Multiple Display Resolution - Samsung S24B300

Prior to upgrading to Yosemite the resolution on my Samsung s24b300 changed.  Now I cannot get back to 1920x1080 resolution.  It's no longer an option when I go into system preferences --->>> displays.
Current set up:
MBPro 13" (Late 2011) using as closed lid with 2 displays.
1st monitor is Samsung t24c550 - connected via usb and hdmi cable
2nd monitor is Samsung s24b300 - connected direct to mbpro via adaptor and rgb cable.
1st Monitor is at proper resolution, but 2nd monitor does not have the choice in the display menu.  Up until last week, both monitors were capable of 1920x1080 resolution and multi display settings were flawless.
Anyone have a fix or know what could have happened.
btw...I reset my PRAM which didn't resolve the issue.  Upgrading to Yosemite didn't have an impact either.

  • Leopard "Forgets" External Display Resolution

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro C2D (Oct 2006 revision) that I use at work with an external display (Dell E197FP) that is connected to the laptop via the DVI-to-VGA adaptor. The Dell has a native display resolution of 1280*1024 @60Hz and this is set via the System Preference's Display panel. The problem is that quite often when I connect the display in the morning OS X (10.5.6, at present) "forgets" the resolution that has been set and reverts back to its default for the display, which is 1152*864 @75Hz. It is baffling to me that it keeps forgetting the selected resolution for the display, despite recognising it, and that it selects such an odd resolution as a default. This happens about once per week at the moment.
    Does anyone have an idea what is causing this and how I can stop OS X from being so forgetful?

    Are you getting one to extend your desktop? I don't, I use my MacBook with the screen off using my external only with a keyboard and mouse plugged in. I run my Late 2008 2.1GHz MacBook with a GMA X3100 using a 23" Samsung wide ratio no problem in 1680x1050. It is high resolution. Make sure you click "mirror" in Display Prefs. Be certain that you don't simply boot to both because the external will appear grainy and only be putting out the native 1280 X 800 13" MacBook resolution on the new big LCD. There are many different ways to achieve this. With the LCD on and hooked to the MacBook, turn the MacBook on then quickly close lid after the chime. Give it some time. After it boots to the external, I open the lid to provide proper airflow, some may argue it's not needed.

  • How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

    How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp.  Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

  • MBA - Video display & resolution concerns

    Hello!
    My parents currently own an aging, first-generation white MacBook. I want to help them migrate to a newer laptop, possibly a MacBook Air aka MBA), within the next several months.
    I used to own a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2007 vintage, IIRC) but it died on me in March. I was forced to buy a refurbished late-2012 iMac because money was too tight to procure a new laptop. I may also be looking at an MBA within a year, possibly an 11-incher.
    I have a few questions about the video display resolution of late-model MBAs:
    According to Apple's "tech specs" page for the MBA, the 11-inch is capable of multiple video resolutions:
    1366 by 768 (native), 1344 by 756, and 1280 by 720 pixels at 16:9 aspect ratio; 1152 by 720 and 1024 by 640 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768 and 800 by 600 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio
    I am a little concerned that a laptop display of that size would be a bit hard to read at the standard resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. Has anyone dialed the MBA's resolution back to lesser levels, like 1,280 x 720? Does anyone leave it at these lower resolutions? Also: how hard is it to use word processors or iPhoto on an MBA, particularly the 11-incher?

    My parents...possibly an 11-incher.
    Not to say your folks are old at all,... however Im likely much younger than them and having owned an 11" and now a 13",.... I cant go back to the 11" (though I loved it fine and sill can use it just fine)
    Very likely their eyeballs would be more happy with a 13"  
    base model price on a 13" vs. an 11" isnt that much

  • Logic, UI, and display resolution

    One of the reasons I was eyeing the iMac was because it came with such a great display built into the price. I find the 15.4'' screen on my Macbook Pro to be rather limiting, and since OSX is resolution dependent, I cant really get around it.
    I ended up deciding to skip the iMac for an 8 core Mac Pro which will last longer (even though the iMac currently outperforms it in logic lololol).
    Turns out that it is pretty much impossible to find a screen with resolution above 1920x1080 unless it costs around $1000, which I cant afford to spend on a display.
    I'm wondering if any of you have come up with solutions. Is there a way to adjust the UI in Logic so that having a bigger screen (regardless of resolution) would still be helpful, or is it that I may as well go with 21.5'' displays?

  • Satellite L500: unable to change to Multiple Display to play via TV

    Having followed instructions to connect laptop to TV via HDMI there is no signal. Followed instructions in User Manual but
    User Manual says go to Adjust Resolution/Advanced/GenericPnPMonitor/Graphics Properties/Display Properties then click 'Multiple Display' but there is only one drop down option 'Single Display' and 1 primary device the notebook.
    When I toggle FN F5 to change display it only shows LCD display.
    Is this something simple I'm missing or does this suggest a fault with the Toshiba Display Driver?
    Thanks

    Hi
    For I using the HDMI connection I can recommend this:
    Firstly connect the cable to your notebook and TV or external monitor. Then power on the TV and choose the right input channel. Finally power on the notebook and normally the HDMI connection will be recognized automatically.
    If it doesnt work I would recommend updating the display driver and BIOS. Both can be founded on the Toshiba website.

  • Multiple display won't work

    I have connected two different monitors to my late 2009 IMAC.  The multiple display works fine but when I shutdown the computer the secondary monitor won't wake up unless I unlug the video cord and plug it in again.  Any solutions?

    Hi Michael, thanks for your reply.
    Regarding the GPU failure, I had my doubts about this simply because the external display at any resolution and 'screen share' are fine and that would seem to imply the GPU itself is fine.
    I don't have an answer and I suspect it's going to require a new logic board, but from what I know that is an expensive fix and that would be unaffordable meaning the MBP will effectively become a MacMini which I'd really like to avoid.
    Is there anything else I can try?

  • Keynote across multiple displays

    Anyone know of a way to display a Keynote file 3072 x 486 across multiple display cards? Looking to have an image that size feed widescreen presentation across three individual projection screens.
    Does Keynote 3 support multiple display cards?
    thanks in advance.
    Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Keynote 3.0.1
    Mac / PC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    In case you can't get that to work...
    I also do widescreen Keynotes (3240x1080) but we use a Barco system that currently takes a single signal from my mac and distributes it to two projectors. Since the show mac's resolution is only a 1600x1200 space, it's not feeding the full 3240x1080 to the Barco. I am looking into a product from Matrox called the DualHead2Go Digital edition (there is a TripleHead2Go as well) which simulates a 3840x1200 monitor and outputs two 1920x1200 signals (or a few other lower resolutions if needed). Maybe that would work better for your situation than the multiple display cards because the mac thinks it is one large secondary display and acts normally. At least that's what I'm here to find out as well.

  • T530 multiple display configuration lead to errors when closing the laptop

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo T530 2429CTT and I am having some trouble when trying to set up my multiple display configuration with a Lenovo ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3.
    I have an external Samsung LCD monitor which is connected to the Mini Dock via DisplayPort.
    I am running Win 7 Prof.
    The problem I see is with an application which uses DirectX. The display looks fine in the following configuration:
    - Laptop open
    - External Samsung LCD Monitor on
    - Display cloned so that both devices show my desktop
    The issues appear when I close the laptop. I do this because in my office I only work with the external monitor so I don't need the internal display of the laptop at that moment.
    When I close the laptop the following happens:
    The external display gets dark for some seconds. It comes up again, gets dark and after a while (maybe 10 sec) it stays active. Sometimes I see a notification that the color scheme has changed to Win 7 basic.
    Everything seems to be fine now but when looking at the DirectX based display of my application I have some problems for example with the refresh (the display looks very weird).
    BTW: The laptop has an internal and an external graphic card (Internal: Intel HD 4000, External: NVIDIA NVS 5400M).
    So it seems as when the laptop gets closed, the internal graphics will be turned off. Due to this the display on the external monitor also changes the settings of the graphhic card (maybe it gets turned in an energy saver state).
    I was looking at many of the NVIDIA settings without any success so hopefully somebody in this forum has an idea what is happening there.
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Hi,
    I'm trying to buy the exact same configuration. 
    although i cannot find this 2429CTT on lenovo site anywhere, is available for selling on a known european supplier.
    and my propose is to have 2 Monitors connected, so I'll follow this inquire very closely and hold my order until then.
    do you have any update on it?
    just by curiosity, what about the rest? how does the PC feels to you? everything else is working?
    thanks

  • Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

    Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
    Requirement:
    Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
    Preferred solution:
    The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
    u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
    u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
    u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
    u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
    Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
    As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
    My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
    Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
    Thanks everyone for your input...

    HI CLause,
    On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
    FYI: Found a solution...
    The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
    With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
    The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
    Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
    As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
    If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
    Claus
    See this thread:
    Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
    I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
    I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
    many thanks

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.

  • Thinkpad Yoga - Insufficient external display resolution over the Onelink

    My local Lenovo Partner just confirmed the data in "User Guide" of the TPYoga, that the external screen resolution will only be 1920x1200.  
    "User Guide"  Page 10, http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/tpyoga_ug_en.pdf
    "Display resolution:
    – LCD: 1366-by-768 or 1920-by-1080, depending on the model
    – External monitor: up to 1920-by-1200, depending on the monitor model"
    I mean what do I want the OneLink Dock / OneLink PRO Dock for??
    Of cause to connect a large screen and this not with a worse ppi than the intern display. So I need at least 2560x1600
     (we don’t even talk about all the disadvantages of a 16:9 screen, cause that’s off topic).
    Idealy I expect of cause a 4k resolution possibility together with the OneLink Pro Dock and multi stream (daisy chain) possibility at the display port.
    But 1920x1200 external graphic output can’t be meant serious for a 2000US$ device?? 

    Ok, let’s accept that the new Thinkpad YOGA Manual includes misinformation.
    Actually I’m sitting in front of my 2048x1152 Display which is connected to my 8 years old Asus Notebook via DVI. Does this old jalopy perform a higher resolution via DVI than the Thinkpad Yoga via “OneLink PRO Dock-DVI” does? 
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/tp_onelink_pro_dock_ug_en.pdf
    Page 13
    (I’m guessing in the first line (behind "One monitor") it’s supposed to mean DVI instead of DP”
    (1) Lenovo, are these technical details of the NEW OneLink Pro Dock also wrong like the Manual of the Yoga regarding the maximum resolution?
    Would be very helpful for me to plan with correct information..
    (2) And is it definitely true that I can't connect two displays at the OneLink PRO Dock with a higher resolution than 1920x1200??
    That would mean I send the Thinkpad Yoga back and better stay with my 8 years old ASUS jalopy.. smileyfrustrated:

  • External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

    Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
    So did the refresh rate option...
    What do I do?
    I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
    REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

    After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying
