Tecra S5: No 1920x1200 & 1680x1050 support on external monitors?

Hello,
I have a Tecra S5 with nVidia Quadro NVS 130M (512 MB)
Officially, according to Toshiba the external monitor specs are:
+max. resolution : 2,048 x 1,536+
+max. refresh rate : 100 Hz+
+non-interlaced resolution with max. refresh rate : 1,920 x 1,200+
I try to work with 2 different external monitors with no luck.
First I had a Samsung 245B, 24'' (1920x1200). I install the Samsung driver, but this resolution was not supported.I tried also the forceWare from laptop2go.com, but again no luck.
So, I change my monitor and bought a Samsung 2243NW, 22'', 1680x1050. This resolution is the same with the native resolution of Tecra. I thought that this resolution could be supported. But still no luck. I could change the resolution to 1400x1050, or 1600x1200, but not the 1680x1050.
It it really a pity that Toshiba doesn't support 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 resolutions. The majority of nowadays monitors use those res.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

Hi
You should firstly check if you graphic card would support such resolution on external monitor.
The user manual should provide all details.
If the graphic card doesnt support you favorite resolution then there is nothing to do.
If the GPU will support such external resolution then you have to check if the graphic driver would also support such resolution. The point is that even if the graphic card would support the external resolution you will be not able to choose it if the graphic driver doesnt support it.
As you see more factors are important

Can X301 support multiple external monitors?

Hi,
I'm looking at buying a X301, but I'd like the ability to drive 2 external monitors at 1600x1200 (the native resolution of those devices). Does anyone know if the X301 can do that? If I need a specific external dock to do that, can someone point me towards that dock?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-Jeff

the X301 have a display port and vga output supported natively on the actual machine, which can support one external monitor, you can then get Lenovo usb enhanced port replicator, which has another vga output, using that you can output two external monitor....
haven't tried it, since i don't have a X301, but theoretically it should work, maybe someone can confirm this for you, as the last thing you want is to purchase a machine and it turns out that it won't work in the way you hoped it can.

Tecra M2: No 1400x1050 graphics resolution with external monitor

Hi.
I am using a Tecra M2, with GeForce FXGo5200, Win XP (patched),latest graphics driver 4.6.4.4.
Problem:
There is no possibility to switch to standard resolution 1400x1050 for the external monitor.
1600x1200 (and higher), 1280x1024 and many others are offered in a long list, but the one I need for the Samsung 203B is missing - even if "don't show resolutions not supported" in monitor display properties is disabled.
According to the T2 manual, 1400x1050 is supported.
Tested with 1600x1200 on another Monitor and it works perfectly.
Interesting: If I uninstall the graphics driver, I can switch to 1400x1050, so from a technical perspective, it should work.
Working without graphics driver is no alternative.
Has anybody had this problem or knows how to force the driver to switch to 1400x1050?
Thanks a lot!

Youre right.
The hardware supports this resolution but it seems that this resolution was not listed in the graphic card drivers.
I dont know why the graphic card driver manufactures doesnt includes some resolutions to this software but if its not listed so I presume there is nothing to do. :(

Supports two external monitors???

Hello.
I'm in need of a new laptop but I dont know what to buy. I'm thinking of a Macbook Pro w/ retina (would be my first Mac). But will I be able to connect it to my two external Acer monitors? Each monitor supports HDMI, VGA and DVI. I know that Macbook Pro got one HDMI, and two Thunderbolt outputs.
Would it be possible to connect an external monitor with, lets say Thunderbolt --> VGA, with an adapter or something, and the other screen with HDMI --> HDMI?
I don't want "mirror screens", I wan't to extend the screen into two monitors.
Would this scenario be possible?
Thanks!
// Anton.

Yes, this will work just fine. I have done it through two thunderbolt -> VGA adapters. Also, have done one thunderbolt -> VGA to power one in addition to one connected through HDMI.

Will Thunderbolt support 2 external monitors?

I would like to connect the 2 external 24" monitors via the HDMI output from the Thunderbold port? Can this be done?

Hi Terry!
It depends what MacBook Pro you have. 13" models support only one monitor while the 15" amd the 17" support two.
Hope this helps!

PB supporting dual external monitors

I am trying to see if I can use the VGA and serial port out to support two Mitsubishi external monitors so I can have more viewing area with Final Cut.
Has anyone done this sucessfully? What specific cable do I need for the multi-pin serial port from the PB G4 to the serial port on the back of the monitor? The VGA hook-up is working fine.
Also, what settings do I go into to set the output of the PB G4?

I don't think you can use the DVI and the S-Video output at the same time - I think you will need to get a video card that plugs intot he PC Card slot.

CAN HP Envy 15t j100 Support 2 external monitors?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to connect 2 external Dell monitors with HDMI inputs, to my Envy 15t j100. The evy has only 1 HDMI out port. The Envy also has 4 USB 3.0 ports. Ideally, I would like the option to use all 3 displays (The Envy's and the 2 externals.) But would be satisfied with just the 2 externals, extended 1 to the other, for desktop work. Any ideas? Is this possible?

Hi,
Unfortunately you can't use one HDMI port to connect to two monitor even with a HDMI spliter. You need a small investment to buy a piece of hardware and you can setup like:
Actually Dell monitor is the one on the left hand side. Two external monitors are all FHD. Please watch the following video:

Will the FDR-AX100 ever support 4k external monitoring?

I had plans to hook this up to my Atmos. This is so very dissappointing. We may have to send this camera back. MMance

Mitch, Hopefully this really can be corrected soon. With all of the stabilizers,tripods, and crane/jibs that really need the help of a external monitor for this camera, it really will sell more AX100's. Please let your depts know that this has been talked about ever since the camera came out last year. Would be cool if they could get it to work when the firmware update for the AX100 comes out in March. Your response is not a permanent solution for the issue but thank you for at least responding and many of us on various online forums hope that something can be done soon.

Can I support 3 external monitors on my late 2013 15" Macbook pro?

The lid would be closed and I want to power 1 through HDMI and 2 through thunderbolt to HDMI. Is this possible?

Hello doelfke1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
According to the technical specifications of your computer, it can support up to two external displays.
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors

No 1680x1050 Resolution for External Monitor?

Hello, forum friends! So after getting a very nice 22"-ish Envision Monitor connected via VGA to my 2011 Macbook Pro, it appears that there is no option for the monitor's recommended resolution, which is 1680x1050! The highest level resolution is 1600x1200, which makes everything look a little stretched out. Does anyone know how to adjust this manually, or has anyone else had this problem? I've heard that this is a new problem from the recent display update.
Thanks for your help!

Hmm, I've appeared to solve my own problem! I simply used the application SwitchResX. It worked very well.
Hope this helps someone else, then!

Tecra A9 - external Monitor shows stripes when using the Laptop pluged.

Hello
I've heard about at least 3 Tecras A9 witch produces stripes on the external Monitor only when the Laptop is pluged. When using the Laptop with the battery, the Monitor works just fine. they tried to divide the cables of the Monitor and the power supply as far as possible, but still the same problem. When using the Laptop with a non-toshiba-AC Adaptor, the external Monitor is working fine.

Hello
In my opinion you should visit nearest authorized Toshiba service provider. They can connect your Tecra to external monitors and test it. If the result is the same I am pretty sure you will get AC adapter replacement for free.
Do not wait and discuss for days here. Contact them and I hope they will help you.

HD-SDI external monitoring support for PrP 5.5

For the moment I am working in Adobe sequences, but hoping that external monitoring issues (i.e., playback, rendering of AE dynamic links ,etc.) are resolved one way (third party) or the other (Adobe).
This issues will eventually (some are already looking to Avid for alternatives) piss off some of the higher end users (facilities, boutiques) that Adobe doesnt want to lose.
Adobe, I know your plate is very full, but this one could have tragic consequences on your new found popularity.

I know there is support for external monitoring, it just is very bad at this point.This forum and others contain numerous such reports. I have been in touch with Adobe and the vendor of the product I used with FCP and now with current drivers for PrP. This is why I have switched to editing with Adobe sequences. Due to the issues stated in the previous posting. I have send in bug reports ad infinitum. I spent lots of phone time with good supportive technical folks.
This post is more editorial in nature then anything else. I really like the Adobe Production Studio and I want to see it succeed and flourish.

Setting the resolution for external monitor

Hello all,
I just purchased a ViewSonic vx2025wm 20.1" external monitor for my PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz 12". I've scoured the discussions regarding my question, but couldn't seem to find it. So I'll post it here...
I've successly connected the ViewSonic to my PB and the image seems to display fine in "spanning" mode (ie images span over two screens). However, when I try to "mirror" (ie have the same view show on both screens) the external monitor displays a 1024x768 resolution (the PB displays this as well, but that is the optimal resolution for the 12"). My question is this: how can I mirror while having each screen display its optimal resolution (the optimal resolutions would be 1680x1050 for the External monitor, and 1024x768 for the PB).
Thanks in advance for any wisdom on this!
PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz 12 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25 Gig RAM

Thanks for the quick response -- and one follow-up question. Will turning mirror off (which, if I understand correctly, will place the displays in spanning mode) cause a strain on my PB? Since the PB will be supporting the displays of both the external monitor plus its own display. Does that make sense? I actually read something related to this in these discussions which is why I brought it up. I will try to locate that discussion and place a link in this thread so I can better explain.
