External Full HD display

Hello,
I'm planning to buy an external monitor for my MBP (Unibody late 2008), with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. My MBP comes with a mini display port, and I plan to connect it to my display with DVI, so I'll need a MDP to DVI-D adapter. My question is, will I get a 1920 x 1080 resolution with DVI-D connectors on my external display? Does my MBP able to produce such output? My GPU is GeForce 9600M GT.
And another thing, how can I fully close my MBP while using it on my external display, with a wireless keyboard and bluetooth mouse?
Can anyone help me with this? I thank you.
AL

With the MBP, you're still limited to a resolution of 2560x1600 (well beyond 1080p).

External monitor not displaying full 1920x1080 (black bars around desktop), Pavilion g6

I have a Pavilion g6 notebook running Windows 8.1. I have an external Acer S232HL display hooked up via an HDMI cable. The resolution is set to 1920x1080 in Windows, and I'm only outputting to the external monitor.
Windows thinks the resolution is set to 1920x1080, but for some reason on the monitor it is scaled to something like 1734x980 with black borders (unused pixels) all around.
All drivers and OS are up to date. Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7640G via an AMD A8-4500M APU.
Somebody posted what looks to be the same problem for this AMD chipset, though for a different manufacturer:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/G505S-doesn-t-full-screen-my-External-Monitor...

(Workaround)
Since I don't expect to find a fix for this, I've resigned myself to setting the resultion to 1776x1000 and setting the monitor in a 1-for-1 pixel mode (called "Aspect" in the options). I still end up with the borders, but the graphics are nice and sharp because it isn't trying to scale 1920x1080 into a smaller resolution.

My external 27" AOC display only runs with 1080p

My external 27" AOC display only runs with 1080p, even though my 27" iMac is capable of 2560x1440 via the attached mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. How can I get 2560x1440?
When I run recovery mode, then I get the full 2560x1440 pixels. But when I boot back to 10.9.2, then I can only choose a maximum of 1080p.

After some hours I found a solution...
But let me vent a little bit first: My MacBook Air, which I have not yet upgraded to Mavericks, is able to drive the AOC display through DisplayPort at full resolution without a problem.
Even an older lenovo Notebook with Windows 7 immediatelly used the intended resolution when hooking up the 27" screen. Windows 7 outplaying Mavericks. Oh boy...
So it seems, that Mavericks introduced some "improvement" that limitd "unknown" displays to 1080p...
By the way: Clearing PRAM didn't resolve my issue. Neither did holding down the Option key when klicking in the "Scaled" button in the screen resolution area of the system preferences for my screen.
Anyway: I found out that I can use the plist file for a DELL 27" screen, which google found for me, copy this to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides and then rename the folder and file to match the ID I got back from ioreg.
Obviously one has to be careful when mixing hardware data in this way. But since a modern screen will simply refuse to be driven with a signal that is out of spec, and since there are not too many different 27" pannels with 2560x1440 out there these days, this felt like a pretty safe thing to do... Your mileage may vary though!
Unfortunately I don't have a plist editor installed. Thus I can only look at the XML contained in the plist file. With the plist editor from Mac (-> dev tools) it should be possible to edit available resolutions directly (in hex).

HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

External hard drive displays error code 22

My Seagate GoFlex external hard drive displays code 22 when I try to initialize it to active status...what is code 22 ?

You should really contact the vendor about this. Try the Seagate Forum. This is not a ConfigMgr issue.

Is it possible the current Mac Mini 2.7 Ghz i7 with two full-resolution displays and Thunderbolt operate?

Thanxs for your answers.

On Second thoughts...
I don't really know how well Logic Express 7 performs on the Mac Mini because I have not yet had the chance to experience the two together. Don't let that put you off the idea though! From my understanding of the system requirements printed on the Logic Express homepage, it states that a G4 or faster system is required, however Apple personally recommend a Dual G4 or G5 is recommended alongside a minimum of 512MB of Ram. This Does mean that Logic Express will run on the Mac Mini but you will most probably find it lags when moving samples in real time and rendering them onto your hard drive. If you really want to enjoy making "serious" music on the Mac then you really need to be looking at the iMac G5 or the iMac Core Duo (Intel) purely for your tempers sake. As for an Intel Mac Mini, there is no indication as to when we will be seeing one on the market and therefore you may find yourself on the fence between keeping your fixed budget and holding on a little or jumping in and getting on the right road to a digital musical life - mac style.
Maybe this will inspire your decision:

[Solved] Can't get external monitor to display correct resolution

I have a laptop with 1280x800 resolution, I hooked up a spare monitor we had sitting around that has a native resolution of 1280x1024 to my laptop. When I hook it up the external monitor displays a resolution of 1024x768. I use KDE 4.5, so I tried to change the resolution for the external monitor in System Settings but 1024x768 is the highest resolution listed.
I've tried messing around with xrandr through the command line (somewhat anyway) but I'm at a loss in trying to get the external monitor to display its native resolution. I'd like to get the external monitor to possibly replace my laptop monitor as it would add another 224 vertical pixels. Anyone have any ideas?

You had said the native resolution is 1280x1024 -- I therefore assume this is an LCD monitor.
I would not generally expect LCDs to flicker. At what vertical frequency are you driving the display? Most LCDs operate at 60Hz. This is regardless of the local power line frequency or television standard.
Many CRT monitors are driven at 75 Hz to keep them from flickering or from "beating" with ambient lighting that is flickering at the local power line frequency (50 or 60 Hz). Again, this is not the correct thing to do with LCDs.
Bottom Line: Make sure your vertical frame rate is 60 Hz.

External keyboard and display not recognized

After upgrading to Leopard, Vista doesn't see my external keyboard and display.
Any ideas?

The display was due to Boot Camp setup deleting the old driver and needing to be run a second time. It was disappointing that the external display problem wasn't fixed, but at least release 16902 finally fixed that issue.
The keyboard is recognized if I unplug and replug it, but it has to be done each time I boot Vista.

Why can't I get a full screen display on my programmes

I am not able to get a full screen display on downloads of films and iview top and bottom of screen blacked out double tap to enlarge does not work Thankyou

Did you purchase the ringtone or make it yourself by taking an excerpt from a song?
If taking an excerpt from a song, it must be 30 sec or less. Once you get the 30 sec clip, you have to create an AAC version of the clip. Open the folder with the AAC version of the clip and change the file extension to .m4r I believe. Then double click the new file and it will automatically be loaded in the "tones" folder. You can then open the "tones" folder in iTunes and drag it to your iPhone which is connected to iTunes on your computer.

Try this: Use the [√]Mirror displays oprions, choose your resolution, then desect the [ ]Mirror displays.
It shouldn't supossed to be like this, but until they send an update, this workarround will work.

Does low-res videos/movies look bad on the Retina display? (compared to a full hd display)

I'll be watching a lot of movies/series on the MBP Retina i've ordered, will low-res/480p look slightly worse than it would on a full hd display, or will it look horrible?
Thanks!

What is a "low-res" video? It will look as good as the "low-res" is. If the video is 100px x 100px it will display 100px x 100px unless you stretch or otherwise manipulate it.
If a "low-res" video is an old 1930's grainy video it will look like a 1930's grainy video.
Maybe I did not understand your question.

MacBook Air Full Screen Display

Why does my MacBook Air not go full screen when the display is set at 1440 x 900? I have to set the display at 1024 x 640 to get a full screen display. Thanks.

Hi forever free,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. Depending on your model of MacBook Air (post-2010), the native fullscreen resolution should be 1440 by 900 (16:10 aspect ratio) for the 13 inch and 1366 by 768 (16:9 aspect ratio) for the 11 inch.

IMac 20" and external LG L1915S display

I've got an external 19" LG display attached to my 20" iMac via mini-DIV to VGA adapter from Apple.
When the iMac is shut down, going to sleep or shuts down the internal display the 19" doesn't go into stand by mode. It did when it was attached to my old G4.
What might be the problem? The "shutdown" signal seems to be missing through the VGA-adapter.

No answers, but I have a similar problem w/ a Dell external VGA display. If my computer goes to sleep on its own or shuts down, the external display stays on w/ the last image frozen in place. The only way to get the external monitor off is to manually put my computer to sleep.
Is it normal for all the controls on the external monitor to stop working?
Curious to hear if you've learned anything. Thanks,
Alex

Poor full screen display quality

I am in a dual-display environment. One display I have set up as a full-screen display for images as I edit them in Aperture. They show up in a dismally poor quality; a grid-like low resolution. When I zoom in on them, the issue goes away. It's just when an image is displayed in its entirety. This is a 20" Cinema display. Note that there is no display quality issue with Photoshop. Thanks.

Which picture is the refence picture?
I have been noticing that the same image in different programes does look different, colour and tone.. Now I understand that as each programe reads the data differently. BUT with Aperture I have noticed this is the case within aperture and this is crazy.
The photo is different in the loupe again different in the full frame version and yet again with in the grid. So when using the loupe is it possible to compare images enlarged from the grid and so on! and on. and the exported images look diferent again when viewed...
Strange as it is all on one monitor!
Or am I the only one to notice this?
