Lenovo Helix - Max Screen res? 4k?

Just picked myself up a 4k TV and wondering if the Helix would be able to handle outputting 4k video from DP to HDMI 2.0? Or is that asking a bit much of the older intel graphics?
Does anyone know?

Intel hd 4000 doesn't support dp 1.2, it only supports 1.1. So max resolution is only 3840 x 1080 @ 60 hz.
That may not be correct. I am pretty sure I have the old X1 Carbon Touch (gen 1, 3rd gen i7) driving 3840x2160@30Hz 4K display via miniDisplayPort, it only has HD4000
Any tips on mini DP to HDMI cables? Or is this DP to DP?
I had a Kanex mini DP to HDMI, but it got savage artifacts and screen flickering at 1080p, gave it to my sister for her mac to run at 1080i and had to run a mini dp to dvi for 1080p.

Lenovo Helix - On-Screen Keyboard with Bitlocker

Hi Community,
i've tried to install Bitlocker on my Lenovo Helix with Windows 8.1 Pro. As long as the dock is connected with the tablet, you can decrypt the harddisk with the right key. But if the tablet hasn't a dock or an external keyboard you'll only see the blue bitlocker-homescreen and can't do anything.
Another helix in my company works with bitlocker - so i know it can work.
i've tried the following things:
     - different Bios-Versions
     - install all drivers and additional software
     - set up a new Windows 8/ Windows 8.1 (Pro)
The on-screen keyboard works by adding a Bios-password.
Btw: The helix won't let me install Windows in UEFI-Mode..
Can somebody help me?

current, it runs on legacy boot - the uefi bootloader doesn't work for x86 Win8.1 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=SF13-T0008)
well, i have to install 32-Bit. The helix in Uefi-Mode only boots from the x64-Win8.1-DVD (or USB-Stick)...

MacBook Pro (Late 2008/Unibody) Max screen res

I've just got a Samsung SA850 but bannot seem to select more that 1080p
Ideally I'd like to run it at native resolution.
Is this the maximum I can get?

The displayport to DVI won't support that high of a resolution. It would have helped earlier if you had mentioned that you had the 27" as opposed to a 24" SA850 is not enough info.
Use mini display port to display port. It will be cheap. http://www.walmart.com/ip/14294968?adid=22222222227000429891&wmlspartner=wlpa&wl 0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=13688118310&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem
The mini displayport to dual link to DVI will cost about $100.

Lenovo Helix - sending to second screen issues

Hi,
so i recently tried hooking up my lenovo helix up to my Sony TV (i don't have any more info on the TV than that, sorry) and a little bit of the screen on my helix was cut off, so i couldnt see the task bar at the bottom, or the tabs at the top of my browser. I was watching youtube, so it was pretty frusterating to watch in full screen mode because i couldn't see the progress bar at the bottom. i looked through the built menus on the TV, and couldnt find any way to change the dimensions. i was wondering if there is someway to change what size the screen is thats being sent on my helix. thanks in advance

hi TheoNet,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
That cable you're using is meant for HDMI to VGA.
I believe that this will not work. "VGA output only provides analog signals while HDMI input will only take digital signals".
Converting it through a cable will not work. It can be possible but you will need a Signal Trans-coder that converts analog to digital signal like this:

Hope this helps
Cheers!

After successful install, all my adobe cc docs, when open, change pointer arrow, i-beam and window to oversize. When doc closes all return to normal size. I'm on a PC. Screen res set to medium 1920x1200. Any ideas how to fix?

Lenovo Helix - Clean Install of Windows 8.1 - Best way to load Software and Drivers

I am considering doing a clean install of the Windows 8.1 operating system on my Lenovo Helix. What I am wondering is if (After I install the operating system) there is an easy way to get all teh lenovo drivers and software loaded without having to download/install each of them one at a time?
If not, is there a specific set or order from which they should be installed?
Is there anything I would lose by doing a clean install of 8.1?
Thanks....

Sarbin,
I only have one device issue that has popped up. My keyboard has begun to work somewhat wonky. Sometimes if I am in tablet mode then switch to keyboard mode the keyboard doesn't respond. It will only respond after several reboots/shutdowns. Is there a good way to make Lenovo System Update reinstall the keyboard drivers? If you have any advice on fixing this issue that would be great.
I also thought I was going to lose all teh Lenovo specific apps when I did a clean install. I didn't. The only one I don't see is one which was called "Lenovo Experience". It was nice but if that is all I lost then I am ok with it.
I love this computer. Now it feels like new again....
You're welcome.
Some things I prefer to install manually, outside of TVSU. BIOS and firmware are good examples. Have a look through the driver listing for the keyboard/dock update and scan the readme. The behavior you're seeing may be part of that fix.
Looking at one of my Win8 OEM-preload machines, the Lenovo Experience shortcut points at "dxpserver.exe". Maybe that info will help pinpoint if there's an installer for the complete package.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Lenovo Helix - Issue outputting to external monitor

I received my Lenovo Helix today and am having issues outputting to an external monitor. During initial setup output was working but with the occasional flicker, so I performed all Windows Updates and Lenovo updates, however now it will not output to external at all. Monitor is a Dell 2740L 1080p monitor using a Kanex MDPHD10ft mini displayport to HDMI cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lenovo Helix i7 256gb... wish I bought a Surface Pro for better support...

Has anyone found a solution for this issue yet? I was unable to get the Intel HD Graphics driver 9.17.10.2932 or 9.17.10.3071 to work. Sent the computer in to Lenovo; they have replaced the motherboard three times. I'm surprised that each time they sent the computer back, they didn't check to see if they had actually fixed the output problem.
It appears that the problem lies in the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver (see: http://www.eightforums.com/graphic-cards/7743-those-troubled-hdmi-sync-issues-intel-hd-3000-4000-etc... ).
For a company with a long legacy of sucess, Lenovo has sure disappointed this time. It's going to be hard to recommend their computers to anyone if they can't even acknowledge that they put a nonfunctioning port on their laptops.

300 dpi images turn fuzzy when export as interactive or screen res pdf

Hi, my print brochure is fine, sharp, linked etc. But when I try to export as interactive pdf or screen res pdf, for online purposes, my clean logos and pix turn nasty. Do I need to change them individually to 72dpi and change them to rgb (i thought the export process did this automatically)? Thanks in advance to any answers.

If you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive), the default is 72 ppi, but you can set it to a higher value. All images will automatically be convert to RGB, with, I believe, an sRGB profile, according to Dov.

Screen res issues

hi all i desgined some pages (using the same template cause
im lazy!!!!) in 1280 x 1024 screen res if veiwed in this res its
fine but if viewed in a lower res it all goes out of place so to
speak any simple ways of resolving this???
effected sites:
www.asbestosbags.co.uk www.shrinkfilm.org.uk
www.bagonroll.co.uk www.refusesacks.org.uk
any help would be appreciated.

> any simple ways of resolving this???
Not really. The page must be built from the ground up to fit
in the lowest
expected browser viewport size (screen resolution is really
NOT the variable
you need to consider).
Your nearly identical pages are built in flexible tables -
<table width="105%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="4">
(why 105%?)
and are resizing just the way you have told them to.

HP Mini Ability To View Win 8 Metro Under Its MAX Screen Resolution When Released :(

This is just a question and I know it has got to be posted many, many time somewhere. I absolutely love the Mini and when I had some issues after my purchase a few months ago, the fantastic support agent even said when the actual Win 8 is released, it will be so cool on it. Well, one major problem I never caught. While the Mini Desktop portion of Win 8 Consumer preview works great, the HP Mini ability to view Win 8 Metro under Its MAX screen resolution is not possible. Now I know HP does not support the consumer preview as of yet but am I just out of luck by the release date? Will there be some kind of patch or ability for current Mini buyers to use Win 8 Metro when released? I asked this question in a Win 8 forum and the response I got was just that Notebooks are not designed for these kinds of features and are simple in nature. I agree but that is backward having a small device that will not be able to use Windows 8 except on its Desktop and furthermore, something tells me that Minis after 2013 will? Help....

Anyway, I know there is nothing that can be done about it-its just frustrating knowing that in about 7 months, the upgrade will not mean much to these minis and pretty much a new unit within 12 months of an OS release. I doubt MS will lower the resolution rate but the 600 is right at that line for many programs as well. I never would have thought-I am just stuck and was hoping the 210 would be compatible to an OS that is supposed to be friendly with the smaller devices-now this is ironic.

I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160 when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size   I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt

Please help@

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

VirtualBox Max Screen Resolution

I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview in VirtualBox on my Mac and everything went very smooth and fast! But I have a few problems if anyone can please help me.
1. Guest Additions won't install. "Isn't compatible with this version of Windows" I tried to install via CMD also, but VirtualBox does not see it installed (if it did)
2. Because of the first problem, the VM's max screen resolution is 1600x1200, while my Mac's Thunderbolt Display is 2560x1440
I've installed Windows 8.1 Preview before and it worked, so I think it's a problem with Windows.

Both of you must work with VirtualBox to resolve this peculiarity. VirtualBox is not a Microsoft product and is not supported by Microsoft.

Go to Solution.

My experience is that the reception of the GPS is very poor (say compared to a typical phone GPS or other tablets), and if you are in sub-optimal conditions it will pretty much never get a fix and never get past initialising. e.g. indoors it is essentially useless.
Outdoors with a clear view of the sky it will get a fix, but even then it is slow and temperamental.
I'd be surprised if you could use it as a live navigation device .e.g in a car.
