Screen resolution of 2nd monitor

Dear all,
i am working on an application which uses 2 monitors.
i have a VI which measures the screen resolution of the screen.
i want to know the screen resolution of the 2nd monitor.
how can i get that ?
thanks,
ritesh

Go to Solution.

You could use an app property node, set to display -> AllMonitors. Index this with an array and unbundle the result. This will give info on the bounds of the screen. By subtracting left from right and top from bottom,. you can get the size of the screen.

  • Screen resolution with 2 monitors

    I have an MIS G4MX460-VTP video card instaled on Windows 2000 and two monitors connected to the card. I would like to know how to ajust the screen resolution on each monitor seperately. Presently, when I am openning the display properties of Windows I am seeing only one monitor even if the two monitors are connected. Thanks for your help.

    I have a g-force 4200 128 meg card.
    Windows 2000. I have a 21" and a 17" monitor and it spreads the entire desktop across 2 monitors but the resolution stays the same on both. Obviously a 17 to a 21, either the 17 wont carry the resolution i want for the 21 and shut down or everything is very large on the 21.
    I also cant get it to behave correctly with monitor placement. My 17 is on the left and 21 on the right , but no matter what i do, software settings or physically switching the vga ports it treats the 17 as if it was on the right. these issues are regardless which is set as the primary or secondary, and my 17 is never listed by name anywhere as the 21 is . it seems to be considering that i have to have the same size and type monitor.  :O

  • IMac does not detect correct resolution of 2nd monitor

    I am attempting to use my 42" LG HDTV as a 2nd monitor for my iMac. The native resolution for the LG is 1920x1080 but the iMac only allows me to select up to 1600x1200. It seems to think that the LG is a smaller screen than the iMac as well and my images are stretched. The monitors are also disproportionate, for example, if I expand a window so that there is an inch of space on all 4 sides on my iMac it will overwhelm the screen of the larger monitor so that only about 2/3 of the window is visible. It's as if the iMac thinks that the LG is in 4:3 display mode.
    I am using a mini-DVI to VGA adapter. How can I get full resolution from my 2nd monitor?

    The (analog) VGA connection is limiting your resolution. Idealy a (digital) Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable should allow the full resolution in Extended Desktop Mode.

  • Screen Resolution for ALL monitors

    IN FLASH MX, I set my screen resolution to 760px (width) x
    560px (height). My monitor screen resolution is 1152x864. It looks
    fine at that monitor screen resolution. HOWEVER, the website looks
    h-u-g-e on monitor screen resolution 1024x768. It looks elongated
    on monitor screen resolution 1280x768.
    So I am wondering what is the best screen resolution to set
    when in Flash? that will look good on all monitor screen
    resolutions?

    I have four files that show my settings plus another file
    that shows the code that comes automatically. Not sure how to
    attach the files with this reply.
    My monitor setting is 1152x864. My movie setting is 760x560.
    I am not sure what you mean by embedding in HTML. I thought
    that came automatically.
    My movie might be 760x560 but on a monitor screen 1024x768,
    my site is huge because the screen is smaller. And on a monitor
    screen 1280x768, my site becomes elongated.
    I am working solely in Flash, no Dreamweaver. I thought the
    target to HTML is automatic.
    I need to solve the situation of being huge on 1024x768 and
    the situation of becoming elongated on 1280x768.

  • Incorrect display resolution on 2nd monitor

    Today I purchased a brand new Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro to replace my 2.5 year old MBP. My old laptop would connect to my Dell 30inch Monitor and get a screen resolution on it at 2560 x 1600. I used my old laptop to migrate to my new laptop, so they're using the same software; but I can only get 1280 x 800 with my new laptop using the mini display port adapter going to DVI.
    I've been reading the advice on some of the other forums, but none of the symptoms are exactly like this that I can see. This doesn't seem to be because of 10.5.5 because I can switch at will between using the 30inch display on my old and new MBPros and it will work with the old, but not with the new. I've tried deleting the windowserver.plist and resetting the SMC, but no luck.
    I'm out of ideas, but I'd love to get to use my new Mac with my monitor.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Are you using the same DVI cable to connect to the old and new MacBook Pro? Most DVI cables are single-link, even though they may have dual-link DVI connectors. You need a dual-link DVI cable for resolutions greater than 1920 x 1200.
    I used my old laptop to migrate to my new laptop, so they're using the same software
    Do you mean you used Migration Assistant, or did you copy the entire operating system? Copying a system from an older computer is not recommended since its drivers may not match those needed for the latest MacBook Pro.
    Is it the latest MacBook Pro, with the Mini DisplayPort? That needs a special Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter, which is not yet available, to run a 30" display.
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw>
    Note the USB plug used to power it. The standard Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter won't give you the full resolution

    I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
    My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
    I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
    I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
    Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

  • Full Screen Preview in 2nd Monitor

    On a dual display system, is there any way to view the video preview of DCP, full screen on your other monitor ?

    David:
    Of course!
    Open your Project & try View > Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full screen.
    This, of course, is spelled out in the manual that came with the program. Now, I'm not one of those dudes who gets all mad when someone asks a question that can be answered with a manual read, but just so you know, you'll learn so much about the potential of FCP if you do. Sure, it takes some commitment, but man, you'll have no regrets.

  • Login screen wallpaper on 2nd monitor

    I have 2 monitors connected to my Mac. When I have the login screen up, only one monitor displays anything (grey effect background, login box, etc). The second monitor just appears bright white. Is there a way to have the second monitor display something, even if it's only the same wallpaper as the login monitor? This isn't really a showstopper, more of an annoyance.

    Looks as though this very minor issue has been sorted out in the 10.7.2 update. Thanks Apple.

  • Full screen video on 2nd monitor blacks out 1st screen

    When I play a video full screen on a second monitor, iTunes blacks out the first screen and I can't see the Windows desktop. Is there a way around this?

    I'm having this problem as well. Apparnetly the world thinks this is acceptable behavior. I do not. I'm trying to work and feed video from iTunes to an HDTV next to me. Why in the world would I want my 3 other monitors to blank???
    Tripply amazing is that it's worked this way for quite a long time. Apple isn't fixing it, so they must think this is a great FEATURE.

  • Screen resolution on 2. monitor - G580

    Have Lenovo G580 with max resolution on the PC screen of 1366 X 768. Second monitor (Acer S201HL) has max resolution of 1600 X 900. Can only get 1024 X 768. No option higher or lower. Would at least like 1366 x 768 ?? Have added the higher resolution to the Intel graphics adapter but it will not become effective. Maybe I look at it the wrong way but would appreciate any comments.
    Moderator comment: Subject edited. Model added for clarity.

    Hi there, are you using the external monitor port or the S-Video?? Unfortunately if you use the S-Video port you cannot fit the entire desktop to the TV because it's technically impossible (without dropping lines).
    TV has less number of lines than a computer monitor: PAL = 576 visible lines, NTSC = 480 visible lines unless you can switch to 640x480 mode 800x600 is the best you can use to display an image onto the TV.

  • Screen resolution on second monitor incorrect

    Hi, I just got a new 2015 MacBook Air 13".
    I use a 20" VGA second monitor at work with my 17" MacBook Pro with no problems. I also use three different projectors in the building with my 17" MBP with no problem.
    My new MBAir, however, will not use all the pixels available on any of these displays.
    For example, on the second VGA monitor I've used for years with my 17", the MBAir displays only in a small box in the center with a few inches of black border around the display. Of course, if I set the monitor to "scale up", the screen is filled but with a pretty blurry pixelated display. Pretty unpleasant to use.
    All of the projectors display at low resolution, too.
    It's important to note that the 2015 MBAir should be able to handle the 20" VGA monitor with no problem. This MBAir has been shown to be able to drive a 4k display.
    I can't increase the resolution under display settings. It just isn't an option. There are only two options and the one I described above (with the huge black border) is the maximum.
    I've tried detecting displays repeatedly but it does absolutely nothing.
    What could the problem be? I may have to return this machine if it can't be fixed.

    As far as I know, that resolution isn't available through VGA. I thought you said your machine has dual DVI out... Does your second monitor not have a DVI input? If it does, why aren't you using it?

  • Satellite A660-1FM - Max. screen resolution of external monitor

    Hi All,
    This may be (probably) an easy questions to answer but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my Samsung Syncmaster (forgotten model) external screen. I grabbed an HDMI->DVI-D adapter, and all is well, but here is my question:
    The toshiba specs page for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows an external resolution capability of:
    Max Resolution : 2,048 x 1,536
    Max Refresh Rate : 100 Hz
    Non-interlaced resolution with max refresh rate : 1,920 x 1,200
    But I get what I call standard HDMI resolution (not surprising I guess) when connected HDMI->DVI-D to my external monitor. I have previously run this monitor on my desktop at much high resolutions than 1080P, so the monitor is capable.
    Just wondered what I'm missing here, or is it a case of the graphics card spec is higher than is possible to output from the laptop ?
    Thanks for any help
    Andy

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    As to native resolution of the external monitor - unsure how to find this - but it was running a with a lot higher res when it was connected to my old desktop (which has died and been replaced by this laptop)
    R/E the adapter - My Samsung Syncmaster monitor has a DVI-D cable sticking out the back of it, so I needed to connect that to my laptop - either vga-> DVI-D or HDMI-DVI-D to make use of it.
    The external monitor is currently running at 1680 x 1050 using the laptop HDMI output -> HDMI-DVI-D adapater -> external monitor.
    Before my desktop died, using the same external monitor I was running at 1680 x (guessing a bit here) 2048 ish (really sure I had a greater y res, this 1050 lark is really squishy).. in any case, the Y resolution was much much much better than 1050.
    But, according to the specification for this laptop, it can output 2048 x 1536 to an external device (How, the HDMI and VGA outptu cannot go that high right ?)
    So, I'm trying to figure out how to get the resolution on the laptop spec onto my external monitior, which has more than handled this resolution before my old gaming desktop died.
    Thanks again for the reply - I hope this makes my question clearer.
    Cheers

  • Top screen resolution for external monitor

    I have a bit of a dumb question.  I have a Lenovo T410i, with integrated graphics.  Is the top resolution it can drive an external monitor at 1440 x 900?
    And does that mean there is no point in getting a monitor bigger than 19inches?
    Many thanks,
    Joe
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    well that really depends on what uses you have in mind. What are you going to use your external monitor for?
    Personally, when i use laptop as a desktop replacement, i would usually use 2 external LCDs, usually at least 19 inch in size. Most likely i would be using a 24 inch and a 20 to 22 inch.
    Currently, the 22 inch and 23 inch format have the best pricing, and most people whom purchase these monitors would take that into consideration.
    The intel GPU is fine for driving these LCDs, i use my T400 to drive a 24 inch and a 22 inch.

  • Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

    Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
    display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
    connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
    on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
    I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
    I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
    should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
    then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
    laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
    displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
    to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
    accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
    nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
    the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
    acceptable. Thanx!

    Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
    believe I would be the first to come across this issue.
