Dvi out screen size

I've attached my macbook (leopard 10.5.5) to my Samsung LE26R73BD LCD TV via the mini-DVI to DVI adapter and DVI to HDMI cable.
I can see the desktop on the TV but the outer edges of the desktop are "off the screen". The preferences finds the monitor and notes it as Samsung and selects a default resolution. If I adjust the resolution it makes no difference the problem remains.
Clearly the macbook can identify the LCD TV and the Samsung is receiving and displaying the screen from the macbook.
I can find nothing in the Samsung's menus that resolves the issue. There is a zoom and alignment option but the amount of the edge that is "off screen" is too large to adjust with the TV options.
Has anyone experienced this type of issue. If I use the VGA adapter to connect it displays the screen correctly. Why the difference between the VGA and DVI? The LE26R73BD is older technology now, but it is HD ready. I am keen to use the DVI rather than the VGA to get better picture definition.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
The DVI input is purely digital. The VGA is analog. With VGA, the settings for the TV set are automatic because there is a single standard for VGA.
With DVI there are many standards, may resolutions, scanrates, etc.
On my Sony Bravia, there are many menu settings for compatibility. The computer does its best to detect the best resolution etc on the monitor, but for older monitors, you may need to set the vertical/horizontal/refresh rates manually. If there are not an option, then there is not much to do.
You can play with the resolution setting on your Mac, that might work.
What resolutions does your Samsung display? Most Digital TVs today include the standard 480, of course, 720 and 1080.
If you TV erroneously detects a resolution, it will display improperly. Does your computer just detect a generic Samsung? Or does it actually list your model number?
It's not clear what "HD-ready" means. There are older HDMI standards and specs that may be the problem. The TV and computer "talk" to each other but if there is some error in the signals, then it won't work properly.

Ti4400 TV-out screen size

Hi,
I'm using the Geforce 4 ti4400 card, and I connected a vcr and TV to my card.
My problem is this:
The size of the screen is too big for the TV.
In other words, I get only part of the screen on tv.
I tried the screen adjustment, but the problem is simply that it's too big.
Please help me soon,
Thanks,
Eyal

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
Gregory

Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

Each time I open a site, the site exceeds the screen size until I manually zoom out. How do I fix this permanently?

For no apparent reason recently, when I open a website with Firefox, the site's homepage or any other visual exceeds the screen size of my monitor. It did not previously do that and I have not intentionally or knowingly changed any settings. I can click on VIEW and then ZOOM OUT twice and it fits the screen. What can I set/fix so that the initial page on the screen is properly sized like it used to be.
Thank you.

Find out user's screen size ?

Is it possible to find out the size of the user's current browser window in pixels in WebDynpro for ABAP?
(i need this because I have a popup that is 100% high and 100% wide (works well), and on that popup I want to add a GANTT control with 100% width and height as well. Unfortunately, the CHART control does not accept a dynamical height (100% width works, but 100% height is not suported).

make the rootuiElementcontainer of layout type matrixLayout
and turn "stretchVertically" property on
maybe that will work?

How can I get my movie clip to resize according to screen size?

I have a movie clip (startMenu); inside it there are buttons, text, and graphics. This is a game I am making, and it will be played on different screen sizes of Android. This is the code I have so far:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT
startMenu.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
    setPosition();
function setPosition():void
     startMenu.x = (stage.stageWidth - startMenu.width) / 2;
        startMenu.y = (stage.stageHeight - startMenu.height) /2;
When I run it on different phones using debugging, it locks on the left hand corner, but does stretch out to fit the whole screen. What should I do?

try changing
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
to
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

Best practice for setting or detecting screen size?

Hi All,
Trying to determine a best practice for setting or detecting the screen size. For playbook and iOS, I can set them. But for Android, the number of devices is too large so I'd rather detect. My first choice is to use the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth. This works fine if I set my stage properties with standard meta data:
[SWF(height="320", width="480", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
However, if I use the application descriptor file to set the stage dimentions (as suggested by Christian Cantrell here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/authoring_for_multiple_screen_sizes.html)
<initialWindow>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<width>320</width>
<height>480</height>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
</initialWindow>
Then the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are not the correct numbers when my main class is added to the stage. Sometime after the main class is added to the stage, then those numbers are fine. Is there an event I can wait for to know that the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are correct?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the quick response! However, for some reason the heightPercent & widthPercent metadata tags are not working as expected for me.
I have a wrapper class that I target for compiling, WagErgApplePhone.as where I've got my metadata
[SWF(heightPercent="100%", widthPercent="100%", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
sets some stage properties
stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
and instantiates my main class
var main:Main = new Main();
addChild(main);
my main class constructor even waits for the stage
public function Main(){
if (stage) init();
else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
in my init function, stage.stageHeight traces out as 375 (expecting 320).
i have a function which is called via a button press event by the user, and stage.stageHeight traces out correctly (320) there. that's what makes me think that if i wait long enough, i can get the correct stageHeight before init/drawing. but i'm not sure what event to listen for, or if there's another trick.
if i use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY the correct values are provided for mobile, but these values are not useful for the desktop and web version of the app. if there's no other solution, i'll execute different code depending on platform.
again, for reference, my app descriptor:
<initialWindow>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<width>320</width>
<height>480</height>
<content>bin-iOS/WagErgApplePhone.swf</content>
<title>WAG ERG</title>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
</initialWindow>
looking forward to any other ideas to try out & thanks so much for your thoughts! if you want to really dig in, this is an opensource project at code.google.com/p/wag-erg/

Whenever i am using my laptop and my palms are on the base of the laptop and i am typing all of sudden... my screen size keeps resizing bigger or smaller

i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

Screen size smaller than 1024x768?

Hi all,
I'm working on a project that is being done on 1024x768
screen size. I don't get to resize the screen as with widescreen
monitor it gets a bid odd when resized for a non-native resolution.
So my questions is, do you reckon that there are many computer out
there with screen res less than 1024x768? The project is going to
be sent to an target audience in England, medium to large company
sized. Thanks for your input

thanks. Went back for a second look and they are indeed the same size. I was thrown off by how the menu in the newest version is structured. Is that new menu style available as an update, or only specific to the new classics?

Screen size keeps changing

sometimes when i am working in adobe cc suddenly my screen size changes and I cannot figure out why or how to change it back. Has this happened to anyone else?

That's suspiciously like 'Boiler Plate Text'. Did you have to pay Station royalties? ;-) Actually, it is rather better than the version Ramon wheels out. I think I'll grab the link for my big page of ready forum responses. :-)
Possible reasons a window would change size
Ctrl or Alt Spacebar and left click drag (standard zoom feature)
or my best guess, he has Zoom with mouse wheel check in General preferences. This operates completely by itself, (no other key needed) so would be very easy to make happen unintentionally.

T400 DVI Out through Mini Dock

The T400 has no DVI output plug. However with my old A31p which likewise has no DVI-out, I can get DVI from it through its docking station. Is it the same for the T400? When docked to the ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock, will I be able to get DVI from it?

Unfortunately, according to the Specifications posted at
http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/merchandising/US/PDFs/t400_and_t500_datasheet.pdf
the T500 has DisplayPort but the T400 does not. So no digital video output from the T400 unless through docking station.
I would strongly prefer the brighter WXGA+ LED-backlit screen which is only available on the T400 (T500 only has WXGA), AND the DisplayPort that is only available on the T500.
It seems you can't get both the higer resolution LED and the digital output on the same Txxx series notebook.

MBP freeze DVI out to a monitor

When I first got my 13inch 2010 MacBook Pro about two months ago, I connected it with an external monitor via MiniDisplayport to DVI cable. And since then I had experienced random freeze, the screen would suddenly turn to light green or some other color, keyboard and everything else stopped working, and I had no choice but to reboot. However in the last 10 days I removed the connection to the external monitor and so far I have not experienced any problem. I think I have isolated the freeze issue. Does anyone know what's going on here?? Is it possible for me to reestablish the connection without experiencing any crash in the future? thx

I have the same problem. When no external monitor/TV is used, no issues ever. When using HDMI-DVI and using HDMI as sound output, freezes every 15-45 mins. When using just video, no audio, freezes every 30-90 mins.
When I called apple support, they said no known issues. I ran the low level Apple hardware diagnostics (ASD 3S138) OS and EFI, and my mac passed every single test. (DVI port is not listed on the diagnostic)
Everything is up to date, and my MBP is was purchased in August (3 months old).
My buddy has a MBP 13" from a year ago, before they added the capability to output sound through DVI-HDMI, and he has never had an issue.
This seems to be a hardware issue, and only seems to be happening on the 13" MBP with the new DVI out that allows sound that was released mid 2010.

Cannot adjust page width to fit to screen size on some PCs with IE

Hello friends, I am using APEX 4.0 and IE9 on different Windows 7 PCs . The page will go way off the screen to the right on one PC, and fits nicely inside the screen on another PC. This problem does not occur in Firefox on any PC. I have used Firebug to try to isolate the template or css settings. Using Theme_4, I have a breadcrumb region and 4 reports regions. One of the reports regions is in column 1 and 3 regions are in column 2. Display point is Page Template Body (3. Items above region content) for all the reports regions. The CSS is #themes/theme_4/css/theme_4_0.css. The template is One Level Tabs (Right Sidebar/Table Based). I tried various width="" using px and % under Edit Page Template-Definition-Body (see below). I tried style="width:800px" within the <div> tags. I have tried various other changes to theme_4_0.css and apex_4_0.css with no visible change to the page width on the obstinate PCs. I reset IE setting and deleted all personal settings on both PCs with no changes to either one, one fits on the screen and the other does not. The issue is that most of our users use IE so most of them will have to live with using the horizontal scroll bar to see the regions in column 2, unless we switch them all to Firefox (not a bad option, except that option works for our users only, we have no control over external browsers). I have tried suggestions from many discussion threads, as this problem has bothered us for quite some time. I know this is an IE problem, but any help is appreciated. Thank you.
"|" represents screen size and "-" is the regions/content for the "bad" PCs.

The "good" PCs look like this:

I think your concerns are very reasonable. But I want to sort of refocus things a little bit for you here... it's not really a PC vs Mac issue... Rather, it's specifically an Internet Explorer issue. And you might say that this is synonymous...still 98% of the world uses IE, and you would be correct. Hopefully when the final version of IE7 comes out, it will finally embrace some of the modern day OPEN web standards without trying to make too many standards of its own (this is Microsoft, though).
Anyways, in the meantime, I guess we all try to make the best of it. It's very easy to conclude that iWeb is not a viable tool for you, as long as you have something else to "fall back" on. With my limited knowledge of all things HTML, I have no such luxury. Instead, I have put up a notice on my site for IE users only that the site might not look its best on IE....this notice also encourages IE users to use FireFox, which is very much like Safari and will in 99% of cases display your iWeb pages just like you expect. You can see how I've done this here (but you have to surf from IE)... http://blog.dirtdoog.com
I think many people in the PC world understand the limitations of IE. Certainly many don't, but you have to consider your likely audience, I guess. I believe that your website content is king. If your content is compelling enough to your intended audience, they will jump through hoops to see it in its full glory....but you have to make them aware of the problem. That's why I have chosen to take the path that I have taken.
Let me know what you think.

DVI out to component in (DVCPro HD)

Repost... Sorry, accidently posted in FCE, would like to ask again here.
Other than buying the Matrox MXO, I'm stumped.
I need to capture a clients PowerPoint into a FCP HD timeline so that they can see all their transitions, then I'll use Compressor to create an HD file which will play on their digital signage box. (plasma HD screen)
I already have a successful workflow with evey aspect EXCEPT getting PP in a HD sequence. PowerPoint is on a MacBook Pro (DVI out) to a quad G5 with a BlackMagic HD extreme card that accepts component in. I've tried a scan converter that has component out, and a simple DVI to component cable. BlackMagic card sees nothing in HD.
Matrox MXO says it'll do DVI to component (Y, Pb, Pr) all day long for a grand.
I would really like to explore my options at NAB this year, but the client won't wait that long.
And yes, the signage box will play PowerPoint presentations (.ppt files) that look great right now. However, when playing a PP presentation you can not overlay an instant messanging system crawl which is a must for them. This is why the PP must play as an MPEG2 HD file.
Any help is most welcome!
--Bob

Understanding the client wants their own transitions, so there would be a bunch more work. But if you do go this way I would suggest putting a "proxy" clip of the entire show (point a camera at the original PowerPoint playback) on V1, then cover that with your clips and transitions on V2. Should make the timing a lot easier.
But it does seem ridiculous that you should have to do that at all. Maybe a post house can help with a quick translation.
