Cannot Mirror new Samsung monitor

I have a MacBook with 2GB RAM and 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Due processor (machine is less than a year old). Recently bought a wide-screen 20” Samsung monitor (2033SW) and connected to the Mac through DVI. My problem is when arranging the monitors as mirror display or as dual-screens.
Resolution on both screens is great when set up as dual-screens. MacBook resolution is set for 1280x800 and Samsung monitor resolution = 1600x900.
However, when I set up as Mirror Display, resolution on Samsung is poor and does not fill the screen. Resolution on MacBook (and Samsung) is 1600x900 – again, looks great on Mac but fuzzy and does not fill the screen on Samsung.
Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just deal with the fact that I will not be able to set up as Mirrored Display? Thanks for any insights.

I'm having the same problem. Mac G5 tower with a Samsung LN52A650...when I try to display 1920x1080, the image is very poor. 1600x900 is ok. Any solutions yet?

  • Stretching "text" when going fullscreen, making it hard to read. Using Latitude E7240 notebook 16:9 1366x768 connected to a 16:10 1440x900 sms22a450 samsung monitor. Any way to fix without buying new notebook?

    Basically what the title says.
    The rendered text is fine when I'm not using full-screen, but as soon as I change it to full-screen the text becomes blurry (most likely tied to the difference in native resolution and aspect ratios).
    Using a Latitude E7240 notebook docked and connected to a Samsung SMS22A450 monitor. The notebook has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with native resolution of 1366x768 while the samsung monitor has 16:10 1440x900.
    Have tried fiddling with the resolutions, aspect ratios, Windows ClearType, DVI, HDMI, DP.
    Is there any setting or something I can do inside of Adobe Reader to maybe fix this problem? Full-screen is very nice when I'm reading study material so I'd love to be able to use it.
    Thanks in advance!

    You can try to play with the Display settings
    You can change the display resolution and the type of Display (Monitor vs Laptop/LCD). I have no problem with huge displays, Mac or PC, using a 2nd monitor with or without mirroring the second monitor.

  • I just bought a new samsung 22" monitor and after talking to them found out it needs higher resolution then displayed in my settings,text resolution is bad. do I take back or can this be fixed?

    I just bought a new Samsung 22" monitor. The text resolution is really bad. After talking to Samsung, I found that the needed resolution is higher then what my Mini-Mac shows available. Can this be fixed or do I return the monitor?

    Let's try again...
    my cable goes from the "Thunderball" port on my mini with an adaptor to convert it to the regular cable
    You mean the Thunderbolt port.
    What Mac mini do you have? Apple menu > About This Mac.
    What Samsung monitor do you have?
    What cables are you using?
    Have you tried holding Option and click the Scaled resolutions button in System prefs > Displays?

  • I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. It doesn't recognize my Adobe ID/password combination.

    I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook because it doesn't recognize the ID/password combination that works on the Adobe website. Please let me know if I am in the wrong community.

    Having the same issue, called B&N, have spent many hours and still no resolution.  As a work-around, I downloaded bluefire reader on my nook.  Then I used dropbox to take the book that I borrowed from the library and open in bluefire reader on my nook and that worked (still cannot see it in my nook library, but at least I can read the book).

    I had an app that crashed after updating. I deleted it from my device, then redownloaded it and reinstalled it. So you might try that. Just if you have any data tied to it make sure you save that or you'll lose it.

  • What res/screen ratio do I adjust my 13inch Macbook to so everything is seen fullscreen ( unsquashed ) when linked to a 21 inch ( 1080p) Samsung monitor please?

    Hi there,
    I have a 13 inch Macbook which I've linked up to a 21 inch Samsung monitor ( 1080 ). The second I do this, all documents on my Mac appear squashed and I cannot see them full screen ( I have to spend my whole time scrolling around to see docs fully )
    I've been into the monitor ratio in the system prefs -
    It was set to 1600 x 1200 and 1280 x 800
    It's now set to 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
    I don't even know which I should be altering.
    Ideally I'd like it all fullscreen ( widescreen ) but if I have to have it at 4:3 then I'd at least like to be able to view things fully. It seems to work fine when going fullscreen on you tube, but for office presentations and photo previews etc I can only see a portion of the original.
    Is this just something I have to get used to?? Would a differently sized monitor or even a mac monitor make it all ok?
    I'd really appreciate anyone's help,
    Jamie

    Thank you so much for replying.  However I was about to remove this post.  I worked out how to do it!
    If anyone is having similar issues then turn off mirroring and change the arrangement in display preferences so that the monitor works as the main display and the macbook just shows the desktop.  I then turned down the brightness levels on the macbook to conserve power.
    Feel very proud of myself, but thank you!

  • Is the new 27" monitor available in matte?

    Is the new 27" monitor available in matte? If not, why not?

    I still don't know what apple is thinking. The company should be catering to its base: design and publishing professionals who were always the core customers.
    At least offer a damned alternative. I have a beautiful macbook pro, a stainless steel G5 tower, and now i'm going to have to buy a Samsung monitor so i don't have to peer through the reflections of everything in my studio when trying to work?
    I've loved apple for a long time. I've been 'exclusive.' But, my 'devotion' ends with this silliness. Bad enough on my laptop, but 27 inches of an immovable mirror is just stupidity.
    Is anyone at Apple reading this, or do we have to have a 50 page thread to warrant some attention?

  • Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27

    Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27 inch with HDMI to thunderbolt port adapter but works like a charm in Windows 7 when I bootcamp over to it. Any ideas? The cable is working properly as shown by the fact that Windows 7 uses both monitors perfectly. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion and have already done the option + cmd + p + r boot reset to no avail. It does not find the second monitor at all as in it doesn't even show up in the display preference pane.

    Arguably, they're both right.
    Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
    As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
    Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

  • Displays in System Preferences blank with new Samsung LCD

    On my G4, which has an ATI Rage Pro 16 MB AGP card and an ATI Rage PCI card installed, I now get a blank displays control panel since connecting a new Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor to either card. The second monitor is a Gateway EV700. If I disconnect one monitor, I get the displays panel back, as soon as I reconnect and restart, it is blank again. I obviously cannot rearrange monitors, although I can change resolutions in my displays icon in the menu bar.
    I purchased the AGP card and installed it after installing OS 10.3.9, although when I had an old Apple 720 monitor connected the displays panel worked fine. I have tried connecting the Samsung with both a DVI and a VGA cable (has both options) and nothing works to fix the problem.
    Short of re-installing the OS, does anyone know a fix?

    Thanks Grant.
    I tried this as well, still no luck though, I still get a blank panel.
    I took a chance and put the ATI Displays software on the machine, and still the displays panel is blank. The ATI cards still see the monitors and identify them correctly in the ATI control panel installed in system prefs.
    At this point I think I just have to live with it, or try installing Tiger, which I have been contemplating. I am a little hesitant though as Tiger hogs a bit more ram and is a larger installation; plus the G4 is an old machine and other than this problem runs everything very well.

  • New External Monitor for Logic on MacBook Pro - Suggestions

    I'm in the painful process of updating my studio and now my large screen external monitor has started failing.
    I know if this a pretty general question more suited to the MacBook Pro forum but I'd like some input from folks used to working with an application like Logic in a home studio environment.
    I guess the issue for me is that I'm not getting any younger and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. One of the things specific to Logic and music software in general is that there are LOTS of very detailed dialog boxes with text that is not always height adjustable (yes I know about zooming and indeed I do lots of that but it gets quite distracting). The other factor is that I'm often recording and engineering myself which means I'll be sitting with a guitar in my lap or at a keyboard and can't always lean in too close to the monitor.
    I solved this by buying a large 26" Acer which sits on my desk behind the Mackie MCU. To my left I've got the MacBook 15.4" Pro on a keyboard stand above my MIDI controller at a 45 degree angle to the desk.
    It's worked quite well until the Acer seems to have become haunted. It will mysteriously reboot itself intermittently, going blank for a second, then showing the Acer logo and going back to picture. It will also turn itself on spontaneously when the computer is off (the status light is off and then turns itself on). It seems to detect when I'm in the middle of a really good session and starts resetting itself every 30 seconds or so. Then it will work fine sometimes for days or weeks at a time. I've checked it on 4 different computers, it malfunctions on all. I believe in may be a problem with one of the capacitors or the inverter, I'm not sure, but it's driving CRAZY at this point.
    And of course now it's 3 months out of warranty and may be more expensive to fix than buying a new one.
    So my issue is what monitor to replace it with. I've considered buying an Apple monitor, since the display is lovely to look at but there are a couple things that are deal breakers.
    It's expensive. Very expensive.
    Oddly you have to choose between a 24" and a 30", with nothing in between. Don't want to sound like Goldilocks here, but the 24 is tooooo small and the 30 is tooooo big.
    Yeah I know bigger is usually better but since they bumped the native resolution of the 30" up to 2560x1600 it's really sharp but things like the menu text get really quite small. Yes you can reset to a lower non native resolution, but then you loose the sharpness. I tested Logic in the store on the 30" and it did look great but I found I actually had to move my whole body around to see things at the top and bottom of the screen.
    Oh and did I mention that it's expensive? Jeez.
    The 24" now seems to look a bit small to me after using the same resolution (1920x1200) on the Acer's 26" screen. (Ok, I think it's actually 25.5 but hey that half an inch can make a big difference and I will avoid making any bad jokes here).
    And did I mention the Apple monitors are expensive? The 24" is almost 3 times as expensive as a cheaper alternative.
    I also still have a PC here that I use (sorry) and the Apple monitors have very limited connectivity. So I think unfortunately the Apple monitors are out for me.
    So I;m down to a couple other non Apple options. I will not buy an Acer again since I believe now that their quality control is not good and their support is absolutely atrocious. Shame I used to be a big fan of Acer PC's, but after owning a couple I'm steering clear.
    My biggest issue right now is that most of the new budget monitors are geared toward 1080p HD uses so they are they are maxing out at 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio instead of 1920x1200's 16:10). So the tradeoff here is that HD movies will look better in 16:9, but 16:10 gives you "squarer" pixels and more vertical resolution for screen hungry apps like Logic.
    Any opinions on this? I'm a bit new to the Mac so I don't know if I'm really better off going with a 1920x1200 screen like the Apple monitors.
    Also, I know this may just be a bug in the Acer's scaling, but if I switch to 1920x1080, I lose the menus off the top of the screen or if I adjust the vpos I lose the dock at the bottom. Downscaling to 1600x1050 or even 1024x768 works fine. If I get a 1080 screen and set the resolution appropriately will it work correctly and without too much distortion?
    I'm also curious what is the best way to hook up the monitor? I'm currently using the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the MacBook. My Pro is the slighter older silver keyboard model so it has the standard DVI out. Will I see any real improvement by going over to using DVI directly?
    Also I'm wondering how people feel about glossy vs matte for music. My current displays are the non-glossy and I do think I prefer them for detail work.
    The candidates right now are
    Hanns-G HH-281HPB 28" @300$. It's one of the only budget monitors that uses 1920x1200. All the right inputs (DVI, VGA). I'm just afraid this might be a bit too good to be true. It's really cheap and after having problems with a "cheap" Acer (although it wasn't so cheap 3 years ago!) I don't want similar problems. Stand has no swivel or tilt (a big problem for my use). Also that resolution on such a big screen might be good for me or it might look grainy I don't know I haven't seen it. Anybody have any experience with these?
    Samsung P2770H 27" @339 Looks nice, good color. Sadly only 1080 native resolution. Stand doesn't swivel, but does tilt. No VGA input, so won't work with my old PC (although strangely it says it comes with a VGA cable). They get generally good reviews and I know Samsung makes very good flat panel TV's.
    ViewSonic X Series VX2739WM 27" @350. Once again maxes out at 1080. It's fast (1ms), has VGA input. I've never been a big fan of ViewSonic but they do seem to have gotten better color-wise. Tilt no swivel and it's anti-glare (not sure this is a plus).
    There are also similar options from HP, Asus, LG and Sceptre but they are all 1080. In fact outside of the Apples, the Hanns-G and a few expensive monitors from NEC they all seem to be 1080. So if I really want the 1200 the Hanns-G seems like the only way to go.
    Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

    No doubt, the Apple displays are gorgeous. The first time I saw the 30" display wow, I wanted one BAD and it's actually what prompted me to buy a "big" monitor. The colors are great with a rich wonderful saturation level and as usual for Apple the form factor design is stunning. You know for that picture quality I could even get over the sticker shock and save up for one.
    Which is why I was so disappointed when I actually sat down in the store and started to use Logic on one. I imagine for doing video work, graphic design or darn near anything else, it would be great. But for Logic I just found myself bending and twisting trying to look at toolbar at the bottom and then up to look at the menus. And instrument or plugin displays that were hard coded to look OK at lower resolutions looked really, really tiny to me. For me and particularly using Logic having 2 slightly smaller displays at a 45 degree angle makes more sense.
    And once again the 24 seems just a bit small. I don't understand why they have a 27" iMac but you can't buy a 27" display. So iMac 27" starting at 1699, subtract out the cost of the CPU and drive ie the Mini and I'd really buy one. Strangely you can buy a 21.5" or a 27" iMac. Or you can buy a 24" or 30" display. Hmmmm.
    So don't get me wrong I'm not bashing Apple for being expensive. They put a lot of money into R&D and into really thinking about the form and the function of their products. As a recent convert from being a PC developer for 25+ years, hey I've more than sipped the Kool-Aid here, I've guzzled it. They make great products and yeah they're more expensive, because they ARE better! I've now got 2 MBP's, 2 iPods, I'm about to get an iPhone (silly "death grip" or not) and I really want an iPad. Heck I'd really love an 8 core MacPro if I could afford one (alas I can't).
    I guess my only gripe here is that there always seems to be a little less choice in the Apple world. Yeah, I know they do a lot less volume than the PC clone world I just think that they always seem to have a big gap between the high end and low end with not enough in between. So you can choose between the lower end and one piece units with no expansion boards (the mini or the iMac) or go straight to monster tower MacPro (way over 3K with display). You can get a MacBook but then you have to put up with a small screen or go with MacBook Pro, which let's face it is a lot of computing power for someone who just wants to web surf and write some email without squinting.
    So here I am stuck in the middle. I don't want to buy a HannspreeQG or another piece of junk that's going to last 3 years and 3 months because of a crappy $2 capacitor that no seems to able to fix or care about fixing. I'd like to buy a really nice Apple monitor, I just want a big monitor, not a huge one and not a "medium" one (I know I'm spoiled but 24" seems "medium" these days).
    Sorry about the rant here but my monitor is shutting down every 30 seconds and I'm about to go completely insane and toss it out the window!!!
    Really glad to hear about that 84' VGA cable. I never imagined such a thing existed or would work without some sort of signal boost on the way. Very cool for me. My electronic drum kit is in another room and I would love to have a small cheap monitor next to it for sequencing. I had my laptop on a stand next to it for a while but I began to get terrified that I'd let a drumstick slip and destroy my laptop screen. That would be a very bad thing. Thanks for the tip.

  • Connecting Macbook to new Samsung LCD

    Apologies if its been asked before but I cant figure out the technical mumbo jumbo
    I have a C2D Macbook with Leopard and now want to connect it to my new Samsung 26 LCD to watch videos which have been stored on my mac.
    I know I have to buy a chord for that (which one) but will the picture quality be okay? The Samsung model is LA26A450C1 and it has a resolution of 1366 x 768. Do I have to plug it in AV or HDMI and is my LCD compatible with the macbook?
    Again, sorry for such a basic question.
    Message was edited by: Tanya Palta

    You have three optional adapters to get the video signal out of the MacBook through the built-in mini-DVI port:
    mini-DVI to DVI, chained with an additional DVI to HDMI adapter/cable, for the best digital signal. (recommended option)
    mini-DVI to VGA, for an analog signal with a VGA/Dsub15 computer monitor cable.
    mini-DVI to Video (either S-Video or Composite) for an analog signal, usually for PAL or NTSC equipment.
    you will also need to run an audio cable from the little headphone jack on the MacBook to a AUX line-input on your stereo or TV.

  • Xorg 1.5.3, nvidia twinview won't use samsung monitor

    I've had a dual head setup going for sometime with no issues, but just got a
    new monitor that I can not get working with X. I'm currently using nvida
    drivers version 180.22
    I have a laptop docked with the laptop screen and a second monitor as my dual head config, it's been great, but something isn't working right with this new monitor. The monitor is a samsung SyncMaster 2493hm, and I've read some things about the Samsung monitors sending incorrect edid info so that may be the issue, but I have no idea how to fix that. The behavior is odd because it appears that x server is spanning both screens as if twinview is correctly setup, but the Samsung monitor never comes on.
    I have verified that the monitor works, and works in a dual head configuration both on windows and other linux distro's. My friend has the exact same laptop/monitor setup under ubuntu and it works perfectly for him. Even using HIS xorg.conf didn't work so I am really at a loss.
    any help is greatly appreciated.
