External ultra wide screen not working not not on MBP 15

Hello - Ok, I spent a ridiculous amount of time on it so I hope that someone has had this problem before.

We have a few that ultrawide poster here and each one has a resolution of 2560 x 1080. We also have a couple 13 '' Macbook pro 15. They do not seem to get along well.

Symptom1: When plugged into the ultra wide monitors via HDMI, the resolution is 2560 x 1080 native, but this is horrible... text is blurry, the colours are strange, just terrible.

Symptom2: If connect us via Thunderbolt monitors in a Dual Link DVI cable, image is more neat and clean, but OS X allows only a max of 1920 x 1080 resolution.

More information: this happens on all of our ultra screens wide. When plug us these screens on a pc, it is literally plug and play. These aren't the high-end computers in the slightest... much cheaper than our Mbps.

Anyone run into this and you could provide guidance?

Thank you!

  • 21:9 (2560 x 1080) ultra wide screen Macbook Air does not work after macOS Sierra

    I have a problem with my LG 29UM58.-p.

    After the installation of macOS Sierra Switchresx (4.5.3) isn't my custom resolution 2560 x 1080 more. I already tried to uninstall Switchresx and took new custom resolutions, but it did not help... First of all, it did not save my custom resolutions and then he said no "installed" or "active - invalid? Also, someone said if you made an additional account on your mac and then define custom resolutions, you can then use it in your normal macaccount, but he also didn't work...

    I tried (almost) everything... before the update of the software it was working fine.  Oh and also I use HDMI to mini displayport.

    Could someone help me out here?

    Thank you very much!

    Hey man, same here. That I'm going through exactly the same thing here. I have a MacBook Air from 2013 and just bought the exact same display. I'm on MacOS Sierra.

  • Software monitors ultra-wide desperately need to change!

    I just bought 2 x U2913WM. I must say they are very good (I need a lot of space on the screen for my work and I used 3 monitors to cover what I need, the 2 ultra-wides do same work as the 3 regular monitors for me). I must say that Dell has done a very good job by jumping into this trend. I'm almost happy. There is however a small problem and I hope that Dell will fix it up soon (given that it's very new range of monitors and hard to get the stock to the United Kingdom-, I waited 2 weeks to receive). The question is in ease of use. Obviously a normal person cannot use such a wide screen as a regular monitor (most of the time, for me it is 99% of the time) - when you need a few windows on the same screen and you would not bother to try adjust sizes whenever you jump a high window - to keep do not overlap and beautiful and tidy... Right... This is the display Dell Manager... It was a great job for you help organize your desktop. You can pin your windows in small spaces of customizable virtual display... Which is what is needed! However, there is a hiccup I want Dell to resolve as soon as possible... The problem is that whenever you take a window of the header - display Manager starts working and there is no way to avoid once the window is caught. So - you can not move a window without being pinned as soon as you release (maximized in the closest of the virtual screen). It's _very_ counterproductive because there are a lot of small windows that must remain the size they are, and if you want to move them they must leave with this size... I would like that someone from Dell support to spread my comments to team development as soon as possible. I don't know that this can be resolved very easily (for example if you add a keyboard stokes in this image, you can simply have for example Ctrt + Window_Grab to mean - do not pin the window etc.). I use Windows 7 x 64. Thank you

    Now try the SHIFT key while dragging the window.

  • T232HL touch screen not working not not - something different

    Several months ago the touch part of the screen stop working (Windows 7 SP1), although the screen itself works well. I lived all the Acer and Microsoft and testing solutions suggested with no luck. Initially after the touchscreen to quit smoking, Windows couldn't find the USB drivers for the part of the touch screen of this monitor. Then after several months, he found a 'CoolTouch (TM) system"pilot for the HID Composite device and Windows now shows that the touch screen is-button entry with 10 Touch Points available Changing the settings of Pen and Touch have no effect. It seems that Microsoft-provided USB drivers have been changed and now are not available for my system, because it will load the wrong drivers when the USB cable is connected. Anyone out there have any idea of what is happening?

    It seems that I received a gift - Christmas the Acer touchscreen mysteriously started working again. I note that the current touchscreen features are very different from the originals, which suggests either Microsoft or Acer have streamlined the entire pilot, corrected the problem and that the drivers now only support standard features of Microsoft. I hope that this continuous touch screen to work correctly, and that whoever is behind the scene screwing with this software will be a bit more diligent in the future.

  • External monitor adapter does not

    Hello

    I recently encountered a problem with my external monitor adapter. It worked very well until all monitors I put seeing flashes and the screen goes black. I tried to make all combinations of display configuration but the screen is still blank. When I plug the cable into the adapter, the monitor can receive a signal on my external VGA adapter, but cannot display anything (means when my external monitoris not connect it to any vga, it displays "Cable not connected", but when I attach my external adapter, the message disappears). Any suggestion to this problem? Is there a technician of Lenovo in this forum who can help me because I tried calling support, but I'm a stranger. I need to know if it can be fixed by formatting of Vista. Either way, my machine is a Lenovo Y410.

    Thank you

    Check the cable or re-install the graphics card drivers.

  • Toshiba ph3100u-1exb external Hard Drive will not stay On

    Hi all.

    I recently bought a Toshiba ph3100u-1exb 1.0 TB external hard drive. It works fine, but the problem that I am running is that it does not stay on for more than a few minutes. I don't know that its a kind of function, but if there is a way to turn it off, energy saving, I would have the accessible reader at all times, I use the information stored on it a little.

    When he died, I can always press the power button to bring it up, but I would like to have it on all the time. Is it at all possible to do? A setting on the drive, or even within Windows?

    I have the player hooked up through a USB cable, this PC is a little older and does not use for hard drives-eSATA cables.

    Hello

    In my opinion, the HARD drive must be checked with different computers and different OS (Vista, Win 7, Win XP). If the external HARD disk doesn't work using different systems and computers then it s definitely a HARD drive problem.

    I have 2 different external drives a HARD drive died and I had to replace it.
    In my opinion, if a HARD drive starts to malfunction then it s mostly a hardware related issue and there is nothing to replace the defective drive

  • Drive external HARD USB will not access the files correctly on Satellite A100-033

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN), running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
    I have a Western Digital passport external hard drive, which has no power source, because it pulls its power via the USB port.

    Sometimes the player works fine, but I often have huge problems to access files on the drive. Opening a folder can make Windows to hang.

    Open an audio file or a Word can do Word or audio software crash. Copy files often fails and in the process can make the Explorer Windows stop working.

    Recently I tried to copy a 33MB file from the external hard drive to my laptop, and while he did it took more than an hour. So many things can happen, none of them pleasant.

    Problems can occur if the external drive is the only device connected to a USB (apart from an external mouse, I always use), or if the external hard drive is one of a number of devices plugged into my laptop - either separately or through a USB hub (powered or unpowered).

    Anyone know what is happening and how I can make my USB external drive usable? I have two other external drives (powered by their own power source) and they work perfectly.

    Why, most of the time, do drive limp along so badly that they are virtually unusable?

    Hello

    One thing is clear; the problem is definitely related to the external HARD drive and not the laptop. It seems that this problem still occurs if the HD has been connected.

    It of really difficult to say what could be wrong with your external HARD drive
    Maybe HARD drive sectors are corrupt, and therefore you can not open folders and some files stored on the HARD drive.

    Have you tried to format the HARD drive? Check this box and try to save and re-open cases.

    In the worst case that the external HARD drive has a hardware malfunction

  • HP Envy X 2 touch screen not responding do not when waking from sleep

    About half of the time when I wake up my HP envy X 2 version sleep 128 GB touchscreen is unresponsive. The mouse pad and the keyboard usually work but screen tousch work again until it is restarted.

    I took a peek in the Device Manager, while the touch screen did not work and I don't see under User Interface devices, I have a HID I2C device that has a yellow warning sign. When I open it under device status, it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) »

    Someone at - it information on how to solve this problem?

    I had already tried to upgrade the Synaptics drivers and it does not solve the problem.

    I noticed several times that when I wake the PC from sleep that Google Talk would be stuck with about 40% of the use of processer according to the Task Manager. I usually just close and re - open Google talk and he would not stuck using the processor.

    A couple of days ago I closed Google Talk and did not restart the program, during the last 2 days I didn't only once when the touch screen has been non-responsive after waking up from his sleep.

    I've said before, but I had a similar problem with the rotation sensor, after waking up from his sleep, he would be intermittenetly does not work and I could also see in Device Manager that another I2C HID device was a code 43 error. Also since the closing of google talk, I didn't freeze the rotation sensor.

    Like I said its only been a couple of days, so it can always happen, but 2 days is the longest I can remember never go without this problem.

    mfhengst, you have google talk installed on your laptop?
