Screen resolution for 13' MBP for Parallels?

anyone happen have any good ideas for settings for screen resolution of my windows virtual machine on my 13" macbook pro? I'm trying 1440 x 1020 and everything seems stretched and rasterized.
TIA.

The 13" MBP has a maximum screen resolution of 1280 x 800. Nothing can push it higher, because that's how many physical pixels the screen contains.

  • 24"iMAC optimal screen resolution for photo processing

    I have a 24" iMAC (matte) and do mostly photo editing. What is the optimal screen resolution for photo processing work?
    thanks

    All Screens are 72 dpi (dots per inch- in reference to pixels) no matter what screen resolution you use. The only difference the screen resolution will make is the size of the photo when you are viewing. Higher resolution means the picture will take up less space in you work area, but you will most likely have to zoom in to edit finer areas. Lower resolution will cause the picture you are editing to take up more of your work space and to see multiple photos side by side you will have to zoom out of fron the photos. So, really the choice is up to you.
    When creating the original document, this is where you need to monitor the dpi. The higher the dpi, the clearer your photo will look in print. A high dpi also means more disk space is being taken up by the photo. Generally a good dpi for print is 300 dpi. Anything that is only purposed for a screen based project (i.e. internet logos) should be saved at 72 dpi. Why use disk space and cause your pages to take longer load if no one will be able to tell the difference on screen between 72 and 300 dpi?
    Hope this helps!

  • Resizing  Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

    Hello team,
    Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!

    LCD panels must be used at their native resolution. Whatever it is for you monitor is what you must set it to.

  • How we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC

    how we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC. can you give the code or how we have to set it

    Hi,
    You need to use the CTU_PARAM options with the call transaction method.This is used if you would like to do a commit work once call trnasaction is done. This has also got very important property, for example if your Screen resolution is different from others then the screen (Application) will be different that is you'll be having say 5 lines in your screen where as your friend will be having 8 or 10 so your program might fail in this case. If you set variable DEFSIZE as 'X' it will always use the default screen size and hence avoids error.
    Use CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' OPTIONS FROM w_ctu_params.( type CTU_PARAMS)
    This structure contains the follwing.
    DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition)
    UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
    CATTMODE: CATT mode (controls a CATT)
    CATT mode can have the following values:
    ' ' No CATT active
    'N' CATT without single-screen control
    'A' CATT with single-screen control
    DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
    RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
    NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
    The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
    'X' Yes
    This might help u in better understanding...

  • 11gr1 - Handling different screen resolutions for an enterprise app.

    Hi,
    We are developing an enterprise application that will be deployed at different clients with different hardware.
    We are confused about how to handle different screen resolutions and wonder how others are handling this.
    We have some fixed size areas in our screens and liquid areas for content that may expand. The problem is say that you have a table with 6 columns. This table will be rendered nicely at 1280X800 but not at 1650X1050 or 800X600.
    At higher resolutions we will either end up having some blank space or expand one of the columns of the table , but can't expand every column proportionally and this will look ugly.
    For lower resolutions same problem in a different way will come into picture, we will not able to resize the columns and end up with scroll bars etc ...
    What is the best practice with handling different screen resolutions for components like table,panel splitter etc ?
    Thanks

    Hi Muhammed,
    I don't think that any better solution exists, you already use liquid layouts and define widths & heights with percentages etc. In my opinion using blank column at the end of table columns makes table's looking better. Additionally creating custom skin for table and defining column heights & widths with % or em may help you to stretch columns?

  • Optimum Screen Resolution for Slides

    I need to create a few slides which will be displayed full-screen. Since
    there's no way to know the resolution of the monitors of the many
    participants, how do I choose the resolution of my slides? Are they
    downsampled in any way by the Adobe server when I upload them? My screen
    resolution is 1920 x 1200 but I suspect a slide built to that resolution
    would create problems for viewers on smaller monitors. Am I right? Is
    there an optimum screen resolution for slides viewed during a Connect Pro
    session?

    Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 or you can pay for an upgrade  to 1680 x 1050(current models).

  • Proper screen resolution for optimum work with SD

    A couple of questions.
    I've just set up a 27" IMAC with FC. What's surprised me is the poor quality of the SD image I'm getting in the Viewer and Canvas. Two years ago I edited another SD project on a system using two 24" Apple monitors, and at that time we were all amazed by the quality of the image. Hardly looked like SD at all. We were even impressed when we looked at the work on the full screen. Yet that's not what I'm getting now.
    I'm just wondering if there as been a change in the most recent version of FC. (Mine is FCP 7;I don't know what version I was using two years ago on that other project.) I looked in the manual and under "Viewer/Pop-Up Menu" I read: "+If the Viewer is scaled to anything other than 100 percent and you're displaying a DV clip, only one field is shown during playback or while scrubbing through the clip+." Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is? Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
    As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
    Second question.
    After reading about this loss of one field when the DV image is other than 100% I thought I'd set the Viewer pop-up menu to 100% rather than "Fit Window". Problem here, of course is that my image is now very small - a diagonal of only 7 inches. To try and deal with this I've played around with the IMAC screen resolution and when I change it from 2560x1440 to 1920X1080 I can get a 100% two field image with a 9 1/2 inch diagonal. Not great but better.
    Does anyone think this is a recommended way to go? I'm always confused about how a monitor is reproducing a format that is 525 TV lines so the issue of the optimal resolution on my screen is confusing me. (I tried setting the screen to 1600X900. Now my 100% image is 11 1/2 inches but there is a very noticeable drop in image quality.)
    Thanks for any help or advice I can receive.
    John

    Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is?
    Yes. Perhaps you old system had the Viewer and Canvas windows set to 100% and your new one doesn't.
    Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
    Not likely.
    As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
    BINGO!
    For best results, always use a properly calibrated, external TV monitor for critical viewing when editing.

  • Minimum Screen Resolution for Premiere Pro CS3

    I want to be able to run the package on my laptop when out and about, but the
    screen resolution is only 1024 x 768. Can anyone tell me whether it will run under said resolution, but with a crowded screen or will it simply not work. I have not yet bought the product yet, and this could be a deciding factor.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    That's what I am running and it has been awesome over the last two days with the only exception being a "Desktop Display Mode has been reset because the video card returned an error." I thought I had this problem licked until I got it again this afternoon and now it won't go away.

  • Minimum screen resolution for safari 3 (mac)

    Hi i recently updated to 10.4.11 and noticed that safari does not work corretly any more if you use screen resolutions below ??? X 768.
    In my case my girlfriend is very shortsite, nearly blind, and she used 1024x640 on our 24" iMac. Now after we updated to 10.4.11 safari only display "garbage" in this screen resolution.
    so she currently uses firefox... is there any way to make safari work again?

    i have an update on this problem. i tried to recreate this symptom on my macbook pro 1.8 GHZ with 10.5.1. i was able to run safari using 1024x640. so i thought it is worth a try doing some housekeeping on my iMac, i used ONYX to clean the system and after this checked the HDD and permissions using the installation DVD. No change. So i reinstalled combo update for 10.4.11 and still the same behaviour. Any help is highly welcome.

  • Screen resolution for OEL 5 on VMware Server 1.0.3

    Hi
    I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 in a VMware Server 1.0.3 virtual machine.
    The problem is that I can only run the virtual machine in 800x600 or 640x480.
    Anyone who has tried this and made it work?
    I have VMWare Tools installed and I have run the vmware-tools-config, or what its called.
    When choosing 1024x768 as the screen resolution. Linux is unable to start the Xserver. Sorry, but I don't have the error message when writing this.
    The Virtual Machine i setup as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 server.
