T510 Screen Resolution

I have a new T510 Thinkpad with the 15.6 inch widescreen. It appears the max resolution is 1366x768, which leaves everything too big. Is there a way to increase the resolution, and what would a good resolution be for this size monitor?

Hi eco_julie:
Unfortunately, that is probably your display's maximum resolution. If you just purchased the machine, I would recommend that you return the unit and purchase another with a higher resolution display. Lenovo offered a 1600 x900 or a 1900 x 1080 (Full High Definition).
The T510 that I use has the 1900x1080 and it is superb. It's rare to see a company offer a matte finish display, let alone one with such a high resolution. There are times where I do find the font size too small as I web browse. I zoom in to 110-120% and it works beaufitully. Don't compromise in this area. I owned an HP with that 1366 x 768 screen resolution and it became unbearable.

T510 Screen resolutions error?

To my knowledge, the screen resolution of 15,6" models should be as follows:
HD: 1366 x 768
HD+: 1600 x 900
FHD: 1920 x 1080
Then why on European Lenovo websites all T510 models are listed as 15.6 " HD+ AntiGlare 1366x768 ??
Here is Italy, Germany and Denmark.

Good question.
The Lenovo european sites haven't been as good and accurate as they used to be.
The system you linked to is described on the supprt site as follows;
Product: ThinkPad T510 4349-4JG
Original description: i7-620M(2.66GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, 15.6in 1600x900 LCD, 512MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn, Gobi2000 WWAN, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, Camera, 9c Li-Ion, Win7 Pro 64
The european sites are simply wrong.

External screen resolution "defaults" to low-rez (T510, docked; Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor)

I have a T510 Thinkpad with docking station (Windows XP) with Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor. Every time I start up, it defaults to low resolution and I need to manually increase the screen resolution. Is there a way to make the default setting for the external monitor is high-resolution?
Thanks!

hey ct-user,
it is hard to say if this is caused by the external monitor or by the docking station.
try having the the external monitor connected to the T510 and see if it "saves" the resolution that was previously set.
also, test the external monitor on a different laptop and see if the same issue occurs.

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.

Bridge - How to view image in full screen resolution

In Bridge - How to view an image in full screen resolution and not as a Preview (Space bar), like in Lightroom (F), Photoshop or ViewNX 2 ?

The size of the Bridge Preview window will always be the absolute limit of the image display in Bridge. Maybe I am not following you. Sorry

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:

Although some things are very similar to the original Macbook Pro, many are not.

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,
> I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768.
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?

Xorg 1.6, nvidia and screen resolutions

I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 from testing, including the nvidia drivers and kernel from testing. Everything is working great (and it fixed the libxi keyboard layout problems I was having), except that I can no longer select the screen resolution I want from the nvidia-settings application. The set of resolutions is very limited and I'm getting a horizontal stretch due to an incorrect aspect ratio.
I've tried manually adjusting the xorg.conf file after saving it in nvidia-settings, but it makes a mess of the file and I couldn't get it working. Does anybody know how to add screen resolutions into the nvidia-settings application?
Thank you!
Darin

Happened to me with most recent 1.5 update, I downgraded back to previous one to get working again. And now same happened with 1.6, this time I downgrade again without any further testing until someone else gets it solved
