Testing if screen resolution meet requirements

Hi,
By default our computers are set to 1024 X 768. In case a software would need 1280X1024, I would like testing if the actual screen resolution is effectively lower than the one need (1280X1024) and adjust it. If it is higher (like 1920X1080) then making no
adjustment.
What is the best way to compare and adjust screen resolution?
Thanks,
François

Hi François,
If you want to list the screen resolution, please refer to the script below:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_DesktopMonitor | Select-Object ScreenWidth,ScreenHeight
In a multi monitor environment you can get the info for all monitors with:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::AllScreens
Refer to:
Get Screen resolution using WMI/powershell in Windows 7
If you want to change the screen resolution via powershell, please refer to the script in this article, you just need to provide the width and height:
Set-ScreenResolution
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

  • Screen resolution problem in Microsoft Test Manager by Testing Windows Store Apps

    Hi,
    we are trying to perform tests of Windows Store Apps in a remote device (tablet), so as it is explained in:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh405417.aspx
    However, when we take a screenshot or we record a video, it is only shown a little part of the screen, because PC and Tablet screen resolutions are different.
    How could we solve this problem? Any idea?
    Thanks.

  • Screen resolution testing

    Hi everyone,
    I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this - and perhaps suggestions of resources to use.
    Re: screen resolution testing for website display - I find that the various online tools all behave in a sort of strange way - and perhaps I'm not "getting" it.  
    Example - if I test my old website, www.robcosh.com on any of these services to see how it displays, selecting iPhone 5 as the size simply means they create a tall rectangle and use that as a window to view my page - where I would have to scroll up and down, or sideways.   This does not represent the reality in any way, shape or form!   My iPhone 5 shows my entire site whether it's in landscape or portrait position, and it scales automatically to fit the page.  
    With that, it seems these tools are useless to see how a site might behave with various screen resolutions.
    Can any comment on this, and point me to tools that are accurate which I can trust the output from in order to evaluate my sites' appearance across a variety of resolutions?
    Many thanks!
    Rob

    Designing between the traditional desktop computer platform and other types of devices, like smart phones, is not very simple at all.
    While it is true any modern smart phone's web browser will automatically scale a "desktop" web site to fit its screen the phone user must use pinch-zoom techniques to make the page useful at all. When a desktop web page layout is scaled to fit the phone's screen the content on the desktop layout will often be too tiny to read and the navigation elements are too tiny to select with a finger. This is one of the reasons why so many web sites have separate "mobile" versions.
    In recent years smart phones have radically increased screen resolution. Plenty of Android-based phones have 1920x1080 full HD resolution screens, some support higher resolution levels like 2560x1440. The phone screens are still the same physical size (big for a phone screen, but tiny in relation to modern desktop computer monitors), but they're packing in a lot more pixels into the same sized piece of screen real estate. This is complicating the situation for designing a mobile version of a web site. Some really old phones still in use have pretty limited resolution while some newer phones have better than 1080p resolution.
    The traditional desktop platform isn't standing still either. A regular 960 pixel layout on its own probably isn't going to cut it anymore. HiPDI techniques are recommended to bridge the gap between the resolution levels of older computer monitors and the HD and better than HD settings used in newer monitors.
    Solution? A fair amount of extra planning and work. Adobe Muse doesn't fully support a fully "responsive" web design approach, but it does support HiDPI and allows for separate mobile and tablet site generation. Vector-based graphics will grow in importance. SVG images can cleanly scale for a variety of screen sizes and work great in HiDPI layouts. But I think Adobe needs to do more work improving SVG support within Muse and Illustrator.

  • FCS 3: minimum screen resolution requirement

    I have just upgraded from FCS2 to FCS3. I am still using 2 CRT monitors which I will be replacing later this summer. However, because my current monitors are set to 1024x768 85 Hz resolution, the first time I tried to start up the new FCS3 application it said that my monitors did not meet the minimum screen resolution of 1280x800...and that software results/performance could not be guaranteed.
    Would it be relatively safe to forge ahead and ignore the cautionary notice? I will be doing primarily some editing in HD in Pro Res 1080 p...and did a trial run on this on my older version of FCS2 and with the older CRTs and the same 1024x768 resolution and it all seemed to work fine.
    I do not plan on using Color...at least not for quite some time.
    Once I get my newer LCD displays, I will be at the higher resolution levels...but can I make a go of it for now?
    Thanks for any advice...John

    Worse comes to worse you can export to XML and edit in Final Cut 6/FS2. Also If FCS2 does what you need, you could just continue on with that until you get the new monitors unless there is something in FCS3.
    If this is stuff you must have working perfectly without a doubt because of deadlines, well you could play it safe and stick with FS2. If you are just working with it now to learn the new package, no real downside.

  • Error msg: your sys doesn't have required screen resolution

    Just downloaded & installed Presenter 9 trial version on my Win 7 system. My screen resolution only has two available settings, and neither one matches the precise resolution setting that the error msg says my system needs. What do I do?

    It is due to the cable that you are using. For DVI, there are 2 main type of cables in the market, DVI-D Single Link & DVI-D Dual Link.
    Extract from Wikipedia
    If you are using a DVI-D Single Link cable, the max resolution natively is 3,840 × 2,400 @ 17 Hz, which is unusable under normal usage. The next best max resolution is 1440 × 900 @ 60 Hz which is usable under normal usage.
    However, if you are using DVI-D Dual Link cable (not referring to Dual Monitor support here), the max resolution natively is 3,840 × 2,400 @ 33 Hz with GTF blanking, which is also unusable under normal usage. The next best max resolution is 2,560 × 1,600 @ 60 Hz with CVT-RB blanking, which is usable under normal usage.

  • BDC - standard screen resolution required?

    Is screen resolution a factor to check before carrying out any BDC with table control.

    hai Peterson,
    The numeber of lines of table control for BDC depend on screen resolution, but It can't be managed by program.
    So the better solution is to create a bdc doesn't depend on resolution.
    It can do that using always the first two lines of table control.
    When you start the simulation, first record has to be placed in first line of tc and the second in second one.
    Before placing the third record, it needs to place the second record to the top and so the third record can be placed in the second line.
    Before placing the next record, it needs to place the third record to the top and so the fourth record can be placed in the second line and so.
    In this way your BDC'll use alwways the first two lines of tc and your program won't depend on resolution.
    The problem is the transaction you need to simulate by BDC has to have a scroll functionality to allow to place the last record was elaborated to the top of tc, so the second line of tc can always be used to place the new record.
    If there isn't this functionality, it's better to use a BAPI instead of BDC.
    regards,
    Srikanth

  • Flash development and the 1366 x 768 screen resolution

    Has anyone tried to run Flash Pro [or, more importantly, the entire Web Premium Creative Suite] on a laptop with 1366 x 768 screen resolution?  Yes, I am aware that the specs for the software say that 1280 x 800 is minimum.  What I'm trying to figure out is whether this is an outdated spec from before the 1366 x 768 screen size became basically the only thing you could get in a 14" or 15" laptop or whether there is actually something desperately important about those last 32 pixels that will cause the software to function improperly.  I want a laptop that I can use to work on projects so I don't have to work at my desk all the time, and I need to know if I can get an off the shelf laptop for a reasonable price, with specs that meet or exceed the requirements of the software, aside from screen res, or whether I must get a higher end laptop with the full 1080 vertical.
    Thanks!

    For future reference, and so some poor soul in the future doesn't have the same issue getting an answer that I did: Flash Professional seems to work fine at 1366 x 768.  It is a teeny bit cramped, though it would be at 1280 x  800 as well.  I don't think I would ever want to ONLY use that size, but for the sake of not losing momentum on projects when I travel, it should be fine.
    I finally realized that the easiest way to test this was to simply shift my desktop monitor from its native resolution [1440 x 900] to 1366 x 768 and trying to use the software for a while.  Not sure why it took me so long to figure that out, but there it is.

  • Photoshop CS5 Screen Resolution

    <START OF RANT>
    Having recently decided to upgrade all my design software, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was (and still am) to find that after spending £231.12 GBP on buying Photoshop CS5 (upgrade from CS2) I'm unable to "Save As" and access some other features on my Acer Ferrari One due to the minimum screen resolution requirement. And before you start preaching that I should have checked, blah, blah, blah, and that it's my own fault then I only have 2 words for you: F*** O**!!! Why am I reacting like this? Simples, both Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 (for a mere £219.95 GBP) work fine on the very same netbook without any problems!!!
    Having spent hours upon hours browsing the tinternet (a.k.a. world wide web) and finding countless of people in the same boat as me making futile attempts to get Photoshop CS5 to work on a smaller screen resolution (the most common being 1024x600), it seems that short of changing the screen it will not work properly.
    Allow me therefore to put the following questions to the developers/coders of Photoshop CS5:
    1. Why do Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 work on the same netbook without fail yet Photoshop CS5 won't (unable to "Save As", can't see full screen of the "Save for Web" screen, etc.)?! WHY??? And please don't start with the lame excuse that they are different programs for different purposes because at the end of the day it's the same company. You don't buy a Mercedes C-Class and a Mercedes S-Class to find that the steering works on 1 but not the other, do you?!
    2. Are your heads so far up your place where the sun don't shine that you have forgotten about the fact that people FIRST pick a PC/Mac/Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and ONLY THEN PICK SOFTWARE?
    3. Do you want people to keep buying your software?
    If the answer to question 3 (above) is YES, then PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT, get your act together and do something about these issues, pronto. Else, rest assured you will lose custom to the competition (e.g Corel) - even loyalists like myself (who started & stuck with Photoshop since 1997 - that's 14 YEARS OF LOYALTY should one be incapable of doing the math). In this day & age any company would be wise not to make mistakes which could cost it market share - Adobe is making that mistake with Photoshop right now!!!
    </END OF RANT!!!>

    <Start of Reply>
    Why are trying to get Photoshop work on a display that is smaller then the programs was designed for. Adobe publishes screen requirements.  Next you'll want it to run on a iPod Nano so you can have it on hand all the time.
    <Just keep on RANTING if it make you feel GOOD>
    CS2 Works the Problem is all YOU
    So same to you and you foul mouth.
    Why blame Adobe Why not your net book maker fot not allowing you to set a resolution more then the display has. I have worked on machines the could the just scroll the display over the larger image that way you can see the whole image.  CS5 would work on a machine like that. Of course I want it always at hand!!! Do you even live in this world?! Have you noticed for example that phones have better cameras than the best camera available en masse 5 years ago let alone longer e.g. 10 years ago? Note how small it is!!!
    Of course I want to edit my pictures using the program of my choice and 14 years ago I did make that choice choosing PS, hence the decision to purchase the Acer Ferrari One - CS2 works like a charm.
    As to the point that I'm problematic, please read my post carefully before making statements that make you come across as foolish.

    1. Serious ps users make sure their hardware meets their program's system requirements.

    1. OLD Hardware?! Please do your homework before replying. The Acer Ferrari One was released beginning of last year and is a top of the range netbook - more powerful than any netbook out there and any laptop that is over 2 years old. FACT! Even some of the new laptops benchmarked could not out-do this little beast. FACT!
    2. Unless one is buying a Mercedes Van or Truck it will fit in the garage (even the ML320 fits) - CS2 fits and so do other Adobe CS3 & CS4 products. So why not the PS CS5 - its no a Van or Truck. In fact it's more comparable to an S-Class.
    3. Hardware also evolves - it's getting smaller and more powerful. I could run PS on the water-cooled, Phenom X4 & NVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 powered stationary PC connected to a 32" LCD by HDMI, running Linux Mint 10 x64/Windows 7 x64 (dual boot) with MacOS X running virtually by use of VMWare on both. Instead I choose to be mobile editing my pics as soon as I have taken them (patience is not always a virtue)! As humans we also need to evolve and judging by most of the replies so far it's not looking good for human evolution (albeit some replies do make valid & intelligent arguments and are as such well received).

    You are right: I do mean to offend Adobe and hope they are offended!!! However, do accept my apologies for losing composure (and my manners along with it). Unfortunately, in this day and age it seems to be the only way to reach the audience of those who can assist with problem resolution of this kind. That is of course unless the very same decide to provide the PS CS5 source code which would enable me to address the issue at hand without the need to contact Adobe or rant.

    Not speaking for Adobe, I would expect that they want intelligent people to keep buying their software. They also make Photoshop Elements for someone like you. Photoshop is a professional image editing application used by professionals. Professionals do not pick up a cheap low-power netbook to do their image editing. Casting the concept of 'professional' aside, Adobe expects buyers to be literate to notice the system requirements prior to paying large sums.
    If all that you are doing is web design, you should be using GIMP, which is free, requires much less resources, and is better suited for preparing web images (PNG8 with alpha anyone?).
    RE: rants... GIGO
    In fact, it would be better for you not to speak at all considering your assumptious and pompous nature. Adobe will pay attention to this post as long as it attracts traffic (you can find a simple explanation of the term 'traffic' in this context using this link). As to your ideology of the professional image editor, it is of little interest here and beside the point. Thus, please refrain from participating any further in this discussion while not in a capacity to speak on behalf of Adobe or offer anything other than remarkable insights into what one should or should not use for image editing.

  • Screen Resolution Issues

    Hi,
    I am working with a developer on an application in air and we are having trouble adjusting the screen resolution to meet the various computers that will be running the app.
    On my computer  with resolution of 1440 x 900 the app looks great but as soon as we install it on another computer with moderately weaker resolution, much of the program is cut off.
    Is there a way have the applicaiton adjust to different screen resolutions automatically? Or is there something we can write into the code that would not require countless hours of labor?
    Or can you make a recomendation as to the resolution we should be focusing on?
    Thanks!

    Design your app with the minimum screen res your audience would be using (i.e. if you plan on making your app for your gamer friends, assume theyll be on a higher resolution, your grandmother is probably a lower res). 1024x768 is the safest bet.
    use
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    instead of trying to force a specific size.

  • High screen resolution problems

    Hi. 
    Just bought a Dell XPS lapptop with screen resolution 3200x1800 and windows 8.1. After installing photoshop CS6 the program interface, menus and icons are extremly smal and almost impossible to see. That also happens in Bridge but not in Lightroom. Thankfull for your help.  Best regards/janis lukas

    Ideally  For a Image editor you want a high resolution display so you can edit your images at a high resolution near or actual print quality.  And the editor should have a UI that is easy to see and use.  That is what CC 2014 2x UI is all about.   You can can have an OS like Windows scale your display image effectively  run you display at a lower resolution so that things display larger.  Scaling the display to 1/2 resolution is easy for its and even multiplayer 2x A 200DPI display would be like a 100DPI display with 1/4 the number of pixels.  Scaling the display defeats the reason to have a high resolution display.  However it may work well for a Application like the bridge. The the bridge only displays previews and thumbnails.  It is not what you want for an image editor like Photoshop.  You want to be able to use the high resolution for editing.
    As I wrote Windows can scale the system display for application to lower resolutions.   Application have that option.  Adobe application do not the have windows scale the display so their Applications can take advantage of all the pixels and resolution the display has to offer.  However Only Photoshop has a option to scale its UI 2x.
    It is possible to have Windows scale the display for an Adobe Application by making a registry update and adding an external manifest file for applications yo want Windows to scale.
    I can show you the difference between  Adobe CC 2x UI and Windows scaling.  CC 2014 2x UI works well on 4K displays that have high resolution.  However it does not work well on a Surface Pro 3  Display that has a 216PPI resolution for the display only has 2160 x 1440 Pixels Scaling the UI 2x effectively make the display look like a 108 PPI display with 1080x720 pixels.  Which doe not meet Photoshop 1024x768 requirement.  Photoshop UI just doesn't fit.
    Windows Scaling for the Surface Pro 3 has  4 preset dor scaling the display 150% being the default for the surface pro 3
    Microsoft Preset Display scaling
    100% 2160x1440   216 PPI
    125% 1728x1152   173 PPI
    150% 1440x960    144 PPI SP3 Default setting
    200% 1080x720    108 PPI
    The 150% scaling works well for Photoshop UI however it alsi scala Photoshop image window where CC 2014 2C UI does not.  Windows scaling can also be use on other versions of Photoshop and bridge etc. It would be helpful if Photoshop also offered a  1.25x and 1.5x UI.  Here are some screen captures I did on my Surface Pro 3 the shows the difference  between 2x UI and Display scaling.   CC 2014  Adobe scaling vs Windows scaling.

  • NetBook Screen Resolution for Media Manager

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Sorry, but basically, you don't...as you stated, the software has a minimum screen resolution requirement. Simple as that. If your system does not meet that, then the software won't work. You can read this KB for more information, including a workaround.

  • How to programmatically resize vi for different screen resolutions ?

    Hi,
         I have been struggling with this,How can i built a vi that should run for different screen resolutions (on different pc's).
    There are several threads on forum , But i dont find the exact solution for it.
    I have already tried with VI properties in the VI but i dont think its working.
    Can someone please help me ?
    Thanks and regards,

    Yup it is a pain to use panes, but that is the easiest method I've found which meets my requirements.  Learn to use panes and splitters effectively, and then learn their limitations and workaround when you find those limitations.  In general LabVIEW should handle multi-resolutions, and resizing better but these are the tools we have today.

  • SAP Offline Player - Screen Resolution is too low

    I have a customer that has the SAP offline player 6.02_5 and is working from two monitors.  He appears to have his monitors configured identical from my dual monitor setup in which I have no issues but he is getting a pop-up that reads:
    This computer does NOT meet the minimum requirements (Current 1024x640/ Required 1024x768+)  Your screen resolution is too low.
    Could this possibly be a video card issue?  Everytime that he tried to launch the SAP Offline Player the message above pops up on the users pc.  Any ideas?

    One person reported he found an app with a simular problem. Unfortunatly there is no real fix. Yell at the maker of the app for not supporting something as basic and trivial as 720p. 

  • Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

    Ok Guys-
    So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
    www.nicksdesign.com/flash
    I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
    flash, and the problem is...
    I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
    published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
    the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
    However-
    I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
    required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
    all the content on the 100% flash website.
    My question-
    Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
    based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
    browser]
    Any help would be SUPER appreciated
    Best Regards,
    Nick Smith

    I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
    size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
    way too wide.
    Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
    Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
    participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
    and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
    Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
    Cheers, Brian
