Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

See you soon.

  • Problems to project a PowerPoint presentation (2015) for external monitor/screen/projector

    I have a problem with PowerPoint presentations (2015) on my MacBook Air (Early 2015). When I go to the slide show-> game start, or when I click on the shortcut at the bottom of my document presentation button, I get the speaker on my mac book but not slideshow on the external display. My background image appears on the external display. If the computer and the monitor are communicating properly. My computer is selected as the control view. When I go to slide show-> Set up show, the external monitor is selected for display. The only way I can find a way show presentation is to select 'Swap poster' view of the presenter, and then go to the external display and select monitors swap to switch back. Another weird thing. If I mouse over the slide in the main presentation while in speaker on my laptop (none other than the background on the external screen image), the presentation gets confused and attempted to show the screen of the speaker AND presentation both on my laptop. Help! PowerPoint presentation is an important part of my work, and it gets really annoying.

    Thank you for all the ideas/solutions!

    I had the same problem for two days with two different projectors; a NEC and Epson. The only way I could make it work was starting up in 10 Windows via Parallels and the opening presentation. Everything works fine through Windows 10. I hope that Apple will release a fix soon! I don't like to run Windows, any more than I absolutely have to.

    When I open a tab/icon on my computer is much too large for my screen and I can't use my computer; 3 boxes at the top right corner with the-, square and X are too far to the right to do anything. How can I fit on my screen, so I can use my computer?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    This problem is limited to any icon or it happens with all?

    Did you change to the computer?

    I suggest to refer to the following methods and check to see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Install the latest display driver and check

    Uninstall the driver from Device Manager display.

    a. close all programs. This will ensure that the programs do not interfere with the update of the driver.
    b. right-click on my computer, and then click Properties. This will bring you from the System Properties menu.

    c. click Device Manager
    d. expand the display column of cards by clicking on them. This will show the graphical current map that is using your computer.
    e. right click on the adapter, then select Properties.
    f. click on the driver tab. This tab displays information about the current driver, as well as options to update, delete, uninstall, and back the driver.
    g. click on uninstall
    h. restart the computer

    You can install the latest display driver for download on the site of computer manufacturing, same driver will reinstall automatically after the restart, if the computer is connected to the Internet.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you try the system restore. Restore the system to a restore point when your computer was working fine

    You can also check the Device Manager to see if the video card has a yellow exclamation on it with an error any:

  • iMac 21.5 k for 2nd display screen resolution

    Hi, I currently have an iMac 21.5 with 4 k display. I have a second monitor connected via a Mini display to VGA. My 2nd screen has the ability to 1920 x 1080 (which is the best option), however, when I select this option, it pushes the screen to the right by 5cm, it's why I don't get the full use of the desktop computer. My second monitor is LCD, widescreen 21.5. Has anyone had this problem and managed to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To see all the options for resolution, open system preferences, and then select display. There are two options: default and scaled. Click Scaled while keeping the option key and you will see all available resolutions. You may find that there is more than one 1920 x 1080 option (at different frequencies). Try a different setting.

  • Smaller with the 2511 X HP monitor screen HDMI cable?

    Hi people, I have a desktop HP p6230f, Windows 7 64-bit o/s and a GPU ATI Radeon HD 5770. I had no problem with it until last night. Finally, I changed my DVI cable connecting the monitor to the computer during an HDMI cable.

    I have a picture of a 1 "wide black on three of the four sides of the screen! For example; If I drag an icon on my desktop or one of the items in my sidebar to the outer edges of the screen, they begin to disappear behind a blackened by the section of the frame of the screen about 1 "of the actual plastic mount that make up the structure of the entire screen!

    Now that 1 "size approximate but the width of the glass of the monitor is 21 3/4 but I can get about 20" of the real, usable, the screen display and 12 1/4 inches monitor glass vertically measured I can get about 11 1/8 inches of usable display! This means that I get less of 23 "usable display when measured diagonally.

    I already checked the monitor to the HDMI settings and I don't see nothing wrong in the settings of Windows 7. I'm about to reinstall the driver for the monitor, but I seriously doubt that will work.

    Also, I noticed that all my fonts and size of my desktop icons are smaller than they were before the change. I know how to enlarge them all but the problem is that they seem to keep back to the small size when I shut down the computer and start it back up.

    Now, it is possible that the problem is not related to the HDMI cord and I'm only note this 1 "black frame on each side and the top of my screen for other reasons unrelated to the monitor HDMI cable.

    So yes, I'll reinstall the DVI cable and see if that makes a difference, but even if it does, my question is; Why this would happen when connected to the HDMI cord, (I will also check the drivers of the HD 5770)

    Thank you

    HAH! It wasn't my imagination! Just when I was about to throw in the towel and admit that I was imagining all this and he went even to pull demand for assistance on the site I found the problem.

    For those who can run in this one day in the future, the resolution is in the "AMD Vision Engine Control Center" . I had lost my settings because I got an error of starting due to my inability to follow directions on a USB HUB, I added to the system last night*.

    On the left of this Panel of the user is a number of adjustments, you can do on a good many things involving graphs including the monitor you are using. Just click on the box entitled 'My digital flat screens' and Tin the drop-down list, click on "Options of scaling (Digital Flat Panel).

    You will see a slider that lets you adjust the scale yourself, or you can put a check in the box and have done automatically. If you use the cursor like I did, drag it over to the full adjustment right up to '0% overscan. As you do that you will see on the screen grow to fill the entire display window, (every 25 inches diagonal of it).

    That's all! Click "Apply" and you're done. This issue is resolved.

    ** (that's another story, but the short of it is that you do not want to add devices to the HUB USB FRONT that the new hub will load its drivers!).

  • Need for external monitor for Portege R500

    The screen on the R500 (PPR50E-01301TEN) is fine for a use for an hour or two on the go, but if I use it constantly throughout the day, I get a bad neck and headache (perhaps the angle that you have to look as far as its small size). So I want to get the external monitors for her at work and at home. Home preference would be an LCD TV.

    The problem is Windows tells me that the screen resolutions supported for the external monitor is 1280 x 768, 1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 1200. Linux wants to offer me 1280 x 800 or below, although I might be able to fix this with a little tweaking. Assuming that Windows is right, does anyone know of a 18-21 "wide screen monitor or a TV with one of the resolutions supported as its native resolution, or even a resolution supported? I can't find something.

    It should probably be 1920x1xxx, 1280 x 768 will be quite grainy close up on a 18 "+ monitor." Why aren't all common intermediate resolutions on the monitors (1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050) supported? If he can do 1920x1xxx, he should be able to make them.

    As much as I know duplicator can not improve things. This external device just flow through the signal from the computer laptop itself.

    What resolution do you need for your monitor?
