MSI GX640 - Can it do 2560x1440 on an external monitor?

Hello all,
I'm considering to buy a 27" monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution (either the Hazro HZ27WC or the Dell Ultrasharp U2711, but I start spending money I need to know if the MSI GX640 can do this?
The graphics card seems to do only 1920x1200, however I know the HDMI and DVI signals are the same and the maximum DVI resolution is listed as 2560x1600. Is there any chance that the laptop is capable of doing 2560x1440 over HDMI?
I've also read that some owners of laptops with a NVIDIA card managed to push out 2560x1440 over VGA by 'hacking' the drivers and lowering the Hz as to increase the resolution (which shouldn't be a problem with TFT's).
Anyhow, anyone got this laptop hooked up to a monitor with a resolution higher than 1920x1200?

Windows 7/8.1 2560x1440 resolution on external monitor.

Hello, i have macbook pro 13 (late2013), i installed windows 8.1 and connected to my external monitor with 2560x1440 resolution.But windows allow to use maximum 2048x1152.I use minidisplayport to displayport adapter and have last drivers.Now i installed windows 7, but problem is still the same.Please help.

higher resolutions require more video memory if your macbook pro don't have enough and the windows driver can't use shared video memory then likely that could be the cause

2560x1440 on an external monitor

I am trying to connect BENQ BL2710PT 27-inch monitor with native resolution 2560x1440 to my 13-inch Macbook Air 2014 which should support this resolution. With HDMI I can get only 1080p, and with a mini-displayport to displayport cable I can't get any signal at all. Selecting the displayport input on the monitor does not help. Any recommendations? Has anyone managed to drive this monitor at its native resolution via displayport from a Macbook Air?

Can't see video playing through external monitor

Well it use to work, seeing the Timeline play through my external monitor.. Here's what I have, FCP 4.5 HD hooked up through Firewire to a JVC tape deck which in turn is hooked up through RCA cables to a small tv set. I have the following setup in FCP Audio/Video settings>Device control Preset: Firewire NTSC and Video Playback: Apple firewire NTSC. I've unplugged the Firewire cable a couple of times and still can't get the Timeline to play in my external monitor. Here's the funny part if I go to Log and Capture I can control the JVC deck and see my mini DV not only play in the Log and Capture window but also in the external monitor. I would think I won't be able to. I must be forgetting a setting in FCP to see my Timeline play in my monitor but for the life of me I can't remeber. Appreciate all sugestions!

Randy,
Many thanks. I really should not use keyboard commands that I'm not sure about.! I probably hit cmd F12 instead of just plain old F12 to do a superimpose. I'm going to start a list of all these settings I need to check. Someday I hope to be able to help someone figure out a problem. Again thanks for taking time to help me out and keeping a few more hairs on my head.

Satellite M50-156: How can I change resolution for my external monitor?

Hi,
I bought an exernal monitor for my laptop M50-156 which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
I tried to update the graphic card and chipset, but the max resolution I have is 1280x1024!
So my external monitor cannot display properly :( Did anybody have the same problem?
Please help.. Thanks.
Beb

> But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
The resolution is not available and this says everything!!! Its not possible to choose this and you will have to use another resolution!
There are two reasons why your favorite external resolution is not available:
1) the graphic card chip does not support this
2) or the graphic card driver does not contain this resolution.
In your user manual you can find all supported and available external resolution
But I assume the 1920x1080 is not supported

Can anybody help me ? preview (external monitor)

Hey Guys:
I need to preview in real time my HD 1080i work in an external monitor I am not sure with card should I purchase. I have a Viewsonic 1920x1080.
I know that the most used card are balckmagic and AJA Kona models but I have read some complaints about both.
Firstly I was after Intensity Pro (blackmagic) but it seems that it does not work well with HD output.
Then I searched info about DeckLink (Blackmagic). It seems it works ok but not more reference than oficial web.
Finally somebody told me that AJA Kona cards work really well but I don't know which model will be the proper for monitoring my work in realtime.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thanks
Andres

Hi Andrew07,
With my Mac Pro 8 core, AJA KONA LHe SDI card using Final Cut and a fibre channel disk array I can capture and play back 1080 HD footage, no problem. (I have also used Blackmagic cards as well)
With After Effects if I have my External Monitor set to 1080 and I try and RAM preview a 1080 composition I can only achieve a frame rate of about 15 fps. If my external monitor is set to normal SD and the composition at half res I can then preview in real time. But that is not Full res HD.
If I render the RAM preview to disk I can then play that in Final cut in realtime at full res
So you have to work around AE as it just can't pump out that much data quickly enough, but I do HD graphics everyday using AE and it does work just not quite as well as I would like ...
Hope this helps

Can I use Front Row on external monitor with MacBook Pro's cover closed?

I've seen that you can use the remote to control Front Row even when the lapatop's cover is closed (on a MacBook Air). Is it possible with a first generation MB Pro? Are there special settings?
Thx

You can use a MacBook Pro in "clamshell" mode if you have the AC adapter plugged in for power, an external display attached and an external keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) to wake the computer after it's been closed. This is the official word from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
However, even if you don't have a keyboard and mouse, you should still be able to wake the MacBook Pro using the Apple remote by pressing the "menu" button. (You do still need to have the power plugged in and the display plugged in.)

Qosmio F30-112: Can not use 1366x768 resolution on external monitor

How to connect F30-122 to LE-32R73B and where to set up the display (Fn+F5 gives me a lot of options, bios, Nvidia settings)?
I tried VGA cable, but picture is poor. I can't use full resolution of LCD TV (1366x768), just 1024*768.
Any suggestions?

i Have the same problem and have done ever since i purchased this dam laptop. The laptop is awesome the softwarfor hd.dvd is awful. only way i can get my laptop to run @ the res of my tv which is 1366x768 is to use the latest version drivers from nvidia. problem is as you may or may not know no updates to laptop drivers are made by the card manerfacturs so you have to realy on 3rd party drivers or updates from the people who make your laptop. well found a site few months ago called http://www.laptopvideo2go.com they make modded inf files for the latest graphics drivers so that they will run on go type cards. just get latest driver and download the modded inf then copy that modded inf into the driver folder write over the exsisting one then run the drivers this will unlock the full power of your gpu and all of it's functions. it will def have the res you are looking for.
but there's a couple of issue's which may just be issue's my end. intervideo will not run hd-dvd discs with anything but the useless toshiba graphics driver update which is useless anyway as you cant run the res you need and also even the new toshiba hd player seems to have issue with anything newer than the toshiba graphics drivers. the drivers toshiba use are anceint and are good for nothing so i have contacted toshibas software team asking them to sort this issue because im sure this is not only a couple of people with this problem.
hopefully there will be an update in coming few weeks as this 2 me is a major issue as i cant use my windows media center or my hd-dvd drive because the current player software wont run with new drivers which i have to have to run my other programs i run on my laptop.

Can I connect iPad1 to an external monitor (HDTV) to display whatever is on iPad screen on TV?

I want to demo new apps to my bosses in a group rather than one-on-one. I have a cable to connect my iPad to the TV's monitor cable and have checked all the TV inputs but nothing displays on TV. Is there an app that will display whatever is on my iPad screen or is there something in settings I need to change? I tried Projector with no success.

No, not with the original iPad. Only a few selected apps (where this feature was deliberately added) can do this on the iPad1, and no app can display other apps or "whatever is on" the iPad screen.

Used to, but now can't detect a NTSC/PAL external monitor.

This has come up in this forum as well as others in the past. Here is the syndrome:
1. iBook (or other) is hooked up to an external NTSC/PAL monitor (in my case a Sumsung LCD TV) via the mini-VGA/S-Video out.
2. Works perfectly for some period of time, days to years, as far as I've seen people post.
3. Suddenly, iBook does not recognize the external NTSC monitor, and outputs crap onto the monitor.
4. Detect display in the preferences only gives the native LCD (ibook) and a VGA external monitor.
5. This doesn't go away, and no one has found a way to make it go away.
Anyone figure out what the crap is going on with this? ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION???

Can't take screenshots when using external monitor

I used to take screenshots of areas of my screen all the time using Cmd-Shift-4 but, on my new Macbook Pro, if I have my external LCD screen connected, then any screenshot I take comes out as just a bunch of diagonal shading. It doesn't make a difference whether I take a whole or partial screenshot, and it's the same if I use the Grab utility or the shortcut keys.
If I disconnect the external monitor, screenshots work fine.
This is really frustrating, because I use the Cmd-Shift-4 all the time to collaborate with colleagues on designs.
Any idea if it's possible to fix this?
David

OK, this problem has vanished. The only thing I think it might be is that, when I check the colour profiles for each display, they're set to a combination I didn't try when I was trying to fix this issue ("Color LCD" for the laptop and "HW191D" for the external screen).
Anyway, it's working fine now, so I'm happy!

Can older dual core iMac be external monitor to new (lion) imac

If yes, how do they need to be connected and configured?

Thanks, classic II for the reply. You are right--I should consider configuring my old Mac to be a wireless device if/when I get a new iMac, however I still would need my flash drive to have embroidery designs on it in order to get the designs into xp under bootcamp.
It was painful for me to get my dual core iMac upgraded to 1 meg for snow leopard. I could drive 50 miles to an authorized apple person, leave my iMac and he would order and install the 2 gig memory and in addition charge me $300 to fix the cd drive that was barely off warranty or do what I did. Local apple store would install a half Meg of memory but couldn't do the ordering. So I ordered 500 meg memory from on line apple store, had it shipped to my house, and then had apple store install it--to get me to 1 Gig, so I could install snow leopard--I think the apple store installed it for no charge since I ordered the memory from on line apple store, and didn't have to drive 50 miles, one way--twice.
What I have is working for me, so I guess I'll just watch what happens with lion and icloudI and apple tv (and bernina v6 software which only runs under windows7 on macs) and move on to new iMac when things are settled.

CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor. For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem solved. My fault.
The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Frustrated! Can't I use an external monitor?

I plugged in the adapter to my 17" LCD. My screen background appears on my LCD but that's it. No icons, no nothing, just the pic of my son. I changed my background settings on my Powerbook and nothing happened on the LCD. It just stays the same. The entire LCD is just a picture with no mouse, no icons - nothing. What am I doing wrong? Also, I thought on the Powerbooks, you can close the lid but the external monitor stays alive. On mine, it goes off when the lid is closed. Please help. Thanks

P.,
In yr System Preferences, there is a 'detect displays' function in Displays. You shd find what you need there by clicking on it & then 'arrangement.' In order to have windows or items on the 2nd display (external) you need to drag them there.
Here's the closed-lid tip: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
Hope this is helpful.
