HDTV is getting bad resolution

I have an imac, and a 32in DYNEX HDTV i have the hdmi cable conneted and the resolution is horrible! Can anybody help me! Its very frustrating!

I'm with you brother. I just bought the late 2012 edition. I think the problem relies on our PCs and HDTVs feeding off of HDMI now. They look like Windows XP on an HDTV.
Only way to resolve this is to buy a monitor that we're supposed to use for these things to read text mostly. Playing video games like the automator character here, they work just fine. Just don't plan on reading books on your Mac Mini HDTV.

  • Bad resolution when I save for web

    Just got Illustrator CC and its really bad resolution when I try to save for web on my new MacBook pro Retina (Don't know if it got anything to do with it)

    if you draw something using paths in illustrator and save it as AI or PDF, it will maintain those paths and draw its appearance (strokes etc) to whatever resolution you screen is at (or whatever you print it at). if you save something for web, it will convert those appearances into pixels. if you zoom in on those pixels, all they can do is get larger and make your image appear more blocky. when you save for web, you want the resolution of what you're saving to be the same as the resolution it will be used at. if you save an image at 100x100 pixels and then view it at that size on screen, it will look as good as you screen is capable of showing. if you enlarge it, it won't.

  • Generating movies with bad resolution

    Hello all, Hello all,
    I hope everything is going well and I apologize for my poor English. I am creating movies using IMovie’08 and sharing with IDVD. The final result that I get generating DVD is a video with bad resolution.
    I have recorded all videos in 1080i using a SR12 Sony handycam and imported to IMovie with this resolution. I prepare an IMovie project and shared by Media Browser using large size, that I know is a smallest size than 1080i.
    I set the encoding mode on IDVD to Professional Quality and generated a DVD. The result image’s quality on DVD is similar to a VHS tape! I generated 4 different DVD and tested all these DVD using different DVD players and different televisions and the result were always the same.
    Please, can someone inform me what I am doing wrong or provide me some tips to get better results?
    Thank you all in advance.

    No matter what you send to iDVD will be encoded as SD 640x480 "square" pixel content to a "720x40" rectangular pixel data matrix. In other words the best resolution you could expect would be half of what you started with and at the third generation of transcoding. (I.e., 1080i AVCHD => 1080i AIC/AIFF => 960x540 H.264/AAC => 720x480 (640x480) MPEG2/PCM.)
    can someone inform me what I am doing wrong or provide me some tips to get better results?
    If you are expecting HD quality on a standard DVD, then your expectations may be too high for this work flow. Using a more professional editor and/or burning as HD optical content may better suit your needs/expectations.

  • Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

    I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
    You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

  • Can you help me fix my screen? It randomly has a bluish tint, bad resolution and horizontal flashing lines

    Hi all,
    It's a 15" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP running on Leopard 10.5.8, bought spring 2008.
    About a couple of weeks ago, my screen started randomly switching to a strange blue / purple tint along with a bad resolution (can't really read text on screen) and flashing horizontal lines in the background. It started worrying me given I'm working with it all the time and am hoping for this machine to hold on for a few more months until I can buy a new one.
    It would happen randomly for a few minutes at a time and then revert back to normal screen.
    I found a lot of references to a similar problem in a few threads such as this one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1456983?tstart=0
    My screen has gone strange again now and isn't reverting back to normal so far even after I tried  restarting it. It was normal for 2 min only ans then back to bluish. I tried all the display fixes indicated in the threads but none of them work and I'm not exactly sure my issue is the same given I can still see the tint and horizontal lines in particular if the screen saver goes on, and the resolution on screenshots I've seen of other people having blue tint screen issues seems to be normal (as in text is legible).
    Any ideas on how to fix it? Do you think it might be more of a software or hardware problem..? Would it help if I try upgrading my Mac OS?
    Thank you very much for your time

    Thanks a lot for the reply, I was worried would say that outright. Screen just only reverted back to normal after a couple of hours. As you said probably best to bring it in for diagnosis, I'll try to do that asap though of course I'm nowhere neaar any AASP at the moment.

  • I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

    I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
    It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

  • Get higher resolutions for extended desktop

    We have a new iMac. We also have an older Apple Cinema HD display monitor that we're using with the iMac as an extended desktop. On the iMac, we're using 2560 x 1440 resolution; but the highest resolution we can get on the Cinema HD is only 1280 x 800. Does anyone know how we can get higher resolutions on our Cinema HD display monitor?

    I've been looking for a way to have the screen resolution change for different Apps too.  I can't find anything in Automator, but I hope there is a way..  Like you, I like my editing programs to be higher resolution and my finder, email and the rest to have a lower resolution.

    When using the «line effect» on a picture frame and choose a «image border», these borders a very pixelated and low resoltion when i.e. printing on a quality printer.

    My internet browser (chrome) displays images in a very bad resolution. I've tried other browsers (safari, firefox), same problem.

  • Hdmi adapter for Ipad has very bad resolution

    Hallo
    When i plug in my new Ipad digital-av adapter into my TV or projector the resolution is very bad and not shape.
    Do you also have this problem?

    You've identified that Acrobat's export of the image to PNG was spot on ("... on my Mac it is sharp.").
    Some possible sources of the web based image being of "bad resolution" present themselves.
    --| Some web based image hosting services provide uploaders that actually downsample an image.
    This is to reduce the image file's size and results in destructive remove of pixels. File size is smaller and resoultion can/does take a hit.
    --| There may be an issue related to the brower used. You could always install and try out other browsers to check this.
    --| You local machine may have a failing graphics card.
    There may be other issues. A web search might turn up some leads.
    Regardless, neither Acrobat nor Adobe Reader are web browsers and neither are "image viewers" for image file formats such as PNG.
    Be well...

  • Very bad resolution in menus (templates)

    I have a number of films taken with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera settings are set to NTSC with frame rate 60, AVCHD.
    In my iMac (OS X vers.10.7.3), I tried first to edit my movies in iMovie, but soon I discovered that iMovie did not properly manage the  AVCHD format.
    With Adobe's Premiere Elements , I could however handle the AVCHD format in an excellent manner. But when I got to the final stage to create a menu
    of my film footage (where I used Premiere's menu templates) the menus were very bad with poor resolutions. I could see this both at "preview" and on DVD.
    The actual films were great with a real AVCHD resolution on DVD.
    Why does this happen to the menus? Do I need to burn out my movies without menus?

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for the welcome.
    I have only used HD Menu Sets.
    But which one of the Available Presets in Project settings shall I use according to my camera settings (see my first question)?

    created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Elements - View the full discussion
    Did you use an HD Menu Set, or and SD Menu Set. As your AVCHD material is HD, you should use only an HD Menu Set.
    I also assume that you chose the proper Preset at New Project, to match your footage 100%. Is that correct, or did you choose something else.
    For the HD Project from that footage, you should be authoring a BD (Blu-ray Disc) and not a DVD, which is SD, and not HD, like the footage. Did you mean BD, when you typed "DVD?"
    Good luck, and welcome to the forum.
