  • MacBook + samsung syncmaster T220

    Hi!
    I have Samsung Syncmaster T220 and miniDisplayPort to DVI adapter. When I connect that monitor w/ my macBook I can set maximum resolution 1280x1024 but maximum for monitor is 1680x1050.
    How I can set maximum resolution to 1680x1050?
    Thanks all.

    Guys... my problem is similar but not equal..
    I can set the 1680X1050 resolution on my Syncmaster T220.
    My macbook, that is connected to the monitor through a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, recognizes it immediatly.
    The problem is that it doesn't uses the entire SyncMaster's screen.
    It get the higher resolution, but it displays the things centered on the screen.
    I just can't strech it to get full screen.
    When I use lower resolutions, like 1024x768, it shows fullscreen.
    But with 1680x1050 don't.
    I start to suspect the VGA Cable...
    but I tested it on a windows xp laptop and I got 1680x1050 fullscreen.
    Now I suspect the mini-DVI to VGA Adapter or something software-related.
    I tryed to reset PRAM, but got no success.
    Have you ever gone through a problem like this?

  • External screen resolution "defaults" to low-rez (T510, docked; Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor)

    I have a T510 Thinkpad with docking station (Windows XP) with Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor. Every time I start up, it defaults to low resolution and I need to manually increase the screen resolution. Is there a way to make the default setting for the external monitor is high-resolution?
    Thanks!

    hey ct-user,
    it is hard to say if this is caused by the external monitor or by the docking station.
    try having the the external monitor connected to the T510 and see if it "saves" the resolution that was previously set.
    also, test the external monitor on a different laptop and see if the same issue occurs.

  • Configuring resolution on Samsung SyncMaster 932BW monitor

    I just bought a new Samsung SyncMaster 932BW monitor and can't figure out how to configure the resolution on it. It's widescreen, and supposed to be set at 1400 X 900, but the only options I have in the Displays System Preferences are 640 X 480, 800 X 600, 1024 X 768 and 1280 X 1024. None of these work, as the proportions are all stretched.
    The drivers that came with it are for PCs only, and Samsung says it doesn't suppy Mac drivers or offer tech support for Mac users. Is there a way to manually set my resolution to 1400 X 900? These are pretty nice monitors and they're selling like hot cakes on sale at Best Buy and Circuit City, so I'm sure there are tons of other Mac users who have dealt with this. Can any of you help a guy out?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    What graphics card do you use? Are you using DVi or VGA connection?
    You can make custom resolutions using SwitchResX.
    BTW, the resolution that you want is 1440x900.

  • MackBook Air 13" and Samsung SyncMaster TA550 Monitor

    I have MacBook Air 13" and I try to set up Samsung TA550 27" monitor to work with it. Now my MacBook does not want to use the requested (by Samsung) resolution 1920 x 1080 but only pushes lower resolutions. How can get this solved? I connect it with HDMI to HDMI using a MDPHDMI-HT adapter and I have done this already:
    1. Open MENU
    2. Go to "Input"
    3. Select "Edit Name" to open up the "Edit Name" sub menu.
    4. Scroll down to "HDMI" and select it, (watch carefully)
    5. Now assign "PC" or "DVI PC" to the HDMI setting BUT NOT VOILA :-(

    There's a lot of threads on "blurry text" in these forums.  Here's a google search:
    blurry text on monitor site:discussions.apple.com
    I didn't check any of these so I don't know if there's any useful info there.
    Not sure why your MBA sees the resolution as 1080i as opposed to the (equivalent?) 1920 x 1080. Maybe if you play with different font sizes you can clear things up a little.

  • Using a Samsung SyncMaster T220 1680X1050 resolution monitor

    Whenever I try using the above external monitor at the listed native resolution, my Macbook displays it for a split second before becoming a black screen. All of the lower resolutions listed in the Display PreferencePane work, but it's blurry and not too enjoyable to use (at the moment I'm using a 1280X800 resolution on it).
    I read somewhere that the SwitchResX application works, and I've tried it successfully too but I don't want to purchase more software for my Mac. Are there any other alternative solutions to this problem?
    As always, thanks for any help you can provide!

    First off, if SRX is the solution to your problem, the shareware fee seems to be a small price to pay given the alternative.
    But you could also just uninstall it. Now that it has appended the needed resolution to OS X data file, the data will remain, with or without SRX being installed.

  • Improving screen image on Samsung Syncmaster Monitor connected to MBP

    I struggled to remove the fuzziness from the picture displayed on my Samsung Syncmaster XL2270HD Monitor from my 2010 MacBook Pro. They are connected using an iWires DVI to HDMI cable. Then I found a contribution from ROLNAS2 from 2 years ago and a variant of the suggested solution works well for me:
    On the Samsung monitor control hit MENU and then select:
    Input > Edit Name > HDMI and set the detail to HDMI and DVI PC.
    Thanks ROLNAS2.

    Just a thought,
    Come to think of it, I've seen this issue when a display isn't getting enough power from the graphics card. - Does your Apple display work if as a single monitor attached to the Mac Pro?
    If the screen is black, it could also mean that there is no supported resolution for the monitor provided by your video card, this could also explain why your Mac still registers a connected display. - Have you tried different resolutions and/or bit rates.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • Samsung Syncmaster 151MP

    Hi,
    does anyone know if the apple Tv will work with a Samsung Syncmaster 151MP monitor/Tv ???
    Thanks

    It would be better if someone who actually had one of these displays could give you their experience.
    In the event that no one comes forth it is my opinion that you can use the display with the tv via component connection. I'm not actually sure how the display will handle a 720p connection from the tv, I assume it will downscale the picture to its own resolution of 1024 x 768, but at worst you may find yourself using the tv's 480p or 576p outputs (but I'd guess not)

  • Samsung SyncMaster 245T Sleeping Mode

    Hi
    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 245T monitor with my G5 mac.
    When the monitor goes to sleep I can never get it to turn back on until I restart the computer.
    Any suggestions about how to regulate this?

    I would connect it to another monitor that I knew will work, once at the DT I would go to system preferences and set the display to a setting I know will work, say 1024x768, shut down my mac, connect the samsung and start. If you have a graphics card that has duel video ports and connect both up and set the video settings that way.
    Does the samsung have a menu that allows monitor settings that can be changed?

  • Samsung SyncMaster 2243 Shows Only Black

    I've just purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 2243 monitor and changed its resolution. When rebooting my Mac the monitor shows only black with an alert exactly saying: 'Non optimum mode - Optimum mode 1920x1080 60Hz'.
    The point is that I have no chance to go and change the resolution, because the monitor won't show other than black. I tried to restart from the system DVD pressing the C key on restart but with still the same result.
    Don't really know what else to do. Can anyone eventually help me from out there?
    By the way, I must say (and this is the strange part of all) that the first three or four times I switched my Mac on, after the advice the monitor showed, I could see my desktop and operate normally.
    Thank you in advance
    Giovanni

  • MacMini looks terrible with Samsung SyncMaster 225BW

    I have the latest Mac working with a Samsung SyncMaster 225 monitor, and the font aliasing look terrible! Is there anything I can do about this? I have gone through the colour calibration and it is slightly improved, but it still looks pretty poor.
    I have connected this monitor to a PC and the font display looks good, except for Apple's webpages (such as these discussion forums)! What fonts are used here? And why do these look so poor on this 22" 1680x1050 DVI connected TFT monitor?
    Any clue would be appreciated?

    Thanks for the reply. I think it is half and half, the problem is both Apple and the Samsung. I believe the graphics adapter (Intel GMA 950) in the MacMini is pretty poor and what you said about Apple's font smoothing... and I think the actual Samsung panel is somehow not good with this adapter.
    I tried the MacMini on an NEC 21" and it looked better, and I also tried it on a BenQ 24" and this was pretty good. I also have a iMac 24" and whatever panel they use in that, the fonts, etc looks pretty **** good!
    So there must be something going on with the Samsung 225BW and the Mini itself! (Although, to be honest, my NEC 1770NX 17" LCD monitor is not giving that good a display at the moment!)
    Is there a way of updating the driver for this Samsung (or this NEC 1770NX) monitor?! Are we all stuck with whatever driver the Mac uses when it detects the display?

  • MacMini mid-2011/ Yosemite w Samsung Syncmaster monitor

    Hello all.
    I have been happily working with my MacMini mid-2011 (2.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM) with a Samsung Syncmaster B2440 HDMI-connected to it for a long time.
    Since the upgrade to Mavericks and later to Yosemite, the following problem occurs: when switching the monitor off, and later switching it back on, no video signal is sent to the monitor, which remains blank and tries to switch through all its different inputs. Unplugging the hdmi cable and plugging it back in also gives no joy. It looks like the whole video output services are switch off at OS level or something.
    The only thing I can do to get the monitor on, oddly enough, is to connect to the mac mini through a remote desktop from another device, and switching the display to my AppleTV. This action does switch also the Samsung monitor back on.
    So I then thought, great, I will create myself an apple script and a workflow associated to this AirPlay monitor switch and associate it to a keyboard shortcut, but this does not appear to work either (no, the shortcut is not in conflict with any other global shortcut).
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Hi lllass.
    When I tried that it appeared to work, but after some days it started doing it again. I am really puzzled by this.
    Thanks

  • MacBook Air mid-2013 OSX 10.9.1 cannot connect to DVI Monitor

    Does anyone else have this problem?  I've seen similar issues raised, but so far can't find a solution to my particular issue:
    MacBook Air Mid 2013 (ordered Jan 2014)
    - 1.3GHz Intel Core i5
    - 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
    - OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.
    When I connect my MacBook Air to any monitor (well, I've tried three monitors: Benq, NEC and Samsung) the monitor will not detect an attached computer. The MacBook also does not think it's connected to an external display.
    If I connect via VGA cable, it works fine most of the time*, so the display port seems to work only for VGA and not DVI.
    I am using mini display port adapters (DVI and VGA) purchased from the Apple Store.
    The adapter for the mini display to DVI works fine, since I can get my 2009 MacBook unibody to connect to an external display via DVI without issue. So it's not the adapter, or the DVI cable.
    I have tried resetting the System Management Controller for my MacBook air but it does not work.  No matter how many times I reset the computer (Hard reset, Soft power down, SMC reset) I cannot get it to connect via DVI.
    Has anyone experienced this issue, or seen a resolution for it?
    *The only other symptom I get periodically, is that after being disconnected from a VGA monitor, the computer will periodically (about 2/5 times) not connect to the VGA monitor either without a reboot.   However it will connect most of the time, and ALL of the time after a reboot.
    Thank you

    Thanks themachead: I have tried the adaptors on different macs, as I indicated in my post.  The adaptor works fine with a different mac
    Yes, I have also tried starting up with the monitor connected, and disconnected.
    I just got off the phone with Apple Care. They couldn't solve my issue through normal means, but during one attempt, we closed my MacBook Air while it was connected to the external display, with my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard connected via Bluetooth.  The external monitor did not come on.  However when I opened my Macbook Air's screen, we saw that my Mac had crashed and prompted me to reboot. When it did, the external monitor worked.  I have been able to disconnect and reconnect the monitor and it seems to be working now.   I will see what happens after a few attempts.

  • Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27

    Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27 inch with HDMI to thunderbolt port adapter but works like a charm in Windows 7 when I bootcamp over to it. Any ideas? The cable is working properly as shown by the fact that Windows 7 uses both monitors perfectly. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion and have already done the option + cmd + p + r boot reset to no avail. It does not find the second monitor at all as in it doesn't even show up in the display preference pane.

    Arguably, they're both right.
    Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
    As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
    Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

  • 3rd Party Display Resolution Issue - Mid 2011 iMac 27inch Mavericks- iMac wont allow max resolution of Samsung SyncMaster SA850

    Hi Guys,
    I just updated my 27 inch iMac to Mavericks and can't get my third party 27inch Samsung screen to run at maximum resolution. Even when using the "Alt" Click and select Scale shortcut I cant display the 2560 x 1440 resolution the screen is capable of.
    I've called apple support and they couldn't rectify the issue nor could samsung. I've even tried the monitor in another iMac updated to mavericks and have the same issue.
    Im connecting using a mini display port to DVI cable through my thunderbolt port.
    My machine is Mid 2011 27inch iMac 3.1ghz core i5 with AMD Radeon HD graphics card upgraded to Mavericks
    Monitor is brand new 27 Samsung SyncMaster SA850. I was able to get it to work at max resolution on a Windows 7 PC.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of returning the screen, hopefully Samsung will take it back.

    The standard > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter only supports 24" monitor resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
    For a larger monitor you need either a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    or perhaps a simple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable if your monitor supports DisplayPort input.
