T400: Screen resolution is mixed-up

I'm using a 2765-21G ThinkPad T400, with Microsoft Vista Business as the OS. I'm using the highest screen resolution, which was native to the PC when I bought it (although I did change the DPI from the default 96 to 106).
Since the PC downloaded the latest batch of Windows updates the other day, certain applications (e.g. Skype, BBC iPlayer download manager, etc.) - as well as Windows message boxes and the ThinkVantage menu - seem to appear at a lower resolution, with a soft/fuzzy appearance to the writing and graphics. This is the case even though everything else remains at its normal, sharp resolution.
It's not the biggest problem in the world, and if I hadn't just paid full-whack on a premium laptop I might just let it slide. But as it is, I'd quite like to find a solution. Anyone got any ideas?

Low screen resolution on my T400.

Maximum screen resolution on my new ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics(windows 7 home premium) is only 1280x800, I was expecting it to to more higher.
Please advice on what to do.

IIRC, the choices were 1280x800 (WXGA) or 1440x900 (WXGA+ as mine is). W/ the CTO models you had to pick one when specifying the system.

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...)

Screen Resolution & Beep Sound

Mine is T400 bought in NUS, Vista OS. Very happy experience using this fatastic laptop, only a few minor questions
First question is How I can set my screen resolution high than 1280*800, which is right now the highest I can find on the display settings.
Second (a general question maybe): every time I plug in and out the AC cable, my T400 makes a loud beep, and also the case when hibernating or waking from hibernation, which is very annoying ....... It is best if the beep can be cancelled.
Thanks for helping me.

Hello and welcome to this forum
First, it´s not possible to get more resolution, when your native is1280*800 or you have to use an extern monitor.
Second, go to bios there are switches to turn beeps of, when powerstatus is changed.
Also look into the pogram engergie manager, there are also possibilities to switch beeps on and off.

Help with T430 screen resolution

I would like to purchase a T430 with 1600x900 screen resolution as recommended in the reviews. However, I am concerned about whether I will be able to read text at that resolution. (This was an issue with the higher resolution when I purchased my beloved T400.) I cannot find a T430 in my area to look at before purchase. So, I am wondering whether some kind soul might be willing to post a screenshot of the desktop (with icons on it) of their T430 1600x900. Viewed at the original size, I should be able to determine from that image whether it will be legible, right?

There are no stores in my area that carry the T430. I would have to travel 3 hours to see one. But if the screenshot would not tell me what I need to know, maybe I will need to do just that.
I didn't say a ThinkPad. Any computer with a 14" screen running 1600x900 natively will give you some idea if that resolution is going to be acceptable.
If the closest computer store is 3 hours, it probably isn't worth doing. 6 hours round trip is a lot of time and hassle.

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?

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts. How do I fix?

When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
I plan on using this again Friday.

Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

How to turn off "screen resolution" warning in iPhoto?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running. I have set the resolution to my preference and I don't mind seeing this warning once when I start iPhoto, but it gets annoying. How can I set iPhoto to stop doing this?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running.
Is there a reason, why you do not update to the Yosemite compatible version iPhoto 9.6? I never get the warning, you are reporting, if the iPhoto window can fit the screen, with MacOS X 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6.1.

How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
adjust the webpage accordingly.

tlcarl,

You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
(which is
fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
their browsers
to fill that whole area?

There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
when the
browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
the SWF is
embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
code against
that event, which can be done like this ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
your goal,
but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
already built,
so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
hood, so to speak,
and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
designed and
programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.

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.

EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
Thanks

Screen Resolution trouble on Toshiba Satellite l775-s7307after reinstallation of Windows 7

I was having troubles. Had browser malware that couldn't be contained, and I had other issues, such as, getting the blue screen of death on a regular basis.....I wiped the HD, and reinstalled Windows 7-32 bit, and downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model from the Toshiba website, but I seem to be struggling with readjusting my screen resolution to where it should be....It won't set any higher than 1024 x 768.
Any ideas?

In the future, I'd recommend performing a system recovery rather than reinstalling a clean copy of Windows. A system recovery will include all applicable software.
You installed the latest Intel display driver?
