Why is native resolution not shown HDMI?

Hi,
Just bought a new mac mini, connected to Samsung 932MW via HDMI cable.  Can't choose native 1400x900 - not available.  Display looks unclear.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Chris

I just downloaded your model's user manual; it is from 2007 and all the resolutions shown are 4:3; there is no HD or widescreen (16:9). So, the 1440x900 is 4:3 and these are part of my choices in System Prefs (but this is on a 2010 27" iMac:
And yours is a monitor, not a TV - correct?

  • BENQ FP241W on Retina Macbook Pro - native resolution not supported?

    Hi there,
    I have tried connecting my BENQ FP241W monitor to my new Macbook Pro with retina display via HDMI.
    The monitor appears to be displaying at only 1600x900 and looks very blurry since the native resolution of the monitor is 1920x1200. I have actually tried this with an older 2009 model macbook pro and the same thing happend, although I was using a dispaly port to HDMI adaptor and never investigated further to the reason the native resolution was not supported.
    Going back to the Retina Macbook and the BENQ FP241W. It gives the following resolution options for scaled: 1080p, 1080i and 1600x900. When I choose 1080p or 1080i it looks the same as 1600x900 i.e very blury and not even close to the sharpness that is capable of the display - true 1080p should look sharper than how it looks selected so I dont believe it is actually displaying 1080p. It also has the option for 'best for display' which I would expect it to show native resolution of 1920x1200 - unfortunately it still apears to be 1600x900.
    Can anyone help me out? Is this a driver issue or something else?
    Thanks
    Rich

    I can sort this out by just using a HDMI > DVI cable which works fine. I think there must just be an issue with the BenQ HDMI input supporting 1920x1200. Its annoying because the screen is also connected to a PC workstation by DVI so it would be good to have the HDMI for the Macbook so I can quickly switch the display by pressing a button instead of having to unplug cables...

  • LCD native resolution not available in system preferences

    I need to set my resolution to 1680 x 1050 and that resolution is not vailable. I have a original G4 Mac Mini with Tiger. The monitor has dual inputs for both VGA and DVI, sometimes it will work with the VGA input but not consistantly.
    I need to use the DVI input now to leave the VGA input free for my KVM.
    I have tried Zapping my PRAM multiple times, starting the Mini with the monitor unplugged, swapping between the DVI and VGA inputs on the LCD monitor, and swapping between my old CT monitor and the new LCD. None of this works.
    The LCD always detects as "LCD Display".
    I have been unable to find information on where the monitor resolutions are stored, one thing which I would have liked to try would be manually editing the file to the correct resolution.
    What else can I try?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Brian, sorry about your issue- it's frustrating isn't it? The file you need to edit is in system > library > frameworks > IOKit.frameworks > Versions > A > Resources, and it's called IOGraphicsProperties.plist. If you activate the root user temporarily using the NetInfo Manager, you can edit the file with textedit, save it to the desktop, then drag it into the Resources folder to replace. When you look in the file, you'll see the following:
    <key>gtf-resolutions</key>
    <array>
    <integer>640</integer>
    <integer>800</integer>
    <integer>1024</integer>
    <integer>1280</integer>
    <integer>50332928</integer>
    <integer>67110144</integer>
    <integer>1344</integer>
    <integer>1400</integer>
    <integer>1600</integer>
    <integer>1920</integer>
    <integer>2304</integer>
    </array>
    <key>gtf-resolutions-wide</key>
    <array>
    <integer>640</integer>
    <integer>800</integer>

    <integer>67110144</integer>

    <integer>1600</integer>
    <integer>1920</integer>
    <integer>2304</integer>
    I had the same problem as you. I bought an Acer 22" widescreen, with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, which wasn't "available" in the displays control panel. After some swearing and lamenting the olden days in OS9 when you could just willy nilly see all the resolutions, i added my resolution the this file and it showed up in the control panel. You'll have to monkey with it to see how it works, but basically you're going to add another 'integer' line, like so:
    <integer>1680</integer>
    If this is too hairy for you, or just too much trouble, i highly recommend SwitchRes. It works perfectly for this problem, and you can input the specifications for your monitor exactly and it will install the resolution so that it's available to the system. Its cheap too.
    good luck to you!

  • External Samsung 2443BW native resolution not listed

    I have a 2007 24" iMac to which I have just added a Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW external monitor on the mini DVI interface. The Mac finds the monitor fine but the preferences panel only shows available resolutions up to 1680 x 1050 at 59.9 Hz rather than the 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz which is native for the hardware and the same as the iMac panel. I am using the Apple DVI to VGA adapter for hookup and am running this on the analogue input (VGA) to the monitor. I have swapped the VGA cable with a known good one to no effect. Any suggestions fro how to proceed would be welcome. The extended desktop that is desired is usable at the lower resolution but the display is well below it's potential since it is running below native resolution. Thanks for any help offered
    John

    Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:

    Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.

  • Why is some text not shown after merging multiple documents

    One of my clients is using Adobe Acrobat XI and they are merging multiple PDF documents (up to 1000 single PDF's!) to create one big PDF document.
    But somehow just some parts of the text are not shown after the merging (it is actually still there because you can copy and paste it in to Word and you will see it again)?
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Wunold van Drunen,
    Since you have identified the problematic pages, have you checked if the issue occurs with the same pdf when merged with a smaller number may be 10 pdfs.
    How are these pdfs created? It might be possible that the said document's pdf structure is incorrect.
    You may want to sanitize the said pdf's before combining and check.

  • Why JPanel loaded is not shown up immediately???

    Dear Friends:
    I have a JPane to dynamically load other different JPanel at run time according to My click on different Tab, but my problem is that when I click the each diff Tab, the JPanel loaded is not shown up immediately,
    I must minimize whole application, then restore back to its original size, the loaded JPanel will show up,
    I used repaint() at the end of each loading, but did not take effect,
    How to solve this problem??
    Thanks

    After add or removing components from a panel on a visible GUI you need to revalidate() the panel, so the LayoutManager can be invoked.

  • Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

    Dear,
    I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
    The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
    Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
    I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
    Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
    Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
    Regard,

  • Why does Screen Resolution NOT offer orientation option?

    This HP OMEN gaming laptop is the first PC I've owned (out of maybe a dozen) that doesn't offer orientation options on the Screen Resolution screen. Even the "help" thinks it should be there. I've searched for hours by now, wanting to avoid having to ask what should be so simple. For a seperate issue, I updated my graphics driver approximately 7/05/15. That issue was successfully resolved, so I know the update "took". Can't find it in any of the Nvidia choices either. SO many programs presume it to be available, many have stopped offering it within the program settings. Ideas, please? Thank you.

    I took out the modules in mkinitcpio.conf, took off all the kernel additions, and borrowed a monitor from a different computer in the house.  Everything says this should work, so i figured the TV may be the problem.  It is.  I had the TV hooked up with my Nvidia card on the old machine, and it worked perfectly.  It did add fan noise, so I wanted to be rid of it if possible. 
    With the new monitor, it works perfectly.  lsmod shows the i915 module loaded.  Hook it back up to the TV (which is DVI to HDMI), nothing.  This is some other issue, I think, so I'm marking this one solved.
    Note:  The SVIDEO line was wrong; a re-read of the archwiki page on KMS showed me that the line needs to be formatted as follows:
    The format is: video=<conn>:<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"["i"]"[m][eDd]
    so the line should have been video=DVD-D:etc, rather than video=SVIDEO:etc
    Quotation marks above aren't really there; I can't figure out how to get a square bracket i to work without them; the forum kicks me an error.

  • Why recent searches are not shown in safrari on iOS 6

    When safari opens a new tab and you tap on the search box, we are used to seeing recent search information.
    Since Ios6 this feature seems faulty. The search box will only show recent searches after tapping onto the blank page, which means three taps to see your recent searches.
    Tap 1, new tab
    Tap 2, onto blank area of page
    Tap 3, search box now shows recent data
    Very frustrating.

    Depending on how you configured OBIA, there can be many reasons why some tables dont get loaded. For example, what subject areas did you configure, which tasks are enabled..etc. What exactly is your problem? Is there a specific table that you need that did not get loaded? If so..you can check in the DAC to see if the tasks that load this table actually ran as part of the execution plan. If they ran and the table is empty..you can dig further into the Informatica logs to see why nothing was loaded. There are a number of possible reasons.

  • Why are my movies not shown in iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini and have updated all the software etc to the latest versions.
    The problem I am having is that in the Leopard Movie folder I have all of my TV Shows and Films but the do not show up in the movie tab in iTunes, if i want it to be displayed there I have to copy the file to my iTunes folder, copying the film and making the Movie folder in finder pointless.
    I also have a PC with iTunes and it allows me to point to any folder that i have movie content in, even on different drives and it is all shown in iTunes, surely there is a way to do this on a Mac?
    Otherwise what's the point of having separate media folders in Leopard if itunes does not scan them for content?
    All help greatly appreciated.

    What do you mean? Please be more specific.

  • HT4623 why is software update not shown in settings on my ipad?

    I'm trying to update my ipad for ios 5 and cannot find "software update" under settings, general. Any idea why?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why recent items are not shown in notification center (only unchecked appear)?

    Hi guys,
    in notification center (ios 5 iphone 4s) I am able to view only uncheck notification, as unread mail or tweet, events programmed for the next day and so on. It seems strange becouse in setting-->notification center--> you can choose:
    1,5,10 unread message for mail and
    1,5,10 recent items for other apps.
    does anybody know how to make appear recent item in notification center? or should I suppouse that recent items mean unchecked items?
    ps: and there's also no notification in notification center for facebook. did anybody fix it?

    No, it does not add that reference.
