MBP to HDMI looks fuzzy

Why does the font on my 32-inch Samsung 1080p LCD TV look fuzzy when it is connected to my MBP via HDMI to Mini Display Port? It is only when it is connected to the MBP. When it is connected to my PS3 it is crystal clear. How can I fix this if at all possible?

or you can look it up by serial number:

  • MBP and HDMI - Samsung 40"

    I have a mid-2009 MBP. When looking at the technical specifications at the Apple site, I do not see where my computer will do HDMI output. However, the folks at BB told me that if I have the mini-display port, then I should be able to use the Mini-Display to HDMI adapter. Does anyone have any experience with this before I go and buy the wrong adapter?
    The ultimate goal is to connect my MBP to my new Samsung 40" LCD TV.
    Thanks for any advice in advance.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    What the people at BB told you should work for getting a picture on the TV screen, but sound won't come through the interface. You will need to bring sound into the TV separately using the MBP's headphone output and RCA audio input jacks on the TV.

  • On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

    Thank you Sanjit,
    I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
    This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

  • The images in Photoshop or InDesign improperly anti-aliased, looking fuzzy

    I've bought Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro with Mac OS Mavericks, and am having trouble with anti-aliasing.
    In short, the images/documents open in Photoshop or InDesign are improperly anti-aliased and look fuzzy.
    I can understand why the menu bars and stuff should appear fuzzy and blurry as a result of auto anti-aliasing; otherwise they might appear too small for eyes to see since the resolution is super high.
    But why should the machine want to blow up the images or documents inside the application and apply anti-aliasing to make them look so fuzzy?
    It would be grateful if there's a way to stop my computer doing the anti-aliasing all the stuff on screen.

    No, not that I know of - you do need to make certain that you're using the very latest versions of both apps, though.

    When you watch on your Mac, it is at or near HD 1920x1080 pixels (about 2 megapixels), depending on the resolution of your screen. Most photos today are 5 megapixels or greater, depending on your camera, but anything over 2 megapixels must be reduced when put in a video.
    When you create a DVD, you must further reduce it to 640x480, standard definition. This is about 0.3 megapixels. iDVD will do this for you.
    You can fix by creating an HD movie in iMovie. You can Share this using Share/Export Using QuickTime to an MP4 container using the h.264 codec. You can then put this movie on your PS3 using a USB thumb drive.
    That should give you good resolution.
    (NEVER MIND, YOU SAID PS2 not PS3, my apologies)

  • InDesign CS6 looks fuzzy with retina display

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display and installed my CS6 software. Photoshop and Illustrator look fine, but InDesign looks pixelated. The menus and fonts look fuzzy. I can't work like this. I read there is a possibility to uncheck the "open in low resolution" box but haven't been able to actually uncheck it. Can someone help with this?

    Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to CC to get retina InDesign & Acrobat.

  • Imported images look fuzzy

    Hi, I am trying to import images from Photoshop 7.0 into iMovie HD but they look fuzzy. I have tried saving the Photoshop files as Gifs, Tiffs, Jpegs and PNG files but when they are imported into IMovie the end result is the same. If anyone has any sage advise to share it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ian,
    welcome to this forum
    do you judge the pic quality in the iM window? in iM's prefs, there's a setting "better playback" "better quality"… for s smoother playback, normally the pic quality is reduced - but NOT in the final project!
    second, you can play-out live via firewire to camcorder to connected TV… because, the final quality can only be judged on a TV… a computer has a very different technique to show pictures…
    saying that: the pic quality on TV will NEVER be as in Photoshop/Mac's monitor… a TV has a much smaller resolution, interlacing, etc.

  • Why does Lightroom 4 look fuzzy on my Mackbook Pro Retina?

    Can someone tell me why images in Lightroom 4 look fuzzy & not sharp at all on my macbook pro retina? Photoshop images look great and so do pictures in preview on my computer. But Lightroom 4 images are so hard to tell if they are focused or sharp or not.

    Which version of Lightroom 4 are you using? I'm at 4.2 now, but there should be a version 4.3 coming out soon that adds Retina display functionality.

  • Slides look fuzzy

    I'm inserting slides into my sequence but as soon as I insert them they look fuzzy, almost unreadable (which kind of defeats the purpose of putting them in the video to begin with). Is there anything I can do so that they look as clear as they did before I inserted them?

    It really helps the process if you answer the questions. It's hard enough doing this via typed communication and drops to impossible if there is no meaningful interchange of information.
    Again ...
    What is the size in pixels (width x height) of the images? e.g. 800x600, 1024x768 or ?
    What format are the images? jpg, tiff, bmp or ?
    What is the sequence format? DV, HDV or ?
    And yes, you have to tell the program to render. And, as Canvas only shows a proxy image, you'll want an external TV to view what is really happening to them (the manual has a section on connecting one).
    cheers,

  • Everything looks fuzzy when you are trying to do work in photo shop or any of the suites

    Everything looks fuzzy when I am trying to work in photo shop or any of the suites compared to the top bar.

    It's the Retina Display. the programs you are using need to updated to work with that display. Until that happens you will have to live with it.

  • When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

  • Pictures look fuzzy when playing in timeline and even after export.

    This is a major headache for me.
    I have brought high resolution photos into FCP 7 and they look great when scaled down when I pause or scrub the video in my timeline. When I play my video in the timeline or after an export, it looks fuzzy or pixelated.
    I was given the suggestion to mess with interlacing, change the photos to 72dpi before importing to FCP, and other suggestions. Changing the dpi didn't seem to make any difference. Is this a render issue? I've been checking the render setting but haven't had any luck.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm not great at determining what my settings should be at for FCP on my MacBook Pro. I have been messing with the settings so much in the past few days trying to fix my fuzzy/pixelated photos problem, and I now am having a difficult time trying to remember what everything was originally set at.
    Help!

    I am using QT 7.6.4 as I'm still hanging back on Leopard - not Snow Leopard.
    If you look in your "Utilities" folder you might a copy of QT (non-X) in that folder. If not there already, it's an "additional install" on the OS DVD I think.
    from here: (Oddly, the corresponding Apple Support page was down. This is Apple's info really...somone else has copied/pasted)
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    2. Open the "Optional Installs folder" and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
    3. Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
    4. QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
    If you have QuickTime 7 installed, Snow Leopard handles the division of labor for you, using QuickTime X when it can and QuickTime 7 when it needs to.
    If you don't already have QuickTime 7 installed, then the first time you try to do something that requires it -- such as play a video that needs a non-standard codec, for example -- Snow Leopard will ask if you want to install it.

  • The contacts on my iPhone 4S are looking fuzzy, does anybody have this problem?

    When my contacts on my Iphone 4S are synced through facebook they look fuzzy and other look normal. If anybody has this problem please tell me how to solve it.

    I would suggest restoring the iPhone from backup, if that fails then restore as new as the issue may be something that has become corrupted in the backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
