Qosmio G30 - external screen via HDMI connection - bad resolution

Hi! This problem is driving me crazy, please help if you can...
I have just bought a G30-102 and I'm trying to use it with an external screen via the HDMI connection. The problem I'm having is that the native resolution of 1920x1200 cuts off the edges of the desktop and the quality looks terrible - its almost like the whole screen is zoomed in. I tried this with a BenQ FP241wz at first (which is 1080i 1920x1200) and the Toshiba helpline couldn't find a solution either - even after painfully reinstalling all of the drivers etc.
Its been going on for so long, I thought that I would try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor issue. So I tried it with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and have just found that it has exactly the same problem.
All of the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the output is correct, so the question I have now is - do you think that its a problem with my HDMI port?
Please help, I'm a designer and it is essential that I use the machine on a large screen. If this is a problem with the G30 hardware I need to talk to Toshiba immediately about replacing or fixing it.

Hi - thanks for the reply!
My BIOS doesn't allow me to choose much for the display - just between PAL and NTSC really.`As for the document, thanks for the link - unfortunately though there wasn't anything in it that I haven't already tried.
What would be the most obvious thing that could be wrong? Faulty port? Faulty card? Or could it even be as simple as a faulty HDMI lead?

Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) running Vista Home Premium, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver, 7.15.10.9813
I cannot get a picture on an external monitor (tried two different monitors). Specifically:
'Windows Mobility Center' will recognise that a monitor is connected
'NVIDIA Control Panel - Change Display Configuration' will recognise the external monitor ('Select the displays you would like to use' shows 'Laptop Display + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the plugged-in ext monitor)
but no matter what configuration I try, using Fn+F5 or Change Display Configuration, I cannot get anything but a (backlit) black screen on the external monitor.
The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when turned off under a laptop-only Fn+F5 setting, it shows a 'no signal' warning, but when turned on again I just get black.
I have tried changing resolution settings for the external monitor. They exactly match the monitor's native resolution. Still nothing.
Tried 'Clone' mode and 'Dual View' mode.
Tried various different orders of switching the laptop and monitor on, plugging and unplugging, etc.
Have installed latest driver from this Toshiba site (as above). Have NOT tried installing any other driver from the NVIDIA site, since it warns to use Toshiba's - but is that worth a try?
The laptop's own screen and all other aspects of video are fine.
It has worked ok in the past (I think before I did the upgrade to Vista, when it was still on XP).
Do I just wait for another driver update from Toshiba, and perhaps Vista SP1?
I'm really hoping this is not a hardware issue, since the monitor is recognised etc....
Jonathan

What port did you use?
The external monitor (analog) port or the D-video out port?
As far as I know if you have used the external monitor (analog) port then you should choose the Analog display in the nVidia -> current display
Then you could use the button FN+F5 to switch between the both displays.

Satellite P750 - Unable to connect external screen via VGA port

Hello All,
My problem is following:
I have been trying to connect my P750 (running on W7 x-64) to an external screen using the VGA port/cable. Unfortunately the external devices does not recognize my laptop. Laptop does recognise the external screen, you can see it in the graphic settings as additional display, but the screen says "no signal".
The computer always identifies the screen correctly, so it looks like there is communication from the screen to the PC, but not the other way round.
This has been checked with 3 separate screens and a TV - always the same. All the screens work properly with different PC's.
I already did:
- try to play with FN+F5 / "windows"+P buttons - no change
- install the latest BIOS and Video drivers from Toshiba website - no change
Any suggestions how to make it work? Is it possible that the VGA port is faulty?
Thank you in advance.

Hello and thank you for the tips,
I did try the options you suggested unfortunately with no success.
I actually got myself HDMI cable and this connection is working perfectly well. Luckily the very screen I want to attach my laptop to does have HDMI port. It is just a bit annoying to know that the d-sub port seems to be useless.
The lady from Toshiba tech support call centre suggested either OS re-install or sending it to Toshiba for repair/check as it is still under warranty. None of this options suites me at the moment, so I will probably stick to the HDMI. Still, I have a feeling it is a software rather than hardware problem.

Very hard to use LR5 when connected to External TV via HDMI

Hi
I was teaching some post processing today using LR5 connected to a 50" Sony TV via HDMI cable and could barely use LR. It took a few attempts to use the brush or gradient tools.
Did anyone experience this?
Thanks

Why do I get error "The LDAP server is unavailable" while connecting to external domain via sync connection in SharePoint UPSA ?

Hello,
I am trying to connect to external domain via UPS Account having "Replicate Directory changes" permission on external domain while creating sync connection in UPSA.
I have checked below URLS :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1912bf88-8fec-4b5d-9d1e-a42db8318e33/ldap-server-is-unavailable-sharepoint-2010-user-synchronization?forum=sharepointadminprevious

And looks like its network connectivity issue - and hence I have verified that port 389 is open by infra team.
Note : I am able to connect to local AD , does it make sense that port is not open for external domain ?
Can anyone please let me know what can be the issue ?
Your help will be highly appreciated as I am struggling to fix this issue since quite long time but no luck yet.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,

Hi Dipti,
If you have Two-Way trust relationship then not sure if you have tried below:
Create a folder on the SharePoint server
Go to Folder properties - Security tab
Try adding user of the external domain on the folder
Please let us know if you are able to add the user or not. If you are able to add then it means that the connection and trust is proper and you should be able to create sync connection in UPA without any issues or else there is some issue with the connectivity
or the trust which is configured.
Please also make sure that you have given permissions to sync account as per below TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh296982(v=office.15).aspx
Replicate Directory changes permissions are also required on cn=configuration container, below are the steps:
Grant Replicate Directory Changes permission on the cn=configuration container
Use this procedure to grant Replicate Directory Changes permission on the cn=configuration container to an account.
To grant Replicate Directory Changes permission on the cn=configuration container
On the domain controller, click Start, click Run, type adsiedit.msc, and then click OK.
If the Configuration node is not already present, do the following:
In the navigation pane, click ADSI Edit.
On the Action menu, click Connect to.
In the Connection Point area of the Connection Settings dialog box, click Select
a well know Naming Context, select Configuration from the drop-down list, and then click OK.
Expand the Configuration node, right-click the CN=Configuration... node, and then click Properties.

Will Premiere Pro capture from an external feed via HDMI?

I need to capture a feed via HDMI? Can I capture external sources in Premiere Pro?

You will need to use 3rd party hardware and a software 'driver' to link P-Pro to the hardware device
I don't use that workflow, so can only suggest using Google to find the hardware

Why does the Retina Screen on MBPR2013 make a Weird Flash when I have a External Display via HDMI hooked up?

I just bought a new 2013 early MACBOOK PRO RETINA. When i have an external Display hooked up via the HDMI port, I noitce when I wake the computer UP it has a Different type OF QUICK FLASH that comes up than when there is nothing hooked up so I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its very disturbing to me, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the HDMI PORT ????? Has anyone else experienced this or knows if this is NORMAL behavior of the new RETINA displays or the HDMI port makes it FLASH weird upon WAKE UP??? I have unplugged the HDMI and when I do the SCREEN comes up normally it just blinks on. But when HDMI is used its light lightening stike. Don't know how else to explain it, maybe i need to do a video and Post a video.

One more disturbing thing. When the screen on my MBP goes black and I check the system preferences for "Displays", the MacBook Pro display is not presented as an existing display. Only the still-functioning Apple 20" Cinema Display.
Where did it go??

How to get new Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) to detect external monitor via HDMI?

Hi everyone, this is my first Mac and for the most part it's been really, really wonderful.
This is my first major glitch: I cannot get it to detect my external display: It is an ASUS PA248Q, manufactured Aug 2012.
The HDMI cable according to my Amazon history is at least 1.3c from 2010, "Fanatic Digital Imperial Series Gold-Plated HDMI Cable (6 feet)".
It works with perfectly connecting an AmazonTV box to an old Samsung TV, with vivid clarity, unlike our cableTV signal.
Just in case, I have a new HDMI cable on order, which claims to be of newest standards.
The Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) has the standard Intel Iris from the Haswell chips, as well as Nvidia GT 750M, the latter which I don't think has been used yet.
The ASUS display says: HDMI NO SIGNAL.
I have tried shutting them down and replugging the cable. I don't know what the ideal order is. The Macbook Pro is plugged into AC power, as suggested.
In System Preferences>Display, I press the Option key to select "Detect Displays" option (seriously unintuitive).
I have also tried resetting the NVRAM:
I shut the machine down. Pressed the power button, then quickly held the quadruplet: Option-Command-P-R (a double handful) and waited for the machine to chime a 2nd time. Tried to detect external display no luck.
Next, I reset the SMC:
I shut the machine down. Then I pressed Shift-Control-Option-Power for about 5 to 10s. Then I turned on the machine normally.
NVRAM & SMC steps were from an old youtube video, as the instructions I had did not explain how to do so clearly.
Please let me know if I"m doing something wrong.
Seems so exorbitant to pay $350 for Apple Care; that's a the cost for a whole new cheap laptop.
I will search the forums again. If anyone answers this, thank so much!

Hello there, willr314.
It sounds like you've covered most of the practical steps found in this Knowledge Base article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573#1
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
The article does offer some additional links and recommendations as well:
These articles may offer additional assistance and information about displays and video adapters:
Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed lid mode with an external display
Apple Cinema Display (30-inch DVI) has 1280 x 800 as the maximum available resolution
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
For assistance with Retina displays, please see Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display.
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

Mac mini (mid 2011) to Samsung led tv via hdmi connection problem.

Samsung led tv - UE32D5000
Mac mini (mid 2011)
On regular monitor (connected by hdmi to dvi cable) setup teamviewer
Try to:
1. Connect different hdmi cables - dose not work (on apple tv - both cables work)
2. Connect hdmi cable to different hdmi ports.
3. On tv change type of source - PC, PC-DVI and other.
By teamviewer I watched what was going on the computer - Mac mini does not recognize tv like monitor by pressing 'seek monitor'.

Aha! Similar problem here; Mini (Intel, Macmini2,1, the 2007 version with the larger HDI port not the smaller one)
Problem seems to happen only with both HDMI and USB connected (USB only to use the built-in webcam on the monitor, an AOC V22+ (which I love, it's a very nice monitor; LED instead of fluorescent backlight).
Sometimes it would suddenly switch to where the dock and menu bars and status bar were hidden (the desktop gets 'too big for the screen).
Then I'd go to the Display settings and unselect "overscan"
Then it'd be OK for a while, then switch to a big black space around the desktop window, lots of unused screen).
Then I'd go to the Display settings and reselect "overscan" and it'd be Ok.
For a while.
There really ought not be a need to fiddle with 'overscan' at all -- since I'm not using this as a television. Mac OS 10.3.6 seems to mistakenly think the monitor is being used as a TV -- maybe when there's a video in a browser window?
Not sure.
Anyhow it becomes a rock-paper-scissors problem where I have to keep chasing the settings to undo whatever it changes to at random, Lather rinse repeat.
Seems like it's only a problem for me when I have the USB cable also connected, to use the built-in webcam -- so I don't use that now.
The AOC folks have been working hard on solving this.
I just found this topic and have referred them here.
They'll be glad to know it's not their problem, I guess.
(does it happen on Apple brand displays too? I'm not sure)

5.1 via HDMI connection ?

i'm looking at getting an amp and i can't remember... does the appletv carry 5.1 audio over the HDMI? or does it only do it via optical?
the amp i am looking at (denon AVR1909) has 3 hdmi inputs, but only 2 optical inputs. 3 devices would be connected to the amp.
Sky HD box - doesn't carry 5.1 over hdmi so needs to use 1 of the opticals
Playstation 3
AppleTV
i would plan on connecting all 3 HDMI to the amp, and then the hdmi output to the TV. this is the theory, although in practise it may not work like that.

Hi,
I am hooking up my system right now and I have a couple of questions, if you please...
I am going to use layman's terms.
I have a new Denon amp, plus an apple tv, a cd player, plus a tivo.
Should I have hdmi from the tv direct to all of these sources? Or should I run hdmi to the amp and then only have the tivo and the amp running HDMI direct?
My brother was supposed to do this for me...but he bailed on me...so now I'm trying to muddle through this. I also have optical wires...
Thank you so much for your help!!
