Monitor Display Size - pixels

I downloaded a royalty free image which is 732(w) x 900(h) 72dpi. However, In the browser, or in some of the default 'image' programs I have in my computer, the image opens in about 1/2 that size. Because if i did the math at 72dpi, the picture should display at about 10 inches. It was my understanding that computer monitor resolution will determine the size and that monitor resolution is normally 72 to 96dpi. Yet my picture is being displayed in the browser (and other programs) at about 140dpi, generating an image about 1/2 the size i would expect (about 5 inches wide). The funny thing is when i open in Adobe Acrobat, the same 5inch display is marked as being 50% displayed, so that when I change that view to 100%, the picture is closer to the 10inches i would normally expect. Can anyone explain this apparent default shrinking display?????? thank you, S

Steve is right. Final Cut Pro will correct the display of rectangular PAL pixels with no trouble. Can you imagine if every time anyone wanted to edit video they had to manually resize it and wait for it to render? Nothing would ever get done.
If you start messing around with the pixel dimensions you're only going to cause trouble... in Final Cut Pro. You'll only have a pixel-aspect ratio problem if you want to display your videos on a computer outside of FCP. Is that part of your workflow?
Every PAL DV camera I've shot with has utilized all 720 pixels across. What camera are you shooting with?
And you shouldn't need to setup a PCI card in order to monitor DV from FCP. If you hook up your camcorder to the computer via firewire and hook up the camcorder to your monitor then you can turn on "external video" in FCP and you should have no trouble.

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

Source monitor displays a different size to Program monitor in CC2014

I have imported a clip and the source monitor displays a different size in the program monitor?
Thanks Chris

It looks like your sequence is set up for the wrong size. Select a video file and right click 'New Sequence from Clip' see if that helps. I see that your video material is HD did you set up the sequence to match the earlier stills? that might be bigger than HD? If that is the case make a sequence the size for the video and use 'scale to frame size' for the stills.

Dell Optiplex 780 standard size tower PC dual monitor display port graphic cards

Yes, only my boss informed me that they have to be display ports, he didn't tell me why.
I'm unable to buy from ebay or craiglist either & my local vendor doesn't have any in stock.

Quite a mouthful I know! but I need these specific graphic cards, ideally with next day delivery:

Photo Display Size

Can someone please tell me exactly where to set the true display size for photos/pictures on my Photoshop Elements 8 ??
Things so far are displayed much smaller than the actual size. I have used Adobe Photoshop for years and still SO much I do not know. Am fairly new to PSE. I am used to clicking "View" and then "Print Size" to see something in it's actual size, but this is not working. For instance, I now have a 12" wide photo up and it is displayed at 8 1/4 in. wide. Surely there is a setting somewhere which I need to correct?
Thanks :-)

Try clicking the print size button.
Also if you drag out the tabbed image window you can position it where you want and then click on the bottom right corner to drag the window to a larger size. I find this useful when viewing 1:1 whilst keeping the tools pallet visible on the left. Give it a try.
I think you maybe overlooking resolution which affects the pixel size but not the dimension size. For example you can have an 8 x 10 photo for printing at 200ppi, 240ppi or 300ppi. They will all print at 8 x 10 but at differing quality.
You can try this for yourself by clicking Image à Resize à Image Size
In the dialog that opens keep the resample image and constrain proportions boxes checked then experiment by typing differing resolutions into the document size box. See how the pixel dimensions change even though the document dimensions remain at 8 x 10.
Elements will always display the optimum number of pixels that it can depending on your monitor size, which means that only 25%, 50%, 75% etc. may fill the screen.

How to view the document in actual size (pixel perfect) in CC 10?

Hi there,
currently I'm working on a Mac with InDesign CC (10.0.0.07) and I use it for ui, so I need to view my document in the actual size (pixel perfect). In CS 6 I was able to double click on the zoom tool and my document showed up in like 74% or so and it was pixel perfect. This is what is really important when you use InDesign for screen layouts. And now with the new CC update I'm not able to do this anymore.
Has anyone a suggestion how to fix this, or has had the same experience? This is really essential for designing websites.
thanks,
Stefan

@Stefan – this behavior has changed from CC v9.2 to v10.0.
To get what you want you need a ExtendScript (JavaScript) once written by John Hawkinson. That code snippet will change preference settings not exposed to the user, the Custom Monitor Ppi, to 72 ppi and enable their usage.
app.generalPreferences.customMonitorPpi = 72;
app.generalPreferences.useCustomMonitorResolution = true;
Before running the script, it would be best to check, how the actual values are with the following snippet:
alert(
    "Custom Monitor PPI currently is set to: "
    +app.generalPreferences.customMonitorPpi
    +"\t\t"
    +"Usage is set to: "
    +app.generalPreferences.useCustomMonitorResolution
To change this behavior back to default, use the following line of code:
app.generalPreferences.useCustomMonitorResolution = false;

My next iMac-- which graphics card; which display size?

Hi all,
I'd like some advice in choosing my next iMac, specifically regarding the graphics card and the display size.
Graphics Card:
I'm not a gamer nor am I doing any 3D animation. Is there any other reason to upgrade the graphics card? I DO want the best possible video playback (QT movies), but I don't know if the graphics card has any bearing on video playback quality.
Display size:
Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, do any of the three displays sizes (17,20,24) have any history of being better or more reliable?
Thanks in advance for any tips

Your needs will better dictate which model is best.
Video playback of QuickTine movies will not be affected by upgrading to the 24" with the nVidia chip.
No 3D gaming or animation means no need for a higher end graphics card. In my case, the x1600 ATi in the original Core Duo 20" is more than sufficient for everything I've thrown at it so far including full resolution "Call of Duty".
For your use, you may not need the extra VRAM but I personally would bump it up to 256MB though. Adding an external monitor will split the total VRAM between the two monitors and with Apple continually moving a lot of Mac OS X's graphical features to the GPU, the extra memory may be a blessing.
Display Size:
I believe that reliability between the three models is pretty much the same.
The advantage to the 24" is, of course, the extra screen real estate and resolution. However The price difference between the 20" and 24" could allow you to go with the 20" model and add an external LCD for a dual screen setup (if space permits).
Weigh your needs - now and the immediate future - and then look at both models in person if possible.

Setting Display Size in X

Connecting a laptop to a new 42" Panasonic monitor (TC-L42E60), I found
the display to be blurry.
xrandr shows this line:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
Use the same hardware, on my co-worker's older 42" monitor, I see:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 930mm x 520mm
A physical size of 698mm x 392mm is closer to 32". I assume there is a
problem with the monitor's EDID (the monitor's firmware is up to date).
Does anyone know how to manually set the physical size? I fiddled
around with 'xrandr --fbmm' but to no avail.

Before making changes, I see these two lines in the output of xrandr:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
And this information from Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I then created this file:

I now see this in Xorg.log:

But in the output of xrandr, I see no change to the display size:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
I understand my laptop screen is LVDS1 but I was hoping to see have a
display size of 930mm x 520mm.
1) Does anyone know how to define HDMI2 in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf ?
2) Does anyone know how to override the DisplaySize?
Maybe if I get '1' to work, '2' will follow, but I figured I'd ask.

Monitor display problem.

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble figuring out how fit my desktop size to the size of my monitor.
Indeed, I have my MBP (Nvidia 9600GT) plugged to a 27" monitor (1080p resolution).
The problem is the "real desktop", the one I see on my original screen on my MBP, doesn't show up entirely.
Either the top menu bar is SLIGHTLY cut, or the bottom dock.
I output the display in 1920x1080, even though the samsung monitor stays in 1650x1050 for some reason.
A little help would be much appreciated!
Paul.

are you trying to mirror the display (show same things between two different monitors), or are you showing different contents on each, and having problems setting the resolution just on your MBP?
I think we need a bit more information on your setup. also what is your MBP display size?
If have the monitor set to be independent of eachother (expanded desktop) you set the MBP display resolution to its native resolution, while setting the samsung monitor to its native resolution, it should automatically set the desktop menubar on the primary display correctly... If you have it so that each display mirrors eachother (whatever is shown on one screens shows up exactly the same on the other), then it is possible depending on which monitor is set as primary monitor, that can mess with the resolution display on the secondary monitor.

Wrong ibook display size

to the forum:
I just purchased a second hand ibook. It came
with Tiger installed and no original system disks.
(The CPU is a 700 MHz PowerPCG3 and there is 640MB
of ram) Although I didn't do much with the machine
under Tiger, everything seemed to be working fine.
In particular, the whole ibook screen was used.
I got the original system disks from Apple and
proceeded with Software Restore. That erased Tiger
and replaced it with earlier system software.
I can boot into system 9 and system 10, BUT
the display (under both systems) is about the size
of the 1984 mac display (surrounded by a large black
border). Otherwise everything is working.
In system 9, the system profiler shows the
display card leading to display(2) which
has a screen size of 640 by 480. The monitor
panel in the control strip shows the
same thing along with "color LCD (1) 1024 by 768".
I don't know why two displays are shown.
In system 10, I can't find anything about the
display size, but it may be at the bottom
of a window I can't see (because of small screen).
Any help would be much appreciated.

You're Welcome Roger!
"... the 10.2.8 combo did help. In OS X 10.2.8, the display is now the right size."
Yippee!
"... booting into System 9 still leads to the small display. Perhaps I should start a new topic in the System 9 forum."
It's been so long since I used OS 9, I couldn't even begin to troubleshoot it!
You're correct, there are some very knowledgeable members in the OS 9 forum, but eww has a handle on it here too.
"...you are running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2 on one of your machines. Can you boot into 9 on that machine? And does Classic run also?"
Yes and yes. But I can't remember the last time I booted into OS 9, or started Classic.
I'm a total OS X junkie. After installing Panther 10.3.x, I never looked back!
I'll take the liberty of anticipating your next question though

VNC/Remote Management display size setting?

I'm not sure the best place to ask this question, it has several different components involved in it. I've looked all over but can't seem to find any info on this.
I've got a headless Mini running 10.5.1. When I use a VNC client or now "Share Screen" to it, it comes up with a screen size of 1680 x 1050. Back when it was running Tiger it was something smaller (but can't remember what it was right now).
Question is... how is this size set and is it changeable?
Thanks,
Rich

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific, how do you set it to other display sizes besides the ones that are listed in Sys Prefs? What if I want to make it bigger than 1860 x1050 (which is the biggest listed)? I'm connecting from a Mac that has a 30" display, so what if I want to make it closer to that display's size, which is 2560 x 1600? How was 1680 x 1050 even picked in the first place? I do not have a monitor attached at all, let alone that size.

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

External Monitor display issue

The external monitor for my mac book pro displays large/wide text when both screens are open. If I shut the laptop, the external monitor display returns to a normal view. I tried going to system preferences, displays and it's either on best for display or in scaled, the maximum 1920 x 1080.
Please advise.

Where is extended display mode? In display screen, the mirrored mode is checked, both displays are in 1920 x 1080, not sure what else I can do here? BTW: it just started happening (all was normal on both screens) until I used laptop at my work and connected it to external screen (school) with VGA adaptor (at home I use a DVI).
