How to get full resolution on Samsung E2420L monitor?

I bought a Samsung E2420L external monitor for my MacBook Pro.  The box says 1920 x 1080, however I can't seem to get the Mac to push more than 1600 x 900.  Samsung doesn't list any Mac drivers, how can I get the full resolution?
Thanks!

Use extended mode rather than mirrored mode in your display settings on your computer. Uncheck mirrored". Mirrored mode mirrors your computer display, including the resolution, to the external monitor. Extended mode lets you use the external monitor's native resolution.

  • How to get full resolution screenshots from iPad with Retina display?

    A coworker in another state has an iPad 3 with Retina display. I need him to email me some screenshots from his iPad. The native resolution is 2048x1536 yet every screenshot he sends me is only 1280x960 when opened in Photoshop. We've tried copying and pasting an individual photo in the mail message, as well as going to the camera roll, selecting 1 or multiple images and then sharing to a mail message, but all I ever get is 1280x960. This happens regardless of what the screenshot is of (either a specific app or just the iPad home screen).
    Why aren't I getting full 2048x1536 screenshots? What do we need to do to get them? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

  • How to get better resolution on graphical borders in Pages?

    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. Seems to be only screen resolution (100-150 dpi)? Is this a bug in Pages – how to get better resolution for these borders when exporting for example to PDF?

    Here you see the issue. The Document's size is A6 landscape, means 14.8x10.5 cm, and it prints and shows really pixelated

  • How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1

    How to get full screen caller pic in ios 7.1.Please help me

    Haha .. I have seen one million post on this issue since 7.1 was released. Everybody hates it and it is perhaps Apple's stupidest design decision. I, personally, happen to like it ... or not mind it as much either way, I should say.
    But that's not what you asked ... Apple thought it was best for some odd reason to change the full screen pics to an itty bitty circle. As a previous poster said, it cannot be changed. But be sure to go to Apple's feedback website and let them know you are unhappy about it. I sense an iOS 7.1.1 coming out REAL soon!

  • Can I get full resolution images on my iPhone?

    I was wondering if there's a way to get full resolution images on my iPhone, because everything that I synched get's blury when you zoom in. I know that the images on my computer are big enough, because on of the smaller ones is 1024x1578.

    Check this link - about halfway down under "Photo Optimization and Storage Requirements".

  • Macbook pro stopped displaying full resolution on Dell U2713HM monitor

    Hey guys,
    I'm using the late 2013" retina Macbook Pro with OSX Mavericks.
    I've been using a Mini DP to DP cable to output full 2560 x 1440 on my 27" Dell U2713HM.
    One day while I had that monitor plugged in, I also plugged in my HDTV via HDMI for an extra screen. When I did that, it set my Dell to 1080p and ever since then I cant seem to change the resolution back to its native res.
    When I go to the display options for this monitor, under "Scaled Resolutions", the entire section is blank. It gives me nothing to choose from. I've restarted my computer a few times, plugged the cable into the other Thunderbolt port, nothing.
    I've tried new cables and went to the Apple Store and they did a PRAM reset. It seemed to work fine when they hooked up a Thunderbolt display to it. But I just cant get my Dell to go full res again. I tried the first cable on another mac and a PC and both let me view it in full resolution. Just not my Mac.
    Any advice? It makes no sense why it was working perfectly fine for a long time and then completely refuses to do so only on mine.

    I have the same setup - late 2013 macbook pro with Dell u2713hm. I've tried connecting with both a mini dp cable to dp (as included with the dell monitor) and also a hdmi cable and I get a strange result - I get full resolution but it looks terrible - pixalated and faded.
    I also have a macbook from around 2009 which I can connect using a dp-dvi adapter and then the dual dvi connector that came with the monitor. It gets a lower resolution but actually looks better.
    Any ideas? Have you seen this issue with your setup (which seems the same as mine).
    Thanks,

  • HT204264 Optimize storage on an iOS device. When or how do the full resolution copies get removed

    I have been using iCloud photo library for a week and have been using it to look at some old photos and watch old videos from the photos app on an iPhone. After vieiwing this old data the library now takes up more space on the phone. I have optimize storage turned on.
    I assume the iPhone is just storing thumbnails of everything in the library, and when accessing a file it then downloads the full resolution copy (or a higher resolution copy fit for viewing on an iPhone). My question is when does this full or higher resolution copy "return to the iCloud" so to speak, so you are just left with the thumbnail? Or can this be done manually?
    For example say I take a 1GB video on my phone today and it gets uploaded to the iCloud photo library today, when will the full resolution copy dissapear from the iPhone and just the thumbnail or lower resolution copy is left taking up space on the phone?
    I have a 70GB library, the amount of space taken up on the phone for photo library was around 5GB a week ago, after a week of accessing some of this old data it's now around 15GB
    Many thanks

    Since it does not look like apple developers provided us with any information on when optimization will occur, I am under impression that people with large
    libraries are better off by staying with icloud beta library turned off at the very least on the phone.

  • How do I get full resolution from Photo Booth?

    My camera is 720 p but pics taken with Photo Booth are only 221 kb. Is this right? Is there a way to get higher resolution from Photo Booth?

    Yeah, that sounds about right for a camera of that pixel count.

  • HT204291 How to get full screen display in AirPlay mirroring on Apple TV?

    Hi there,
    I am using airplay from my iPad (new). Mirroring doe not utilize 100% of my screen width. There is always 3 inches of screen initialized on either side.
    I tried using all the screen resolution of video in settings it does not help. Ting to note is that the problem is occurring only for mirroring. If I play videos directly in YouTube on Apple TV I get full display. Any reason how to resolve this to achieve full screen and 100% Mirroring?

    No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.

  • Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

    I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
    I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
    Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • W520: How to get full speed and turbo on battery power

    Here is how you get around the on battery max frequency limitation (of 1.2 GHz, at least for my i7-2620M) and no turbo (well, almost, read on):
    0. Assuming you have max performance enabled everywhere possible (BIOS/PowerManager/Windows Power Scheme)
    1. Load ThrottleStop.
    2. Set the multiplier manually to your maximum multiplier (e.g., 27x for i7-2620M, 23x for i7-2820QM, etc...) or Turbo (which is the setting after your max multiplier).
    3a. Enable ThrottleStop
    3b. (optional) Check in CPU-Z and make sure that your highest multiplier is being used when the CPU is utilized. If you selected Turbo, you should have turbo enabled at this point.
    4. Disable ThrottleStop
    5. Exit ThrottleStop, so that it doesn't waste any battery power, since it is no longer needed
    This will change the max frequency (and max multiplier) available from whatever Lenovo decided to arbitrarily fix it at (e.g., 1.2GHz) to the correct max frequency (which in my case is 2.7 GHz / 3.2 GHz for turbo). Now your laptop will be able to correctly go from 800MHz to whatever is the max frequency of your CPU, using both EIST and C1E. Turbo will also kick in, if you enabled it in ThrottleStop and the Lenovo PowerManager app will even show it as enabled.
    Thanks Unclewebb for letting us get around this stupid max CPU frequency limitation that Lenovo has imposed on us.
    Disclaimer:
    Do this at your own risk, since Lenovo does not officially support it.
    Turn on active cooling, if you do CPU intensive stuff for any prolonged period of time. This will take away some on battery time, but if battery time is of ultimate concern to you, then this change is probably not for you to begin with.
    If you go through prolonged periods of CPU intensive activity, you will lower your battery life and produce a lot of battery heat, because you will have a relatively high discharge rate. A high discharge rate reduces both the number of charge cycles and the maximum charge capacity of a Li-Ion battery. I don't know how safe all of this is, so do this at your own risk and probably monitor temperatures along the way. Other laptops can do Turbo and full speed on battery power (e.g., the slim 3 lb Sony Z, with the i7-2620M), but then other laptops have different designs and cooling systems, so who knows how the Lenovo W520 hardware will react to this.

    Hi,
    I have the opposite problem - my i7-2720QM is fixed at 2.2GHz no matter how hard I spank 1, 2 or all cores, and no matter what System Performance settings I apply.  It even runs at this speed, and gives the same bench marks when on battery  with the "system performance" set to Low.    
    No one even knows what the various System Performance settings actuall mean. E.g. Neither Lenvo support nor these forums could tell me what the difference between "Maximum Turbo","Turbo" or even "Low" under "System Performance" in the Lenovo power manager Advanced settings.
    I have been trying go get turbo boost to work for 2 months. I have wasted so much time with this machine, I could have bought 2 Macbook pros for the cost of the time lost.
    I dont know why Lenovo have disabled the turbo boost (and the opposite, turbo drop?)  feature for this CPU - is it deliberate, or incompetence?  Its certainly false marketing and extremely annoying that I have to use my ancient PC to do single threaded type work which I know the Laptop can manage if it were not crippled.
    So people whos clock speed drops when on battery are the lucky ones.  Mone doesnt even if I want it to.

  • How to get full path in file browse item

    Hi
    I have a file item. When I submit the form and store and value in db, then the file path is stored as numbers and appended to the file name. I undestand that this is because of some wwv flow files index or something . How to get the file path? Anybody...

    For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
    Changes to IE's security config can enable the path to be exposed in IE8, but I don't think it will be available via <tt>apex_application_files</tt>.
