Resolution 1920x1080 not available for an external monitor

Hi,
I've just bought a Tv Lcd + Monitor 24 Samsung P2470hn, I have a DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable to the monitor. But when a I go to System Preferences -> Displays, I only have resolutions up to 1600x900. The monitor supports 1920x1080 but it isn't available. What I'm doing wrong? Could it be the DVI to HDMI cable? The monitor has a DVI input.
One weird thing is that when I go to System Profiler -> Graphics/Displays I see that the external monitor has this
SyncMaster:
Resolution: 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Rotation: Supported
Television: Yes
Note the last item "Television: Yes" could be that the problem? if so how can I change it?
Thanks
Gabriel

I find it very annoying that I have to use MiniDisplay Port to VGA to get 1366x768 or 1920x1080 resolution options in the Display Control Pane. If I use MiniDisplay Port to HDMI, I get some old common resolutions, (some weird ones too like 1344x1024) as well as 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. 1080p would be great, except this is more of a "TV" video input rather than a "PC" monitor input, I either get overscan or underscan (depending on the "Overscan" check box).
Why, especially since it's all digital with HDMI, doesn't Apple include nice 1:1 Pixel mapping using HDMI? It's very frustrating! I've noticed some, (generally more expensive HDTVs, like my 63" Samsung Plasma), HDTVs will do "Just Scan" (as opposed to "OverScan" or "UnderScan") then the 1080p with HDMI works beautifully.
All of my VIZIO TVs, I have to use the VGA to get 1:1 Pixel mapping. At least, with a high quality VGA cable (even my 25 foot one from MonoPrice.com that would cost 10 times more at a local store) does convert back to digital (for LCD panel) without noticeable noise and pixel shifting (or ghosting, which I've seen with cheap VGA cables, weird, seeing analog distortions on a digital LCD display, but hey, bad analog in -bad analog looking image out). Plus, unless you have the newest Macs with audio supported through the MiniDisplay Port, you can only get the TV speakers to work with the "PC" VGA input and the "PC" audio input (3.5mm stereo phono jack) next to it. With an HDMI input, the TV will look for audio in the HDMI source and not from the "PC" audio input.

  • How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

    I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

    Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
    What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
    This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

  • Satellite M50-156: How can I change resolution for my external monitor?

    Hi,
    I bought an exernal monitor for my laptop M50-156 which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
    But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
    I tried to update the graphic card and chipset, but the max resolution I have is 1280x1024!
    So my external monitor cannot display properly :( Did anybody have the same problem?
    Please help.. Thanks.
    Beb

    > But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
    The resolution is not available and this says everything!!! Its not possible to choose this and you will have to use another resolution!
    There are two reasons why your favorite external resolution is not available:
    1) the graphic card chip does not support this
    2) or the graphic card driver does not contain this resolution.
    In your user manual you can find all supported and available external resolution
    But I assume the 1920x1080 is not supported

  • What is the maximum resolution for an external monitor for a 13" BMP

    I have a new MBP 13 and a new Samsung LED 23" monitor that is spec'd at 1920x1080 resolution. However the maximum resolution I can get (using Display) for the external monitor is 1600x900 (or 1600x1200 stretched). What could be causing this limitation?

    Are you guys able to resolve the issue with the Samsung HDTV LCD monitor? I just bought the Samsung B2230HD but having some image issue. I am connecting to the LCD from my macbook pro using Mini Display Port -> DVI -> HDMI but the image on the LCD is very grainy where the text is not sharp at all. The mac is able to detect the correct resolution of 1920x1080 though

  • HT1338 the Macbook Pro would not even detect the external monitor.

    My Macbook pro will not connect to an external monitor after moving it. It has been running on this same monitor for 8 months. I switched to a new Desk last night, after hooking it up, the Macbook Pro would not even detect the external monitor. It was only showing the Macs monitor in Display. It did not even have where you could "Detect Display" available. Is there an update that I may have missed. I have tested all the Monitor connections with another laptop they all work.

    finally I would like to know if my computer falls under

    If nothing displays but you hear normal startup sounds, then it's possible this is a video issue, and you should take it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.

  • How do we deduce (if we can) SMTP address for an exchange account with only x500 address available? In what cases SMTP address is not available for exchange accounts (please see details below)?

    I am using PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS to retrieve sender's email address for exchange mails, but for some mails I only get the exchange X500 addresses. In such case, I can use PR_SENDER_ADDRTYPE
    to check the type but when I detect an X500 address instead of an SMTP one, is there a way I can enhance SMTP lookup? What might be the reasons that SMTP address is available for some External senders and not for others, as in my case? I am using MAPI CDO
    1.2.1 with Exchange Server 2010.
    MSDN Question

    If you getting an X500 Address that generally means there is Directory object (in Active Directory) for that sender, if its an external sender then it most probably there is an AD Contact from that Sender. The best thing to do is just use resolve method
    in CDO to resolve the X500 Address to the Directory object and you should then be able to get the associated SMTP Address from the recipient object. (you also just use LDAP to lookup Active Directory directly).
    Cheers

  • All of the sudden 90% of the things on my dvr say not available for mobile viewing

    For about the last week, almost everything I record on my dvr says not available for mobile viewing on my iPad. It was fine until the middle of last week.

    I really cannot offer any suggestion to you, but just to say I know what you are talking about.  I haven't hit the 90% mark yet (knock on wood), but I have had and continue to get random shows that record to the DVR but don't show up on the mobile apps due the the "not available for mobile viewing" error. I have posted in the past about this, as well as spoken to Comcast reps about this issue, yet no resolution is ever offered.  Sometimes it goes away on its own, but can return weeks later.  Very frustrating. A question for you though.  Are you setting your recording schedule through the mobile app, website, or the DVR guide itself?  I've noticed sometimes when I use the website to set my recording schedule, some of the shows just randomly don't record to the cloud dvr. If I use the DVR guide itself, then I haven't noticed the issue.  Could be a coincidence or not.  I hate using the DVR guide to set a recording schedule though.  Much rather prefer to use the website to set up a schedule.  I also notice I get the "Not available for mobile viewing" error on one time recordings.  I have yet to see a series recording give me that error.

  • New DSO data fields are not available for transformations in the upwardflow

    Hello,
    There are data flow from
        many source DSOs -> Target DSO -> Final DSO.
    Different transformations are defined and activated with DTPs. This works fine and provides the desired results.
    now new fields are added to the target DSO, final DSO and one of the source DSO.
    When I now try to edit the transformations, the new fields are not part of the sources at the different stage.
    The fields are available in the Data Source created out of a DSO but not directly when using a DSO as a data source.
    Have anyone faced such a problem?
    any solutions to this?
       - I cannot delete all the other transformations as this is too much work to do and there is no time for it.
    Regards
    Kannan

    We created ZMD_BS_MAT_OVP_LAYOUT. But the situation has not changed - the fields are not available for edit.

    problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If iPhoto  is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.
