Display resolution problem

For some reason I can't adjust the screen resolution so that the display doesn't look so pixilated. I have the display setting to the "recommended" and highest ratio 1280 x 800.  But images still don't look smooth but pixilated as though I am using reduced resolution. I have checked to make sure my display driver is up-to-date too. 
Thanks!

No one has any recommendations on how to fix this?

  • Is anyone experience display resolution problems on MBP15"I7 after OS Lion install?

    I installed OS Lion on my MacBook pro 15" one week ago. I have installed the 10.7.1 update. Like many, I have experienced a dramatic slowdown in performance  - Aperture is now unusable. My most immediate problem is that the display has lost its sharpness - I have tried all the resolution options in System preferences/displays. Non of the  options available on display resolution allow the diplay to align to the screen paramenters and all leave the text and graphics slightly unfocussed. Is this a common problem, and are there solutions out there? Many thanks.

  • External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

    Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
    So did the refresh rate option...
    What do I do?
    I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
    REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

    After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

  • Windows 7 display resolution problem on iMac 27"

    Hi, I have an iMac 27" that is running bootcamp with Windows 7.  The resolution on the OS X is fine, but on the Windows 7 side, it is messed up.  The display resolution choices make the screen look all stretched and weird; I cannot select the same resolution as I have on the OSX side.  The display drivers say that they are generic, so I tried installing manufactuer's drivers.  That did not work since they couldn't detect the correct monitor.  I've run software update on he Mac OSX side, but to no avail.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks!

    updates for osx will not affect windows
    in osx one can make a packet with all drivers required for bootcamp windows do that
    and if you need drivers for windows download the mobile version what amd/ati and nvidia call desktop videocards
    are not the type used in imacs they use the laptop versions

  • Macbook Pro 13 inch & External Display - resolution problem

    Hi
    I'm trying to connect my macbook pro 13inch to an NEC 26' Multisync display - which has a native resolution of 1900 x 1200 - and when connected to a PC this is what I get. When I connect the mac though the top resolution is 1900 x 1080 - so the display is distorted.
    I've tried finding diplay drivers for the monitor and graphics card without success. Apparently the GEForce 9400 graphics in the macbook can output up to 2500 x 1600.
    I'm wondering if it's the connection method - I'm using the mini display to VGA adapter that I got with the macbook. Do I need to use the alternative adapter - the mini display port to DVI adapter? Seems this is needed for connection to 'advanced' displays. Will this make any difference or is it that the macbook 13 inch can't output to a 26in display?
    Any advice or assistance will be greatly appreciated
    Many Thanks

    I would get the DVI regardless.
    Your taking a digital signal from the macbook, converting to to anolage VGA, and the the monitor is converting it back to digital again to display on the screen.
    DVI will make it direct digital to digital.
    Plus, because DVI is digital, is passes resolution information. So you should get your native resolution no problem.

  • Display Resolution problems

    I have a 17" MacBook pro with Lion on it as of 3 days ago. Been working fine until I connected my 30" display to it. When I connected it, the display went all wonky. I rebooted, disconnected, many combination of each. Now my MBP will not even display at full resolution when disconnected from the external monitor. Scoured this forum and the internet for similar problems, and while I found multiple issues relating to displays with a Lion upgrade, I did not see any issues specifically with screen resolution.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Capt,
    Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately not the solution. I have the two screens in extend mode, and both at max resolution (2560x1600 for the 30" and 1920x1200 for the laptop display).
    It seems the computer is having difficulties fitting the screen onto the monitor, like it does when you select a resolution that is too large for your monitor. The entire screen is being rendered, but I have to pan right and down to see the whole thing. When I have the external display connected (as main screen), I can see part of it on the laptop display. So the rendering is working... it just cant display at the correct resolution.

  • 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?

  • 10.8.3 display resolution problem

    Heya. My monitor resolution has been working fine on my mid 2010 MacMini without any problems since 2010.
    Since the 10.8.3 update my screen resolution keeps resetting itself to 800 x 600 after waking from sleep. When I go to the Displays system pref there is a (new to me at least) option 'Best for Display' that is selected. When I select the Scaled option my monitor resolution (1680 x 1050, which i have been using successfully for years) is not listed.
    I have tried the following steps:
    1. Using the monitor's Auto/Set button to re-set the resolution
    2. Reset the system PRAM
    At this stage the only way to get the monitor resolution back is to restart the machine.
    Specs:
    Mid 2010 MacMini (2.4GHz Intel Core Duo)
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB
    4Gb RAM
    LG Flatron W2242S 23" monitor
    Connected to Mac via VGA adaptor into Display Port.
    Any thoughts would be gratefully received, thanks
    Mark

    I found a fix. If your desired monitor resolution isn't available, hold the Option button in the Displays prefs and a 'Detect Displays' button magically appears at the bottom right of the window (by the ? button). This gave me the 1680x1050 resolution that I needed.
    Not sure exactly why you need to press to Option button for Detect Displays to appear, but there you go!

  • 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?

  • I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

    I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
    Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
    I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all  the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

    Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.

  • Problems with the display resolution on Android

    We have a problem with the display resolution on our Google Nexus 7 (2013) and our Multi-Folio-App. If we watch an article inside our published Multi-Folio-App, the article does not use the full screen of the tablet. But when I look the article inside the content viewer, it use the full screen of the tablet. For your information: We use the resolution of 1280 x 800 and the tablet has the highest resolution of 1920 x 1200.
    However, under iOS it works without problems. We use the iPad 4 (2048 x 1536) with the article resolution of 1024 x 720. Do you have any idea what we can do? Under this post, you can find two screenshots which discribe the problem.

    Scaling was introduced in v28:
    from http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/whats-new-release.html#what_s_new_in_ this_release
    Content on Android devices scaled up
    In previous releases, smaller renditions in Android apps were not scaled up, causing both letterboxing and pillarboxing. With v28 AIR-based Android apps, smaller renditions are now scaled up proportionally.

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.

  • Leopard "Forgets" External Display Resolution

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro C2D (Oct 2006 revision) that I use at work with an external display (Dell E197FP) that is connected to the laptop via the DVI-to-VGA adaptor. The Dell has a native display resolution of 1280*1024 @60Hz and this is set via the System Preference's Display panel. The problem is that quite often when I connect the display in the morning OS X (10.5.6, at present) "forgets" the resolution that has been set and reverts back to its default for the display, which is 1152*864 @75Hz. It is baffling to me that it keeps forgetting the selected resolution for the display, despite recognising it, and that it selects such an odd resolution as a default. This happens about once per week at the moment.
    Does anyone have an idea what is causing this and how I can stop OS X from being so forgetful?

    Are you getting one to extend your desktop? I don't, I use my MacBook with the screen off using my external only with a keyboard and mouse plugged in. I run my Late 2008 2.1GHz MacBook with a GMA X3100 using a 23" Samsung wide ratio no problem in 1680x1050. It is high resolution. Make sure you click "mirror" in Display Prefs. Be certain that you don't simply boot to both because the external will appear grainy and only be putting out the native 1280 X 800 13" MacBook resolution on the new big LCD. There are many different ways to achieve this. With the LCD on and hooked to the MacBook, turn the MacBook on then quickly close lid after the chime. Give it some time. After it boots to the external, I open the lid to provide proper airflow, some may argue it's not needed.
