EMachines E211H 21.5" Widescreen LCD Monitor for Compaq sr1230nx model

This monitor is supposed to display at 1920 x 1080 resolution but it is not listed as an option amongst the three (non-widescreen) resolution choices within display settings (windows xp OS). I have updated the drivers from compaq site and emachines site upon emachines tech support initial request. What can be done for this monitor to display at proper widescreen resolution...as of now it is displaying a stretched/fuzzy image.

I know this is an old thread but it looks as if it is still viewed often.
I would bet the problem was that you might have had insufficent power. The Advanced Docking Station uses the 150watt Powersupply, not the 125watt one issued with the laptop.

LCD Monitor for Video Editing: Resolution Concern

I am trying to select an LCD monitor for my newly built computer. I have zeroed in on the DELL SP2309W, 23" Full HD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor with Webcam. The optical resolution is Higher than Full HD at 2048 x 1152.
It is my understanding that Higher than HD Resolution is good for multi-tasking (but DVD movies get stretched and therefore the quality of your videos goes down.), but is it good for video editing with Premiere Elements 7 or 8? Should I be looking at monitors with 1920 x 1080 resolution?

If you run in anything other than the LCD's native resolution your graphics card will be resampling the image. This inevitably distorts the image as pixels must be discarded to create the display. Typically this softens the image.
Cheers,
Neale

Philips 22inch lcd monitor for mac pro

hi there,
I have recently bought a philips 22 inch lcd monitor (220WS8) for my mac pro, but everytime when i start up the system, it keeps booting up with my old display setup (which was my old 15 inch monitor) and having a big black area on the right.
I have to reset it back to 1680 X 1050 everytime when i startup my system.
I was reading the manual and it suggest resetting the PRAM while starting up the system. That worked, but if I have to do this everytime when i turn on my computer, this is really annoying.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or know the solution to this?
* by the way I am currently using the dvi > vga converter at the moment.
Thanks
Thomas

Hello:
That's interesting. The first time I experienced the problem I was using a vga cable also. I've since switched to dvi.
I've had some strange issues with the 10.4.9 update though. Aside from the video problems the machine was logging itself off every few hours, some disk images ( .dmg and .iso ) refusing to mount, slowness and some USB devices acting strangely. I took it ( 10.4.9 ) off and everything is working great again. Some people have told me it's the 2007-005 security update causing the havoc.
Being an old windows machine convert I am used to straightening out software ( and hardware ) problems. I'd like to experiment and find out what is causing the issues, but I don't have enough spare time to tinker right now. My time is much better spent tending my web sites. The main reason I bought the Mac was to save time, knuckles and aggravation and so far it's done a great job of handling the work load demanded of it. I see now why Mac owners consider their Mac their friend.

Recommended LCD monitor for Mac Minin 1.42

I'm trying to find a LCD monitor in the 20"-22" range for my Mac Mini 1.42 that is known to work out of the box using DVI without having to tweak things (i.e. SwitchResX). I have already purchased and returned a HP w2007. My next choice was a ViewSonic VX2035wm but reading this forum it is also known to have timing problems. I'd rather not spend the $$$ for an Apple monitor (not even sure if they work). Would like to keep the cost below $300.
Thanks

You might find the page at http://www.freewebs.com/themagius/macintoshmini.htm helpful since it was compiled for the original 1.25 and 1.42 PPC minis. It does, however, list only DVI.
VGA displays were less troublesome, since they almost all work with the mini, though some were apt to display dim or greyish output.

Playstation 2 to Widescreen LCD Monitor-- Help

I recently purchased a 23" Acer widescreen 1080P monitor at a Black Friday sale, and I love this new monitor. It's twice as big as my old one and it is really nice. Anyway, I've heard stories of people hooking up video game systems (in my case a Playstation 2 would be what I would like to hook up) to their monitors. My neighbor a few houses down has his 360 hooked up to his aging CRT type monitor. I don't know the exact details but i've looked up a lot of information on how to do so, and it's all very confusing. First, i'd like to point out that that in addition to the standard VGA cable to plug into my desktop tower, it also features a DVI-D jack. As I mentioned above I would like to start hooking up my Playstation 2 to my monitor and playing on the widescreen. I know it can be done and it has been done, I just would like to know a simple way to start doing it, and if possible, items I could purchase at my local Best Buy so that I could play my Playstation on my monitor again. Any and all opinions/tips to accomplish this are welcomed. I am 17 years old and I have about 50 games for my Playstation 2, most of which I have owned since my childhood. I would like to fully enjoy these games more often, so please help!
-Pete

Recommend anti-glare LCD monitor for MBP 13

Hello, I need a decent quality antiglare type monitor to be the external monitor for graphics work with my MacBook Pro 13 inch unibody. I just tried an HP ZR24w but was not able to get it working. The monitor would light up for one second and my desktop showed, then it would immediately go dark. Apple support could not help, HP support kept me on hold for 45 min. and then dropped my call.
Unfortunately Apple no longer makes antiglare monitors for its graphics professional community. If they did I would buy an Apple monitor. I am currently using an old Apple Cinema Display but it has a bad case of creeping screen defects and looks terrible.
Is anyone out there sucessfully using an external monitor with MBP that has an antiglare screen, does 1920 x 1200 res and has an IPS LCD?
The usual suspects that people recommend for graphics work in the mid-range are Dell ultra-sharp and HP LP2475w. Since I do less graphics work than I used to I thought the ZR24w would be a good affordable option, however since I could not get it to work I am concerned that none of these other monitors will be compatible either. Buying and returning vis mail order is expensive... would really appreciate hearing what other people are using.
Please let me know what connector you are using. I tried the ZR24w with both DVI and displayPort but neither of these options work for me. Apple tech support was stumped and blamed it on HP.
Any thoughts?
TIA!

There should be a anti-glare option on ALL Mac's, however the 13" is certainly the next prime candidate for one given that they rolled out anti-glare for the 17" first, then the 15" next.

Is there a good 17" lcd monitor for under Â£200?

hi
which 17" lcd screen do you think is the best for under Â£200 to go with my new mac mini
any help would be greatly appreciated as i am completely at a loss
charlie

While a better monitor is always, well.....better...I'm not sure that's going to solve your problem. The issue appears to be one of color management, particularly monitor calibration. I would strongly advize investing $25 and taking a one month membership at lynda.com. There you can check out some excellent video training on this subject (and many others).
My experience is that to get anywhere close to matching prints to what you see on screen, be prepared to spend a couple of hundred bucks on calibration software and hardware. I opened this can of worms a couple of years back and it took a while to get my head around the concepts of color spaces, gamuts, soft proofing, hardware profiles etc. etc. But it was worth it in the end. I'm certanly no expert, but I have a much clearer idea of what's going on with my prints color-wise. Screen-to-print is still not an absolutely perfect match (is anyone's?), but close enough for my purposes (weddings, events, portrait photography).
I looked into getting a better monitor, but my research tells me that if I'm paying much less that $1500, the result may not be much better than what I've got (an old View Sonic GS771, a snip at $20 !!).
Seriously, lynda.com, you can't go wrong. Best money I ever spent.

Difference between 60hz and 120-240hz lcd monitor for gaming?? OT

I don't have an apple display but have a 40" lcd tv. Does this higher Hz really help with motion and will it help with games that play at a higher Hz rate?
After editing all day its nice to play a game now and then but there is one problem I have. *Ghost Recon* will not play on this lcd tv. Every other game I tried will work but I don't mess with those much. I just can't figure out why this one game will not work with this 60hz lcd tv.
I can plug a dvi and sub-15 out of my *MDD G4* together into the monitor and then it will work. I have to mirror the monitors together to make it work tough.
It's very odd that this will work even with the crt monitor off, but they both still need to be plugged in.
So should I try to buy a 120hz lcd tv and see if that works but thats a $700 mistake that would be really bad to the budget.
Obviously this is this game only. I borrowed a friends new Acer 22" computer monitior and put it on 60hz and the game played today.
I really am confused about this.
Thanks for the help
Tony

The way a 120 Hz monitor/TV works is to insert an interpolated image in between the two actual images that were passed to the display by the video source. Consider the example of a a ball in motion, like say you a watching a tennis match. Consider that 60 frames per second of video are being passed from the video source (computer, cable box, whatever...) to the display. In frame one, let's say the ball is at position A. In frame two, lets say the ball is at position B. So as rendered on the display the ball would appear to jump from A ---> B and the next frame to C, like A---> B--->C, etc.
What a 120 Hz display does is insert extra images between frames one and two, and two and three and so on. In that case a "fake" image of the ball is computed by DSP and inserted between the other "real" locations so the ball moves like this: A->A'->B->B'-C, etc. so the appearance is smoother motion of the ball as the display is updated not 60 times per second, but 120 times per second.
This would improve the appearance of motion in video games. The downside can be latency because there is a delay penalty that will occur from the required frame buffering and processing. You should probably find a dedicated game website and read up more about this kind of technology before committing $700 to it. And it won't make a game play that, for whatever reason, isn't currently playing on your system. So Ghost Recon isn't playing for some other unrelated reason.

Getting a suitable LCD monitor for MacBook

Hi,
There are so many wide screen monitor selling in the market.
May I know which resolution is best suitable for the new macbook 13.3"?
I have been seeing 1440X900(19"), 1366X768(18.5"), 1680X1050(19"), 1600X900(20").
Any recommendation, for the above?

Okie thank you.
I was thinking which one will be closed to the macbook 13.3" screen.
macbook screen recommended 1280X800 for its 13.3 inch screen itself.
Guess I will get one which is closest.
thank you again!

Can I use a VGA to Mini DVI adapter for a LCD monitor for a macbook??

Hello!
First off, I love this site. Secondly, I have a macbook 10.6.6 and a LCD moniter with a VGA input. I see on the apple site there is the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" and "Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter". both seem compatible but I want to pick the right one. any ideas?
Thank you!
Grant

Apple didn't ship a 2.4GHz MacBook until February of 2008. If that's the model you have, or an earlier model, it has a mini-DVI port which would take the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. To confirm, run System Profiler, click on the Hardware heading at the very top of the left-side list, and tell us what the Model Identifier reports.
Regards.

Use Monitor for TV and Gaming!?

Nick
Ok, so im moving into college in a few weeks and all I want to do is to be able to watch tv and play xbox on my monitor. The reason I'm getting a monitor instead of a tv is because I can't find a tv with a 2 ms response time(which is what i need for gaming). I'll give you all the information I have and hopefully I can get a solution!
1. My monitor is an Asus 23" Widescreen LCD (all of the specifications are on the link below (It has a VGA input, DVI-D input, HDMI input, and a 3.5mm mini jack)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+23%22+Widescreen+LCD+Monitor/2354038.p?id=1218322741725&skuId=235...
2. The cable provider at my college dorm has a coaxial cable( 78 channels).
- Now what do I have to do/buy in order to make this work? If you need any more information in order to solve this problem I'll gladly give it to you.
Thanks,
Nick
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the monitor does not have a TV tuner, then you will need to buy a device that has a TV tuner and a VGA output device. In other words, by the time you're done, you might as well as bought an additional TV - unfortunately.
