Satellite P75/P70 - is RGB output 1920 x 1080 ?

Hi
I know the  HDMI  Port on my Toshiba Satellite will output video at  Full HD.
My questions is:-
=>  does the  RGB  Port on my Toshiba Satellite  P75/P70  output video at  Full  HD  Resolution  1920 x 1080  ?
and if yes
=>  does the RGB Port  also support the higher  1900 x 1200 Resolution  ?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi dbertoli
Thanks for taking the time to help.
What I need to do is to run the Laptop Screen  plus   2 x 24"  External Displays   and  run all  3  screens in Windows Extended Desktop mode.
This way I can move open Windows around to differnet areas of all  3  screens  ie:  all  3  screens will be showing different things.
As such, a HDMI splitter wont help because all it will do is  " duplicate "  the same thing across however many screens it is connected to.
Matrox offer their  Dual2Go  boxes  which  *can*  do what I want, but I have used them before and there is noticable video lag along with a significant drain on o/s resources.
The  best / perfect way to do it is   *nativley*  ie:  Laptop Screen + HDMI Output + VGA  [ RGB ? ]  Output.
From your  VGA Wiki link, it confirms that:-
" ... Today, the VGA analog interface is used for high definition video including 1080p and higher ..... "
So .... the missing pieces of information from Toshiba are:-
=> is their  RGB  port  the same as a standard VGA port ?
[  the fact that for some weird reason Toshiba call their port an RGB port  ( ie: Red Green Blue Port  )  and  *not*  a  VGA port *may* actually suggest it is not actually the same as a full-resolution VGA port  ]
=> what resolutions does their RGB port support  ?
This is normally very basic fundumental information published in the specs for any machine.
For some reason, Toshiba have chosen  *not*  to publish this information anywhere - or at least anywhere I can find.
Hence I am hoping a Toshiba User or Representaitve here can confirm one way or the other.

  • Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change

    My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
    entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
    Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
    cannot re-enter bios.
    Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple  1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
    i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
    i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
    I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white  horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
    is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
    I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
    this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
    I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
    any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
    or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
    UPDATE
    to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
    1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
    2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
    3 download bios from toshiba website.
    4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally  c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
    5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
    6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app. 
    7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
    once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win 
    8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
    9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
    10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
    11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
    if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.

    Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
    anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery

  • Satellite p75-a7200 error on boot. Please help ASAP.

    Just bought this laptop for my daughter on Christmas. Here is the error information.
    When I power on the system I get a blue screen with this on it.
    Recovery
    Your PC Needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
    File: \BCD\
    Error Code 0xc0000034
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. (And so on)
    Press ESC for UEFI firmware Settings (This only puts me into system BIOS)
    How can I make this recovery tool(s) when I can not even get into Windows 8?
    Note: I have another laptop that I can use, but im not able to make a Bootable USB for some reason in Windows 7.

    In case Windows does not boot, you should be able to enter the recovery environment, which in Windows 8.x looks like the picture below.
    From Troubleshoot you can go to System Restore, Safe Mode, Startup repair ("Automatic Repair"), a command prompt,  the BIOS/UEFI, or even restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents from the recovery partition..
    According to Microsoft, trying and failing to boot several times will eventually take you to the recovery environment instead. According to Toshiba, you can also get there by pressing F2 or the zero key on powering up.
    Try many times.
    Have you upgraded to Windows 8.1?

  • Satellite P75-A7100 No HDMI Audio Help Please!

    Had to make device dual boot due to work circumstances with 7 32bit on one side and 8.1 64 bit on the other side.  Read the posts and lots of tinkering with but still no audio out on the HDMI on either sides.  Primarily looking to accomplish on the 8.1 side.  Went through thre reccomended driver install directly from the TOSHIBA page in the order reccomended:
    1. Chipset
    2. HD4600
    3. Conexant Audio Driver
    No luck with the video being fine and no audio.  Not recognizing the audio connection in the drivers portion even under disconnected and disabled devices.  
    Also downloaded latest HD4600 driver from intel and tried to manually install AUDIO portion but getting the windows Error 10 and not allowing.  From what I read that is the fix but no luck there.  
    Any suggestions or direction please?

    Downloads here.
    I don't really know anything about this. I stopped by because you didn't mention looking for the HDMI audio here.
       Control Panel > Sound > Playback tab
    If you don't see it there, right-click in that panel and make sure all devices are showing. I once needed to change the default device there in order to enable the HDMI sound.
    Just a a thought. If that's not your trouble, I can't help.

  • Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
    According to Intel's Docs:
    "Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
    I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
    I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
    Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
    Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
    Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon

  • What is the best image size to import to Elements 7 for use in HD 1920 x 1080 video being output to BluRay?

    Steve's book (love it!) suggests something like 1000 x 750 which seems too small for HD.  It would seem that 1920 x 1080 would not require any scaling or adjustment for use in a HD wide screen BluRay project.

    The 1000x750 size is based on SD Project and Assets. In your case, you'd want 1920x1080, if that is your output Frame Size. If you will need to pan on any images that are fully zoomed out, you should calculate the amout of pan that you need, and then resize to that, keeping the Frame Sizes as close as you can to your Project.
    Good luck,

  • Satellite P75-A7200 hard drive mount connector

    I am missing the hard drive mount that secures the additional hard drive on the Satellite P75-A7200.
    Does anybody know where I could find this piece?

    About a month ago I replaced failed 20GB hard drive in a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 with a 40GB Samsung 2.5" Hard Drive that I bought from PC World for 45 (ordered via their website using the collect@store option). Since then the laptop has performed without problems.The only minor annoyance is that the recovery CD's formatted the new hard drive with 2 20MB partitions rather than a single one of 40MB. The main thing to check if you are not replacing drives on a like for like basis is that the power consumption of the replacement drive is no greater than that of the original otherwise you could encounter overheating problems.
    The smaller (20GB and 30GB) drives originally fitted to the A10 no longer appear to be readily available. A 40GB Toshiba 2.5" hard drive is available from MISCO for around 49+delivery.
    Hope this helps.

  • Replacement for Windows 8.1 on a Satellite P75-A7100?

    Windows 8/8.1 is horrible for non-touch computers, but I don't want to argue that point. The poor sales of Windows 8/8.1 are proof enough.  I wouldn't have bought this computer if I had known what I now know about WIndows 8/8.1.
    From reading posts here, I gather there is a big problem getting drivers for the Satellite P75-A7100 if one tries to downgrade to Windows 7 and that therefore downgrading to Windows 7 is not practical.
    I have read that the next version, Windows 10, will try to remedy the touch screen interface people like me don't like.  Will there be a driver problem or other problems upgrading to Windows 10 on the Satellite P75-A7100?

    Hey there, after literally months of reseach and headaches i was able to downgrade and track down all drivers. Thankfully i am stubborn enough to see this kind of pains through. If you are still looking to downgrade let me know, i'll find a way to get them to you.

  • My Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot

    Hi all,
    tried to update my Satellite P75-A7200 to 8,1 .
    Now it won't start up anymore. It said no BOOTABLE DEVICE. I've tried to press F12 when turning on the computer; BOOT menu come up, I don't have the HDD RECOVERY option.
    Can somebody let me know how to fix it or where I can get the RECOVERY MEDIA?
    Thank you.

    I found very interesting document about recovery options after system upgrade to Win8.1
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4403L30001R01.htm
    I didnt test it because I have created recovery USB before I have started to change preinstalled OS and installed Win8.1 upgrade.
    Please check it out and send some feedback.

  • Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot

    Hello all,
    I've had my Satellite P75 for over a year and it's performed flawlessly. Recently though, when I power off the laptop before I go to bed and then turn it on in the morning, it takes over a half hour for the boot sequence to actually reach Windows 8.1. The laptop's power light and keyboard both illuminate, so the unit obviously still receives power. Now, though, it hangs at a black screen and won't reach windows at all after having left it running for over 2 hours.
    I've tried removing and re-inserting the main battery, CR-2032 battery, and HDD, as well as multiple F2 and F12 button combinations on startup. The laptop still stays at a black screen upon power-up and won't reach Windows at all. I can't access the BIOS or the advanced startup options as it doesn't even reach the Toshiba logo anymore. I've made sure not to leave the AC adaptor plugged in as I know it can overcharge the battery; I've also experienced a strange electric current on the aluminium housing of the laptop when it's plugged in (Could this be because the AC adaptor uses 2 prongs and therefore isn't grounded?).
    Any quick fixes or help for this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • How do you segment a long project and preserve HD 1920 x 1080 pixels at each step?

    I'm shooting video with a Canon HF S10 in the maximum quality (1920 x 1080 i) mode.  The resulting files in AVCHD format are coming into the computer and into Elements 7 okay.  The desired  Project output is BluRay.  I want to maintain the full image quality (1920 x 1080) end-to-end (lesser quality is okay on the timeline if that all that is available).  My current project is about 65 minutes long--future ones could be two hours or more.  All the 100+ trimmed clips and transitions are on the timeline.  Saving the Project file seems to work, but re-opening the Project takes a long time and doesn't always work.  Rendering this long timeline ulitimately freezes/crashes.  When the Project was much shorter, the save and reload cyle worked okay.
    Per Steve's book a work around is to break the project into pieces around 10 minutes long, render and save them to AVI files, reload and merge the AVI files into a new "Master" Project and then render the whole thing to BluRay(?).  Better yet he suggests outputing to a folder and burning the disc with other software.  But Elements does not output BluRay to a folder.  And when I experimented outputing with AVI segment files, quality dropped a lot suggesting that the 1920 x 1080 is not preserved in AVI format.
    It appears that:
         AVI files are just the DV 720 x 480 image quality of mini DV tape
         Output to a folder in BluRay image format is not available
         Elements 7 does not support breaking an HD 1920 x 1080 timeline into segments for long projects
    Any ideas will be appreciated.  Canon does supply a crude editing software package that is claimed to do simple cuts and transitions and produce a file that can be loaded back into the HF S10 memory for playback (distributing product on SD cards instead of BluRay is a novel possibility).  I'd prefer to use Elements or a similar software product that takes me start to finish without losing any pixels.
    Finally, I have a backlog of several long projects using HDV tape as a source.  I want those to go to BluRay too, but not giving up any of the 1440 x 1080 pixels.  I think the same limitations above apply to HDV.
    After waiting several years to get this end-to-end capability, it is disappointing to find it still seems to be out of reach (maybe is just hidden).
    Sometime soon, I hope Steve will write an edition that deals exclusively with the end-to-end HD (1920 x 1080) work flow including best scaling of still images, storage of image files and output to BluRay and creating slide shows using all the HD pixels (no SD compromises) again on BluRay.  That of course means Adobe may need to add some tweaks in Elements 8.
    Terry 9391
    PS, my PC is using an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, Vista OS, 4 GB of memory, has access to several TB of HD, and a couple of GB of Ready Boost memory (does this really help?) and a 1920 x 1200 monitor.

    You could export each section as 1920x1080 MPEG2 using the Share>Personal Computer>MPEG option then selecting the MPEG2 1920x1080i export Preset.
    You can also export as AVI... however this will be uncompressed AVI with a file size of over 1GB per minute... File>Export>Movie then in Settings under General>File Type select Microsoft AVI (not Microsoft DV AVI). Then in Video>Compressor select None, in Frame Size set 1920x1080 and in PixelAspect Ratio select Square Pixels.

  • Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt connection

    Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt adapter?

    The 1080p and 1080i options only appear on the HDMI display settings, the display settings for the thunderbolt to vga adaptor has 1920 x 1080.
    Via the HDMI output of the Mini via an HDMI cable to a HDMI input on the Samsung the display fills the screen but the text looks vile.
    The options for picture adjustement on the samsung include fill screen as you suggest
    Using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor the text looks as it should, crisp and clear but the display is shitfted to the right.
    The options for picture adjustment on the Samsung does not have the 'fill screen' option available when the VGA input is selected. However a new option called 'pc screen adjustment' appears and you can nudge the display over to the left a bit but not enough to cover the whole screen.
    I remind you the pc worked perfectly 1920 x 1080 on the same VGA cable and input to the samsung.

  • Quicktime Export 1920 x 1080

    Hi
    Using CS5 Master Collection.
    I am giving my finished output to someone who is doing color correction for me.  The source is 1920 x 1080, (1.9), 29.97 fps Progressive.
    They want a quicktime format.  Not an AVI.
    I am looking at the Export Settings for QuickTime and I only see 720 x 480, in various flavors.
    Certainly there must be a way in premiere to export to Quicktime 1920 x 1080????
    I assume there are plenty of threads here, but thought I'd start from scratch and get some recommended "best practices" for this issue.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Good day to you all.
    I'm having real problems exporting to Quicktime but I'm in the UK and obviously the format is PAL rather than NTSC, but I'm not sure if that affects the QuickTime settings.
    I'm using PPro CS5 and I have downloaded the AVID codecs, mentioned above, and I can see them in the Video Codec menu.
    My source file is:
    Format: .avi
    Frame rate: 25
    Duration: 5m 30s
    Size: 720 x 576 (1.4587)
    Audio: 48000Hz - 16 bit - stereo
    I want to output this to play on iPads, Macs, etc. in the UK. Which setting should I be using as I have gone around in ever decreasing circles and keep getting the "Error compiling movie", "Unable to create or open output file" dialogue.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • X200s: No support for 1920 x 1080

    Hi,
    I bought an 24" TFT with 1920 x 1080 resolution.
    I connected it with an VGA-cable to my Ultrabase (docking-station).
    The Problem now is, that I can Choose the resolution in the Intel Graphics Properties as well as in the Windows (Vista Business 32 bit) properties, but the Monitor show "Out Of Range"!
    1600 x 1050 is working, but that not the native resolution of the monitor.
    I already installed the newest Inter driver and did the latest BIOS-Update today, but the same problem.
    What to do?

    Hi bos,
    Welcome the the Lenovo forum 
    I agree with sveintore that digital video is preferable for the high resolution you're trying to run. As sveintore said, you could use a USB-> DVI adapter, or if you have an X200 UltraBase, a DisplayPort->DVI-D cable.
    I also agree with lead_org, I think your X200s's analog video output is capable of driving the 1920x1080 resolution, but maybe the signalling between your video card and your monitor is not working optimally and you will have to manually specify the vertical refresh frequency (and possibly other timing parameters as well). You may be able to do this using the Intel graphics driver controls. Or you could try PowerStrip. But either way, you are likely to see display artifacts when driving such a high resolution with an analog signal.
    Good luck!

  • Why are there no 1920 X 1080 Choices in the Sequence settings

    I watched some videos trying to understand what is the best speed and frame size to use when creating a video.  Basically Lynda.com they are saying 1920 X 1080 is full resolution and this is the desirable setting for outputting best resolution.  The aspect ratio for this is 56%.
    Also they explained the best speeds for the type of output you plan to make.  So from this I naturally expected to find a High definition 1920 X 1080 setting as a choice in setting up a new Sequence in Premier Pro.  Wrong!  To my surprise there is only one choice that will give you these setting right out of the box, What's up with the settings choices.  The recommended setting should be right there and easy to find.  Below I show the choice of AVCHD is the only obvious choice for creating a 1920 X 1080 video.  Can you guys help?

    Just to toss in my two cents worth - I don't believe any DSLR shoots 1080i, should all be progressive as 1080p or 720p. And back to the "HDV" or "Anamorphic HD" thing - with square pixels (1.0 Pixel Aspect Ratio) 1080i/p is 1920x1080 and if you divide each side of that by 120, you get 16 and 9. A 16:9 ratio between width and height (not 56% or 1.7777777 !!!!). "Anamorphic" widescreen is a way of "faking it", and saving a smaller file since less data is involved. That is how HDV works. It uses 1440x1080 pixels, and they are not square, rather they are rectangular with a 1.333 pixel aspect ratio. The pixels are wider than they are tall, and that makes up the difference so that it still plays back looking like 16:9 (IF the player respects the PAR). Simple math shows that 1440 x 1.333 = 1920! So 1440x1080 with 1.333 PAR "looks" the same as 1920x1080 with 1.0 PAR, even though 1440x1080 comes out to 4:3. Which brings up the last point, if anyone IS editing HDV footage, and wants to export to say YouTube or other other computer/tablet playback formats, do NOT export as 1440x1080 because most players will not pay attention to the PAR and the video will look like 4:3 (players wrongly assume 1.0 PAR). You will want to export as 1920x1080 with 1.0 PAR and then all is right with the world. Or take it down to 720p at 1280x720, also 16:9 with 1.0 PAR for correct playback.
    Thanks for reading and good night ;-)
