Qosmio X870-F0086 - Highest supported resolution via HDMI?

hi there
I have one of these, Toshiba Qosmio X870-F0086
http://www.toshibamea.com/ComputerProduct/4/Qosmio_X870-F0086/52569?pageid=4
I currently run an external monitor connected via HDMI with a resolution of 1920x1200
I would like to know if this Laptop supports higher resolutions via HDMI? 2560x1440 is what I require.
Please can someone assist.
Regards,
T

Good morning everyone (and Paulo ;) )
I have return to inform everyone that the specs stated on the Toshiba website are incorrect.
Yes, I was right.
I knew I was right from the start, as it simply made no sense to stipulate that 2048x1536 was the max res for analogue, but then to also state that 1920x1080 was the max for HDMI.
I knew that was wrong, as I had a 1920x1200 monitor connected via HDMI.
The bottom line, is that I now have a 2560x1440 monitor connected via HDMI at 60Hz.
*Works perfectly.*

My suggestion is that Toshiba update their website, to correctly reflect this scenario.
With the new generation monitors, more and more people will be asking these kinds of questions.
Cheers! :)

Using Qosmio G40 as HD-DVD player via HDMI to TV - possible?

Is it possible to use G40 as HD-DVD player connecting it via HDMI interface to TV (Loewe Individual)?
Have tried, however starting HD-DVD player, error message stating, can't use the interface.

Yes, this is possible. I am using my G40 that way for several month now on my Pioneer plasma screen.
When I want to play a DVD I do the following:
1. Connect the laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable
2. Turn the laptop and the TV on
3. On your TV choose the right input-source
3. On the laptop change the audio output tot HDMI
4. If your TV doesn't have dolby-, dts- or wma-decoders on board, then turn dolby, dts and wma on the laptop off at the HDMI-settings (or else you will hear only a ticking sound)
5. On the laptop press Fn+F5. Best you choose the video-output to only the TV. You should now see your laptop-screen on the TV-screen
6. Start Windows Media Center on your laptop (I don't use the stand alone Toshiba HD DVD player because sometimes it gives me problems). You should hear the starting sound of Windows Media Center on your TV
7. Load the DVD in the your laptops DVD-drive
8. On Windows Media center choose play a DVD
9. Enjoy the movie on your TV screen
10. You can use your Windows Media Center Remote control to operate the DVD at the laptop. On my configuration I can also use the volume-controle of the Remote control to change the sound-level of the HDMI-oputput
Later on - if you are ready with looking at the movie - don't forget to change the audio-output from HDMI to speakers or you will hear no sound on your laptop.
Success!

Does the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013) supports 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport?

I understand that the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013 with Nvidia) supports 4K screen resolutions via HDMI at low hertz. But does it support 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport? I read on Intel's web that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB memory in theory can support it. Would be important as a range of new 4K 32" monitors will come out over the next year. Would be great for photo, video editing etc.

I also am very confused by this because per apple's support page it only supports 4K via HDMI at 30Hz but SHOULD support 60Hz via a mini display port 1.2 specification built into thunderbolt 2.
However, I think it does include 60Hz support (although not mentioned on apple's website). My evidence of this is that on the ifixit teardown they found a an Intel DSL 5520 Thunderbolt 2 controller which according to Intel's and Wikipedia's website is falcon ridge which means it should support Display port 1.2 natively. Plus, on apple's thunderbolt page they specifically mention connecting a 4K display to a macbook pro through the thunderbolt port (not which is suggested by the support page listed above):
"Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
Also, the Apple mini displayport support page has not been updated since 2012 but I believe it is just showing old information
The BIG piece of evidence against the new macbook pro's supporting 4K through the thunderbolt port is that on apple's tech specs page they specifically mention 4K under the HDMI section but make no mention of it under the thunderbolt 2 section.

No sound connecting Qosmio G30 via HDMI to audio/video receiver

When I connect my Qosmio G30-177 via HDMI cable to my audio/video receiver using Windows Vista Ultimate I get no sound but excellent video.
When I connect the DVD recorder to the receiver (also via HDMI-cable) the sound is o.k.
Do I have to use the s/pdif interface instead of HDMI to transmit the sound to the receiver or is it also possible via HDMI?

Hi
Im not a audio expert but in my knowledge the HDMI transmit the audio and video signals.
The HDMI 1.0 and 1.1 support Dolby DigitalDTS audio format
The HDMI 1.2 supports Dolby DigitalDTS and DVD-Audio format
The HDMI 1.3 supports Dolby DigitalDTS, DVD-Audio and SACD audio formats.
All HDMI standards support a Typ A (19pol) jacks

"Mode not supported" Mac mini connected to LCD TV via HDMI

Hello, new mac min owner here (2.5) (September 2011). I followed the instructions in the "hello" booklet, including attaching peripherals, such as mouse and keyboard. I also connected a Samsung LCD TV via HMDI cable - as I propose to use this as my monitor. I then switchedn on the macmini, as directed in pages 11-16 of the macmini 'hello' handbook. Unfortunately I cannot even progress to the setup assistant as my TV just tells me that the "mode is not supported" through the HDMI cable. I assume that some output settings need to be changed in the macmini to accommodate the LCD TV output range.
My question is, how do I change these settings if the only screen I have is the screen that the macmini will not output to? Isn't this a massive oversight by Apple, given that a major selling point is the macmini's versatility?

What you are seeing, where you can't see the edges of the image, is known as "overscan".
This is something TVs have done forever to avoid seeing weird stuff at the edges of the transmitted frames.
The display control in System Preferences lets you turn overscan on or off (it is a checkable item in the "Options" panel). You might need to have this checked to display video, but you sure don't want it checked to use the TV as a computer display.
Although I have overscan OFF on my older Mac Mini, I've had the problem where sometimes after a restart the display is in overscan mode. To fix this, I can "guess" where the apple menu is off the top left of the screen, get to system preferences, check overscan to be on and then uncheck it to turn it back off. If you can't guess where the apple menu is successfully, you might try accessing the Mini from another Mac by using screen sharing. The shared screen looks correct even if overscan is on.

Do I need a support app to show videos from iPad to HDTV via hdmi cable?

Do need a support app to play videos from my iPad to a HDTV via hdmi cable?

No. The Videos app should work fine.

Does the iPad 2 have better resolution tethered via HDMI adapter to TV or via wireless to AppleTV? Maybe no difference at all?

Hello! I just wanted to know if there's a video quality difference between a direct connection to a TV with an iPad 2 using the HDMI adapter vs. connecting wirelessly to AppleTV (which is obviously tethered to TV via HDMI)?
I would assume that connecting wirelessly to AppleTV might degrade the video quality slightly?

That worked for me.
To recap:
My Apple TV was telling me I had the latest update, but it was wrong. I had version 4.3, you need version 4.4 for Airplay to work. I took the Apple TV over to my computer and connected it with a microUSB cable. In iTunes I hit restore.
The first time I did this I got an "Unknown error 1602" message and the restore failed. I rebooted my computer and used a different USB port and tried again. Whohoo! Success this time!. Now I have version 4.4.1 on my Apple TV and the Airplay "Mirroring" slider is there and working.
Thanks for your help!

My connection via hdmi to my TV is no longer working. Even if I use a thunderbolt to hdmi converter

Hi, the day before yesterday I turned on my tv which was connected via HDMI out on the mac mini to HDMI in on my TV. Everything was working fine, however I have been trying to set up dual monitoring on another monitor using an HDMI to VGA adapter to my second monitor but nothing was working. I was about to watch a film from the mac to the TV wen I thought it might be the resolution on the hdmi out why it wasn't working on the monitor but was on the TV so I changed the settings and the hdmi to the TV cut out. My main monitor is connected by thunderbolt to VGA adapter and works fine. I can change all the settings for screen resolution on the main monitor and have tried every setting on it then unplugging and plugging in the hdmi cable from the mac to the TV. I get the blue flash on the screen so I know it is being detected but here is where it gets weird.
I figured I would try the thunderbolt to HDMI converter I originally bought for my iMac and again the blue screen flashes up but there is no blue flash or any sort of detection on the TV.
The whole time there is nothing showing up on the screen, even when I unplug my main display from thunderbolt to VGA (the main monitor) and connect the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and plug in the hdmi to the TV.
I know it's not the hdmi cable as I have tested it on my youview box to my tv and it worked fine.
I also know its not the tv as iv connected my friends windows laptop to the TV using the same cable so it must be the settings on the mac.
I have tried doing a time machine restore to the day I bought it and have had no problems so far until I changed the settings. Why oh why did I mess about with it!!
If anyone can help please let me know ASAP.
It doesn't show up the HDMI output in audio anymore either, however like I say it flashes blue wen I connect the hdmi but seems to have no idea that the HDMI is connected in the display settings! It's so frustrating. I'm going to call the mac support today but if anyone on here hash as any similar problems n fixed them please let me know.
Btw I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I know I can connect via a long VGA cable but that's not really the point. I, at least would like to get my mirrored desktop on my tv back from HDMI!

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

Satellite P200 1EE - can this output to 1080p via HDMI?

HI
My first post on this forum.
I recently bought this notebook and have connected it to my LCD TV at home. However, I can't seem to get 1080p via HDMI only 1080i (my TV is capable of accepting 1080p through HDMI). Anyone know if this is possible? (I have updated the latest display drivers from Toshiba).
Also whilst watching movies, I am noticing a lot of grain/noise on the notebook screen. Is this normal or is it a defect? I was watching Transformers HD DVD last night and could see loads of noise not only during dark scenes but generally throughout the film.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Shak.

Hi Shak.
It helps that you've ensured your LCD tv supports 1080p. For this resolution you have to check in your graphic card driver catalyst a needed option. Open that control center and look for dvi settings and uncheck the "reduce dvi frequenzy on high resolution displays" option. 1080p should work now.
For the grainy/noisy thing with the Transformers HD-DVD. I don't think it is a defect or something like that. Just put in another movie and see if the picture quality is better or not. Quality differs from movie to movie.
Check it out and give me a quick answer if it worked.
Regards,
Joey

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

Hello Alex,
It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
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 systemYou 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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Audio & video via HDMI to an external monitor with lid closed.

I would like to run a Macbook Pro Retina (2014) with the lid closed and all video and audio via HDMI routed to an external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster from 2010). Is this possible? When I try this, no sound is transferred to the external monitor and I cannot operate the Macbook Pro with the lid closed. As soon as I close the lid, it cuts the signal to the external screen.
I’ve tried looking for previous posts but they’re about MCP’s connecting via Thunderbolt or DVI. Any ideas?

Seems like there may be two separate questions here. Audio working in either configuration and video from HDMI when lid closed. First, you are doing this with the Mac running off of AC, not battery, right?
Audio:
Is the HCMI cable you are using able to carry the audio? Some cables don't.
The only way I've ever used external displays with lid closed is with the thunder port (or DVI) adapter, not with the HDMI. I see the specs from Apple:
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
So have you tried varying the screen res to determine the results? I can find no specs regarding what ports remain operational in clamshell. Like you, I would have assumed all of them.
I suspect only the thunderbolt port would support your desired config -- try a thunderbolt/hdmi adapter.
Finally, clamshell mode doesn't allow the MBP to cool efficiently. Heat kills electronics, so if it's too warm or the fans really kick in, you might want to reconsider this setup.

MBP via HDMI to 24" monitor only runs the monitor not MBP display??

I own a 2008 Macbook Pro 15" from 08.
Have used monitors in the past but none via HDMI.
Recently got an Asus VE247H 24" monitor.
Connectd via DVI or VGA it works with a terrible screen resolution but i can still use my MBP pro display as a second monitor.
When using HDMI the resolution is great at 1080P but i cannot use my MBP display as a second monitor.
When using HDMI to mini display port am i limited to just 1 monitor?

I am using a new Mini Mac via HDMI, I get the First gray screen then nothing else

I am a First time user of a Mac and I've gone toturn it on fr the first time today, i conected it to a HD ready LCD tv via HDMI and get the first gray 'loading' screen then an 'English' over the speekers then nothing else
Any help would be apreciated

Make sure the TV's menu is actually set to connect to that HDMI port.
Make sure the TV is 1080p and is setup to use that resolution on the HDMI port in question.

X fails to detect monitor supported resolutions

I have 3 monitors connected to a Radeon HD 7750, using the radeon driver:
Left: NEC MultiSync 90GX², 1280x1024, connected via DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor
Middle: Samsung SyncMaster BX2335, 1920x1080, connected via DVI
Right: LG Flatron Wide, 1680x1050, connected via HDMI
On every reboot (warm or cold), X fails to detect the NEC monitor's supported resolutions. xrandr will only set it to 1024x768 or less, and it shows "no signal". However if I disconnect the VGA cable, plug it into another monitor (which is broken, but still powers on), and run xrandr again, it lists up to 1280x1024. If I then set the correct modes and layouts, then return the VGA cable to the NEC monitor, it works just fine. Turning the display off via xset doesn't cause any issue either. So on every reboot I have to move the cable to a spare monitor, set up xrandr, then move the cable back.
How can I save this working configuration and force X to apply it on boot even though the monitor for some reason claims to not support it?
I didn't have this issue with Ubuntu, but my setup was a bit different there, so possibly it just didn't manifest.
Here is the Xorg.0.log and journalctl -k from the most recent boot. The get-edid output is also interesting (and contains some control characters which pastebin removed).

The NEC on DVI would be only temporarily to get it's real edid-data .
Once you got that in a file, you can use a special kernel parameter at boot to force use of the real edid-data for the NEC monitor.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … s_and_EDID describes how it could be done.
Note that configuring this is tricky.

BenQ V2400 Eco monitor connected to macpro via HDMI

Hello LittleFeatFan
It sounds like to me that your MAC Book Pro is cycling through trying to find a compatible video mode with the monitor. Please be advised that HP monitors are not designed with MAC computers in mind they are designed for computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. The newer MAC computers run in what is called 'VESA' modes and will work on most HP Monitors. Try the following steps
1. Turn off the MAC Book Pro.
2. Connect the HP Monitor while the MAC Boot Pro is off.
3. Turn on the MAC Book Pro.
4. Set the monitor to run at 60 Hz.
I am also including a link to the driver page for your HP Monitor below. You will note there are no MAC O/S drivers available for this device.
