Can my T530 connect to an external 4K monitor via DVI port?

I connect a 4K monitor to my T530 via the DVI port in the docking station, but the max. resolution I can adjust is 1920x1080. Is there any way to change to 4K? Thank you.

You might be able to get 3840x2160 on DVI by setting a custom resolution at 30Hz using Intel Control Panel or NVIDIA Control Panel (depending on whether you have Optimus).

  • Yellow screen on external TV Monitor via DVI-ADC Adaptor

    Hello,
    I am using a 2008 17" MacBook Pro with a DVI-ADC Adaptor in order too use an external monitor, however whenever I set it up the 2nd external monitor has a yellow tint all over the screen.
    Does anyone have any solutions to resolve this?

    I don't think so... you need to look at either an iO HD or a Matrox MXO to take care of things I'd think. Might also be able to use an Intensity Pro Card (least expensive solution).

  • Trouble connecting Macbook pro to Samsung monitor via DVI adaptor.

    I just bought an Apple mini display port to dvi adaptor but no graphics are being displayed on my monitor (a samsung tv/monitor). All that is present is the background on my macbook. Any ideas on how to sort this please?

    That's the extended desktop. Try Command F1 if you want to mirror.

  • Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth?

    Why can't I connect to samsung or htc device via Bluetooth? or can't copy any picture or song from my laptop to Iphone 5?

    Because this has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.
    Ipod touch/iphone/ipad support bluetooth for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrrier.
    Otherwise, they will not connect to another phone/device/computer.

  • HT4437 Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

    Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's only the iPhone 4S and 5 that will allow mirroring, earlier models will allow basic AirPlay.

  • Can i remotely connect to my external hard disk from my iPhone/iPad?

    Hello,
    I just bought a new apple time capsule.
    Can i remotely connect it with my mac without a static public IP?
    I read that i can not reach it remotely anymore for iPhone en iPad since the last update, is that correct?
    So than i want to connect my external connected hard disk. Is this possible with my iPhone or iPad?
    I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
    And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
    Can anybody explain how i can fix this?
    Thx
    Macbook Pro 2012, iPhone 6, iPad air 2, Apple TV

    Apple have no method to connect iOS device to the TC at any time.. LAN or WAN.. so any method you use must come from 3rd party app.
    I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
    It works as well as any other app can. Remote access must be based on a network protocol and the only ones supported by Apple are AFP and SMB.
    AFAIK people have not been successful getting AFP based file apps on iOS to work remotely although I have not checked closely for a while.
    So you have to use SMB.. and at least filebrowser has instructions.
    http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
    It is however unsafe opening SMB at any time. And I suggested people try it with different ports instead of obvious ones.. but that didn't work so why it needs to be 20445 I don't know.. but it does make it fairly obvious.
    The alternative method which is really the only safe way to do this is using a different router.. one with built in vpn servers. These used to be expensive but you can buy them now for less than $100.. or use routers with 3rd party. You have to move the TC to being bridged and used as WAP and switch. However that is not a major issue. The vpn router will include a standard ddns client so that fixes not having static IP.
    And iOS has good vpn clients built in or app add ons.
    VPN is the right way to do this.
    And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
    TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it has no media extensions. Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer. So you must have an application which can stream from TC to the ATV which means you need a computer with iTunes or you need ipad and some software that can read files and stream it.. obviously apple built the system for itunes and itunes pretty much exclusively.
    If you get a WD live TV it can play source material directly from TC.. because it is a true media player. Apple TV cannot.

  • Connecting Powerbook to External LCD Monitor

    The D-BUS port on the external LCD monitor is a female port, so is the VGA port of the DVI Adapter, How can I connect these 2 if both are female ports, what do I need???

    Sounds like you need a VGA cable with male VGA plugs at both ends. Quite common, for VGA monitors that don't have hard-wired cables.

  • Macbook air 2011 model to connect to an external 1080p monitor QUESTION

    i have the July 2011 Macbook Air 13". I would like to connect it to a 1080p lcd monitor or an hdtv.
    Can anyone recommend a decent model? i do not want to spend more than $300 and would prefer either a 27" or 32"
    When connected to an external monitor, will i get higher screen resolutions instead of my 1440x900 that i have on my air?

    Its going to be tough to get a "decent" model LCD monitor of that size for less than $300.  A decent model of that size will START at around $300.  That being said, your resolution will depend on what mode you set the monitor at from your Air.  If you set the mode as Mirrored, you will only get the 1440X900 on the Air, but if you set it at Extended Desktop, it should fully fill the monitor.  Also, you can set the external monitor to be the MAIN monitor with the computer operating with the display closed to get the full screen at 1080, but then you will need an external keyboard and mouse.

  • I just got a new mac mini. Can I connect 2 monitors via dvi?

    I'm using the thunderbolt port to connect an external hard drive.
    I have two samsung monitors that have a dvi port and a vga port. i'd like to connect it to my mac mini, is this an option to connect with the hdmi to dvi adapter and a dvi to dual dvi splitter?
    Or if you have another recommendation, please feel free to reply.
    Just to be clear, I'm looking to use two monitors so i have more real estate to work with. I'm not looking for the same thing on one monitor to also be on the other.
    Thanks ahead,
    Line

    Hello, if a splitter would work at all, it would only Mirror the same on both.
    A few TB devices have a pass through that MAY work to run another Monitor... or not.

  • Can I connect two 4k TVs and one additional monitor via DVI to my MacPro (late 2013)?

    Can I connect the following?
    - 4k TV via HDMI
    - 4k TV via Mini DisplayPort with an HDMI adapter
    - DVI monitor with 2560x1440 resolution

    I saw this page before but I am not 100 % sure if I interprete the statements correctly. For example, it is stated that "Two HDMI (HD or 4K) devices" are supported. When reading only this, it seems that the configuration in my question is not supported. However, they also wrote:
    "Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all."
    Does this mean that I can also attach additional 4k HDMI TVs (and not just DVI displays)?

  • Macbook Air hangs when connected to an external main monitor

    I have a Macbook Air the I connect to an external monitor as a main monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable. The configuration is equivalent to the LED display from Apple. The system works correctly while I am using it, but when it gets sleep, the system is unable recognize the external mouse/keyboard, and it hangs. I have disconnected the external monitor, disconnected and reconnected the USB and nothing works. The only way to recover the computer is to halt it using the power button and power it on another time.
    I have also put the computer to not sleep if it is connected to mains. It still sleeps.
    Does any one know how to solve this problem?

    I do not know.
    What I know is that if I suspend the machine, it recovers correctly, but if it suspends itself, it is not able to return to normal activity. It seems like it is unable to remember that it has to use the external monitor and peripherals in the second case.

  • Can a Macbook send audio via DVI port?

    I want to hook up a Macbook to an HDTV by using a mini-DVI to DVI adapter, connected to a cable that has a DVI connection on one end and an HDMI cable on the other.
    Does anyone know if the min-DVI port supports audio?
    The more expensive cable supports audio, but I don't want to shell out the extra money if the Macbook can't support it.

    DVI does not carry an audio signal. It takes HDMI to do that. You'll need to use a separate audio cable.

  • External LCD monitors with DVI PowerBook: Banding Issues

    I have a DVI PB and would like to attach an external LCD monitor. I've looked at both Samsung 20 inch and ViewSonic 19 inch versions but whenever I attach them, I get "banding" around the edges of the external monitor. Tonight, I went to CompUSA to look at the Samsung 204B 20 inch. Taking my PB with me, I hooked up and set the resolution to 1600 x 1200 and the Samsung had huge, fat black banding all around the monitor. If you don't know - banding looks like a large, black border going around the screen. The sales guy pushed some auto-set buttons (which is said always work to remove the banding) but it didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions? Is there some secret that I'm not aware of on how to attach and use an external LCD monitor with the PB? One note: I did set the resolution down to 1280 x 1024, which worked fine to remove the banding but it monitor looked horrible. Not the best resolution for a large monitor.
    Thanks,
    B. Rose

    Hi, Bill. I can't speak to whatever happened with the Viewsonic monitor, since you didn't tell us about that, but it sounds as though the Samsung was in display mirroring mode rather than extended-desktop mode. The F7 key on your Powerbook's keyboard toggles an external monitor between the two modes. In mirror mode, the external monitor displays exactly the same thing as the built-in display. In extended-desktop mode, it functions as a separate portion of your desktop, and you can drag things (windows, icons) from one monitor onto the other. If you're going to use both displays, extended-desktop mode is probably what you'll want: why keep two copies of the same thing in front of you?
    In mirrored mode, the fact that your Powerbook's display has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 854 means that only 1280 x 854 pixels of the external monitor can be used — leaving wide black borders of untapped pixels around the copy of your PB's display that's centered on the external monitor. In extended-desktop mode, the external display's native resolution of 1600 x 1200 can all be used, provided that your 32MB of VRAM is sufficient to drive the total of (1280 x 854) + (1600 x 1200) = 3,013,120 pixels, at the bit depth you've selected. (You might have to use the extended-desktop mode in Thousands of colors, rather than Millions.)
    Another issue that comes into play with display mirroring is that the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 1600 x 1200 Samsung is different from the 3:2 aspect ratio of the Powerbook's display. If you set the Samsung's resolution to 1280 x 1024 to match the pixel width of the PB display, the top and bottom of the Samsung will be black bands, because the PB isn't manufacturing any pixels to fill those bands. And it will be blurry, because the Samsung has to interpolate to make 1600 pixels look (sort of) like 1280 pixels. Unlike a CRT display, the actual number of pixels in an LCD is fixed. When you change resolution settings on an LCD from its native (maximum) resolution to anything less, the image is always blurred. Only the native resolution can be really sharp.

  • Connecting 2 dell monitors via DVI to MBP.

    Hi folks.
    I want to have 3 screens in total.
    1 built in MBP dispaly + 2 other dell displays.
    Obviously there is just one display porton my mac, how i connect the other two dell dispalys to my Mac.
    The Dell's have display port, vga and DVI ports on them.
    Do i need to purchased a cable or adapter to achieve my desired configuration.?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You didn't specify the sizes of those monitors.  But assuming the resolutions fit within the limitiations of these adapters you could use something like the following for one of the displays:
    Newer Technology USB to DVI / HDMI / VGA HD Video Display Adapter
    Or just search for USB to video converters.
    For the other you could use a DVI adapter directly into the video port.
    The reason the monitor sizes is important is because for resolutions above 1920 x 1200 you need a dual link dvi adapter for dvi connection.  So assuming you have a mini-displayport (or thunderbolt) video port (you didn't specify your model of computer either) then you could use,
    For single link DVI:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to DVI Adapter
    For dual link DVI:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt + USB to Dual-Link DVI Adapter

  • Why can't I connect to my external hard drive anymore through my AirPort extreme?

    I have a WD 500 GB external hard drive connected to my AirPort extreme that I have been using just fine for some time now. All of a sudden, I cannot access the files on the hard drive and when I try to connect to my AirPort in finder, the connection fails. What can I do to fix this?

    If I restart my Mac it notices them
    This is puzzling. You should not have to restart your Mac for drives to mount.
    Also I plugged the hard drive directly into my Mac and had to restart it before it noticed it
    Same as above. You should not have to restart the Mac for the drive to be recognized.
    Connect the drive directly to the Mac and restart the Mac if necessary to mount the drive. Then run Verify Disk using Disk Utility on the Mac. If repairs are needed, run Repair Disk. Locate Disk Utility as follows:
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    See if the drive is recognized at the AirPort Extreme. Post on your results.
