W540 - Screen Sharpness of IE vs Chrome

Anyone notice that IE 11.x is VERY SHARP, text, images, etc, but Chrome is fuzzy?  I've not tried Firefox....
There must be something odd in my settings of Chrome.  Any comment??

Hey Bauden,
You can track the issue here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=149881&can=5&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Iteration%20...
Chrome becomes fuzzy once I have DPI scaling above 200%.  There is a partial workaround involving a setting in chrome://flags/ but it is not a full solution.  The UI chrome is shrunk and you'll have to manually zoom in on the page.

    Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Problems with getting 2nd screen sharp

    Dear everyone!
    Not too long ago I've bought myself a Macbook Pro 15 inch (version 10.7.3) and with it I also got myself a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (by Moshi).
    After I got those I also got myself a HDMI-cable to connect my MBP to my Samsung tv (1080p full HD).
    After getting the 2 connected and inserting the right variables (resolution to 1080p)(frequency to 60 hz), also tried to change the settings of the TV itselft but the screen is just VERY blurry, not sharp at all.
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Or am I missing something important ? Some help would be greatly appriciated.

    On the Samsung TV bring up the Source List and highlight HDMI1/DVI.  Click the Tools button on the remote and select Edit Name and set the name to DVI PC.

  • Screen Sharpness.

    I have a problem that I can't accurately describe. The colours of my laptop screen seem...Dull for lack of a better word. They're not very sharp in comparison to my Xubuntu install, and in fact the entire image seems to feel stretched. I can only assume i've somehow misconfigured my Xorg.conf.

    I was wondering if someone with a little more experience than me could have a glance over it for any obvious problems.
    Thanks.

    Update:
    Out of lack of ideas of what to do, I remade my Xorg.conf file using hwd. It remade and used the vesa driver instead of the intel one i've been using. Using the Vesa driver removed the problem of a stretched and un-sharp (for lack of a better term) image, but added the problem of two large black bars down either side of the screen, so I switched back to intel.
    So I've pretty much ruled out a misconfigured Xorg.conf
    The problem might lie in the driver, but I doubt it. The Arch Wiki seems to have got it working fine before. (But gives little detail other than "Works with xf86-video-intel-2.0.")
    What else could it possibly be? I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure it out. Maybe my Desktop Environment, LXDE?

  • W540 Screen problem

    I just got my w540 today and found out the screen bezzel is not attached to the screen tightly, I shot a video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVOUo5sm9Rg&feature=youtu.be 
    is it just me or everybody got the same problem?

    I have the same issue, but the screen works OK, and unlike some other forum members, I do not have any bleed through of the back light..  The light appear even, so I am blessed  This was mentioned by some reviewers as a difference from previous Thinkpads.
    Like yours, my screen bellows in the center, up and away from the chassis, and flexes. Albeit, the bezel seems tight on mine and does not easily pry out.  Maybe you need to press in, to snap the tabs.
    Most likely the engineers made the flexing on purpose, so as to avoid possible cracking, akin to the design of cars to absorb shock.  It's a great design feature.  Witness the new flexible cell phone.  It's a state of the art design.

  • W540: Screen always at maximum brightness after instaling update from September 2 2014

    After I installed the "Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphical Adapter WDDI1.2, ..." dated September 2 2014 using Windows Update, the screen on my W540 has permanently remained at maximum brightness and reducing/adjustning brightness can neither be done using the keyboard buttons nor the panel under Windows 8.1 Update 1. The only thing I could do was to rollback the driver using the Device Manager, but then Miracast does not work anymore.
    Do some of you experience the same problem and have you found a suitable solution for it?

    I have encountered this problem as well. First, you have to download the latest Optimus graphics driver. Then go to add/remove programs and remove all nVidia applications and the Intel graphics driver (don't do anything with device manager). Restart the computer, and then install from that file you downloaded. Restart again and it should be working.
    You pretty much have to use Lenovo's drivers since you are running optimus. Never manually update either the Intel or nVidia or you will encounter problems like the brightness control.

  • What's the best for green screen filter  Color Key or Chroma key?

    What is the difference, and what is the best choice for a person standing in front of a green screen.
    Color Key or Choma key?
    Which offers the most solutions for dealing with variations in the green background, such as occasional wrinkles/seams in the fabric.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    I did mean Adobe Ultra or previously Serious Magic Ultra. I have no personal experience with Primatte, but have heard very positive reports. For relatively simple work with a good green/blue screen, which is properly lighted and not too much wrinkles, Ultra is easy, fast and effective, but it pays to have a look at the tutorials on how to setup a proper key. When you have rather bad lighting on the screen, Keylight is better and adds more flexibility, but is harder to master than Ultra. It also lacks the MSL (Master Set Libraries) capabilities of Ultra, but if you have never used Ultra before, you may be hard pressed to find any of the MSL's from the Serious Magic era around. Adobe has apparently stopped selling those, apart from the basic one which is included with Ultra. Maybe Karl Soule or Mark Mapes, previous Serious Magicians, can shed some light on the future of Ultra in the Adobe portfolio.

  • Two finger touch-screen scrolling not working in Chrome?

    This seems fine in IE, can anyone confirm this so I know it's not just my setup?
    Trackpad scrolling is fine in both, just the touchscreen scrolling not workingin Chrome for me.

    The application has to decide whether to support that gesture or not.  You would probably need to find a Chrome forum and ask there.  I found the below link after a quick search.  Sorry I can't help more with this issue.

  • Full Screen with Firefox and Chrome

    Whenever I watch a video in sull screen with either Firefox or Chrome, there will be a blank black space on the right of the screen and my mouse cursor will be off. I don't have a problem with Explorer and I ddn't have any problems with Flash Player 9. The problem with Flash Player 9 is there are a bunch of videos online that require Flash Player 10.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks very much,

    Try disabling Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337), or update the device drivers of your graphics adapter.

  • Green screen appears when I freeze frame chroma key video footage

    I need to create a jpg/still image of the video I am producing. The video was shot with a green screen and edited with the chroma key effect and looks fine - but when I "Make a Freeze Frame" the green screen reappears in the image. Help!?

    That should not happen.
    Even if your sequence is unrendered or the clip wth the chroma key is selected on the timeline, it will normally export correctly.
    Next step...
    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.

  • Green Screen, Chroma Keyer, and Keying

    I did some short green screen recordings for a small project with different backgrounds dubbed in.  The lighting is good, the green screen is set up accurately with no wrinkles, shadows, etc.  It is just one person sitting on a stool with a green screen behind. With the chroma keyer filter, I have got the image to look fairly good when viewing any selected frame.  The problem is, when I play it back the borders/edges around the individual blink and twitch dramaticall.  Moving the softening up seems to fix this problem, but I have to move it up so much that it starts to deteriate the individual, so this does not work. I just wanted to see if I could get any ideas, or even some basic tips that I might be forgetting.
    I know keying is a process that takes years to fully understand, but this seems to be the one common obstacle that I keep running into...

    When you light for green screen, you are really lighting two sets.  You ought to be able to turn off the light on the talent with no effect on the screen and vice versa.  The biggest mistake people make is having the talent too close to the screen-- which results in green light bouncing back onto the talent and creating what you are seeing.
    One way to lessen this is to use a backlight on the talent with a magenta filter.  That'll negate a great deal of the green spill.

    Joey, welcome to the forum.
    Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome?  Sometimes a glitch will occur during the original install.  This can cause the problem that you are experiencing.
    Also, you may want to try Internet Explorer or Firefox to see if you receive the same error message.  This will tell you if it is a problem with Chrome or a system problem.

  • Can't scroll through PDF in an inactive window/can't email from Chrome

    I've been using the built-in Chrome PDF viewer up to this point.  I changed over to the Adobe Viewer plugin because it allows me to email the PDF directly from the browser window/tab while the Chrome viewer does not.  However, it seems I've traded one feature for another...  With the Chrome PDF viewer, I could move the tab containing the PDF into its own window on a separate screen, click on a text field in another window, put the cursor back on the PDF (without clicking) and scroll through it with the mouse wheel while SIMULTANEOUSLY typing in a text field in the original Chrome tab. Basically, the cursor just sits on the PDF window, scroll when I need to and I type in another window.  However, when I activate the Adobe Reader plugin, I can no longer do this; I have to click on the PDF within the new Chrome tab, scroll, then click on the text field on the other Chrome field.  It may not sound like a big deal, but I am sifting through literally thousands of documents a day looking for specific information then documenting that information on another screen, so being able to type and scroll without the constant back-and-forth clicking is extremely helpful. I've tried dozens of seemingly related options in Adobe Reader, but I cannot find any combination of settings in Documents, General, Page Display or Internet that yield the desired result.
    The flip side of my dilemma, as hinted in the beginning, is that I need the ability to email PDFs directly from the browser without saving it to the computer (i.e., the email icon on the Reader toolbar opens an Outlook email window).  As best as I can tell, there is no way to do that with the built-in Chrome PDF viewer and thus I switched to the Adobe Reader. 
    Ultimately, I don't care whether I wind up with Reader that allows the scrolling functions that I desire or Chrome Viewer that allows me to email, though I'd prefer to just stick with the Chrome PDF viewer if that's possible.
    Help and suggestions are appreciated!

    Thanks, for responding, Pat.
    Win7 Professional and Adobe Reader 11.0.07, plugin version 11.0.07.79
    I'll try to clarify the problem.
    On screen one I have a Chrome window open with data fields and a list of links that take me to PDFs.  On screen two I have another Chrome window open; when I click on the PDF links on screen one, the PDF opens on screen two. (1) I move the cursor to one of the text fields on screen one and start typing. (2) I then move the cursor (without clicking) over to screen two and using the mouse wheel, scroll down in the document.  (3) Next, I continue typing in the text field on screen one - again, my cursor is still on screen two, having just scrolled down. (4) I'll then scroll some more and (5) continue typing in the text field on screen 1, open a new PDF and repeat. Again, the issue Adobe Reader plugin causes is that it creates extra steps between 1 & 2 (I have to click on the PDF to scroll), 2 & 3 (I have to move the cursor back to screen one and click in the text field), 3 & 4 (I have to move the cursor back to the PDF and click again to scroll), etc. etc. 

  • Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

    I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
    Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
    I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
    In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
    I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
    I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!
    Jay from the Bronx

    I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
    I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
    Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
    I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
    I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.
