Screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720

Hello.
I just got my new iMac 27 3.2 Mhz
The screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720.
I reinitialized the PR Ram without success.
No other option is displayed in the preferences. someone has already this problem ?

Before taking the Mac to an Apple Store, you could call AppleCare who may be able to offer a solution, or organise an exchange of machine, that would hopefully save you the trouble of carting it around.

Hi,
What is the model/product of your HP Pavilion 15 ? 1366 X 768 probably is the right number. Please use the following tool to check:

2011 MBP having limited screen resolution in Bootcamp

Hi All,
Running Bootcamp 4.0 with Win7. Bootcamp software is installed, drivers seem to be in place.
The screen has a limited resolution though, not the full 1440 x900 that it should have. Clicking on screen resolution only shows the one option for resolution.
Any thoughts?
A few other data points, loaded the bootcamp partion up in Parallels and I get the full resolution experience.

That's odd. Which model are you running? 13", 15", or 17"?
It's entirely possible that the Intel (13") or AMD (15"/17") video driver might not have installed properly. Check the Device Manager (Start > right-click Computer > Manage, then click Device Manager at left of the resulting window). If under Display Adapters you see "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", or a "Video Controller" under Other Devices, then this may be your issue.
Running Boot Camp Setup a second time should fix this, but it's also possible that the driver CD did not burn properly and therefore the folders that contain drivers might be corrupted enough so as not to have been read during Setup. In this case, your best bet is to burn the CD again--to a known-good CD-R.

Screen Resolution - want to go to 1280 x 1024 from 1024 x 768 !!

Is there any way of increasing the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 from 1024 x 768 ??

Unsupported screen resolutions generally are not possible on internal
displays; some screen spanning software (unsupported by Apple?)
and ResX third-party patches may allow you to use those higher res-
olutions on an external display. But since they are not supported
officially by Apple, any hack to your system software/hardware which
could result in hardware damages to the computer will not be covered
under any Apple warranties on your computer.
So, were you trying to change the internal display's resolution beyond
specs or try running a different res external display?!
Best of luck in your experimentation.

Question: T400 LED Screen Resolution Limited to WXGA?

Lenovo's website (US) is now only showing the following screen options for the T400:
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera
14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight, Camera [add $30.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $50.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight [add $120.00]
14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight, Camera [add $150.00]
Does anyone know why the LED screen is limited to WXGA and not WXGA+?
I'm looking to replace my T40p, and I'm not willing to go down in screen resolution.
Thanks,

There are 14.1 WXGA+ LED models available right now. Check the ThinkPad Reference (tabook) and search. That option is just apparently not available in CTO (Custom To Order) systems from the Lenovo Store at the moment.
This brings up the question: How can you order a pre-configured ThinkPad like those listed in tabook? Do you have to buy from a reseller? Why can't you order one from the online Lenovo Store? (Maybe you can, but it's not obvious to me how to do it, at least for the U.S. online store...)

AIC 1280 X 720 to MPEG-2 Looks like crud using imovie | buy compressor?

Repost from "compressor" group.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2075563&tstart=0
I am a complete newbie to the video editing and compression world. Please forgive me and thank you in advance for your advice.
Here is the low down. I am using Final Cut express. I edited a 4 hours training video with screenshots and some screen capture. This is training video on how to use some technical database software so the screen captures are movies of my computer screen captured with iShowU. My FCE sequence and screen capture video was recorded using Apple Intermediate Codec 1280 x 720. When I try to use imovie to burn the footage to a DVD everything looks very grainy. It looks like crud. When I export to Quicktime in the AIC format looks great.
Since I am a newbie, I know I probably should have recorded my screen captures in another codec and not 1280 x 720. Hindsight is 20/20.
I have noticed when I export from Final Cut Express to H.264 it even starts too look grainy. I really need to actually get in on several DVDs in the MPEG-2 format.
So my questions for you is:
Do you think this is something that Compressor will handle? Can I take 1280X720 AIC and use compressor to encode to MPEG-2 and not get grainy resolution? I think compressor can crop instead of scale which I think is what iMovie is doing when it encodes from AIC to MPEG-2. I was using the iMove professional encoding and even tested it with a 30 second clip and it looks like crud. I know compressor offers more fined grained control. I think the grainy MPEG-2 results are from iMovie trying to scale from 1280x720 to 720x480. (I think)
Or should I go back and create a new sequence and re-record all my screen captures in a better resolution that is DVD/MPEG-2 compatible.
I am not sure if this is a screw up in my choice of capture resolution or if it is a limitation of imovie. I am just hesitant to drop the coin on FCP if this is not going to work. Thanks again

No, I don't think Compressor can handle it. MPEG-2 is too heavily compressed to handle compressing screen captures. It's always going to look awful. The limitation is in the DVD format and MPEG-2. Most training DVDs for software are not made using MPEG-2, but using computer formats with a runtime player for playback on a computer monitor not a TV set.

Can I paste a 1280 x 720 slide into a 1680 x 1050 presentation?

I'd like to be able to paste samples of various shows in various resolutions into a single presentation without hyperlinks. I'm presenting on my 17", so I'd like to use the full-screen resolution, 1680 x 1050. I'd like to paste a 1280 x 720 show into it, but Keynote automatically resizes every frame, and everything scales inaccurately do to the difference in aspect ratios. I don't want to have to rebuild every slide. I know I can copy the contents of each slide and paste it onto a blank slide in the final presentation, and the animations copy over, but the transitions get lost. Is there a way to either import the file or copy the complete slide show from the navigator and maintain the integrity of the original?

Thanks -
I hadn't thought of 1680 x 945, I'll try that next go-round.
In the meantime, I created a special frame inside my target presentation, and just copied and pasted the elements I wanted from the smaller slides into the frame in a slide-by-slide process. It actually worked perfectly, and allowed me to highlight the samples in a worthwhile way.
But thanks for the hint! It'll come in handy soon.

Screen Resolution S1

I can't see that well so I need to lower the screen resolution on S1. When I go to Display Settings I get the resolution 1920 x 1080 as the recommended one. I can now change the resolution to the lower ones, but sadly the lower resolution options corresponding to 1920 x 1080 screen are not available.
These options would correspond to the 1920:1080 aspect ration:
1600 x 900 - Available
1366 x 768 - Available
1280 x 720 - NOT Available
1024 x 576 - NOT Available
Is there any reason for that?

Client Screen Resolution

Hello-
I think there may not be a way around this but i figured Id ask.
I have a 13" MacBook, my fiance a 24" iMac.
Trying to use Illustrator on my baby screen is no fun at all. I dont have the right hardware to try to connect my mac to his and use his screen as a monitor (could I even do that?)
I was looking for and option without having to buy a monitor.
I installed ARP (3.3) on his computer and connected to mine, looks great and is not really a delay that I thought there would be.
But I didn't think that the screen resolution would be limited to what the laptop can handle 1280 x 800
any trick or work around to be able to view my screen on the laptop as large as his monitor (1920 x 1200)
Hope I explained well.
Thanks!
Jennifer

Toggling the "fit screen in window" button will change between a scaled and a scrolling view of the target machine.

Screen resolution problem - HP computer and LED Cinema Display

I just purchased an HP Envy Phoenix H9-1330 with Windows 8, and I connected it to my 27" Mac LED Cinema Display, but the resolution is horrible. The highest option in the screen resolution menu is 1280 x 720, and I'm getting the error message "Your resolution is lower than 1024 x 768. Some items might not fit and apps might not open". How do I fix this? What kind of issue is this (Windows 8? Graphics card? HP can't support my monitor? etc...)?
I just bought another brand new computer, but not an HP, with Windows 8 and I have no problems with the resolution - it looks absolutely beautiful. I want to use my monitor with my HP desktop though.
Thanks for any help

Still haven't figured it out....
BUT I did notice that, on the back of the computer, there are 2 additional DVI connections that are covered with a black cover and screwed in (and they say 'please do not remove'.... I'm asuming it's because they aren't connected to anything? Or maybe they aren't connected to the graphics card?). Is it possible that just my DVI connection is wrong, and I'll need to connect to one of these covered-up DVI inputs instead? But why are they covered up? Do I need to take it in so they can be connected to the graphics card?? Help! I don't want to return this computer, but I will have to if I can't get the resolution fixed.

Increase the screen resolution

Hi All
Is it possible to increase the screen resolution in BDC?
My Max screen resolution is 1280 X 800 and my BDC screen operates at this resolution
I want to increase it to 1400 X 1080
Is there a way i can pass these values?
Thanks in advance

Hi:
The 15.6" screen size model only has a display resolution of 1366x768 according to the product specs at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04031365&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
There are no product specs listed for the 17" screen model but since they end in the same 111tx, I assume that the 17" display has the same resolution as well.
Nothing you can do to change that. It is a limitation of the display panel hardware.

Why is 960 x 720 really 1280 x 720???

Really confused at this second. I shot on the HVX200, 720P... which frame size is 960 x 720... but then why when you output or look at the actual file it states that its size is 1280 x 720?
Anyone?

If you'd read the Terms of use, you would realize this is a site for supporting/problem solving technical issues with FCP. It is not intended to offer instruction in video 101.
Lyndia.com and ken stone's site offer a number of tutorials and other support mechanisms that you may find enlightening.
Good luck.

fwiw - anamorphic originally refered to lenses that compressed the image horizontally but not vertically so that there was a non-linear relationship between the image in real life and what was recorded on film. The film had a 4:3 aspect ratio but, by using a lens that compressed the horizontal when recording and using the reciprocal lens when projecting, one could record and play back much wider aspect ratios.
What is relevant about that bit of history is that anamorphic has come to mean the recording of pixels that are wider than they are tall, with the result the 960 horizontal resolution pixels take up a 1280 space. Of course, you know video has always used a non-square pixel. In terms of Standard definition, it has been narrower than tall, eg DV SD is 720x480, which has a square pixel equivalent of 640x480 (a 4:3 ratio). Anamorphic 16:9 means the pixels are wider than tall. The specific width varies with the codec. It is a way to save bandwidth and to get more out of a limited format.

Mac mini Core Duo in 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz on Mitsubishi WD-52525

So I picked up a Mac mini Core Duo last night (my first Mac by the way, and so far I'm very excited about it) with the intention of using it as a home theater computer (HTPC). I intend to use my Mitsubishi WD-52525 DLP as the display device, and, for now, using RCA inputs on my Pioneer VSX-07TX for sound.
This thread is for the video problem. I cannot seem to get the Mac mini to display a proper 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal on my display. I'm using the included DVI-VGA adapter and the WD-52525's VGA input (named "PC") which is supposed to be capable of receving a 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal.
When I did this through DisplayConfigX I got a beautiful picture that was horribly overscanned. Trying to tinker with the DisplayConfigX settings yeilded less than stellar results, and it seems as if some of the options to fix back porch (bottom overscan) are "buggy" according to the software developer.
So, my question is, how can I get the Mac mini to output a 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz signal that will fill the available screen on the WD-52525?
Guidance appreciated.

I too took the plunge and recently purchased a Mac Mini Core Duo. I have it hooked up to my Mitsuhishi WD-52825 (the one with the built-in DVR). The mini is hooked up through the HDMI connection on the 825 using a HDMI/DVI converter. Thus far, I have had success at least viewing the desktop on the TV, but I either have overscan or less than a full screen picture when "overscan" is unchecked in the options tab of the display panel.
I have also tried Displayconfigx, which terrible results. Everytime I change the resolution, and then reboot, my screen is filled with skewed images, which I have to change from my iMac using a VNC client/server setup.
Hopefully I'll eventually find the correct setting for the Mac Mini because there doesn't seem to be much I can do on the Mitsubishi end using a DVI-HDMI connection. Any suggestions?

DB does not look the same in different screen resolutions

Hi All -
I have built my dashboards using the Windows screen resolution 1024 x 768, and exported the dashboard into powerpoint. With this resolution the dashboard looks normal. I then changed my Windows screen resolution to 1280 x 1024, opened the ppt slideshow and my X-axis labels are being cut off. The labels are written vertically (ex: 06/09/09).
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Thanks!
Tracy

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

Itunes 11 keeps changing my screen resolution

I too am an itunes 11 sufferer! Everytime I run it, it alters my screen resolution - I'd happily upgrade to the older, better, bug-free version that I was running before,but am afraid i might lose my library of music.
In trying to find a solution online i can't believe the number of issues with Itunes 11 that have cropped up. Does Apple really despise its customers so much and hold them in such low regard that they could bring out such a flawed piece of software?
Does anyone have a solution to having to reset the screen resolution everytime I use iTunes?
Thanks,

You can resize any window by grabbing (click-hold) the three little lines in the bottom right corner and move it up or down, right or left.
Is this what you mean?
BTW... the resolution of 1280 x 800 is what you would normally set your screen to.

Screen resolution is limited to 1280 x 720
