Type on Monitor looks out-of-register

I just reinstalled my Win 7 Pro (64 bit) OS and now the HP 2709m monitor is no longer displaying text clearly.  It looks out-of-register and blurry with some letters darker than others with blue at the edges. 
I reinstalled the driver from original HP CD, then downloaded latest "Driver - Display/Monitor"  from your website.  I also downloaded the utility tools, and ran "first aid" twice, but couldn't correct the problem.
I have previously had little trouble figuring out how to get the monitor text in better alignment, but I can't get the same results this time around.  The tools just didn't seem to help.  Perhaps there's a specific setting in the monitor's own menu options that I missed.  I would appreciate it if you might offer a solution to this problem.

Hello @James47,
I understand that your HP 2709m Monitor is not displaying properly and your having issues getting it fixed. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. If it does I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Buying a used Mac - what to look out for

    I'm not really sure this should be in the MacBook Pro forum, but I had to put it somewhere.
    I'm considering buying a used Mac for my son. My daughter is using an old Aluminum PowerBook and when she gets older, I'll upgrade her as well. For my son the unit will be for mostly at home, so it doesn't need to be a laptop, but since laptops can basically be used as desktops as well, I'm posting here.
    What I want to know are any "gotcha's" that might not occur to me. For example, such and such types don't have particularly good battery life, the hard drive on this one is easy to change but not on that one. This one is known to have video problems but that one is great, etc.etc. Things to look out for or be aware of.
    I'm not adverse to buying old PPC based systems. Some of the old PowerMacs with G5 processors can be had for really, really low prices, but they're obviously limited to Leopard.
    This is a 10 year old boy, so I'm not going to spend a fortune on it. Kids will be kids, you know.
    Thoughts anyone?

    I assume you're ruling out completely all iBook G3's, right?
    If you got a butt kickin' PowerMac it might be quite a machine at quite a price. I've seen some G5 quad core's selling for as little as $100. With something that old, though, how long will it be before there's something like a power supply failure.
    Watch out for 17" iMac's from the 2006-2007 era. The displays have a tendency to develop vertical lines, and once they start doing it, it spreads like a disease across the display. WIth a unit like that you would have to use an external display and hide the original.
    Some of the earlier MacBooks had some battery issues and charging issues.
    I know for a fact that if you get a 2009 MacBook and put 4G of RAM into it you can comfortably run Mavericks. Of course if you read the posts of some of the people on this site they will claim you can ***never*** run Mavericks comfortably on anything. I'm not really sure what their problems are. You can pick one of these up for less than $200 for one in moderate shape to slightly over $200 for one in good shape.
    As with any laptop, check the battery out. On all systems check the HD and OD, especially the latter, to see if their working. I had to do a refurbishment/resell program on some of our older stuff and the ODs were bad in almost all of them. Thoroughly check the HD if the unit is a laptop or it's over 3 years old (just my advice).
    As far as PowerBooks, they're going to be too slow to handle any online video, but probably suitable enough for anything else. You can (I'm not joking) pick up a decent 12" model (1.33GHz, for example) for less than $70. You could also look at the 15" models but be wary of a problem some of them developed over time with RAM chips in a certain bank not being recognized.
    For reasons known only to God, old Titaniums are selling for more than Aluminum PowerBooks. I really wonder if people on eBay see the black Titanium keyboard on the metal base and think they're getting a new unit. Titaniums in good shape are a rarity because the hinges in the back liked to bust. They also ran hot enough to burn your legs. I'd steer clear of them.
    Most of the G4 iBooks we had and tested seemed OK. Some of the iMac G5s seem to be remarably solid. With the 2009 Intel iMac's (and maybe 2010 as well) you may need to be careful about the drive you install do to an unusual thermal monitoring setup.
    Well. That's if for me now.
    Later.

  • File Type Association is grayed out

    For some reason when I create RemoteApp program file type associations are grayed out even though uTorrent is associated with files on operating system level. Why entire list is grayed out?

    One thing that may not be clear from that blog post: when we calculate the list of file type associations that are available to be published, we must only look at what will be available to all users on the endpoint. In Windows, an app can be associated with
    a file type at the per-user level, or the per-machine level (from a technical point of view, the registry keys that tell Windows about the file type association can exist in either HKCU or HKLM). Since we must look at associations that will be available to
    all users, we cannot look at the associations only for specific users in HKCU and other per-user registry hives; we can only look at the file type associations in HKLM. Unfortunately, when you use the Windows UI to associate an app with a  file
    type, you are only modifying the per-user associations - so that will have no effect on what you can publish for a RemoteApp program.
    Most app installers will give an option to write their file type associations at a per-machine level - but if they don't, you may have to manually move the associations in the registry from HKCU to HKLM.
    Hope that helps,

  • Monitor looks like a negative

    My monitor looks like a negative. My text is white and the background is black. I looked through the system preferences to convert it back and can't seem to figure it out. I also looked through this website and couldn't find in any information. Can someone point me in the right direction.
    Thank You!
    Jeff

    laprete,
    You're Welcome!
    When you opened Universal System Preferences, you may have noticed the key combination that I posted, was displayed under Switch to White on Black, in key symbols.
    This KB Article Symbols for special keys, shows you what symbols correspond to which keys.
    You will see these symbols used in various other places as well. In the Finder contextual menus, for example. Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • Monitor looks red

    monitor looks all red, I tried another monitor before and that one looked yellow, do i have a problem with my videocard? I went to system preferences and tried all; also I tried the PRAM RESET but didn't work? the monitors seems to work fine in a mini mac that I have. I just recently installed the OSX tiger on it.

    Hi jaymarctx-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
    It could be the card. Are you absolutely sure that there is nothing wrong with the cable?
    You may want to try opening up the Mac, pull the video card out and then pressing it back in again to "reseat" it. While inside if there is any dust built up on the card or other parts you may want to clear that at the same time.
    Luck-

  • Monitor has weird, pixelated colors, but external monitor looks fine

    I have a MacBook Pro. It is a couple of years old. Recently the monitor started fritzing out. At first it would happen only happen when I ran windows through boot camp. A couple of days later, it began happening in os x too.The screen seems to be operating on a reduced amount of colors, a preponderance of green and everything is pixelated. There are blobby shaped circles of rainbow all over the desktop. Windows on top of the desktop look better, but still way too green and pixelated. All parts of the screen are equally bad. I tried changing all the settings in display. Also ran disc utility. The display on the external monitor looks fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Some MBP have bad nVidea graphics chips that can do wheat you describe, except it usually affects an external monitor as well. It's covered by a warranty extension program here:

  • Monitor looks posterized

    So my cat sat on my keyboard and he did something wierd, and I cant figure out how to undo it. My entire monitor looks like it is in negatve, or posterized- I dont even know what to call it. Everything, from the background image to the buttons, to every program opened, is not the color it should be. And when I go into appearance, it won't change anything. Or anything else I have tried.
    For example, this screen looks black with white writing and dark green tabs.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Jellolady,
    From your user profile, I see that you have a PowerBook. This section of the forums is for PowerMacs. It's best to post in the right section just in case your issue is a special PowerBook issue.
    I can fix this one for you, though. In system preferences, go into Universal Access. In there, you can toggle Black on White/White on Black to get back your appropriate settings.
    You cat went and sat on exactly the right key combination to operate a short cut that does exactly this - children are good at it too.
    Cheers!

  • Monitor says "Out of Range"

    G3 Beige tower OS9 Monitor message"out of range"Then goes black.Battery changed.Hoping for a miracle,I use this setup for music,Studio vision Pro.

    Hi, George -
    The 'out of range' message indicates that the resolution setting being read for the monitor is one the monitor can not handle. This can result from someone fiddling with the monitor resolution settings, or possibly from a damaged prefs file.
    Have you tried booting to a CD?
    If you're using OS 9 on that machine, try using an OS 9 Install CD as the boot volume. If it boots successfully using that, then try throwing away these two preference files -
        Display Preferences (located loose in Preferences in System Folder)
        Monitor Preferences (located in a folder by the same name in Preferences in System Folder)
    - and then do a restart, zapping the PRAM in the process.
    If that works, it should reset the resolution to either 600x480 or 800x600. You can then reset the resolution to what you usually keep it at, followed by a shutdown (the shutdown is necessary to transfer the setting to PRAM).
    Occasionally the problem can exist in the monitor - some of those, especially CRT types, can have their own PRAM, and it can get bollixed or retain the wrong info. If your monitor has separate power and video cables, you can try resetting the PRAM in the monitor itself. To do this, power everything down, disconnect the video cable from the Mac. Then turn the monitor on, wait 15 to 20 seconds, then turn it off; wait about 10 seconds, then repeat the cycle, 3 or 4 times. Then reconnect the video cable and boot back up.

  • Titles Move Out of Register – Upon Render

    I have a project I am using some basic trasitions and some titles. The title I am using is feature. I have moved some different titles to the 4 corners of the screen. When I do a fast render, the title stay predictably in place. When I render at different sizes (1080) or out to DVD, the titles render shifted down on the screen or even off screen. (the title in the top right corner renders off the left side of the screen in the center). I don't understand why the different rendering sizes effect the position of the titles. The only thing I can relate this situation to is in Adobe flash, when the registration point in a movie clip is out of register, it causes the movie to display out of register.
    Has anyone experience anything like this? Is there a fix?

    I'm going to try to make an educated guess as to what is happening, and offer a suggestion...
    I work a lot with Motion.
    Since Motion 5 was "completely rewritten" for 64-bit processing and as the effects design tool for FCPX, Apple changed a number of "core" items related to positioning. This positioning redesign is based on 0, 0 as the coordinate of the center of the canvas. Every other point in the canvas is given as a fractional value between -0.5 and 0.5 either horizontally or vertically. This assures that no matter which template frame size a Motion template is designed in, say for example 1920x1080, that the mathmatical translation of the design will fall on the correct part of no matter what the frame size OR aspect ratio is... so, if you're working on a 720x480 SD project and use a template designed for 1080, the objects in the template will be arranged at whatever the fractional distance is from the center to the edge of the project, when the user places the effect(/etc.) in the storyline...  Based on this, I would guess that your problem would be "normal" behavior for FCPX (doesn't seem fair...)
    Which brings me to your project. You are using a 1080 project and rendering out at different sizes. Those titles and transitions are using the project proportions and distances from the center to determine where to place those items that belong with them.
    So my suggestion, I'm sorry to have to say, would be to go out the Project level and duplicate the project. Resize* the project for the destination output rendering and take a look at the positionings of the titles, etc. and see if they need adjustments. If you need to "clean" any of them up -- wherever you place the objects shouild at least render accurately after you make your "repairs." There is a chance that FCPX will do a reasonably good job in working the scaling adjustments once the new project parameters are established... so, I hope you have good luck with that.
    [* select the project and below the  inspector,  you should see a wrench icon. Clicking on the wrench will pop up a Video Properties dialog.]

  • How movement type is determine in out bound delivery?

    Hello,
    (1) I want to know, how movement type is determine in out bound delivery (item detail --->Administration tab).
      If I want to make a setting of customer return, then where can I assign movement type 451 so that it will appear in OBD?
    (iii) Please provide me the path of setting of SD document category ex- J,7 etc (Which appears in T-code OVLP)
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    M type (Tcode OMJJ) is determine into the Delv doc on the bases of Sch line Cat(Tcode VOV6)  maintain in your sales order's item level .
    The relevant Sch line Cat is determined into sales order on the bases (tcode VOV5 of
    I Cat + MRP type (if any) .
    And the I cat is determined into sales order based on (tcode VOV4)
    Sales Doc. Type + Item cat.group (determined from material Master) + Item usage (if any) + ItemCat-HgLvItm (if any).
    The std sch line cat for Return is 651.
    If you want to have 451 as M  type for your material then copy std sch line cat DN and maintain 'Z' Sch Line cat with your M Type.
    And determine the same to your I Cat for return in return sale order.
    Before executing your process cycle have a look/check on copying control config for Return Order to Delv in Tcode VTLA.
    Hope this can assist you.

  • Type I or Type II monitors

    I was looking at the 23" Apple Monitor for use with Photoshop and other photo related programs, but someone said that the Apple monitor is a Type I monitor and that Type II monitors are better for photo work? Anyone familiar with this and able to explain the difference or know if Apple is planning on doing a Type II monitor.
    Craig

    There was a post a while back that discussed this topic. Apparently there are different grades of lcd panels. Apple does not use Grade A (apparent in the number of dead pixels users have posted about in these forums). If I remember correctly, Apple uses the same grade panels as does Dell, i.e., grade B, and higher end displays, e.g. Eizo, NEC, Sun, etc., use grade A.
