No screen resolutions high than 1920x1080 on the external DisplayPort

I want to connect a MacBook Air 13" to my 27" Dell U2711 monitor (2560x1440px) via a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter but the maximum I can get is 1920x1080px.
HDMI actually supports up to 2560x1600.
How can I configure higher screen resolutions, please?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

In reality HDMI really only goes up to 1,920×1,200. Which is the same as single link DVI. You won't be able to get above that with any adapter that has HDMI involved. I'm assuming that the "displayport" connection you have on your macbook air is Mini Displayport. If so you could use a Mini Displayport to Displayport adapter cable: <http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-to-Displayport-Ada pter-Cable.html> and run the full resolution you are looking for. The newer macbook Air's are running micro DVI, with those you would need to use a DVI to Mini Displayport adapter <http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Atlona-AT-DP400-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mi ni-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Powered.html> plus the cable I mentioned above.
That should solve your problem.

U2913WM screen resolution issue cant set higher than 1920x1080

I have two Dell U2913WM monitors set up on my Alienware 17 laptop. The video card is a Geforce 880M. the highest resolution I that I can set my monitors is 1920x1080. is there a way to set the screen size larger to support the wide screen? I'm running windows 8.1.
Thanks,

I actually figured out how to setup dual U2913WM monitors on my Alienware 17. Took about 3-4 hours of troubleshooting and some lucky Google searches.
First of all for those out there trying to use a widescreen monitor with a laptop. Do not run your monitors through a docking bay. They simply do not support the higher resolutions. At best you will get only 1920 x 1080.
If you want to run at native resolution of 2560 x 1080 then you will need to connect the monitor to your mini DisplayPort. You will also need to set up the monitor in the nVida control panel.
If you want to run dual U2913WM monitors you will need to slave the 2nd monitor to the first. Using the DVI to mini display port. see the following links:
thinklightly.com/.../dell-u2913wm-setup-1
and
thinklightly.com/.../dell-u2913wm-setup-2
Again you will have to set up the monitors in the nVida control panel for them to work properly. Also dont forget to set up the input sources using the monitor config, as shown in the set up 2 link above to get the 2nd monitor to work.
You will have to also configure your sound output because for some reason it will default to the monitors and you wont get any audio output till you do.
Lastly Dell.... if you are reading this. It's a heck of a product and I love the monitors. But please this is something that should be made clear to customers on what they need to do to run these monitors in native resolutions. it's pretty ridiculous the setup I had to go through with zero documentation. It's pretty common to run multiple monitors and to try and run them through a docking station.
Plus side:
Also an added benefit to going through this is that my frame rate has increased when now using the mini DisplayPort rather than the Docking Station for running my monitors.
Minus side:
I have black bars along the sides and top of both U2913WM monitors, it wont go full screen. Apparently it's an issue when running your monitors through the displayport. I tried overriding this in the nVida control panel but nothing works and the Auto adjust on the monitor is not configurable when using in this mode.
If anyone has any solution for scaling the screen to use the full monitors in native resolution while connected through the mini displayport I love to hear it.

Iphone 6S screen resolution better than the Iphone 6?

Hi,
i know this is an too early question but how many of you iphone pro's think that apple will implement a screen with higher resolution than the iphone 6 with its 326 ppi
i know they never upgraded the screen on the S models but i have read that the iphone 6s will come with LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon)-display
and that can have a pixel density of 500 ppi
is this possible or very unlikely?
thank you in advance

It doesn't matter how long Apple users here have purchased their products, Apple is notorious for product secrecy and if anyone did know they would have signed a non-disclosure agreement.
If you are looking for rumors try sites like MacRumors, AppleInsider, TechCrunch, etc.

Rome Total War won't let me play at resolutions higher than 1024x768

Laptop is a GE70 2PE Apache Pro
Every other game lets me play up to 1920x1080 but for some strange reason RTW won't go higher than 1024x768. And yes I forced the the game to use the Nvidia GPU in the Nvidia Controll panel. And yes I'm in "High Performance Mode." And yes I'm on AC power. And yes it's the Steam version. I've tried everything I can think of, to no avail. Please help.:(:(

Please take a look, bro.

ITunes Screen Resolution bigger than Window

Hello,
Everytime I load iTunes the screen resolution is screwed up, almost as if iTunes is sized for a different screen size? I do sometimes connect my Macbook Pro to a television so I'm not sure if that is part of the problem. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Thank you so much, michaelc. I'm not that expert to manage those terminal lexicum, but you gave me the clue for solving this problem on my MacBook.
What I did, which results easier than anything else, was replacing the file "AppConfig.plist" on "Spanish.lproj" with a copy of the file with the same name on "English.lproj", and voilá!
That's such annoying that this bug hasn't been fixed, not yet on iTunes 11.0.2. iTunes feedback seems to go nowhere…
PS: Please, michaelc, answer the discussion I posted about the same topic, so I can mark your answer as the correct one.

Getting one swf to be higher than another in the zindex of a html page

Hey all could someone please show me how I can tell one .swf
to be higher in the pages object stack than an other, I presume
using javascript?
Any help would be great.

Add a table with two rows put the first one in the fist row
and the second
in the next row. or make a two div's that work and put them
in there.
I think that for you the tables would work better and end
your frustration.

Option of changing video resolution higher than 360p just disappeared on youtube, when I use chrome everything is fine. why?

There is just no more resolutions either than 360p on that list when I use Firefox.

This happens in safe mode:

Has anyone had any luck compressing videos with resolutions higher than 1080?

Everytime I try, it fails instantly. Is this not allowed in Compressor 4? It was possible in Compressor 3.

I have a 4K video that I'd like to compress using H.264 or X.264 and restrict the data rate.
Here are some details of the video (created in Motion) I am trying to compress:
DIMENSIONS: 4096 x 2048
FORMAT: H.264
FPS: 24
DATA SIZE: 53.2 MB
DATA RATE: 52.03 MB
and here are settings that I would like to compress it with using Compressor 4.0.4:
CODEC: H.264 or X.264 (both fail)
FRAME RATE: current
KEY FRAMES: Automatic
DATA RATE: Restricted to 7000 kbits/sec (setting it to automatic or any other data rate also fails)
QUALITY: Best
HEIGHT AND WIDTH: 100% of source
I have been able to get a successful compression with this 4K video file using ProRes 422, so that leads me to think this is a codec problem, not a Compressor application problem. Furthermore, I have had the same problem just using Quicktime 7 to export a video with these settings, I get the same failed results.
In Compressor it gives me the message Failed: Quicktime Error: -108
and in Quicktime 7 it gives me the message Failed: qKitErrorCatchAll (-6662)
So, if you had any suggestions about a better codec to use, one that allows me to restrict the data rate on higher than 1080 video files, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

TS1845 i am running windows xp and have tried at a resolution higher than 1024 x 768 but i tunes is still not displaying all options fully on my pc?

I am running windows xp and have tried chnaging the resolution to 1024 x 768 or highre and am still finding that not all the options on i tunes are displayed on my pc. I have also tried unistalling and reinstalling the software but to no avail. At present all the left hand tabs are missing and the info and summary tabs are missing which means i cannot sync etc

You'll probably have more luck getting help if you ask in the iTunes for Windows forum rather than here in the iTunes for Mac forum. If, however, you have iTunes 11, many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

How can I set up a screen screen sharing VNC at a resolution higher than display?

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13in, and i have set up screen sharing to access over VNC. I want to view my mac on my 1920x1080 display hooked up to my PC. But when i do it is not full screen, it is the same resolution as my MBP. how can i run it at a higher resolution only over VNC?

As Cvid suggests, I create my "frames" in Photoshop. Not sure about all versions, but my PS has several Actions, just for frames, and I have made a few more, with a different "look."
I Save_As PSD, and just Import those as Footage (I do not need the capability to work with the individual Layers).
Good luck,

Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any.
As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

Screen Resolution & Beep Sound

Mine is T400 bought in NUS, Vista OS. Very happy experience using this fatastic laptop, only a few minor questions
First question is How I can set my screen resolution high than 1280*800, which is right now the highest I can find on the display settings.
Second (a general question maybe): every time I plug in and out the AC cable, my T400 makes a loud beep, and also the case when hibernating or waking from hibernation, which is very annoying ....... It is best if the beep can be cancelled.
Thanks for helping me.

Hello and welcome to this forum
First, it´s not possible to get more resolution, when your native is1280*800 or you have to use an extern monitor.
Second, go to bios there are switches to turn beeps of, when powerstatus is changed.
Also look into the pogram engergie manager, there are also possibilities to switch beeps on and off.

Radeon Mobility HD 3650 won't go higher than 1440x900; Ext monitor native resolution 1920x1080

I've got a Viewsonic VG2436wm with a native resolution of 1920x1080 hooked up via a KVM switch to the VGA port on my T500.
The ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 in my Lenovo T500 will not give me any resolution higher than 1440x900.
I've updated Catalyst to the newest version available from AMD. The Catalyst software recognizes the monitor's highest resolution and refresh rate but lists them as "not supported." It won't let me switch the graphics mode to energy saver; it keeps telling me that I have to turn off 3D rendering and close all programs...except nothing's open.
All Windows 7 updates are installed. And yes, this exact same setup works with the Thinkpad Edge 420 my office issued me.
I'm ready to pull my hair out. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciate.
