T530 resolution, 1900x1080 vs 1600 x 900

hello all! i was looking at the 2 models given for the T530 2012 edition. i saw that the cheaper one had an hd 1900x1080 resolution while the other had a HD+ 1600x900 resolution. my question is, which screen is better? what does hd + mean? and why would they, if they did, give the better screen to the lower priced laptop

FHD means 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, HD+ 1600 x 900, while HD 1366 x 768. The FHD is the best in terms of contrast, colour reproduction and viewing angle.

T530 1368 x 768 vs 1600 x 900

On the T530 1368 x 768 vs 1600 x 900 screens.
1. Is the contrast ratio much better on the 1600 x 900 screen ?
2. I know font size can be adjusted in windows settings but in without changing these settings
how much smaller do things look on the 1600 x 900 screens ? What percentage do I have to set
the chrome browser's zoom setting to, to simulate the reduction.
I wear glasses, although Im ok with smaller fonts, I dont like to strain.
How much multitasking advantage is there with the 1600 x 900 resolution.
Thanks in advance for you help

1600x900 on my T430 (14" screen) is 133dpi, while 1366x768 is about 113dpi. Normal desktop monitors (AFAIK) are usually 72 to 90 dpi.
The text size on 1600x900 is about 85% of 1366x768. In Microsoft Word, 135% on 1600x900 is about the real size of a document. Of course, on 15" things would be a little bit different.
It is impossible to simulate the view on a screen with a different density, so it would be the best if you can get to a store and see how the real machine looks.
For me, I chose 1600x900 simply because it is higher in resolution, as I am a programmer it will be better if I can see more code at a time with a higher vertical resolution, and sometimes I need to compare things side-by-side that a higher horizontal resolution can just help.

Satellite M110 - question on Screen resolution 1600 x 900

Hi experts, hoping you can help me out.
Just bought an external screen which needs 1600 x 900 screen resolution,.... trouble is my display settings don't have that option.
If I "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" I can only choose 800x600 or 1024x768
If I uncheck this box "hide...display", the nearest I can choose are 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
Where is the 1600 x 900 option??? everything on the external screen is sttrreettched out.....
I have
- Satellite M110 PSMB0A
- Windows XP
- Display adapter says "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family"
- I've downloaded the latest driver, (at least I think I did!) and my driver version is 6.14.10.4543 dated 23/03/06
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
There are two reasons why a favorite resolution is not available.
1) the graphic card driver does not support such resolution
2) or/and the graphic card doesnt support it too.
In the user manual of Satellite M110 you should find a info (somewhere at the end of user manual) what resolutions are supported and available.
If the graphic card would support such resolution then this would mean that your installed driver is the reason why you cannot choose this resolution.
In such case its advisable to update the driver and to use the one from the Intel page.
The graphic chip is Intel one and therefore the driver from Intel page should work.
In some cases you would be not able to install the driver executing the setup.exe.
In such case you have to go to the device manger and have to use the advanced installation procedure. Then you could point to the driver package which you have downloaded previously from Intel page.

Cannot select a 1600 x 900 resolution

I am using Win 7 Home Edition 64 bit on an mid 2011 iMac via BootCamp; the problem is that i cannot select the 1600x900 screen resolution, as it is not available as an option at the Control Panel menu. I have reinstalled the windows support software, installed drivers directly from the ATI's site (both for desktop and notebook use) but the above resolution is not available. When i boot into Mac OS X, the 1600 x 900 resolution is available and is the one selected. Any suggestion is welcomed.

I suggest re-asking/reposting this in the Bootcamp forum. It is a Windows issue, not a Lion issue.

6550b replacement screen 1600 x 900 not working.

I have a HP6550b and the original screen has broken.
The original screen had a resolution of 1366 x 768.
I read from the specifications that this laptop can also support a resolution of 1600 x 900.
However, if I try a new screen with the 1600 x 900 resolution it will not work properley.
I get compacted vertical lines, blurred text and the colour is predominantly pink....
Does anyone know why this is happening..??
I do not see any special video cables for this higher resolution, the specs say that the laptop can work at this resolution and I have also tried different 1600 x 900 screens in different 6550b laptops all with the same result.
Appreciate any help with this one.
thanks.

Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

Black bars with 1600 x 900

Hello im trying to make a counterstrike source movie and im recording my footage in 1600 x 900 and 16:9 so i finally figured out how to setup
a CUSTOM sequence and get my resolution in there as 1600 x 900 and 16:9 but the issue i am having is the black bars once i export. ive researched on these forums about this issue and some people say to scale it?? not quite sure what that means but im using the sequence settings desktop with 1600 x 900 and 16:9 when i export i also select use sequence settings. any help would be appreciated. thanks

to answer your question im using counterstrike source video game and the start movie command in 1600 x 900 and 16:9 resolution. ive also tried virtual dub and i can get it to where it has no bars on virtual dub but not adobe. hopefully this is all the settings you asked for. maybe it has to do with me not knowing what settings to use?? but this is as close as ive gotten
using the i frame only mpeg for the codec(only one i could do a custom res on i think)
width and hieght 1600 x 900
pixel aspect ratio d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9(unsure of what to use closest i could find)
here are the properties of the video i made with no bars that im trying to edit in premier
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 8.7 MB
Image Size: 1600 x 900
Pixel Depth: 0
Frame Rate: 60.00
Total Duration: 00:00:07:08
Average Data Rate: 1.2 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
basically this gives me a video with no bars on top which is great. but it has bars on the side which is not so great.

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Thinkpad T430 Display: HD (1366 x 768) vs. HD+ (1600 x 900) Specifics

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help. As I've researched the Lenovo ThinkPad T430, and it's various configuration options, I've found specific information on the differences between the HD (1366 x 768) display and the HD+ (1600 x 900) display to be rather lacking. Everything I've read boils down to "go with the HD+ if possible" but I was hoping for more information. I'd be using the laptop for reading documents and web pages, as well as viewing movies, so I was wondering if more knowledgeable people than I would pipe in with their opinions, especially when it comes to watching movies on the laptop (in a dark room with the laptop at the foot of the bed and using headphones). Thanks again for your time; I really appreciate it.

Hi,
I bought my t530i with the HD (1366x768) display. I am absolutely disappointed in it. The viewing angle is horrible, the colors are whitey, pallid, the black color is not black, it is rather dark gray, because the backlight is so strong. I would like to sell it, because it is useless for me, but nobody wants it. I don't know if this applies to the 430 series, so I suggest You to check it out personally, before You buy it.

My AT&T Yahoo email gives me an error message saying that my screen resolution is too low, but it is at 1600 x 900. This only happens in Firefox, not in IE.

When I try to use Firefox to access my ATT.NET account I get an error message about my screen resolution being to low to support the site.My resolution is not low its at the highest available. I also use IE9 and do not have this problem. I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1. This has been an ongoing problem. I am using a Toshiba laptop 15.6 screen with 4GB RAM. I see other complaints about this specific problem but have yet to find a solution. Thanks for your help.

Please see added comments on the question. Its not a zoom issue its all about the new ATT design email and Firefox, I agree with Noah there a bug between the old and the new and firefox only.
UPDATE:
I stand corrected. I went back in again and did the reset zoom and it appears to eliminate the error. Problem solved but I am not sure why I never set up zoom and didn't have the problem on any other site. Will it need to be done each and every time I go into that page or is it now corrected?

Yahoo is giving screen resolution error for my Sony Vaio laptop at 1600 x 900

My laptop display had no screen resolution problem before upgrading to 3.6.10. The error states I should set to 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. This is less than that I already have. I don't understand why this occurs.

1600 x 900 resolution

Hey all-
I have a roughly 3 year old black MacBook. I just bought a Dell monitor with a native res of 1600x900, and my MacBook will not give me that option for a resolution.
I am connected via VGA, using an adaptor from MonoPrice (non-Apple, but it works great...).
Graphics chipset is the Intel GMA 950 (built in, 64 mb shared).
Do I have options? Or is it simply time for a computer upgrade?
Thanks!

Mirrored. I do a ton of external monitor/projector use with my Mac and am quite familiar the settings. I noticed that when plugged into my MacBook it would not show the monitor model, but it did on my finance and brothers MacBooks (it also worked in 1600x900 on theirs). Turned out to be a bad adapter...odd that it worked on theirs and not mine....
Thanks for looking!

Why do 15.4" Macbook Pro's not support resolutions greater than 1440 x 900?

Hi.
I am a Microsoft .net software developer and am seriously considering getting a Macbook Pro to do some iPhone development. My company has provided me with a 15.4" Dell Precision M4400 that features an LED-backlit screen and nVidia Quadro FX 770M discrete graphics card, supporting 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I'd like to know why the 15.4" Macbook Pro's do not support anything greater than 1440 x 900 when it seems entirely possible? I understand that 17" MBP's do support 1920 x 1200 but it is not currently an option I'm considering pursuing due to the increased size and weight.
Thanks.
Jon

Just to be clear, since you're bringing up graphics cards - the 15" MBP supports up to 2560x1600 resolution on an external display, and simultaneously supports full native resolution on the internal display. As Phil points out, the native resolution of the 15" MBP's internal display is 1440x900, and Apple does not offer a higher resolution option for that model (although higher resolution 15" displays do exist). As to why that's the case, only Apple can answer that or change that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html.
As you know, if you want to use the iPhone SDK, you need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
Ps. Welcome back, Phil!!

Older Macbook Pro Resolution stuck at 1440 x 900

I have mid 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 running 10.6.6. Recently it has developed a problem with the resolution settings. The highest resolution I can achieve is 1440 x 900 in Syetem prefs. It also means that i cannot see all the screen at one time. I have tried to delete any prefs I can see with Displays in them and it has made no difference.
Has anybody seen this problem before I have never come across anything like this before. I am currently downloading the 10.6.8 combo update and may try an update to Mountain Lion if this doesn't work.
Thank you in advance

You know what I can't remember, pehaps its not the resolution that's the problem, it's just that I cannot see the whole screen at once as if it has been zoomed, but as far as I can tell it hasn't. Made me think a bit differently about it. Thanks

Problems to get 1080p resolution (1900x1080) on Satellite Pro U200

Hi all,
I'm new in this forum. I have a 1080p monitor, it works perfectly with my old desktop computer (with a gforce 4 graphics card). But when I connect this monitor to my Toshiba U200, the max resolution to set is limited to 1680x1050.
I've updated the drivers of the graphic card with the latest driver released by Intel (vers. 7.14.10.1504 - Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family), but the problem persists.
Anybody got any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks.
Edit: OS used: Windows Vista Business.

Im afraid there is no solution. The notebook can offer just supported resolutions and 1080p is, as far as I know, not available. Not on this notebook model.
