How do I set the 4k resolution?

I have a MacPro with dual D700 and 6xDP and HDMI1.4. The latter is limited to 4k30 (UHD24-30 and C4K24) by the standard. I have connected this port to a Samsung 40HU6950 4k TV that supports all four HDMI 4k modes.
The MP is defaulting to C4K and thus outputting 4096x2160 at the only supported refresh rate of 24Hz. I would rather run it at UHD30 (3840x2160p30) because (a) the refresh rate will be 25% higher and (b) I will reduce the scaling artifacts that the 6.6% reduction from 4096 to 3840 may be causing in the TV as the panel is really UHD.
The displays Control Panel for the Sammy does not give me any options, only "what is best for this TV" and five Scaled options (which are all zoom modes). However, the latter is still using the C4K resolution. I would rather the output be UHD30 with chosen Scale level, but that's not how the system operates (yet). Regardless of how the visual elements are scaled, I should be able to choose between the timing formats.
The reason for this is the mouse movement is laggy and non-fluid. When vendors start selling DP-to-HDMI2 dongles in a couple months, this nightmare should be over and I can output 60Hz. But I really want it to be UHD so every incoming datum matches with a screen element (fixing 'b' above).
Theoretically, I could remove the EDID from the Samsung and reprogram it to NOT have C4K, but this is extreme and not what you would do while still under warranty. It also presupposes that the EDID is not embedded in the silicon and can be removed. An alternative would be to use a "golden EDID", which is where the data structure is held within the Mac itself and the one in the TV is ignored. This is used when TV's is wrong or bad
Thoughts?

Well, that was helpful. There were a whole bunch of resolutions in there, and ironically, UHD30 was at the top of the list (like it was Preferred or something).
I changed the res and the mouse movement immediately became smoother. However, after about 9s, the screen went dark for about 2s, therm came back. I'm going to have to see how stable this turns out to be. But it looks really good right now.
I may grab the EDID, parse it, and but some insights about it here. I did searches for UHD and 3840, but did not find anything useful. And there should be

  • How can I set the screen resolution ?

    hello brothers.
    my program works ultimately at 1024/768 screen resolution.
    since I want to make sure that peaple who using that program will see it correct, I want to explicitly change the resolution of the screen.
    how can I do that? please..

    I believe you use the setDisplayMode() method of the GraphicsDevice object to do this.
    If you go to http://www.scottshaver2000.com/ and download the source code to H.E.A.T., you will find a nice example of video mode switching. His game pops up a window showing the available configurations, then lets you select the one you want and switch to it.
    The applicable classes are in his com.sas.gui package: FullScreenJFrame.java and VideoModeSelector.java.

  • How do I change the printer resolution?

    How do I change the printer resolution on my OSX 10.6.2 laptop?
    I have an ubuntu print server and it seems to only work at all using the gutenprint drivers. On my ubuntu client I had to change the print resolution from "auto" to 600x600 to make it work just fine.
    The best I can do is make the Mac print pages squished down to 1/4 size. I don't see the same resolution option on the Mac.
    Mac OSX 10.6.2
    Ubuntu Server 9.10
    Printer: Canon S900
    Cups driver: Canon S800 Gutenprint v5.2.3
    Cups version 1.4.2 on the mac
    Cups version 1.3.9 on Ubuntu Server
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    I can't speak for the printer directly, but most functions to change resolution are in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the print dialog. It has a gray bar running through it separating the basic functions from the advanced settings.
    If you don't see that, but do see a blue button with a black triangle pointing down, click on that. Then you'll be able to set the advanced settings.
    Once you set up the printer the way you like, save it as a preset. If you want that as a default, see this [MacOSXHint|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153].

  • Set the System resolution

    hi all,
    I want to set the screen resolution in java 1.3.

    Now i want to set the new resolution. Please tell me how to set it.

    Please i need help. thanks.

    Hi,
    I don't think this is possible in pure Java, you'll have to look to native (JNI)
    JNative is done for that, unfortunately it needs 1.5.0 to run.

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

  • How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
    it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
    In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
    can some one give me some help ?
    Thanks ,

    See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    It says
    One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,

  • How do I set the audience when I'm using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook

    How do I set the audience privacy for when I’m using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook?
    When I ask Siri to post a message to my Facebook Siri tells me what I have said and then asks tot post it, I then checked on my computer and the post is visible to "ME ONLY" I can change this on the computer and on my phone via the App but I do not want to be doing that all the time.
    If I post to Facebook via Siri on my iPhone 5 I want it at the default setting of friends only.
    So How do I change this?
    I posted the first one 2 minutes ago then went into Facebook via the App and changed it but did a second one hoping that the default privacy had changed but it was again to me only. As you can see via the padlock. Please help. Thanks

    What if you do need help or emergency situation while Posting FB via Siri is the fastest way to show you or someone is in danger, and he/she is dying because the post is Only visible to Me !?!?!?!???
    Anyone who uses FaceBook to get immediate help for life threatening emergency is mercifully removing themselves from the gene pool.

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!
