HDMI signal is off center.

I'm trying to use my new iPad 2 with the HDMI adaptor cable to watch Doctor Who HD which I purchased from iTunes on my Sony Bravia Flatscreen.  The mirrored signal from the iPad is all the way to the left of my screen but everything is visible.  However, when I use Video to play the show (which letterboxes on the iPad when disconnected from the TV) it does not letterbox and the left portion of the scene is cut off.  Is there some setting I'm missing which will correct this?
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue, but on an LG monitor.
I'm using the AV adapter on my iPad2, to mirror the screen over hdmi. On the monitor, the image is appearing all the way to the left, and is even off the screen to the left, a bit.

  • Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI - image way off center

    Early 2008 15-inch Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI worked at first, now image is way off center on TV (like only showing a sliver of the computer image at the edge of the TV screen). Philips says it's an issue with the computer settings, not the TV. Any suggestions?

    Does the HDMI cable work when connecting other devices to the TV? Have you tried a different HDMI cable with the same result?

  • [SOLVED]VGA is off center (Quick question about HDMI)

    It seems that the display on my t.v. is off a little...any background I apply has a huge black bar on the left of the desktop and when windows are opened they are cut off on the right...When booting into LXDM or/and other manager the whole display is also off center...I have looked around a lot and tried multiple resolution settings...I am thinking it is so simple a fix that I cannot find it...Please tell me what I am doing wrong...Also, I am using a laptop with a broken screen and I was wondering if HDMI outputs automatically by default? If it does then I am assuming that I just have a bad HDMI cable...Thank you for your time and help in advance

    No...there was no settings wrong with the tv...overscan have both been tried off/on...I'll mark this as solved only because I got a new HDMI cable (the old one was in fact bad)...Thank you for your help however....Marking as solved since this problem no longer applies...

  • Macbook Pro Off-Center on LCD TV

    I am wanting to use my Macbook Pro hooked to a Samsung 32" LCD TV as a secondary display. When I attempt to set the Samsung resolution to 1360x768 in Mac's display preference, the image is off-center with a black band down the left side of the tv. I have used the dvi to vga supplied with my macbook, and have vga going into the set. When i set the resolution to 1024x768 the image is centered (but stretched).
    Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? I have searched the forum and the entire interweb, but cannot find anything.
    Thanks!

    Yes, DVI-to-HDMI is probably your best bet.

  • Capturing HDMI signal to MacBook Pro for editing in FCP

    I have a ton of old home-recorded VHS tapes that I'm hoping to capture to FCP editable QT files. I'm considering purchasing a Panasonic BluRay/VHS combi deck, the DMP-BD70V, because it supposedly upscales old VHS tapes for display through the HDMI cable output. My question is, will I be able to feed the digital output of the HDMI cable directly into my MacBook Pro 15" (vintage September 2007) laptop, or will I still need some sort of card to make the HDMI signal palpable to my computer?

    The short answer is - not unless you are willing to fork over $600+ for the necessary converter. Probably the least expensive such converter is the Canopus ADVC-HD50, which can convert the HDMI signal to HDV and feed it to your Mac via FireWire. Something to consider is that you will be going through multiple conversions this way - VHS -> upscaling to hidef via HDMI -> conversion to HDV -> possible conversion to AIC or ProRes. IMHO not a great workflow, as it's likely to degrade the quality to a noticeable degree, especially that upscaling step.
    Something to consider - the quality is limited by the original VHS tape & recording. Even DV is significantly higher quality than VHS. You will be better off converting directly from the analog VHS to DV using a Canopus ADVC-110 or 300 or similar analog-DV converter.

  • MacBook Pro 15" losing HDMI signal intermittently

    MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Mavericks 10.9.4); 4 GB ram.  I am running HDMI to a new video projector.  The HDMI signal is lost periodically for about 1-2 seconds and then comes back.  It occurs about every 5-7 minutes (about 20 times during a 50 minute lecture).  It loses both video and audio. Screen goes black but no displayed messages.  I have read a variety of other posts with similar symptoms with various computers (e.g. Mac mini) and even with DVI cable use.  In my case, I've used two different HDMI adaptors so it's not the adaptor. I'm pretty sure it's not the HDMI cable itself.  (A fellow professor does not have the issue with his PC and he uses the same equipment.) Neither the computer nor the cable is touched.  (I have another colleague who reports the same symptoms in his music lab.) Bottom line is that it's a distraction to my students and it's occurring off different Macs in different locations.  This means to me that it may be something with the particular generation of Macs we're using.  Looking for help to resolve the issue.

    Assuming this is your machine - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) - Technical Specifications you are using a DisplayPort (from the Thunderbolt/DP port) to an HDMI adapter. Non-Apple adapters have issues.
    The other factor is that there are GPU issues with the AMD - problems with amd gpu on early 2011 macbook pro (there are many threads like this).
    Either issue may be impacting your Mac connectivity.  The third-party adapters may not be able to drive signals consistently.
    Can you test with an Apple-branded DP-to-HDMI adapter and the 50' cable?

  • KDL-55v5100 dropping HDMI signal

    I am having an issue with my KDL-55v5100 where it drops HDMI signal speratically and the screen goes black and posts the HDMI 1 lablel then comes back on after about 5-10sec.
    The TV is just over a year old. I have run a firmware update on the tv recently which I thought fixed the issue but it appears to have come back. I also have had my home theater system replaced becasue I thought this was causing the issue. It seems like that wasn't it.
    I have my sataligth reciever plugged directly into my TV's HDMI port and this is happening again.
    I'm not sure what to do at this point has anyone had this issue with this TV?

    I have a KDL-55V5100 that we bought in December 2010,  We did not buy an extended warranty.  After only a few months, there was no signal from the cable.  Sony sent us a USB flash drive to update the operating system and that worked just fine.  Just a couple of months ago, we started having the problem with the tv shutting off for 1-3 seconds and then showing the HDMI input message.  It happens sporadically with no pattern.  I called Sony for help and was told that since it's out of warrenty, the only help available is online.  I haven't found any suggestions that help.  Thinking I'll never buy another Sony product!

  • Display signal turns off without warning...

    I have MacMini and the display signal turns off intermittently (i.e. not just sleeping).
    The display is via a VGA connection to a Philips monitor (although I've tried with an Acer VGA monitor too and get the same problem).
    The only way to fix it seems to be to turn the Mac off and on again.
    I feel pretty disappointed. I've used Apple Macs since having a Mac Plus 20 years ago and have always recommended people to use them because "you just plug things in and they work"...
    But this is simply rubbish. It's practically useless.
    Has anyone else experienced this and are Apple doing anything about it? ...or should I just try to get my money back under the "not fit for purpose" clause in the sale of goods act.

    cheers
    Sadly no DVI input on any of my monitors...
    Doubly annoyed because I bought a new VGA monitor to use with the Mac Mini. I would have bought one with DVI input if Apple had advised this.
    Why on earth do Apple sell the HDMI to VGA adapter if this doesn't work?
    I sense a formal complaint brewing...

  • 2013 27" iMac using mini displayport to VGA, external monitor off center.

    I recently purchased a new 2013 iMac 3.5 i7 and connected two external monitors. The minidisplayport to DVI adaptor works fine on one monitor but the minidisplayport to VGA is off center on the 2nd monitor. There is a 2" black band on the left side of the screen. I've replaced the adaptor, cable and tried on two different monitors. I've also tried repositioning image in the monitor settings which it can't move far enough. It only happens on 1920 x 1024. Any other resolution is fine. Other than that it works fine, but this space is going to drive me nuts. Because these are 23" monitors I really would like the highest resolution possible. I'm stuck. Any thoughts?

    Update: I switched to DVI and it worked perfectly. I guess there could be an issue with the mini displayport to vga adaptor on the 2013 iMac. I also tested it on a 2012 mac mini and the vga operated as it should.

  • Open Dialog Box file preview displays the images out of view or off center

    This is a relatively new problem and I cannot figure it out! When I go to open a file through Illustrator (using column preview) normally off to the right side there is a preview of the file. However now I can only see a tiny portion of the image like it's off center or something (see the far right side of the picture below. What is even more strange is when I open a file in Finder, the preview is normal. Any ideas on what it could be??
    Thanks!

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • Photoshop CS4 always opens off center

    Everytime I open Photoshop CS4 the center window appears "off center", sometimes waay down and to the right. The menus pop up in the right place but the center comes on messed up. Is there a fix for this?

    I take it back, it did work. The PS help led me astray at first but I tried a diff. way to reset prefs and now it works, thanks!

  • Lightroom printing is off center

    Hello all,  I just replaced my home computer after it got fried from an electrical surge.  While I was at it, I moved from a PC with XP to a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.  I had to transfer my Adobe License for Photoshop too and moved to CS5.  The move has been great so far,  but when I print out of Lightroom 2.7 with my Epson 3800 my prints are either off center or off the page.  Printing with my previous PC setup was perfect and now I am totally baffled.  I am in a bit of a time crunch too,  as I need to get a photo shoot printed and delivered to a client.  I even thought about dowloading the Lightroom 3 Beta to see if this would give me a temporary solution.  Any one have any ideas?  I have been searching the web for a few days looking  for a solution and my tech person is baffled too.
    Many Thanks,

  • Z97M GAMING no hdmi signal with DVI converter

    My monitor has VGA/DVI only (Samsung SyncMaster 213T), I have a HDMI to DVI converter in the DVI port, this works with the HDMI out from my laptop.
    Am putting together a Z97M/4790K rig. I get no signal at the monitor from the Z97M's HDMI out, if I connect it to a TV I do get a signal.
    Am using the same (short) HDMI cable and adaptor with both the laptop and the new Z79M, used the same cable to connect the Z79M to the TV.
    So the cable and converter are good (they work with the laptop) and the Z79M HDMI port and cable are good with the TV.
    Anyone have any idea why the Z97M HDMI output wont display on my monitor? (Any bios settings to make the HDMI signal more compatable?)

    Yes, to be clear, there is no GPU. When I say the Z97M's HDMI out I mean the output from the Z97M motherboard. I have tried it with a second screen, the TV (it worked).
    Logically one of two things must be happening... either the Z97M's HDMI signal isn't making it through the DVI/HDMI adaptor (when the laptop's signal is), or the monitor cannot process the Z97M's HDMI signal (when it can process the laptop's).
    HDMI and DVI signals are the same, so the adaptor is just a plug converter ('square plug in round hole') and unlikely to be the issue, especially as it works with the laptop.
    But both the monitor and laptop (which work together with HDMI and the DVI converter) are >5 years old. The Z97M is very new and could be it's HDMI output just isn't compatable in some way with the (relatively) old monitor.
    Hence am wondering (for example) if there are any Z97M bios settings which might make it talk nicely to the old monitor.
    Be interested to hear if anyone has had issues (or even success!) using the HDMI out with DVI monitors, especially old Samsung SyncMasters ?
