Screen Refresh frequency on my Portege M300 stuck on 60Hz.

Hi,
I can only set my Refresh frequency to 60Hz on my laptop screen.
Watching the screen for a long time at below 75hz can give me a headache.
I all ways set my screen refresh rate to above 75Hz keeping the resolution around 1024x768, prefer 85Hz-100Hz.
Apart from buying asprins or investing in a monitor can anyone help me set my screen refresh rate above 60Hz.
regards
John

Hi,
I have just conducted a survey of Laptops around and surprise surprise. Other manufacturers notebooks can change refresh frequency to above 60Hz, at 1024x768.
I have done Monitor/TFT screen testing and it is recommended for that the higher the refresh frequency the better quality of presentation.
I think Toshiba should address this issue and allow people the ability to set the refresh rate to higher level, where technically possible, not the take or leave it attitude some people have.
So could someone from Toshiba address this issue as it will cost them customers?

    Hi
    I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz.
    The display refresh rate is not important on the notebook screens.
    TFT matrix doesn't have such thing as refresh rate. It doesn't blink.
    TFT like all other LCD screens doesn't have refresh rate parameter, only reaction time.
    Your eyes are safe ;)
    Ps: As far as I know the AGP port is not available.

  • Picture-refreshing frequency issue

    Hello,
    I got this problem: I display 3 different pictures in a sequence. Whole sequence last 1 second (0,3333 per picture) and is repeated continuously. While doing this, I've got some displaying issues - some white flahes occours on the pictures. This is easily visible, as pictures have black background. Those flashes appear as white stripes or fields oriented horizontally in different part of picture. I think this is some refreshing issue, but I'm not sure about it and don't know how to check it. I did not succeed at making print screen of those flashes, which I think confirm this is some displaying issue. I want to know what You guys think about it, if can it be solved, is this my hardware issue or some kind of LabVIEW limitation. I've checked it on 3 different displays (my laptop screen, my PC LCD screen, projector) with 50-60Hz refresh frequency and results were the same. I've tried with different picture resolutions and I think these flashes are more common in bigger pictures.
    I attach all VI I use to display those images and some reference pictures for You to check if You too got this issue.
    Few words about how this VIs work:
    There are 2 VIs - controling one and displaying one. I need it this way as I want to have pictures displayed on second monitor while being able to adjust them from front panel on 1st monitor. So there is this Displaying VI which only displays images, and Controling VI which sets all parameters. To get it work, You need to open Displaying VI and make it run. Then You open either ControlingPredefine or ControlingGenerated, set:
    Interval value (time between changing pictures, 333 is my case),
    VI path (this should be path of Displaying VI)
    monitor (0 - main screen, 1 - second screen if You have. I made it this way as I've been checking it with different monitor configurations (laptop only vs laptop + projector))
    and run it. When set correctly Displaying Vi should be fullscreened on monitor set in monitor control and display 3 pictures in Interval
    There are 2 Controling VIs:
    Predefined works on existing jpg pictures chosen from hard drive (there are 3 additional path controls which need to be set before running)
    Generated generates pictures in the real time, you can chose between 2 figures (circle/square) and set 3 sizes (each for each picture in sequence)
    Stop button from Controling Vi stops both VIs (Controling and Displaying).
    I attach 2 sets of pictures (small and big) made in paint.
    My LabVIEW version is 2011
    Solved!

    Chudy,
    I looked at the ControlingGenerated VI and do not see the flashes.  I did add the Run VI node and similar changes.  I tried it with your original Displaying VI and with one I modified to include a delay.  When I set both delays to zero or very small values, it appears that the two images can get out of sync.  I suspect that this is due to the screen update rate by the OS and not specifically something in the VI.
    It really does not make any sense to update faster than the OS will write to the screens.  The excess data will be ignored.
    Similarly, you should separate the communications with the serial port from the screen updates.  Look at the Producer/Consumer Design Patterns which come with LV.  Read the serial port in a parallel loop which is dedicated to just that task. Typically queues are used to pass data from one loop to the other.
    Here is a version I modified to use a queue and to call Displaying as a subVI rather than via an Invoke node.  Notice that the Displaying VI no longer uses the Loop Terminator and that the timing is set by the Dequeue wait.  The Displaying loop will run the same number of times and at the same average rate as the main loop.

  • PrE 11 Causes Screen Refresh Failure

    I am working on a relatively new (less than six months out of the factory) Lenovo W530 laptop and whenever I move the window containing PrE around on the display it leaves a continuous trail behind wherever the window has been, as per this example.
    The really baffling thing is that this problem does NOT happen with any other program I use, including Photshop Elements. I will note that forcing a screen refresh (F5) will restore the underlying desktop display but not any other windows that have been overwritten.
    I have updated all video drivers to the most current (see notes below) and have deleted the BadDrivers.txt file as suggested in the support forum.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) with a 1.0Tb hard drive and 8.0Gb of main memory. My laptop display is controlled by an Intel HD Graphics 4000 with driver version 9.17.10.2843 which is dated 08-21-2012. (I did discover that an updated driver has just been released from Intel in the last week, but that version is not available from Lenovo yet.)
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance for your  consideration.

    Randy,
    Just a thought here, and actually applying to a different program, Premiere Pro, and to nVidia cards, but perhaps you have similar controls in your AMD/ATI Catalyst console:
    Some users were having similar issues with screen redraw in PrPro, with nVidia graphics cards, with the latest nVidia driver. The cause was in the settings for 3D Acceleration. When those users set the 3D Acceleration to "Let program decide," (or very similar syntax), the redraw issues disappeared.
    You say that you have tried various settings, but I assume that you were working in the OS controls (BTW - Aero has caused some screen redraw issues, and in earlier OS's, users have just disabled that). Check out the setting in your Catalyst console, to see what you have available to you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I have a similar issue (looks about the same as the OP's screen-cap, and is really noticeable in the Program Monitor), but my problem is that I am still running XP-Pro SP3 on this laptop. My nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX card has the last driver from nVidia, but with my old OS, that driver is now about 2 years old, and will never be replaced. I am stuck, until I upgrade the OS to Win7, but will probably have to stay with 32-bit, since I can only fit 4GB RAM on the laptop's old MoBo. I have a new Win7-64 laptop, as a replacement, so all is not lost.

  • Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

  • Is there a way to speed up Premiere's screen refresh when editing?

    Hello all!
    I've been doing a lot of editing in the time-line.  I'm editing two concurrent video tracks, and three concurrent audio tracks.
    Whenever I split or delete portions of a clip, Premiere re-draws the tracks which takes several seconds (maybe 7 seconds or so?).
    I know it doesn't seem to be a lot of time, but I am making many edits and it slows me down.
    I know that if one "turns-off" the fancy graphics that display little video pictures and audio waveform displays that this screen refresh goes faster.
    But is there some I should be setting to optimize my computer specific to screen refresh? 
    I believe I have mucho RAM, 500 gig of "extra" disk space, a fast dual core processor and am running Windows XP.
    My project is located on a secondary drive.
    Would a fancy video card help speed up the screen refresh?
    Thanks!

    Hunt,
    (By the way, thanks to everyone for all the time that they're putting into this thread.  I didn't think that it
    would have evolved into such complexity ..)
    My Windows Hardware Acceleration was set "all the way to the right".
    I tried it "all the way to the left" and then, just one "notch" less than "all the way to the right".
    (Hope that makes sense!)
    It didn't fix the problem :-( 
    (Do I need to re-start Windows when I change this setting?  I did not do that ..) 
    Here is some more information:
    I think I had first noticed the video latency last August.  I had attributed it to a lack of hard drive space and
    installed a new internal hard drive (I have four 500G sata hard drives in my computer.)
    Also, I had installed Premiere 7 on my computer about two weeks ago.  (I have been using "3" to date.)
    Both 3 and 7 act the same way, so I'm thinking that the issue probably isn't caused by a corrupt installation of Premiere.
    I would suspect having both 3 and 7 installed concurrently as the culprit, but the issue existed long before installing 7.
    If it were a system RAM failure, I'd suspect that I'd see a far more catastrophic failure?
    And, when the video is playing "catch-up", I'm not seeing excessive drive activity, so I'm not sure
    how big a role that the hard drove(s) are playing in this anomaly.
    re: hard drives - the only set-up that I changed in the BIOS when installing hard drives was to turn on the
    SATA interface for the drives .. maybe I've missed an optimization?
    Maybe I need to go thru the "optimize your PC" list ..
    Last thought for now:  Is my Nividia GeForce video card adequate?  I've got another video card that I can try.
    Thanks copiously again!

  • How to change screen refresh rate in windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 iso image using dism

    sir when i install windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 then after the completion of setup when first time windows boots up then task bar is not shown and display is not clear and when i check under monitor settings the screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz and when i
    set the screen refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz, then everything is OK, plz tell me why this happens?
    why windows 7 sp1 and windows 8.1 automatically sets the screen refresh rate to 60Hertz instead of 75Hertz.
    how can i set screen refresh rate 75 Hertz permanently in iso image using DISM ?

    That is not a function of DISM. Resolution and refresh rate capabilities can be determined by multiple causes. Drivers are one, another is that most modern displays will report their capabilities to Windows.
    You can specify display settings with an answer file however:
    <Display>
    <HorizontalResolution>640</HorizontalResolution>
    <VerticalResolution>480</VerticalResolution>
    <ColorDepth>16</ColorDepth>
    <RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
    </Display>

  • HDD recovery from a partition on Portege M300

    Hello
    I reinstalled my win xp from another xp cd on a portege notebook m300 and did not burn an hdd recovery of the with the windows that thoshiba provided the computer with, its commen today that you burn your own backup instead of they sending you an original win xp cd. I want a backup cd/recovery cd now and I see that they partioned(or what its called) a seperate 2,5GB hd with the name "HDDRECOVERY".
    This resulted that my windows got installed on E: cause it was a 2,5GB partioned HDspace that windows called C: and I could only pick E: to install win xp to and I didnt want to erase the 2,5gb partioned space. I toughed that I somehow could access this 2,5gb HD file but it dosent show in "my conputer" only in the disk managment tools windows have. You cant do anything in this manegmant tool to get it to show in "my computer". I would like to access this space and burn this HDDRecoveryfile so I can get my propriate windows that followed when I bought the computer since the win xp serial that is supplied under this cumputer did not work with my new win xp cd.
    ps. How do you install windows on C: if the windows install program thinks C: is the 2,5gb partioned file? I dont want to delete it.

    Hello Andre
    The situation with Portege M300 is a little bit complicated but I will try to explain you. Portege M300 (I think just in Germany) is delivered without Recovery DVD and also without Tools & Utilities CD. Both of them can be created by user but only if unit is factory preinstalled. The factory preinstalled unit with factory image contains one tool called Recovery Disc Creator. Using this tool you can create both medias. Without this tool there is no way to make it.
    Unfortunately this tool you can not find on Toshiba download page. Because of that you can keep this partition on the HDD but it has no sense at all. You have your own preinstalled OS without Recovery Disc Creator.
    There are two solutions:
    1. You can format whole HDD, create own partitions and install own OS using all stuff you can find on Toshiba download page.
    2. Contact please authorized service partner in your country. They can try to order original recovery DVD for you. If this recovery DVD is not available the service partner can make factory settings again but with costs.
    Thats all I know about Portege M300 and preinstalled software. If you have more questions please write again.
    Good luck!

  • Selection screen refresh

    HI,
      my question here is related to selection screen refresh.
    in the program one parameter is defined like below.
    PARAMETERS :P_EINT LIKE YFR1FIT_SALE_REF-POST_CODE DEFAULT 'EINT' OBLIGATORY VALUE CHECK.
    In the table YFR1FIT_SALE_REF table the field POST_CODE the values were maintained at domain level. So, when i selected the F4 help on this field, all the domain values are appearing in the pop-up and also the validation of the data.
    Now i have changed that, instead of domain, i have given the check table for this field. Though i did this change at table level, it looks these changes are not reflecting in the program. The program still showing the values maintained at the domain level, but not from the check table.
    When i went to SE51 and given this program and 1000 as screen no, i noticed that the flow logic is not updated as per the latest changes. its still refering to the domain level values for validation..
    So, to overcome this problem, it looks i have to update the flow logic of the screen 1000, which is created by default.  Do you have any idea on how to correct this or refreshing the flow logic for the screen 1000.
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    Please try to activate the screen 1000 (you can go through SE80) once again. Ihave faced such problem earlier.
    But even if the problem persists check if you need to insert TABLES statement.. just dicing a though if it works.

  • Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

    Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
    Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
    into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
    As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed. 
    And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
    If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
    Verify/install the latest updates
    Repair your Office program

  • Screen refresh problem in kde4 with konsole, nvidia and compiz

    Hi,
    I have for the last month or so been experiencing really slow screen refreshes in konsole. What happens is that the text often doesn't get refreshed and you end up with the cursor not on the correct line, blocks all over the konsole window and blank areas of text. Minimising and maximising the konsole windows seems to refresh them as does using compiz's scale plugin. As I spend pretty much all day using konsole this has been really annoying. I have today however found a fix in this bug report:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … mments=all
    This was to go into ccsm, enable workaronds under utility and make sure "Force syncronization between X and GLX" is ticked.

  • Screen refresh problem with Windows 7

    Hello all,
    I've recently begun testing Oracle with Windows 7 on a new HP 2540p notebook computer. I've encountered a very strange issue so far. After logging into Oracle, and Windows switches to Windows Basic theme, I should be taken to the main Navigator screen. But instead, the screen is simply white. If I drag (or nudge) the title bar just a bit, the screen refreshes and I can see the menu items. Then if I click on something (or even use hotkeys - ALT+F to get the file menu, for example), I don't see anything happen. But if I move the window just a bit, the screen refreshes and I can see that it did actually take my input, it just didn't re-draw the screen. I'm wondering if this may be a graphics driver issue (I do have the latest driver for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD adapter), or if someone could point me toward a resolution to this problem. Any help is much appreciated.

    Dear All,
    Same problem of REFRESH PROBLEM also faced by but only a single and specific Windows 7 client.
    if you have resolved the issue , so please share with us.
    Thanks

  • Satellite M55-s3315: Screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz?!

    I have bought Toshiba m55-s3315 analog m50-s.... with intel 910 built-in, shared dynamic 128 mb memory; screen - 14.0" WXGA widescreen display with Toshiba TruBrite . Only refresh rate i get is 60 Hertz. I have updated intel chip software and toshiba also ... I would like to know is it possible to get more than 60 Hertz. The only way is to get 85 Hertz is to add extarnal monitor. I there oportinity to get at least 75 Hertz screen refresh rate ??? It was possible with my old HP Pavilion ze 5000.
    May be someone could explain me??
    Thank in advance!!!

    Hi
    I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz. I have two of them. On Tecra M1 is fixed and on Satellite 1900 not. I have tested it and there is no difference if the refresh rate is changed.
    The TFT technology is much better than on usual monitors where the display flickering is visible on lower refresh rate. On display you will not see any flickering. In my opinion there is no reason for panic.
    Enjoy the life!!!

  • MacBook Pro Screen Refresh Rate

    I got one of the new santa rosa 15-inch macbook pros with a glossy display about 3 weeks ago. When i play games or look at display settings, i can't change the screen refresh rate. For example, in battlefield 1942, in the display settings i get a rate of "0"for my built in display! Not "60", or "75", just "0". Also, in the display preferences tab in system preferences, there in no refresh rate to set, but all other displays i connect have a refresh rate setting. How to i change the refresh rate of my built in display?

    as far as i'm aware, LCD displays do not have a refresh rate per-se
    the reason is because refresh rate is a term applied to Cathode Ray Tube monitors (read that as your standard computer monitor, not an LCD one) and in particular the refresh rate is how many times the gun in the monitor rasters a horizontal line onto the screen in one second.
    with LCD displays, because they don't use a gun and are not based on CRT technology, they don't have a refresh rate
    i could be wrong though, but i'm sure i read somewhere about this

    SoftwarePros appear to be a independent training and support company, claiming to offer tutorials and such for many software packages. The only relationship I can see that they would have with Apple is that if you or I were to start up our own support company; i.e. none. If they are distributing iTunes, or any other Apple software, then they are almost certainly violating Apple's copyrights and licensing.
    They're probably a scam, providing for a fee information and software that you can find for free elsewhere. And I'd strongly suspect them of selling email addresses to spammers. That's not to mention the risk of giving them your credit card information.
    I highly recommend that you run, not walk, away from these people.
