Display Settings for Gaming on MBP

I'm playing Half Life 2...it auto sets everything, but it defaults into 4:3 mode, should I not be in widescreen mode?
It has options for 16x9 and 16x10...should I go with one of those or stick with the 4:3? The 4:3 mode seems to be stretched to fit already though at 1078 x 768.
On 16 x 10 mode, there is an option for 1440 x 900...Is that what I should be using?
Sorry for the noob questions

I use the 16:10 and the 1440 x 900 setting.
Wonderful to look at... except for some of the creepy looking bad guys.

VmWare Display settings for guest OS Win7 Pro and others not saving

Mid-2014 MBP 15" with Retina, Intel iris Pro, 16GB, 512SSD. Running vmWare 7.1.2 on Yosemite 10.1.2:
- Win7 Pro VM setup with 8GB, 2 'cores', 128GB SSD.
- the Display settings for the Win7 Pro guest won't persist when switching to and from Mac desktop
- Doesn't matter if Full Screen or in Window, it defaults to 1140 x 900 or something like that, and will not keep settings made after Full Screen is selected
- Having done some research before coming here: I have uninstalled and re-installed vmTools. I have tried it with 'Use Full Retina Display' setting in vmWare guest settings, doesn't make a difference other than the default size is either the maximum Retina resolution for the Win7 Pro desktop or the 1440x900 default when the 'Use Retina..' setting is set.
- Apparently this is an Apple bug with Retina MBP and not vmWare, according to vmWare. ;}
Thought, suggestions, other?
Thanks folks!

Now having worked with VMware support. Here's the fix for anyone experiencing this problem on a rMBP with Fusion 7.x and running Win7Pro or others as guests, that are not retaining the display settings when either rebooting the guest, pausing the guest or switching between the Mac desktop and the GuestOS desktop.
1. Find a file named WMwareResolutionSet it can be located under ProgramFiles or ProgramFile(x86)-->VMware-->VMware Tools-->
2. Move, do not copy, this file out of this directory, onto your Desktop
3. Restart the Guest
4. Whatever resolution settings you have set, should now be retained
This assumes you have already UN-checked 'Use Full Resolution..' Retina display checkbox in VMware Settings-->Display.

Has the underscan feature been removed from the display settings for a projector in 10.8.2 for any reason or is this an oversight

Hi
Does anyone know if there is another way to find the underscan feature in display settings for Mac OSX 10.8.2 other than through the display settings. We set up our ceiling mounted prjectors at the start of September when we moved into our new school building at a significant cost. The projectors linked to the teacher's Imac projected onto the interactive whiteboards at the front of the classroom perfectly on 10.8.1. We recently updated to 10.8.2 and now the projected image no longer fits on to the boards and is about 2 feet higher up to the wall. The underscan feature is not available to drop this any ideas.
Moving projectors is not an option due to the cost of bringing in the contractor to extend the ceiling mounts.
thanks

We have an SR raised which is now with development, but so far we have not been able to pin down what is causing this.
Basically we see entries end up on the recovery queue with nothing written in any logs, even if we increase the level of logging to debug.
This does not happen under load, the exact opposite. If nothing is going on and then we get 5-10 processes start, we see about 1% end on the queue. I pushed 500,000 messages through it last weekend and nothing ended up on the queue, yet a run on Monday of just 100 caused 2 entries on the queue with no explaination.
I have tried everything I can think of, but so far have not been able to re-create the condition at will, it is completely non-deterministic. It also happens on all 5 of our rigs, so it is not machine specific.
I have tuned the BPEL engine and it easily copes with our throughput. We are running with a 10g dehydration store, either single instance or active-passive depending on environment, but I do not think this is going to be causing an issue.
We have about 20 async processes and sub-processes and the problem can occur at any point, although mostly on Invoke and Callback. Each process contains a mixture of async (to BPEL), sync (to External) and a reasonably number of database adapters in each process.
It is not the fact it is placing the entry on the queue that is my issue, it is the fact we have no idea WHY it has ended there as there are no log entries.
Any ideas what else I can try?

Restore display settings for MBP- where is preference?

I have a MBP and was playing around with the display settings and messed it up and now want to restore it. I have Time Machine set up- where do I go to find the setting and restore it to what it was yesterday? What folder is it in? Thanks (again), Judy

Got it restored to what it was...... Judy

Is the MacBook Pro with retina display good for gaming?

I was looking at the MacBooks and I was thinking about the one with retina display. I wanted to know if it was good for gaming also. Just something like skyrim or maybe WOW.

If you're not a heavy gamer, then yes it will be great.
I play WoW at full retina display with the performance I noted above - if you have trouble, you could always revert to 1440x900 just for WoW and Skyrim.
I know WoW lets you choose a resolution within the game so nothing wo worry about outside - not sure about Skyrim but maybe so?
I am a light gamer. I used to have a 2011 MBA, just an off the shelf model with no upgrades, and it played WoW very well for its size etc.
An iMac would be great too. For the price of a rMBP you could go for an iMac for games/home use and a base spec MBA for working on outside...?
However iMacs are pretty outdated atm - not allowed to say much on here but might wanna wait for something to happen...

What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
Thanks

I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
It runs premiere like a dream.

Trouble with display settings for projector/Reactable

Hi,
I'm trying to install a musical hardware interface called the Reactable for use with my iMac, and I'm having trouble getting the correct display settings. It's designed to work with laptops and it works fine for the most part with my Apple Hackintosh, but I can't seem to get it working correctly with my iMac. The tech support from the Reactable company recommends that I use 1600x1200 resolution or 1024x768 (native) on the projector, but when I open my display settings I am not presented with either of those options. It only permits me to use 1024x768 and 1024x768 (stretched).
The only instance in which I can get the projection to cover the whole table is with 1024x768, but then the projection is too large. Do I need to change the scaling somehow? How do I do that?
Thanks,
Justin

1080p. If you have a Mac Mini with an HDMI connector, connect direct through there.
Otherwise you'll need to look at either: Which Macs don't have audio over mini-Displayport connectivity, need either an
Apogee DVI To HDMI Converter / SPDIF Optical Toslink+Coaxial Input Output if you have a mini-DVI or DVI (The left connector is DVI, and the right connector is mini-DVI) connector and it is Intel.
Kanex iAdapt Displayport adaptor if you have a mini-Displayport ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Mini_DisplayPort_on_App le_MacBook.jpg/300px-Mini_DisplayPort_on_Apple_MacBook.jpg
) connector.
Note, thunderbolt connectors look the same as mini-Displayport except they have the lightning icon symbol.
PowerPC Mac Minis, need a StarTech DVI2HDMIA connector together with an RCA minijack to red and white splitter cable.

How do you add additional resolution options in the display settings for the MacbookPro?

I am using a Dell external monitor with my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch. The resolution is 1900x1200 which is not one of the display selections for an external monitor in the Macbook settings. How do I update the display settings to support this monitor?

Wanting to change WRT54g settings for gaming......

I want to be able to hook up and run wifi(wireless gaming or for that matter anything else wireless) through the wireless router. I am not sure on where to start and or how hard it would be to change things. I have one computer hooked up wireless and don't want to screw things up with that conection. Or if the changes are pretty easy where can i get help on changing things? Thanks.. John

hi....you can make a few changes on the router without disrupting the current wireless PC....hardwire the router to your PC....open up the router setup page using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the default password.....once in, click on the wireless tab and then on advanced wireless settings .....reduce the beacon interval to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each.....save settings....
u should be good to go

How do change the display settings such as color temperature and backlight brightness on an iMac monitor?

My wife has an iMac (I don't know any other way to identify it e.g. model number), and she has this 3rd party calibration software that I'm trying to use. I am not used to a Mac, and I cannot find the display settings for the monitor. There are no buttons on the monitor, and when I go to preferences, I can only find the brightness control. I've googled this and cannot find a clear, simple answer. I have used every version of Windows (currently on 8.1 on my PC) and it's easy for me on that platform. I suppose it's just that I don't really know how to navigate Mac OS.

ItsameMatt03,
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Color.
Click Calibrate.Display Calibrator Assistant walks you through calibrating your display, then creates a calibrated color profile.For a more detailed calibration of your display, select the Expert Mode checkbox, which is at the bottom of the introductory text in the assistant.When the display profile is ready, it’s automatically assigned as your display’s color profile.

Restoring original iMac color/display settings??

I was tinkering around with the display calibration and somewhere along the way the original display calibration was saved over and now I'm stuck with several versions of displays which all feature too much light. The places this is most obvious are on the brushed metal interfaces, where it appears there is a light source centered on the window, making a lighter colored reflection of sorts. I was hoping to restore the original settings for the display, but have been unsuccessful on my attempts so far. If anyone can help me out before my retinas detach, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, it appears that one of the profiles I changed was the factory setting, and the original factory setting has been saved over. One less than perfect solution I've come up with is creating a new account. The display settings for this "Test" account I set up and have begun using more and more has the original calibration set up and looks perfect. An interesting observation is that the other profiles I set up are accessible from this account, and when chosen look much closer to normal than in the previous account, where it was as if the white point or brightness was increased quite a bit, creating almost a white-out effect on the brushed metal interfaces, aqua buttons, and worst of all webpages with whites and grays (like apple.com), where I could barely make out the silhouette of the Mighty mouse.
If anyone has an alternative way to restore the current account's display settings to the old account, please let me know b/c I would hate to have to complete this transition to an entirely new account.
Thanks again.
- Billy
