DVI, HDMI resolutions supported in MBP
What should I look for when buying new LCD monitor/tv to connect to MBP? Uncertain about resolutions supported. I have ATI Mobility Radeon X1600. I am looking at Samsung with 1080p, 1920x1200. Will this work and do I use DVI or HDMI connections?
Where possible I'd go with an HDMI connection, as long as your Samsung does true 1080p resolution 1920x1200 will be fine (and is supported). ((Some things advertised as HD aren't truly 1080))

Macbookpro dvi-hdmi resolution
Hello
I have a dvi to hdmi connection and I connect it to my tv, now the picture only takes a small bit of my actual laptop screen. the tv is 1920x1020, so i set it to that on the laptop and the macbook as its usual size but as I said the tv only picks up a small area of my macbook screen.
can anyone help?
also, how can i set the screen not to sleep or dim when i am running a program that i dont necessarily have to touch to operate.
graciasThe MacBook Pro is connected to a Sony Bravia KDL-40S2000's "PC IN" port.
Here are more details:
If I use a DVI-to-HDMI connection, OS X identifies the display as "KDL-40S2000" and I get the following resolutions:
1920 x 1080 (1080i but with black side borders)
1280 x 720 (720p, perfect fit)
However with an HDMI connection, the picture quality is overly sharp. I can see jaggies and occasional artifacts in movies. Some letters on the desktop are not that readable. This leads me to believe that this TV is not ready for a DVI-to-HDMI connection. (HDMI to HDMI connection from my Samsung DVD player is fantastic though.)
Now, if I use a DVI-to-RGB connection (thanks to the adapter included with the MBP plus an old monitor's cable), OS X identifies the display as "Sony TV" and I get the following resolution:
1360x768
It's a perfect fit. The picture quality is perfect. Screen fonts and other graphical elements have perfect edges and very readable. In other words, my TV has become this huge LCD monitor.
So at least for this Sony-Apple pair, analog quality is much, much better and is the recommended connection. -
[Solved] A75A-G35 gives no video signal over HDMI, resolution over DVI limited
Hello community,
following problem: I have been using my A75A-G35 board with an A4-3400 Llano APU, the APU has been connected to a 19" BenQ FP91GP monitor via a DVI cable. I got its maximum resolution of 1280x1024 with no issues.
Now I have purchased a 24" Dell U2415 monitor with a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 and wanted to connect it to my computer. However, I got stuck:
1. I get no signal whatsoever using the HDMI output and a HDMI>HDMI cable. I have tested a different computer and connected it to the Dell with the same cable successfully, so the cable and the monitor should be fine.
edit: Disregard the following as the problem with the DVI cable appears also with the other computer. The problem is therefore just the fact that the HDMI output of the board doesn't work!
2. I get a signal with a DVI>DVI cable + DVI>HDMI adapter. I can access the BIOS, the boot manager and see the boot screen, however once the desktop should be displayed the screens turns black and the monitor keeps switching to standby and back on again, the screen staying black all the time, however. But before installing the driver package (for chipset and video, downloaded from the MSI website), I could see the desktop with a resolution of 800x600. Also, if I boot into safe mode, I can see the desktop and increase the resolution up to 1280x1024. Higher resolutions up to 1600x1200 are available, however selecting any of them results in severe screen flickering.
3. If I boot my Linux install, I have almost the same behaviour. I see the boot messages but then the screen turns black when the desktop should appear. However, if I connect the old BenQ monitor to the VGA port, I get a signal on both screens, however both screens have the resolution 1280x1024 and I cannot increase the resolution of the Dell, because if I try to, the screen turns black again. Lower resolutions than 1280x1024 are possible, though. Note that the "second monitor trick" does only work with Linux, with Windows I get only a black screen on both monitors.
As a side note, the DVI cable I'm using is a DVI-D single link, so the maximum resolution it supports is actually exactly the resolution of the Dell, 1920x1200.
Thanks for any hint,
Photonyour welcome!
when you said your problem and the symptoms I thought that board sounded familiar as alot of people when it first came out that we had to explain that to them so I had a look and yes it had the jumpers to switch ports for its digital display display signal to be routed to another port so i thought that was the cause!
have fun with your board now you have it in HDMI mode! -
GT120 DVI- HDMI not showing native resolution
I'm having issues getting my new Quad 2.66 Mac Pro with the stock GT 120 card to work with my LG L246WP HDMI display. I'm using a DVI->HDMI adapter (same I used with an older iMac without issue) and now it only shows HDTV supported resolutions. I had to use a 3rd party piece of software to force it to see 1920x1200.
Also, now windows in bootcamp won't work either using the DVI->HDMI but works with DVI->VGA! What I don't understand is that my older iMac with a ATI 2600 chip ran extended desktop and bootcamp flawlessly but with this new hardware it has been one giant headache.
Does anyone have a solution for this?I just spent the morning on the phone with tech support after hooking up my new Mac Pro to my HP w2408h monitor and finding the same problem everyone else has - maximum resolution of 1900x1080. The tech had me roll the OSX version back to 10.5.6, but it did not help. Using the dvi to hdmi connection on my Mac Book Pro gives me the proper resolution of 1920 x 1200, but no matter what the tech had me do, I could not get the proper resolution on the new Mac Pro. He did not think it was the hdmi to dvi connection, but I am almost sure, especially after reading the posts here, that the problem does lie with the hdmi (actually with the GT 120 video card). I do not expect a quick resolution from Apple to this problem.

I have an 26" HDTV with a resolution of 1366x768. I would assume that the mbp 256mb graphics card should easily be able to output this. Unfortunately I have only been able to output at 1344x756 interlaced. Im using a DVI-HDMI cable to hook up the two. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my mbp to output at 1366x768? Thanks in advance.
Generally speaking, a Mac outputs video to an external display exactly according to what it is told to by the display. When a Mac is connected to a display, there is a "handshake" that takes place over a data line imbedded in the video cable and driver data, called EDID, is passed from the display to the Mac from which the Mac builds the required resolution "on-the-fly." If your MBP is sending 1344x756 to the TV, then that is likely what is being asked of it.
You can confirm if that is in fact true by installing SwitchRes X (I recommend SwitchRes X Control Panel over the full version of SwtichRes X) and clicking on the "Export DDC" button in the main SRX "Display" pane. The resulting text file is a dump of the driver data inside your TV and it will contain detailed timing under a heading Descriptor #0 that will show the first requested timing. Probably you will find it is 1344 x 756 interlaced.
If you want, you can try and build a custom native timing for your display. But then you face the question, why didn't the manufacturer do this in the first place? The answer to that question could be that the display won't run from a timing equal to the panel's native format. All I can say to that point is that manufacturers of TVs treat them differently when compared with their computer monitor brethren. It's possible that were you to build a custom, native timing, the TV might not work from it.
To build a custom timing, click on the Custom tab in SRX and then click on the "+" button to add a new timing. Type in 1366 for the Horizontal Active value and 768 for the Vertical Active value. Then click on the "Use simplified settings:" check box and in the associated pop-up select CVT. SRX will then fill in all the other boxes for you. Click OK and then follow the remaining istruction for saving and rebooting. Your new timing should then show up and become active and selectable. Good luck. -
How to verify maximum resolution supported by G62 laptop HDMI
Hi, I have a HP G62-b50sa laptop and am looking at purchasing a large monitor to use alongside it. The laptop has an Intel Graphics card (shared memory) and a HDMI output port. Looking at the manual, it mentions that the HDMI out supports 1080p, which is 1920x1080 resolution. However, the monitor I'm keen on is the Dell U2415h, which has a native resolution of 1920x1200 (HDMI input). Is there anyway I can confirm if the laptop will support this resolution via HDMI? I've searched about but haven't seen anything conclusive. The other option is a Dell U2414h, which is 1920x1080. But I'm not so keen on the 16:9 monitors so would prefer the extra screen height Thanks in advance.AP
AJ,
"I have an HDMI I can use for my PowerBook which has a resolution of 1440 X 900. When I connect to the PowerMac, I get a message stating that I need to reset my display resolution."
Since you have the second monitor working with your PowerBook, that is the way to test your options. Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu. Select Displays. Then click on detect displays.
You can change the resolution and frequency from the list. Set the monitor resolution to something like 1024 x 758 75 Hz. Then connect the monitor to to the G4. Once it is working on the G4, make further adjustments there.
Start with 1024 and work up the resoultion options. As a general rule for frequency, select a lower number for the Hz and then work up until the display does not work. Then go back down one value or speed.
You should get a message to let you revert back to the last setting so a new setting that does not work does not become your default. By the way, it is easier to set resolutions with two monitors connected. If you have the option of a second video card or VGA out, use that to configure the second monitor.
Jim~
PS. Here is additional information on the card:

Note that the card does not provide VGA signals through the DVI port. -
2008 MBP -- DVI out -- DVI/HDMI converter -- HDTV ?
Hi guys,
I'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance if this has been asked before, I'm having a bit of an emergency.
The backlight on my 2008 MBP (model A1260) has gone out -- I can still somewhat see the screen but it's extremely dim. I'm wondering if I can buy a DVI/HDMI converter and run the video out to my HDTV. Are there any extra supplies I'll need?
Also, any instructions for enabling the HDTV as my external display would be greatly appreciated as I'm barely able to read anything on the screen in its current state.

Mac Mini + DVI- HDMI + Toshiba 42RV530U = black screen
Hi all, I have a new Intel Mac Mini 2GHz and a Toshiba 42RV530U REGZA HDTV that I'm trying to connect, with only a black screen so far.
I believe the DVI output on the Mini is working - I can at least get a picture with a DVI-S-Video cable, but it's obviously lower resolution. The DVI-HDMI cable works - I tried it on our cable box.
When the DVI-HDMI cable is hooked up to the HDMI-1 input on the TV, the "No Signal" warning vanishes, but it's replaced by a black screen. No amount of fiddling with SwitchResX has worked so far.
I've tried coming up with values for SwitchResX based on these numbers from the manual (don't know why the H Freq and V Freq give 2 values for each). I couldn't get exact values, but pretty close. I'd ideally like to get 1080p working.
Name Resolution Vert Freq Horizontal Freq Pixel Clock
480i 720 × 480i 59.940/60Hz 15.734/15.750kHz 27.000/27.027MHz
480p 720 × 480p 59.940/60Hz 31.469/31.500kHz 27.000/27.027MHz
720p 1280 × 720p 59.940/60Hz 44.955/45.000kHz 74.176/74.250MHz
1080i 1920 × 1080i 59.940/60Hz 33.716/33.750kHz 74.176/74.250MHz
1080p 1920 × 1080p 23.976/24Hz 26.973/27.000kHz 74.176/74.250MHz
1080p 1920 × 1080p 59.940/60Hz 67.433/67.500kHz 148.352/148.500MHz
I've also tried repairing permissions, rebooting many times, deleting the windowserver.plist files, zapping the PRAM, etc. SwitchResX identifies the TV as "TSB-TV", which sounds the same as other posts with different Toshiba TVs. I'm able to remote into the Mini via Remote Desktop Connection to play with settings, etc.
Any suggestions? Would a DVI to Component cable work? The TV does have an analog RGB in, but this won't support high def. Thanks for any help!
-FrankAn unforeseen twist... I tried hooking up the Mac Mini to a DVI computer monitor, also with no picture. When I hook up my Powerbook to the Toshiba via the DVI->HDMI cable.... Picture! So, looks like my new (refurbed) Mac Mini has a bad digital video output. Seems a little strange though, since the analog video output on it is working fine.
Off to the Mac store tomorrow. -
Mac Mini on Toshiba Regza Z3030 42" via DVI- HDMI
Hello,
I'm trying to connect a Core2Duo Mac Mini (running 10.4.11) to a 42" Toshiba Regza Z3030 Full-HD TV via a DVI-HDMI cable. The TV does 1920x1080 (both i and p), but when I select 1920x1080 (interlaced) from the display resolution menu in System Preferences, I get a black frame around the image that is twice as large on the right side of the picture than it is on the left or top/bottom sides (so even if I enable overscan, the picture is not acceptable, as it's missing a strip of the desktop on the left, top and bottom sides then).
I'm running the TV on "Exact Scan" mode, which (according to the manual), should display a 1080 signal exactly the way it is received from the source, no stretching or scaling at all.
Incidentally, the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning progress indicator fills the screen completely in 1080i, but as soon as the login panel comes up, the picture gets the black bars, so I think it's a MacOS X issue. Can I somehow tell the Mac not to switch the display settings after the booting process is finished, as the image during the boot process is perfect?
Any hints on what I could try?
Thanks in advance,
GeorgOk, I decided to take some more time and googled for how SwitchResX actually works and what all the settings in the "custom resolution" view mean. I stumbled across a very useful tutorial in this forum thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713
Following these instructions (basically, I just had to play with the "front porch" and "back porch" parameters until the image was perfectly centered), I ended up with a custom resolution in which the image is centered, but still has black bars around it.
Next, I simply turned on "Overscan" in the Display preferences while setting the TV's HDMI port input to "Exact Scan", meaning it will display the image exactly the way it comes over the HDMI port, without extra scaling.
With this combination, I now ended up with a picture that fills the whole screen and has (according to a test image) a "1 to 1" pixel mapping. Also, for some reason, this new resolution that I made myself rather than taking the values off the internet "sticks" between sleep and wake cycles as well!
For some reason, though, the TV only reported that it supports 50Hz vertical sync in 1080p when I used the "Export DDC" function in SwitchResX, even though according to the manual it also does 60Hz (and the default 1920x1080, 60Hz resolution from the Display preferences works as well). Therefore, I was only able to make my custom resolution for 50Hz, as I need the values from the DDC export as a starting point.
I only want to use this Mac Mini/TV combination as a media center for movies and music streaming via iTunes, so I guess it won't make any difference wether I'm running it at 50Hz or 60Hz?
Anyways, I hope this thread might help other people with the same TV who are having similar problems with their Mac Minis. -
DVI- HDMI discoloration on HDTV (as second monitor)
Hello all.
I have been having some issues when using my Philips CRT 30" 1080i HDTV as a second monitor via a DVI->HDMI cable. There seems to be a discoloration that occurs (my best guess being a "green" discoloration) that occurs in the top left corner of the screen. It is made all the more apparent when you then unplug, and a purple haze is left in the corner of the "blue" video input channel. (i imagine the green discoloration on the blue channel yields purple).
From what I can tell, this problem does not occur on any other video input (say, a Wii on the composite channel, or an XBOX on the component, etc).
I had heard rumblings that it could be, in order of bad to worst: a bad HDMI cable, a bad HDMI input on the television, or the television going bad period.
Wanted to know if any of you have had or heard of similar experiences. Need to decide soon if I'm going to had to just buy a new HDMI cable, or if I need to buy a new television/monitor for a job coming up.
Thanks in advance!

Status: ConnectedProblems like that are caused by stray magnetism that cause misalignment of the electron beams from landing on the proper phosphor color. The set itself has a demagnetizer, but sometimes the magnetism is too strong for the built-in demagnetizer to overcome. But calling in a TV repair person to do a demagnetization is, I'm afraid, a throw back to bygone days. But that's what your TV needs.

My imac 21" is connected to a Sony Bravia LCD TV thru a dvi hdmi adapter; now the mac freezes on the big bang opening screen without any menu, even when the TV is off; previously the TV was detected but there was no picture on the TV screen. Should I do a PRAM and an SMC reboot ?
If you have a home theatre, the best way to do this is with a toslink cable (optical cable),if your systems
support it, with an adapter for the headphone plug on the mbp.
here are some suggestions that the forum had for me and others. good luck.
Hi Elaine,
The TV could be tricky to get audio out of if you are using a DVI to HDMI adaptor to connect to the TV. Is that what you're attempting to do? The problem with that is that the TV will be expecting audio on that HDMI cable, and it may not be possible to "map" another audio input to an HDMI input. Some TVs will have a DVI input, with an associated "DVI Audio-In" input that is "mapped" to the DVI picture, because DVI will only carry video.
You should be more successful if you connect the MBP to your home theatre directly. If the home theatre has a toslink input, you should connect the toslink cable between the MBP and the home theatre, and then set the home theatre to the appropriate input. You should get audio through that without problems.

Hi there, welcome to Apple Discussions!
It is most likely a video/audio pairing problem with the TV. The TV is expecting audio to come through the HDMI cable you've plugged in, but of course there is no audio through that connection. Depending on your TV, it may or may not be possible to map an analog audio source to a specific HDMI plug. That's what you'd need to do. If your TV has a DVI-in plug, it may be more friendly to the analog audio source because it won't expect audio on that video input.
Also, if you have a home theater receiver, you could plug the RCA into that and run that for sound.

whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?
I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!! -
Using a DVI HDMI cable with my Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 1080p
Hello
I have a Mac Mini Intel proc with 4GB RAM (max RAM).
I'm trying to get it to work with my Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 52" TV. The TV supports 1080p native, and the mini has had no issues connecting to this TV before. I just re-installed 10.6 (with all updates) and it does not want to connect.
I have a direct DVI > HDMI cable going from the Mini directly to the back of the TV. I tested other devices on that TV input and the TV works fine. I'm also convinced that the cable is fine as it worked before the re-install of the system.
I can see the Mac Mini using screen sharing on my Mac Pro, so I can make changes to the configuration over the network. The screen settings on the Mini are set to "1080p (Television)" just like they were when it all worked fine. But the TV screen is black. No picture at all.
What can I do about this?
Thanks,
-----------SHello Mac Mini world. I tried to connect my new Mac Mini to a 2 year old 32" Insignia Flat Screen HDTV through HDMI for hours however there was always part of the screen cut off even after adjusting both the resolution ratio on TV and Mini. After 3 calls to Insignia TV and Apple Support nobody had a definitive solution for me and was mainly told to live with it! One person from Applecare did half heartedly suggest trying a VGA connection instead in spite of lower quality. I went to the MAC store and they were confused as were the people at Best Buy but I reluctantly bought the MINI VIDEO PORT CABLE + VGA CABLE at Best Buy and to my surprise IT WORKED AND LOOKS PERFECT and automatically adjusts to fit any setting of computer resolution LIKE MAGIC. I have never posted but this seemed like good info as I read through a lot of blogs yesterday trying to resolve this issue. AGAIN THE SOLUTION IS TO TRY THE VGA CONNECTION. -chuck

Using DVI - HDMI cable output to Samsung LCD TV
For some reason, i have been using the DVI -> VGA Adapter with a VGA cable outputted to my new Samsung LCD TV, with resolution 1920x1080. I purchased a DVI -> HDMI Cable, but the quality/resolution is subpar to using the VGA Cable, it seems as if the resolution is upscaling itself, but according to Display Preferences, it is outputting at 1920x1080i, When i'm using the VGA cable it just says 1920x1080, without i or p.
Anyone know why?I've been trying to communicate with a Samsung LE40A656 via a DVI-HDMI cable.
I think there must be issues with HDMI on that model because the TV can't detect a signal on the HDMI port and the MPB can't see a monitor.
But I have managed to get full screen via the Apple DVI-VGA adaptor and the D-sub port on the Samsung using the specification in this archive thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400626�
Before I upgraded my TV I had a cheap(ish) Hyundai Vuon with a DVI port which worked fine with my MBP.
Would still like to know why HDMI doesn't work on the Samsung.

No Native Res with DVI/HDMI but OK with DVI/VGA cable on Loewe 32" LCD
Hi there, I am a little confused about connecting my mini to my Loewe Individual LCD TV and coudl do with some help.
I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable at enormous cost because my experience of DVI versus VGA is like night and day and I wanted to have the best possible connection to my HD TV.
The problem is that when I connect the mini with the DVI/HDMI cable the native resolution of my TV is not available. (1366x768 or thereabouts) The only resolutions to choose from are 1920 x 1080? and 1024 X 768. Using overscan on the 1024 fills the screen correctly but looks all stretched.
Instead I connected with a VGA cable and the correct resolution is automatically detected immediately and there is no problem at all.
I am a little bit confused as to why it works fine with VGA but not with DVI/HDMI. The VGA connection looks OK but why compromise when you shoudln't have to?First of all, I am far from an expert but as I said, from my experience and after reading a LOT, HDMI cannot support 1366x768, that is why the TV goes without picture if you try. Why? I don't know.
Now, DVI is almost like VGA, both are analog, and can support 1366x768 or 1920x1200. But since you go from DVI output from the Mac Mini to the HDMI cable, screen goes black, blue, etc, res no supported.
That is why some people don't have problems with the powerbook and their HDTV's, and then they try with the DVI-HDMI adaptor (normally with the mac mini) and it's no good.
The thing is, you can get 720p, 1280x720 but with overscan, so with DisplayconfigX you go from:
1280x720 (720p)
128 Front Porch 10
80 Sync 5
200 Back Porch 15
1688 Total 750
to
1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
for example, with this setup you get the image cut to a minimum.
As you can see the totals are in both cases 1688 750. As soon as you don't respect this totals, like in this example:
1366x768
28 Front Porch 5
80 Sync 5
40 Back Porch 15
1514 Total 793
your TV won't be able to dispay the image. But with VGA the totals don't matter!!!!, that is why it works with one cable and not with the other.
Apple should update the Intel graphic card drivers, maybe that would help.
Bye
