Qosmio G40-108: starange display issue with highest resolution

I just got mine but on its highest resolution all webpages have these 11 semi-rectangular blocks, barely visible, only the bottoms, each about an inch long, is this normal and should i send it back to be investigated?

Hello
It is very nice to hear that you already have newest Qosmio notebook. About your issue I can not say much because without one screenshot it is not easy to understand what you mean exactly. On my Qosmio G30 (with the same HD resolution) I have no problems at all. Because of that I can really not understand what is wrong there.
If possible post a link where we can see how it looks like. Your description is not enough.
BTW: have you noticed this on web pages only?

  • Qosmio G40-108 - dvd/video playback quality

    Just bought the Qosmio G40-108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. Ead all the reports and went for the stunning display report. I am sorely disappointed with the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX Xvid h264). The colors are wishy washy and not all that sharp.
    Compared to my 3 year old Toshiba mid range machine running WXP it is pretty poor. I have not messed about with anything.
    Am I missing something or is this the fault of Vista. I tried loading WXP but couldn't as it came up with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help?!! Please.

    I presume you are speaking about this other thread;

    Well, according to the second thread which you have posted the same video quality appears on another computer. So I dont think that your notebooks would malfunction.
    Regarding your XP installation;
    The XP installation cannot be finished because you need to install firstly the Intel Matrix Storage Manger which can be downloaded from the Intel page or from the Toshiba page.

  • Qosmio G40-108 fails to start

    Hi Gang
    I am hoping there are some fine peeps out there who can save a double-glazed window from being mullared by this lappy.
    I have had it (Qosmio G40-108 with 4Gb RAM) since Aug 2007. All has been fine till about two weeks ago, where it kept crashing when running a couple normal progs that I use.
    Having read several posts from peeps with similar problems, I think it could be the PCI express graphics card. Is this right? Can I swap it out? Or any tips, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are really welcome. :)
    *Remember: There is always someone worse off than you...........*

    Such behaviour is typical for overheating. When notebooks hardware reaches critical temperature, notebook will simply switch off to avoid hardware damage.
    Your notebook is petty old so I can imagine there is a lot of dust inside and dust can block cooling vents and cooling grill so notebook cannot be cooled down properly.
    Have you ever cleaned your notebook up?

  • Qosmio G40-108 Recovery DVD needed

    Hi. I have a Qosmio G40-108. Unfortunately my recovery DVD was damaged and i am now in need of it to restore my machine. I ordered one from Toshiba 5 weeks ago and they still can't tell me when i am going to receive one.
    If there is anybody who could kindly do me a copy of this i will be grateful. I will gladly pay for it.
    Regards
    martin

    Hi
    This forum is not an exchange market!
    I presume at the moment the G40 recovery CD is not available and the authorized service provider has ordered the Recovery CD from the Toshiba head warehouse.
    This takes a little bit longer.
    But if you want you can install the OS from the original Microsoft Windows CD and all necessary Toshiba drivers you will find on the Toshiba European driver page!!!

  • Does anyone else have display issues with Intel X3100 graphics and OS X Lion?

    I took the screenshot below to demonstrate one issue I have had with graphics since upgrading to OS X Lion. I use a Late 2007 MacBook with 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and the Intel X3100 graphics chipset. I have 4GB RAM. Had to reboot to get this to correct itself. The problem is the menubar (obvious) and the desktop image is missing, replaced by the grey.
    I have an external monitor connected (second image) and everything displays properly there.
    Some other issues I've noticed are using Mission Control sometimes yields unpredictable results, graphically speaking, and the fullscreen apps don't always allow me to see the menubar. These all seem graphically related. Is this a hardware or software problem? Any solutions?

    Here is another display issue with my machine...perhaps software rather than hardware? The icon for the rtf file "Matt Passages" is missing entirely. There is a faint rectangle present instead. The same file has an icon in the first image posted above. No change to the file since then. And two other RTFs have the icon! Odd things with Lion.

  • Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

    I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
    I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
    The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
    I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
    The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
    Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
    To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
    I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
    It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
    I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
    I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
    Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
    What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
    Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
    Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

    Hello EPWilson4984.
    I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM,  1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
    Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
    The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
    Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini  -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
    I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
    Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

  • LR display issue with Windows 8.1

    I installed LR 5 on Windows 8.1.  The install went fine.  When it launched, it prompted me for my product key and I entered it.  After it was complete, I exited out of LR.  When I went back to launch LR, it launches but will not display. I can hover over it on the taskbar and see the application running but it will not display.  I have restarted both Windows and LR and it does not resolve this.  I did not have this issue with LR 3 on Windows 8.1.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi,
    For this problem, in my opinion, it would be better to contact LifeCam Cinema support for further assistance:

  • RDP Users seeing display issues with SharePoint Online Template

    I originally posted this in the SharePoint Online forums, but they referred me to the RDP forums as it appears to be an issue with RDP, not SharePoint Online: Original
    Post
    I've been able to verify this only happens in RDP when opening a Word Template with embedded Excel table  from SharePoint Online within the local Word 2010 application.

    Amy,
    Thank you for the input.  Its rather odd, but it appears the users who are seeing this problem are connecting via RDP on laptops with widescreens, with screen resolution set much higher than the 1290x1084 we use on the terminal servers.  Turning
    the resolution down on the laptops did keep the table from becoming oversized and most of it running off edge of document.
    However, it appears even turning down the resolution of the client machine still affects how the font is displayed in the document. The font size and type are different than the template document, they get saved that way and appear that way to other users
    who do have their screen resolution set correctly.   It seems there is something else going on here, thoughts?

  • Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

    I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
    the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
    experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
    2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
    If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
    list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
    using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's

    Hi Gavin,
    If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
    if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
    UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
    then
    -- insert your HTML code in the value
    -- of your field. something like...
    newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
    srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
    else
    -- when generating to other format,
    -- you'd have to add the formatting as
    -- you want.
    end if
    return( true );
    Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
    Good luck... :-)

  • Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

    Hi,
    I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.

    Thanks vNohria.
    I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue  and couldn't find any.
    P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

  • Display Issues with Mac Pro 1.1 HELP!!

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1:

    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2

    Boot ROM Version: MP11.005D.B00

    Running OSX 10.6.3
    I'm on my second graphics card [ATI Radeon HD 2600] after having issues with the original [NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT]. The issue with the NVIDIA card was that, at times, it would display digital artifacts, glitches, distortion and freeze up the system forcing me to have to do a hard shut down. I found many reports of similar issues with that card and the Mac Pro 1,1's.
    When I replaced it with the ATI the problem went away for 6 months and now IT"S BACK.
    So, are there any particular graphics cards that work OK with the Mac Pro 1,1? I don't want to waste my money again only to encounter the same issue!
    I'm also contemplating getting a new Mac all together.
    Please advise, I've read many threads with this issue and they all seem to point to the same deal: replace the card. I can't afford to keep replacing graphics cards.
    Saki

    The 2600XT required 10.5.2+ and while it may 'look' like a G5 the Mac Pro is not. G5 refers to IBM PowerPC based, not Intel Xeon EFI based.
    You're running 10.6.3, might want to update your profile itself.

  • Text display issues with htmlText, Embedded Font

    Hey All,
    I'm having an issue with the display of my hyperlinks in a
    textfield that is using embedded fonts. It offsets the hyperlinks
    to the left along the line they are on and the underline doesn't
    stretch all the way under the text field. The text display normally
    when I don't embed the font. For some reason I think this might
    have to do with the embedded character range so I opened it up.
    Does anyone know if this range is enough or if there are special
    characters flash uses that need to be embedded for their width even
    though they arn't displayed.
    Embedded range:
    [Embed(source='MyriadPro-Regular.otf', fontName='Myriad Pro',
    unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00fe')]

  • Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
    When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
    Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

    Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
    Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

  • Screen/Display Issues with Aperture 3.6 & iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite

    When I open Aperture or iPhoto, my screen goes all wonky. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with 8 GB Ram with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB. What is it doing this? How can I fix it?

    Hello there, tehat17.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with the display on your MacBook Pro:
