How to resize my monitor resolution in OS X 10.5.8

Hello I have a question I am new to mac and I was trying to resize my desktop resolution. I'm using a 720i TV utilizing the HDMI and using the convertor to make it DVI and for some reason when I use the 720 resolution its all off center and it won't let me resize it like it does in Windows but it works when i have it at 1280 x 960 problem is I don't want that resolution it doesn't look as good on my TV. I have tried everything and can't find any software that will allow me to do this. And I use the same monitor for my Windows machine and it works perfect PLEASE HELP

Yeah..... I know that I want to know how to resize a resolution the 1280 x 720 doesn't show up right it's making everything go off the sides so I can't see everything on my desktop in windows my nvidia control panel would allow me to resize my monitor to fit any resolution i want to know how to do that on a mac

  • U110 How to Retain External Monitor Resolution

    I'm trying to help someone with an IdeaPad U110 and an external monitor.  The Lenovo allows me to login with an external keyboard and monitor but as soon as it boots Windows, the external monitor goes dark and I have to choose FnF3 each time to re-enable the external monitor and then reset the resolution to 1680 X 1050.  Isn't there a way to get the Lenovo to retain these settings so I don't have to do this each time I boot it up?  THANKS!!

    Hi JLNH,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Please try these steps.
    1 – Click the Start button.
    2 – Click Control Panel.
    3 – Click Appearance and Personalization.
    4 – Click Adjust screen resolution.
    Now once you have the resolution page
    1 Select your exrernal monitor
    2 Set the display type to duplicate
    3 Place a check
    Restart the computer and check if it remains on.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!
     

  • HOW TO RESIZE MONITOR RESOLUTION

    Can anyone tell me if i distribute a cd with a projector on
    it, is it possible to resize the monitor resolution to 800*600
    automatically? and when the projector is closed can i have it
    return the monitor back to the owners previous settings??? Or
    should i just have a note with disc saying 'best viewed at 800*600.
    If it possible to do this in Director Mx can anybody tell me
    how?

    > if i set the projector full screen (800*600), how about
    those computer with different resolution.
    Fullscreen means your projector will play at whatever stage
    size you
    have set. The border around the stage will be at the size of
    the monitor
    resolution (effectively filling the screen - hence the name)
    and with
    the color of your stage background. Try it and see.

  • How to resize media's visual component resolution

    Hello dear:
    How to resize visual component resolution?
    example:
    I have a movie,this movie's resolution is 800*600dpi,I want this movie's visual component is 600*520.
    Thanks

    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                   int w = 0, h = 0;
                   if (vc != null) {
                        Dimension size = vc.getPreferredSize();

                   if (w < 160)
                        w = 160;
                   return new Dimension(w, h);
    these codes can't change movie's aspect ratio,eg one movie resolution is 600*500,I can't change this movie resolution to 400*400 on playing. The Transcode.java is chanage the movie file resolution, not my expect.
    I wish the one movie resolution is 600*500,this movie full window in the JPanel that resolution is 400*400.

  • How to resize the front panel to fit different resolutions

    I m using LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP SP2
    I've tried both “maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions” and “scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected but just messed up everything when i switched to another different resolution. It's annoying since I'm using 22 inch monitor to do the coding but the user supposed to run it on laptop or wince.
    Any solutions to it?
    Thx in advance.

    Thank you all. Following is the reply from NI support.  I think the best way is to edit vi in low resolution.
    One of the easiest ways to tackle varying screen resolutions is to design
    the front panel to the lowest resolution that you expect it to run on. It
    should then look acceptable on any screen larger than that.
    However, you can get a bit more tricky by programmatically determining the
    computer's screen resolution and then dynamically changing the size of your
    front panel objects. Use an Application Property Node and select
    Display>>All Monitors to return the current screen size. Then, according to
    the screen size, you can size the control or indicator programmatically
    using the Size property node for your front panel objects.
    Ultimately, these issues have often been a result of font size issues.
    Specifically, this can be a problem when two machines have different
    desktop theme/font settings. If your objects are coming out in different
    sizes on different computers, you can setup up LabVIEW to use the same font
    on different systems by modifying the .INI file.
    The easiest way is to do this: use Tools->Options->Fonts from the LabVIEW
    GUI. You can then set the system fonts to anything you want. After you
    have done this on one machine, open your INI file (it is in the same
    directory as the LabVIEW executable) with any text editor and copy the
    corresponding entries to another file. Add these entries to the INI files
    on any machines you want to lock to font. You will probably run into
    issues if you are supporting different platforms (Windows and Mac or Mac
    and Linux, for example), since the fonts you want may not be available on
    both platforms. There are Windows fonts available for both Mac and Linux
    platforms, so this can be somewhat ameliorated.
    This is all I can think of, but that's not to say these are the only
    solutions. You might check the Discussion Forums, as many of our LabVIEW
    Champions have tackled similar issues and offer their expertise as well.
    Here's just a few threads that I'd like to refer you to:

    But I am getting this alert from SCOM and SCOM has no information about the alert for me to find out what to do - thought that was the point of SCOM to let you know of problems and how to resolve them. :)
    The alert is coming from the Error Count Monitor that is part of the Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions (v 4.0.0.0)
    I have tried looking in the Event Logs on the Host and there doesn't seem to be any storage related errors there. I am trying to establish if this is a false positive, why it is happening and if it is safe to override and ignore.
    There is nothing on the Product Knowledge tab and nothing on the Alert Context other than what I have already mentioned (see below).
    Thanks for responding.

  • How to resize project without losing the image resolution?

    I am trying to resize a project that recorded in 1271 x 768
    px to 800 x 483 px. I did it by clicked 'Project' > 'Resize
    Project...'. But after resize, the resolution of the movie is not
    clear, became blur. How to resize the project so that I'll have
    clearer movie? Thanks.

    Hi obtis and welcome to our community
    Unfortunately, there is little you may do to avoid this. The
    best way to avoid it is to simply record initially at the size you
    need so you don't have to use the Resize function.
    Here's the deal. Captivate stores images in the project as
    bitmapped images. Otherwise known as "raster" images. Basically
    they are a mosaic that comprises the picture. Initially, all is
    well and is crystal clear. But when you scale down a raster or
    bitmapped image, you are simply moving all the picture elements
    (PixEls) closer together. They overlap and the computer will
    calculate new values for what color they should be. Depending on
    how much you are resizing, the clarity drop can be acceptable or
    horribly bad. The more you resize smaller the worse it gets.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • How do you determine correct monitor resolution

    monitor resolution changes in system preferences is not restting the display back to correct resolution.
    how do i determine the correct setting so the desktop image is not running off the sides of the screen?

    do you choose the "best for display" radio button ?
    for me that set the correct resolution
    of cause if you set it to mirror it will not be it's native resolution if the display it's mirroring is in a lower resolution

    Go to system prefs>displays and set your resolution way down. Let OS X open with the new resolution. Then set it back up to the highest available resolution and the window should position itself correctly.

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.

  • How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

    How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp.  Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

  • Dynadock WUXGA monitor resolution

    I have a SAMSUNG 730U3E laptop connected to the Toshiba Dynadock U3.0 and have several hardware items connected to the dynadock like network cable, wireless mouse and keayboard and BenQ 24" WUXGA monitor.
    I haven't updated my drivers since January 2014 which means i was on the v7.4.51587.0 (aka v7.5 M0) before i went to ugrade to the latest drivers. When i upgraded to the latest avaliable driver v7.7.59540.0 (aka v7.7M3) i noticed my monitor is forced into HD1080 resolution instead of the WUXGA. What's more, i didn't notice any WUXGA resolution avaliable for the monitor in either Windows 8.1 (64 bit) Control Panel options nor in the dynadock U3.0 options menu.
    I've tried with various (not all) v7.7 and v7.6 drivers. Every one i've tried missed the WUXGA resolution. Did the dynadock drop support for the WUXGA resolution?
    Is there any way how to force the WUXGA resoultion on the new dynadock drivers?
    I've currently reverted back to the v7.4 drivers which are mostly stable (with minor issues when i unplug my laptop from the dynadock which usually requires a restart to fix the resolution issue when i plug it back to the dock).

    Hi, James -
    Re the monitor resolution, try throwing away the files Display Preferences and Monitor Preferences (the latter is in a folder by the same name). Then restart, and redo any settings necessary in the Monitors control panel.
    Make sure the correct profile is selected for your monitor. That selection is made in the Monitors control panel, by clicking the Color button.
    Re the sleep function, what is the exact message given?
    Are you using the automatic sleep functions in the Energy Saver control panel? Or, are you using the Sleep item in the Special menu or the Control Strip?

  • How do I put high resolution pictures on my new iPad?

    So I picked up a new iPad and I love it but when I try to put high resolution photos (2048x2048) for the wallpaper on it it resizes them to 1024 for example... This happens via email and when I download them from a website.
    HOw do I get high resolution photos on my iPad to take advantage of the awesome screen?

    Sync photos from your computer. If the new iPad is like the iPad 2 the photos will be sized to display at the screens resolution. Thus they should look stunning on your new iPad.

  • How to resize Labels size based on the column margin changes in JTable??

    Please, help me out in finding a solution for this...

    Hi pritam,
    The “maintain proportions of window for different monitor
    resolutions” property will maintain the proportional size of the front panel
    (its x and y sizes) when opened in a different resolution. The front panel
    objects will not be resized and will appear larger (and may not fit inside the
    front panel) when saved in a higher resolution, and moved to a lower
    resolution. You can use the “Keep window proportions” property to achieve the
    same results.
    To have both the front panel dimensions and front panel
    controls scale, you need to have both the above property and the “scale all
    objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected. The labels will not be
    resized by this.
    I tried using both properties on two monitors and noticed
    that the change does not occur when the resolutions between the monitors are
    different. I had to lower both monitors’ resolution to see the change work
    properly.
    Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great day!
