Is anyone experience display resolution problems on MBP15"I7 after OS Lion install?

I installed OS Lion on my MacBook pro 15" one week ago. I have installed the 10.7.1 update. Like many, I have experienced a dramatic slowdown in performance - Aperture is now unusable. My most immediate problem is that the display has lost its sharpness - I have tried all the resolution options in System preferences/displays. Non of the options available on display resolution allow the diplay to align to the screen paramenters and all leave the text and graphics slightly unfocussed. Is this a common problem, and are there solutions out there? Many thanks.

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

Problem with mail after mountain lion install

Mail has become sluggish to locking up after Mountain Lion install. I get the color wheel each time I start typing in an address to send an email. I also get the wheel when i am typing an address or name in any web page in Safari. Is this a Mail Problem or an Address Book problem?

It sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned up. Have your repaired permissions or cleared caches since you got the computer. Often times when upgrading operating systems permissions get screwed up and it causes issues. Go to disk utility in your "other" folder in applications. Select disk utility, then on the left hand side choose Mac HD then click REPAIR permissions in the center section. Wait for it to finish, restart your computer, then test.

Windows 7 display resolution problem on iMac 27"

Hi, I have an iMac 27" that is running bootcamp with Windows 7. The resolution on the OS X is fine, but on the Windows 7 side, it is messed up. The display resolution choices make the screen look all stretched and weird; I cannot select the same resolution as I have on the OSX side. The display drivers say that they are generic, so I tried installing manufactuer's drivers. That did not work since they couldn't detect the correct monitor. I've run software update on he Mac OSX side, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

updates for osx will not affect windows
in osx one can make a packet with all drivers required for bootcamp windows do that
and if you need drivers for windows download the mobile version what amd/ati and nvidia call desktop videocards
are not the type used in imacs they use the laptop versions

External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
So did the refresh rate option...
What do I do?
I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

HT1766 Has anyone else had a problem with their phone after using the cable to upload photos from Camera stream to computer photo program? My phone is frozen, cannot get into use phone, cannot connect to the Internet, and even APPLE is stumped.

I only have my IPhone5 for two months and am very upset that now they may need to give me a new phone and lose anything that may not have been recently backed up by the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you reseolve it? Hard reboots did not help.

Anyone experiencing screen resolution problems after latest Mavericks Update?

Anyone got a blurred monitor after the latest Mavericks Update?
I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on a Mini Mac with a Logic TV/Monitor. Since the latest Mavericks update I no longer have the option in settings to scale to 1600 x900. Since this gives the best picture on my monitor I now have either a blurred screen with large text or a blurred screen with very tiny text. No other options that give a 'normal' display seem available now, after allowing the 'Update'. The update claims to be addressing faults on the MacBook display, which it may well do, but it has also apparently screwed up Mac Mini screen resolution Options for some of us.
I have reverted back to 10.9.2 and turned off automatic updates, but I can't stay that way indefinitely.
I've tried to find an e-mail address or phone number to log my complaint to Apple but to no avail. (I guess they would otherwise be inundated with customer complaints so keep that kind of information under wrapps). Anyone got any ideas?

I'm not having any problems with dual DVI connected Samsung 21.5" monitors in 10.9.3
What connection (adapter, cable, etc.) are you using..?

Macbook Pro 13 inch & External Display - resolution problem

Hi
I'm trying to connect my macbook pro 13inch to an NEC 26' Multisync display - which has a native resolution of 1900 x 1200 - and when connected to a PC this is what I get. When I connect the mac though the top resolution is 1900 x 1080 - so the display is distorted.
I've tried finding diplay drivers for the monitor and graphics card without success. Apparently the GEForce 9400 graphics in the macbook can output up to 2500 x 1600.
I'm wondering if it's the connection method - I'm using the mini display to VGA adapter that I got with the macbook. Do I need to use the alternative adapter - the mini display port to DVI adapter? Seems this is needed for connection to 'advanced' displays. Will this make any difference or is it that the macbook 13 inch can't output to a 26in display?
Any advice or assistance will be greatly appreciated
Many Thanks
Tim Gundry

I would get the DVI regardless.
Your taking a digital signal from the macbook, converting to to anolage VGA, and the the monitor is converting it back to digital again to display on the screen.
DVI will make it direct digital to digital.
Plus, because DVI is digital, is passes resolution information. So you should get your native resolution no problem.

Display Resolution problems

I have a 17" MacBook pro with Lion on it as of 3 days ago. Been working fine until I connected my 30" display to it. When I connected it, the display went all wonky. I rebooted, disconnected, many combination of each. Now my MBP will not even display at full resolution when disconnected from the external monitor. Scoured this forum and the internet for similar problems, and while I found multiple issues relating to displays with a Lion upgrade, I did not see any issues specifically with screen resolution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Will

Hi Capt,
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately not the solution. I have the two screens in extend mode, and both at max resolution (2560x1600 for the 30" and 1920x1200 for the laptop display).
It seems the computer is having difficulties fitting the screen onto the monitor, like it does when you select a resolution that is too large for your monitor. The entire screen is being rendered, but I have to pan right and down to see the whole thing. When I have the external display connected (as main screen), I can see part of it on the laptop display. So the rendering is working... it just cant display at the correct resolution.

Display resolution problem with Lightroom 5 on a laptop

I installed Lightroom 5 on my older Lenovo laptop with 12080x768 native screen resolution. This meets the minimum display requirements, BUT... When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes. This problem occurs with other Lightroom windows also. So I can not use Lightroom 5 on this laptop. Any idea how to solve the problem?

as long as your computer meets lr5's specs, no.

10.8.3 display resolution problem

Heya. My monitor resolution has been working fine on my mid 2010 MacMini without any problems since 2010.
Since the 10.8.3 update my screen resolution keeps resetting itself to 800 x 600 after waking from sleep. When I go to the Displays system pref there is a (new to me at least) option 'Best for Display' that is selected. When I select the Scaled option my monitor resolution (1680 x 1050, which i have been using successfully for years) is not listed.
I have tried the following steps:
1. Using the monitor's Auto/Set button to re-set the resolution
2. Reset the system PRAM
At this stage the only way to get the monitor resolution back is to restart the machine.
Specs:
Mid 2010 MacMini (2.4GHz Intel Core Duo)
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB
4Gb RAM
LG Flatron W2242S 23" monitor
Connected to Mac via VGA adaptor into Display Port.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received, thanks
Mark

I found a fix. If your desired monitor resolution isn't available, hold the Option button in the Displays prefs and a 'Detect Displays' button magically appears at the bottom right of the window (by the ? button). This gave me the 1680x1050 resolution that I needed.
Not sure exactly why you need to press to Option button for Detect Displays to appear, but there you go!

Display resolution problem

For some reason I can't adjust the screen resolution so that the display doesn't look so pixilated. I have the display setting to the "recommended" and highest ratio 1280 x 800. But images still don't look smooth but pixilated as though I am using reduced resolution. I have checked to make sure my display driver is up-to-date too.
Thanks!

No one has any recommendations on how to fix this?
