Display resolution options with GeForce 5200 Ultra

I have asked this question before but received no anwers so I am trying again.
If you connect a widescreen display to this grphics card, using DVI, in the list of resolution choices in Display Preferences, Are there any options that will allow the use of a widescreen display so it does not distort horizontally? e.g. If drawing a circle in Illustrator or Photoshop will it be a regular circle or end up displaying as an oval?
Not sure which display to go for but am sure this must apply to using an Apple Cinema 20 or 23 in display. Displays I was thinking of using (16:10 ratio) have a native digital display of 1680 × 1050.
Thanks for any help.

Any display up to 1920 x 1200 should work. When run at native resolution, there should be no distortion.

24" Imac only showing 2 display resolution options

Within the past week something changed after running a Mac software update that resulted in only having 2 display resolution options. The display choices now are limited to 1900 X 1200 and 960 X 600. I think this happened after having a Mac software update. I don't know what the updates were other then they were suggested as part of the automatic software updates check.
Running OS X Lion version 10.7.4.
Graphics = NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128 MB.
I have rebooted and checked for additional updates put still only seeing 2 choices.
Is anyone else having this problem or ideas why all the other resolution options disappeared?
Thanks

Thanks for quick response. I looked as suggested but those listed are older issues and not recent new events. I guess I will sit back and see if there is a new update coming that fixes issue. Really madding not being able to re-set resolution to one that I have been using for years.
If anyone else knows background/input on why resolution options would go from at least if not more then 10 to now only having 2 would be great.
Thanks again.

Lost display resolution options when installing 10.4.6 with 20" monitor

I recently installed an upgrade using black retail DVD 10.4.6 from 10.2.8, and now i only have one option for display resolution (256 colors). The screen is gray??? I can restart using 9.2 Classic and the screen display is just fine (thousands & millions of colors). I did the disk utility and permission fix prior to and before installation. I also updated the firmware. I tried to download 10.4.8 combo update, but the license agreement can't be 'agreed to' because the button will not appear on the low resolution screen. Do i have to initialize the whole disk? The Monitor is a 20" Display (the large blue monster). Since it was working with 10.2.8 and still works under 9.2 Classic reboot, i doubt whether its a hardware problem.. Any ideas?

I wonder if it could be the Voodoo5 Dfx video card that's bn not compatible with 10.4.8?? It workds with 10.2.

Only one display resolution option for monitor

I just installed a new SSD in my computer, and then installed SL onto the drive. I have an Asus monitor, and Display Preferences on the SL install on the older HD gave me a variety of screen resolutions to choose from. But on the SSD install I only have one option (1280x800). What do I need to do to get a wider range of resolution options (including one that will look right with this monitor)? Thanks.

Which computer? What did you use to install Snow Leopard, a retail version or the disks from another machine?

Other display resolution options

I've just bought a 19" widescreen display to go with a (planned) new mini. In the meantime I've hooked it up to my G4 iBook.
Question is: is there any way of working around the standard resolution options in the Display Preferences. 1024x768 gives me a stretched image on the external screen. If there's no way of setting other options (the screen has a max of 1400x900), is it at least possible to make it 'lose' a bit of screen space at the sides and use a little less territory, but in the right proportions?
I know this is not the forum, but does anyone happen to know whether I'm likely to have the same problem with a new Mini (I'm assuming it has a much more flexible driver).

I'm sorry to anyone who has fumed about the stupidity of my previous question.
I've found an option within the monitor set up - 'expand to fill full screen' - which was switched on. When switched off, everything appears with normal proportions.
Hopefully the information will still be of use to other visitors.

Geforce 5200 or Geforce 5200 ultra ?????

Aperture 1.5 on my Rev A iMac 20" G5 reports my video card (GeForce 5200) as NOT compatible after I installed the upgrade. How I got to this point you will need to review the other recent postings for the instructions.

Display resolution problem with Lightroom 5 on a laptop

I installed Lightroom 5 on my older Lenovo laptop with 12080x768 native screen resolution. This meets the minimum display requirements, BUT... When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes. This problem occurs with other Lightroom windows also. So I can not use Lightroom 5 on this laptop. Any idea how to solve the problem?

as long as your computer meets lr5's specs, no.

Display resolution problems with Snow Leopard

I have a 'PC' monitor that when using Leopard worked with the correct resolution at the correct proportions (I'm after 1400 x 960) but since I've installed Snow Leopard that resolution is only available intermittently. I've just switched my Mac on this morning an it's reverted to 800x600.
I don't really want to mess around with apps like SwitchRes, for fear of messing it all up.
I sthere a solution?

Regarding display resolution options on the latest model

I just purchased the the latest model. I've been using Mac for a few years and in each version there has been a "streched" option available for some of the resolutions. I've got too used to that. Right now it's set on 1024 * 640. Is there any way to get the "streched" option to show up?
Thanks in advance for your help.

HT5313 Does this fix the display resolutions issue with he 24" iMac?

10.7.4 only allows 2 resolutions - neither correct - on the 24" iMac. Does 10.7.5 fix this?

and I must have sent 20+ crash reports
if you have crash reports, then you have a different problem than the one that freezes 20" imacs while scrolling in iTunes, most likely you have a corrupted update, or corrupted iTunes data...
both can be deduced, by a clean install from your original system disks... (after you back up everything, and make sure you have it all, and it is good data)...
the simplest thing to try is to put your iTunes library somewhere else... (a back up would be a good place)...
then reinstall from your system disks, then download the combo updater, and update from that to 10.5.6... once you have that, only put a couple pieces of data into your iTunes library, and use that for a while to see if you have a crash....
if no crashes, then it was either a corrupted install, or corrupted data in your iTunes library...
if no crashes for a while, put 1/4 of your iTunes library back where it is supposed to be... and keep using it to see if there are crashes...
if you do get a crash after moving anything in, take it back out, and check for a while for crashes...
then you can isolate corrupted data that way.

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp. Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

Which two displays on Geforce FX 5200 ultra are possible?

Hi,
I have a Powermac g5 2x2 ghz (2004) Geforce FX 5200 (ultra?) videocard with two 17 inch monitors. I would like to chance one (or maybe both) into a bigger one, maybe a 24 inch. Is this possible and what is important to look at ? And what is the max screen size and resulution this card can have on two monitors? I red somewhere the max res is 1600x1200 and 22 or 24 inch monitors need support for 1920x1080?
Thx in advance. Ron.

Hi-
The Geforce 5200 supports digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels.
A LCD monitor with DVI input up to 24" is no problem.
I red somewhere the max res is 1600x1200
That is for analog, not digital.
