Screen tearing at 1920*1080 resolution on samsung tv.

Today I bought a display port to vga adapter so I could use my macbook pro in collaboration with my tv. I find that just moving the cursor or anything causes vsync like related screen tearing. Is there anyway I could stop this from happening?
The specs of my macbook pro are:
13", mid 2010
2.66ghz Intel core 2 duo
6gb 1067mhz DDR3
Nvidia Geforce 320m 256mb
OSX 10.9.1

Hi-
If the graphics card firmware does not have resolution support needed for a particular monitor, it won't show as an option.
You can create new, custom resolutions using SwitchResX;
http://www.madrau.com/whatis/whatis.html
I've seen screen shots online where users have the option to choose 1080i or 1080p. This would be ideal!
The difference between 1080p vs 1080i is not something to worry about.

Connecting Lenovo T400 to Samsung BX2240, 1920*1080 resolution

Hello!
I have a Lenovo T400, and am planning to get an external monitor to connect to the thinkpad. I am thinking of getting the 21.5" Samsung BX2240, with a 1920*1080 resolution. Would this monitor be compatible with the Lenovo T400, given that it only has a VGA port? I'm planning to get this from Ebay. So, I don't really know where else I could possibly ask this question, as I can't seem to find this monitor in the shops. Many thanks.

Thanks Lead_Org! That's what I was worried about, possibly fuzzy/blurry images. So, an advanced mini dock should solve the problem?
Will this one work with the T400?

Thanks!

Garbage in HP splash screen on boot at ultrawide resolution

The system is HP Envy 700-215xt, ROM Family 2AF7, latest BIOS 80.16 Rev. A installed, also latest Intel video driver (though intel video driver has no part in the problem). The graphics is integrated Intel HD4600 in i7-4770 CPU, video out through DVI port on the mainboard.
The problem appears when connected to an ultrawide display with UW-UXGA resolution 2560x1080, model is LG 29MA73V.
On boot-up (from cold or a reboot all the same), when the HP logo is shown, the bottom part of the screen is filled with garbage, various color dots. The resolution at this point is 2560x1080 and is detected correctly, checked by monitor info, and also as the HP logo is round and not strethed as it would be at 1920x1080 resolution.
The number of colored lines appears to be 270, which coincides with (2560*1080-1920*1080)/2560. My understanding of the cause of this is that when drawing this splash screen BIOS fills with black only the area of 1920*1080=2073600 pixels, but since the resolution is detected correctly, to the screen goes 2560*1080=2764800 pixels, hence (2764800-2073600)/2560=270 lines of garbage.
I think this needs a BIOS fix, which would be quite easy to do.

3rd Party Display Resolution Issue - Mid 2011 iMac 27inch Mavericks- iMac wont allow max resolution of Samsung SyncMaster SA850

Hi Guys,
I just updated my 27 inch iMac to Mavericks and can't get my third party 27inch Samsung screen to run at maximum resolution. Even when using the "Alt" Click and select Scale shortcut I cant display the 2560 x 1440 resolution the screen is capable of.
I've called apple support and they couldn't rectify the issue nor could samsung. I've even tried the monitor in another iMac updated to mavericks and have the same issue.
Im connecting using a mini display port to DVI cable through my thunderbolt port.
My machine is Mid 2011 27inch iMac 3.1ghz core i5 with AMD Radeon HD graphics card upgraded to Mavericks
Monitor is brand new 27 Samsung SyncMaster SA850. I was able to get it to work at max resolution on a Windows 7 PC.
Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of returning the screen, hopefully Samsung will take it back.

The standard > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter only supports 24" monitor resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
For a larger monitor you need either a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
or perhaps a simple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable if your monitor supports DisplayPort input.

From 1920-1080 to 640-480 back to 1920-1080

I'm making a video in a game and select my screens resolution 1920-1080, but it converts it to 640-480 avi, and I want to upload to Youtube using my screens resolution for a widescreen video. I have Creative Cloud and use Premiere to make the video. I'm not terribly good at this, but I can't find anything that does that in export and actually works. When I look at the video in mediaplayer it's still 3:4. Can I get this video to look good on youtube with 16:9, I see others does it with the same programs I'm using. I don't think I can make the program take the shots in widescreen. Do you have any suggestions?

You need to figure out how to get 1920x1080 with your screencaputure programm.
Upscaling 640 to 1920 is not going to work quality wise.

Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?

Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?
Coz the 1920-1080 clips dont come out nice.
Next time I'll shoot everything with 1 camera...

If what you want to do is mix 1920X1080 clips with 1280X720 clips, I suggest that you create a sequence by dropping a 1280X720 clip on the "New Item" button to create the new sequence.
To quote John Smith:
Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)
For CS5 and later, the easy way to insure that your video and your project match
See 2nd post for picture of NEW ITEM process http://forums.adobe.com/thread/872666
-and a FAQ on sequence setting http://forums.adobe.com/message/3804341
You can then drop the 1920X1080 clips on that timeline. You can choose to do as Jim suggests and set "Scale to Frame Size" so that your video fits automatically, or you may choose to use the Scale parameter in the Motion effect to scale the video. The second method allows you to choose the best part of the frame to show if that turns out to be useful.
Many people refer to 29.97 as 60i and it is possible that when you wrote 50 up above, you meant 50i which is more commonly called 25. So basically, your 29.97 footage would be slowed down from around 30 to 25. You will have to speed it up 20% with Time Remapping, or just the Speed/Duration parameters. It would be better to do that in a separate sequence and then use that sequence as a clip in your main timeline.
If you actually meant 25, then you are going to have to slow down the 29.97 considerably. It might be better to interpret the 50 to 25 and add the 29.97 as I said above.
If this footage is interlaced, I suggest that you deinterlace it if one is Upper Field First and the other is Lower Field First. Those two don't play well together.

MSI Lightning 7970 Eyefinity 6 screen tearing.

Hello all,
I must start by expressing some dismay over the quality of phone support (probably should repost in another forum). The person I talked to did not really seem to listen to my symptoms or care what I was saying, which is why I am here. You seem to make a fine product, and the tech did not really seem to fit your status quo.
My issue is screen tearing. I have a MSI Lightning with 6 outputs. The 4 adapters are active display port to DVI adapters. The other 2 dvi outputs are in fact DVI-d. What happens is (whether in eyefinity or not), if I take a window and extend it to the full height of the desktop, then drag it from left to right and back across the desktop, parts of the window will not keep up with other parts of the window. Essentially parts of the dragged window will lead other parts.
All the monitors are the same make, model, and resolution. Furthermore, I have two different sets of 6 monitors. The sets of 6 are different make's and models, but within the sets of 6 the makes and models are identical. The problem follows both sets.
I have an ASUS HD7970-DG2T-XXXX. This problem also appears on that card as well as 3 other brands makes and models (6970 too with 6 like display port outputs). I have tried multiple sets of display port adapters and different sets of cables.
The problem persists through video and 3d applications. I have tried different versions of catalyst too, and some are better than others, with the one tearing the least being version 12.7.
My resoulotions are 1920x1080 on all monitors. I have also tried crossfiring two 7970's and the problem is still there.
My motherboard is Sabertooth 990fx with a FX 8120 CPU. I have 8 gigs of ram as well as a 750w PSU.
Thanks in advance to any help offered!

Macbook Pro 13" Screen Tearing Issue

Just recently purchased a new 13" Macbook Pro 2.4GHz, and noticed that when I am playing videos or even dragging a window across the screen, there is quite a considerable amount of screen tearing. I don't know whether this is to do with the video card, but the playback of videos is quite bad and the tearing is very noticeable. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the exact same problem (mid 2010 model, 2.66) i notice it happens when i quit a 3D video game like sims 3 or half life 2, even after the graphics update today. Its the worst when zoomed in (control + scrolling)
a temporary fix i ave found is putting the computer to sleep and then waking it again seems to fix it, but after a while it always comes back

How can I set up a screen screen sharing VNC at a resolution higher than display?

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13in, and i have set up screen sharing to access over VNC. I want to view my mac on my 1920x1080 display hooked up to my PC. But when i do it is not full screen, it is the same resolution as my MBP. how can i run it at a higher resolution only over VNC?

As Cvid suggests, I create my "frames" in Photoshop. Not sure about all versions, but my PS has several Actions, just for frames, and I have made a few more, with a different "look."
I Save_As PSD, and just Import those as Footage (I do not need the capability to work with the individual Layers).
Good luck,

Late 2006, 24" iMac, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Screen Tearing, nVidia 7300

Late 2006, 24" iMac, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Screen Tearing, nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
I've been suffering with screen tearing, strange screen artifacts, etc. followed by totally unresponsive freezing machine. This problem has been happening to varying degrees for about 9 months.
Initially, I was able to mitigate the problem with smcFanControl. Adjusting the fan speeds up helped keep the machine cool and prevent most of the problems. Recently, we had a spell of hot weather and the fans just couldn't keep up. If you're using smcFanControl, the only fan speed that will really make a difference is the CPU. The HDD and ODD fans are no where near where you need to be.
Also, I noticed the machine was LOADED with dust when I took it apart, including the heat sink fins for the graphics card. If you have time you may want to try a thorough cleaning with compressed air before replacing the card. You just need to get through step 11 below to access what needs to be cleaned.
Based on reading here and elsewhere, I decided to replace the graphics card. To give back to the community, I wanted to layout the procedure here.
Where to buy the card.
I had a tough time finding the right card. I did exhaustive web searches using every combination of Nvidia 7300 GT, etc. You really need to search by the Apple part number. The Apple part number for the 7300 is 661-4179, for the 7600 is 661-4180. I found it at We Love Macs and at dv warehouse. I paid $248 for the 7600 card. BE CAREFUL buying a "refurbished" card. At We Love Macs, "refurbished" means "pulled from a working machine." Could be a machine with as much mileage as yours and prone to the same failures as yours.
The card is an MXM style card (generally used in laptops), with a giant heat sink and heat pipe assembly. The card can be separated from the heat assembly. If I had time, I would have tried a generic, cheaper, MXM style card.
Dispelling some myths.
People here and elsewhere have said that no Intel iMac graphics card can be replaced, that they're wedded to the logic board. The one on this model can be replaced, I've done it. Also, some have said you can't put a 256MB, 7600 GT in a machine that originally had a 128MB, 7300 GT. Also, not true. That's what I did to my machine and it is working fine.
So here's the step-by-step on my take apart and replacement. This is just one user helping out others, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This takes about 1 1/2 hours to take apart and 2 to put back together.
1) Install the iStat widget and monitor the temperatures for a few days and record the temperatures (to be able to verify that you've completed the repair correctly later)
2) Make a complete backup of any internal drives and make sure the backup will be bootable (use Carbon Copy Cloner)
3) Use static safeguards, like an anti-static wrist strap.
4) Get a pen a stack of paper envelopes to separate and label the pieces you remove.
5) You'll need a #2 Phillips and #6, 8, 10 Torx. Most of the screws at T-8. There are 8 T-8s holding in the LCD. They are about 1 1/4" down. You'll need a long, skinny T-8 to get to them.
6) Unplug the machine and place it on it's back on a large white sheet of paper.
7) Remove RAM door, #2 Phillips x 2.
8) Remove RAM.
9) Remove 4 T-8s along bottom.
10) Remove large rectangular plastic bezel surrounding the whole machine, tilt up being careful not to stress iSight cables. You'll need to stretch it around the RAM ejection tabs.
11) Detach two iSight cables.
12) Peel up black stickers at lower corners of speakers.
13) Remove LCD screws, T-8 x 8. You'll probably drop a few, they're pretty easy to retrieve.
14) Remove two retaining screws on right hand LCD cable. T-6 x2 Unplug cable.
15) Remove LCD inverter cable, left.
Start unplugging everything connected to the logic board.
16) Unplug cable coming from right speaker. Note cable routing, it is the only one that's a little tricky. Also, note that the left one plugs in on the right and the right one plugs in on the left.
17) Remove right speaker. T-10 Note: left and right speaker screws are different lengths.
18) Unplug ODD blower cable.
19) Unplug ODD temp cable and lift up tape.
20) Unplug HDD blower cable.
21) Unplug the HDD temp cable.
22) Unplug the camera & mic cable.
23) Unscrew the clamp securing the airport card (has two antenna cables going to it, labeled PCIE), T-6 x 2
24) Unplug SATA cable.
25) Unplug Power cable, thick black plastic harness, socket.
26) Unplug ambient temp cable.
27) Unscrew the bluetooth card, T-6 x2.
28) Unplug CPU blower cable.
29) Unplug power button cable, 2 conductor, tiny cable, bottom left.
30) Unscrew left speaker, T-10, unplug from logic board, but just leave dangling, no need to remove cable completely.
31) Remove logic board screws. Be careful to segregate them, they have different lengths and different thread pitches and thread types. Some are machine threads going into metal, some are coarse threads going into plastic.
31a) Heat sink frame to case T-8 x 2
31b) Logic board to case T-8 x 3
31c) Screws at heat sink from arrows T-8 x 3
31d) Logic board at bottom near RAM slot T-8 x 2
32) Unplug ODD ribbon cable, be extremely careful. Release plastic tabs on each side to remove. Be sure it is fully and evenly seated when you put it back later.
33) Remove logic board with attached graphics card.
34) Unplug graphics card heat sink sensor cable at logic board end.
35) Remove graphics card screws 2 x T-6
36) Remove single screw from small L-bracket on heat sink 1 x T-6
Replace graphics card.
Reverse steps, put everything back together. Be careful not to pinch any cables when you put the logic board back in. When you put the LCD back in, if you can't get the screws to stick to the driver, use some glue stick from your kid's art supplies.
Test everything. You've disconnected every cable in the system.
I torture tested the machine with a space heater on it, 5 different videos of different formats playing at the same time. No problems.
I took a lot of pictures inside the machine. As soon as I figure out a good place to post them, I'll try to add a link here.
Good luck

Greetings!
I know this is in response to your post from over 2 years ago, but I was searching on Apple's site for the max RAM I can upgrade our refurbed iMac too and it brought up this post.
Oddly enough, I've been experiencing the same screen issues and locking up on our iMac as well. I was concerned it was a bad memory module, but now I'm thinking it's the same issue you found.
Because I bought this some 2+ years ago refurbed from Apple, I'm not surprised that could be the actual problem.
I've pulled this thing apart once to replace the hard-drive which crashed about a year ago, so I'm not totally new at opening it up, but this process you mention sounds pretty intense...just wanted to get your second take on it based on what I've done thus far.
Thanks again for posting this...it was an eye-opener as to what might actually be causing our issues with our trusted Mac!

When I connect a second monitor and change the solution so 1920*1080 the format ist 4:3 not 16:9

I connected a second display via mini display port to VGA adapter.
it works good, but when i change the solution to 1920 *1080 its only 4:3 not 16:9.

Hi William
In iDVD selct file - new. From the dropdown menu name your project, enter where you want to save it, select aspect ratio 16:9, save.
The templates you choose could be 14:9 or 4:3. If you select a 4:9 for a 16:9 project you'll be prompted by asking if you want to change or keep. Make sure to keep original aspect ratio.
You should be able to setup a 1pm, 3pm, 5pm menu in iDVD provided you exported the QT file with chapter markers. The chapter markers should be at these times. Don't set the marker right at the start or end of a frame.
Here's a tutorial on how to set CM in FCPX 10.0.6

Tom is right, iDVD is old software, but it still has utility. I would defer to Tom's advice as he is recognized on this forum as a professional author and prolific contributor to all things FCP (X). I have a couple of his books and they are an excellent source to learn from.

Screen tearing, but only on Retina display?

Hello,
Here's the situation...
I'm noticing screen tearing, but only on my Macbook Pro's retina display, not the external display that's also connected to it.
Here's my setup:
- Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (Late-2012)
- External Monitor is an HP w2007 (1680 x 1050) and is connected to my rMBP's HDMI port via an Apple HDMI-to-DVI adapter
- I'm running Mavericks
- Testing using www.speedtest.net
When I run the speed test on the w2007 monitor, everything is fine. However, when I run it on my retina display, the speed meter indicator needle always tears.
Is anybody else seeing this?
Can others, especially with external monitors, perform this test and post your results here?
Thanks!

To be honest, it's not affecting me that bad right now (I'm not doing a lot of gaming), but it bothers me that my superior retina screen is exhibiting tearing, but my old HP monitor is not.

Screen Tearing Issues

As of today, my Mac Mini has experienced severe screen tearing issues, it generally happens on Chrome but has started to also happen on other applications such as Pages. My Mac Mini is virtually brand new and has been used for about 2 weeks. I am using an TV via an HDMI cable. It is the 2.3ghz model with 4gb RAM. The OS is Mavericks. I have tried restarting but that didn't help. Plus the Mac is now hot with very little apps open (Minecraft, Chrome (1tab)) and the fan is loud.

Doesn't sound good... You have 90 days free phone support and a one year warranty on your Mac Mini.
I would Contact Apple Support or the Apple Store where you made the purchased and have it checked out.
Additionally you might wat to get AppleCare, which extends the phone support and warranty to three full years.

Screen Tearing in games

Sorry in advance for the awkward setup I suppose. I use arch and and xmonad with an nvidia GPU and the official NVidia drivers. I want to do more of my gaming in Linux, but right now whenever I launch a game (mainly from Steam) I get pretty severe and constant screen tearing.
The main game I'm testing with is Crusader Kings 2. I am mainly running it in windowed mode - fullscreen mode seems to sometimes just show me a black screen.
I have gone into the Nvidia settings and made sure that the display I'm playing on is the primary display. I'm not sure what next steps to take.

Have you tried e.g. ExactModeTimingsDVI
I tried it just now, and it didn't help. This did tip me off to the xorg.conf file, and now I believe I may know the problem.
I have two monitors hooked up, that "nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate" reports as 59.89Hz and 59.95Hz. From what I can find online, Nvidia is treating these both as one big virtual screen (a hack) so that displays can be changed without restarting X, and assigning the virtual VSync rate of 60Hz, which causes the slowly moving screen tear.
I'm not clear how to fix this. I would by happy if the whole virtual screen was synced to the refresh rate of the primary monitor, because I don't care if the second tears. I would also be [maybe even more] happy to have each display set as a separate X screen and require an X restart on switch (this seems like an odd limitation, are there any plans to fix this in Wayland or the Canonical alternative?), if that would fix the problem and allow nvidia-settings to detect the correct refresh rate. What's my best bet for defeating that tear?
