Macbook, Mini DVI to Composite/S-Video and Vizio 32" LCD.  HELP: Resolution

So I bought this adapter to hook-up my LCD TV to the Macbook, and I cannot get the correct resolution for this TV.
"32" HD 1366 x 768 native LCD HDTV" is the Specs.
NOW, I did download SwitchResX, but was unsuccessful in registering the custom 1366 x 768 resolution, the LCD TV simply prompts: "No Signal"
Under 1280x768 the TV does work, but it looks blurry.
Please Help

The Mini DVI to Composite/S-Video is for use at standard TV resolutions, such as 640 x 480. Fo the full 1366 x 768 try using a DVI to HDMI cable with the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

or use VGA with the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter

  • Can't work with Macbook mini-dvi adapter to s-video out under Windows..??

    hi..
    My macbook can work well with mini-dvi adapter to tv out under mac os,but it can't work under windows os..
    If anyone's using their Macbook and has any comments please let me know..
    Thanks.
    Richard

    Yes, if you can get an s-video cable and plug that into the SCART adapter, that would be better than plugging in composite video.
    Clearly, having an SCART connection is not going to "improve" the video going in, you're going to be limited by the lowest quality connection. An s-video connection will provide a higher (but probably not a lot) quality signal than composite video.

  • Mini DVI-to-Composite (PAL): Video sync problems

    Hi all,
    I have a rather awkward-to-explain specific question and I'm wondering if anyone knows enough about video to explain it...
    I've recently been using my MacBook to play back video through the DVI port to my PAL TV (UK). I have the Mini DVI to video adapter.
    The problem I am having is with video frame rates. If I play a PAL video through the MacBook (25fps), it seems to play it back on the TV with no problems. However, if I try to play any video that has a rate of 24fps, it *starts off* okay for maybe 5-10 minutes, but then the picture becomes really juddery and difficult to watch. If I am using video mirroring I notice that on the LCD screen, the video has started updating frames midway through a screen refresh (you can see a "ripple" running through the picture).
    I do have a way round this problem at the moment... I burn them all to DVD using Toast. Unfortunately though this means about 12 hours of encoding for each DVD, not to mention that I'm getting through so many discs!!
    The result of converting the videos to DVD is that every second there is a slight pause, but this is still miles better than the output from the MacBook directly to the TV.
    Does any of the above make sense? Any ideas on how I can solve this little problem? Anyone? Thanks!
    :-Joe

    Yes it's PAL... I've tried all resolutions, both PAL and NTSC. Obviously all the colours are washed out on NTSC but both have the flicker problem
    Like I say it's fine when running a PAL video - but if I play one recorded in 24fps (ie HD content, DVD content) then I get the flicker problem after a few minutes. Maybe it's something to do with the processing power? Although I can watch the videos fine on the LCD screen.
    I've used Quicktime Player, VLC and Wide Screen Movie Player, all give me the same problem.
    Maybe I should use this as an excuse to get an HDTV

  • Macbook Mini-DVI to VGA...   To 1080p LCD tv

    I was interested in buying a new display for my macbook, using the miniDVI to vga.
    Then i saw that new TV's have VGA ports on them to act as moniters, and thought.
    42" TV... or 19" moniter... hmm
    Currently i have the miniDVI to video cord so i can use my TV as an additional moniter when playin games etc.
    But its not clear enough to play the games on that screen.. its good for some videos
    But text and games its not good at all.
    Is the Mini DVI to VGA a good port?
    Would i be able to hook it up to a TV or if not a bigger moniter and have it as clear as the display attached to the laptop?
    Macbook
    2.0GHz
    1GB ram
    Vid card is just the old standard one when the black/white macbooks were still new.
    Not the cool new ones with nice video cards

    I have a 40 lcd tv and have my macbook hookuped to it using the mini display port to vga and it looks really good, but i only use it for watching movies. Dedicated monitors are still better for reading text or playing games

  • MacBook Mini-DVI to HDMI not working on Vizio VO22LF 1080p

    I recently purchased a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter so I can hook my macbook to my Vizio 1080p LCD TV. The macbook detects the TV correctly but no matter what I do the TV never detects the macbook on the hdmi input.
    Doing some searches I saw discussion of a bug with 1080p that and a trick to get two 1920x1080 resolutions to show up in the display options but it never works for me.
    When I connect to my 42" Panasonic 720p everything works great.
    Any thoughts??

    This sounds a lot like the problem relating to an Apple disclaimer about the mini driving non-coherent displays which seems to especially affect the original G4 mini. See here under the "Video" sub-section:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP65
    The problem is the timing for 1680 x 1050 will often have a dot clock above 135 MHz. There are really only a couple things you can do; one is to use the VGA interface as you have been and the second is to use a program like SwitchRes X to lower the pixel clock and stay with the DVI interface. If you want to go the SwitchRes X route, download and install it (get the SwitchRes X Control Panel version and not the full version of SwitchRes X) and then write back to this thread and I can take you through the steps you need to perform. You can also get more info from this thread:

  • ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If no, can I get 37.5mhz on display to composite video out?a composite video

    ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If not can display be set to 37,5 hertz then my crt can accept composite video. Thanks.

    12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
    No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.
    But see:

  • Canvas Output to Broadcast via mini-DVI to Composite Video?

    Hello,
    I would like to send the output of my NTSC Canvas to my NTSC broadcast monitor via it's Composite input.
    I run FCP 6.0.3 on OS 10.5.3 and I was hoping I could make this connection via Apple's mini-DVI to Composite adapter. I seem to be all set on that monitor to NTSC, but all I end up displaying is the desktop's background.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You need a firewire based DV/Analog converter.
    Check into the Canopus lineup.

  • Mini DVI to VGA in Mac and Windows XP with Bootcamp

    I just bought 13in MacBook the first time so I am new with this system.
    I am trying hook up MacBook Mini-DVI output to Panasonic th-42pd25up (EDTV) with VGA input for PC. I hooked it up using Apple's Mini DVI to VGA adapter to TV. (TV also has HDMI input which TV manual says not to use it.
    TV's resolution are :
    640x480 for 4:3 aspect ratio
    852x480 for 16:9 aspect ratio
    I have two problems watching streaming video at 300 to 700mbp of soccer or cricket sport broadcasts.
    1. In Mac system, I only get blue screen of computer on TV with out any writing or pictures or tool bar.
    2. In Microsoft XP using BootCamp I get "no signal" on TV. Would I have success using Parallels software?
    I am missing some important games!!!
    Thanks for any guidance give me.

    This is normal in extended desktop. You can drag anything you want from the main screen to the external screen. I prefer it this way when I am watching MLB.TV. I keep the game on my external and use my internal work surfing and other stuff.
    You can use the F7 key to switch back and forth

    If your iMac has mini display port and/or thunderbolt no reason it shouldn't work.
    It works great for me, when I'm on the road, I can watch movies I have on my computer on the hotel CRT TV.

  • Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

    This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
    Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
    Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
    iMac (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
    I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.

  • Macbook mini-DVI - DVI - HDMI not working with My 32" Vizio

    Okay so my Macbook mini-DVI - DVI - HDMI is not working with My 32" Vizio. I've connected an 18 pin plus one slot DVI to HDMI cable to my 32" Vizio HDTV, this cable is connected to my macbook via a Mini-DVI to DVI cable, this one has 24 pins plus one slot on the DVI side. My Vizio display is blue, no signal, it reads. I'm wondering if the reason it's not picking up the display is the lack of pins on the DVI to HDMI or because I dont have any display options aside from screen size and color on my display menu. BTW I hit the detect display button and nothing happened.... I know I just wrote alot here but hopefully someone will read it and come to the rescue. thanks

    Oops, I guess all I had to do was restart my macbook. I feel like an idiot.....all is well.

  • Possible to use old macbook (mini dvi port) with 24 in LED display?

    Is there a combo of adaptors that will allow me to use my older macbook (mini-DVI port) with the new apple LED screens- i.e. adaptors allowing mini-DVI to mini displayport connector that comes with monitor?

    You need this component and a mini DVI to DVI adapter.
