Native resolution on external LCD doesn't work

Hi,
My Equium A100-147 has 1 VGA and 1 S-Video output, so I'm using the VGA output on a external LCD monitor with native resolution of 1680x1050@60hz, but the integrated Intel 945 graphics card doesnt give me the right resolution to choose for this monitor, the most close is 1600x1200 and some another weird widescreen resolutions that make my monitor scaling show a ugly image.
So I tested another external monitor with native resolution of 1920x1200, and the closest resolution the Intel drivers gave me was 1920x1080, even installing both monitors drivers, removing and reinstalling the driver and even formatting the machine and reinstalling everything from zero didn't give any different results.
I have another laptop MSI Wind with the same graphics card built in and the very same driver version, and the laptop detects both monitor and the right resolutions for them, so it's not a monitor driver problem.
Seems for me that is a problem with the S-Video output that makes this mess, but there is no way to disable it in the BIOS or any another place in device manager I have seem yet.
Does anyone can give me some advice for what can I do?
Thank you!

actually the resolutions available to external monitors here on the intel control panel are
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024
1400x1050
1600x1200
1856x1392
1920x1080
1920x1440
2048x1536
so it seems possible to use another widescreen resolution at least to match aspect ratio without matching the right resolution.
I've just hooked my 1080p hdtv via VGA and I'm able to use 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio
seeing this another resolutions that aren't on the manual, maybe its possible to make custom resolutions as well.
I've tried make a custom driver using the intel ones and power strip but without success because I don't know exactly the range of frequencies to setup the driver .inf

LCD Won't allow me to display native resolution

Hi all. Recently installed a new HD in my T43 (T43, type 2686 running XP Pro, SP3). After updating all of the drivers through the lenovo site, I have everything pretty much working. However, I cannot set the screen for the native resolution (1400 x 1050) - it's not an option. The max I can set is 1280 x 1024, but everything looks super tiny, and I've been using 1024 x 768, as that's the least-crappy picture. I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X300 card. Here's the really bizzare bit - when the computer starts in safe mode, it automatically defaults to 1400 x 1050 res and everything looks great. I have the old HD, and things run great when I swap them out. I'll be the first to admit that i'm a n00b at this, so any help for us slow-learners would be super cool. Thanks in advance for the help!
Michael
oh yeah - I've searched through the board and can't find anything that matches.

Could you check in device manager if everything look ok? No unknown devices, no exclamation marks and check the driver version for the display adapter. To find device manager rightclick "My computer" and select properties, select the hardware tab and click the device manager button. Doubleclick on the ATI adapter and select the driver tab to check the driver version.
Is the link below the driver you downloaded and installed?

You could also download Lenovo System Update 3.14 (4.0 is for Win 7 only) and use that tool to download and install the drivers. It's easier and faster compared to download and install manually.

External monitor will not go to native resolution on my macbook pro

Hi, I have just bought a 22" Westinghouse monitor connected to the dvi and I have no idea on how to display its native resolution of 1680x1050 I have tried mirroring the two monitors and it will not allow me to view the native resolution on my new monitor.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Message was edited by: earnerich

earnerich,
When mirroring, your Macbook Pro will default to the highest resolution of the lowest-resolution display. In this case, your external monitor must be driven at your Macbook Pro's highest resolution; 1440 X 900.
If you configure the external monitor as an extended Desktop, you can increase its resolution to its maximum. In extended Desktop mode, both displays can be driven at their highest supported resolution.
