Forcefully change the resolution in second monitor

Hello

I have a macbook pro with the retina display (this is the one before the last macbook pro, I bought this model in January 2015) with the retina and last OSX screen.

I just bought 27 "screen (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS27D360HS/ZA). This monitor supports 1080 p.

I connect my macbook for the HDMI monitor. Everything works well except the resolution in my second monitor.

I wan to see many different things in smaller size, so I can work with a lot of things at once. However, the second screen resolution is set to 1080 p now, so everything is very big. Is there a way I can make the resolution higher in the second monitor? If I use sight to connect my mac to the screen, it will make a difference?

Check AppleMEnu > SystemPreferences > displays > Arrangement

If 'mirror' is set, it synchronizes resolutions.  If you clear the checkbox 'mirror' to try to define every display resolution:

  • changing the resolution of w2408h monitor

    Hi guys,.

    Grateful if someone could help me with this problem.

    I just bought w2408h monitor. My graphics card is the Radeon 9600.

    I hv updated my PC to the latest drivers for my graphics card and the monitor.

    My problem is...

    I use my XP Control Panel > display to change the setting 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz

    When I turn off the screen (leaving the PC running) and later turn it back on - the monitor goes into auto setting and change the resolution to 800 x 600.

    What should I do to stop my monitor to change my resolution deskto?

    Thanking you in advance for any help you could give me.

    I found the solution - actuallyI attached my monitor for my PC using the cables VGA and DVI times. Somehow, my DVI cable is faulty - then when I turn on my screen and then turn it on again - the monitor starts with a DVI mode. Therefore, the problem. Now that I have removed the DVI cable - it works like a charm.

    Thank you.

    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.

  • Updates change the resolution

    The last two times that installed Windows automatic updates, the next time I used the computer, the resolution was changed to one that is less than the optimum for Windows Vista.  I did a system restore every time to solve the problem, because it was easier than trying to figure out how to reset the resolution.  Why do auto update change my resolution?

    To change your display resolution:

    1. right click on the desktop and select "personalize".

    2. click on "Display settings" at the bottom.

    3. in the window that appears, move the slider to change your resolution. If you don't know what you want, try to drag the increment of a cursor at a time and by clicking on 'Apply' at the bottom to try the resolution. Note: If you change the resolution to one that is not supported by your monitor and your screen becomes black or displays an error message, DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING! Wait 15 to 20 seconds and the display will return to a compatible resolution.

    Now that you know how to change your resolution, you can feel free to install updates in the future.

    Hope this fixes your problems,

  • zBook 14 - cannot change the resolution of the screen after update

    After I installed software updates the portable suggested to me, my screen resolution went suddenly from 1900 x 1200 at 1200 x 720 after reboot and it won't let me change it, not even to a lower resolution. I'm very frustrated, because I need the computer week next for visualization work and I really need the screen works well.

    It doesn't let me change the resolution. Graphics and display drivers are up-to-date and functioning according to Device Manager. I did a system restore, but that just do everything worse although the resolution worked once again thing, I had to run a repair of the start several times before that my laptop would be starting another property again. This does not resolve the issue, given that the display drivers are not working properly (videos have been viewed very badly) and even after updating the computer won't start again, so I had made another system of recovery and now I'm to the point where I can not change the resolution and starting to be really frustrating. Also, (if it even starts) Windows is constantly freezing, forcing me to hard reboot.

    Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

    This looks like a lot of problems, you have there.

    First thing I would say is to do a check of the basic material. Your laptop will be built Diagnostics the F2 button on the HP logo. The hard drive on a test extended (approximately 45 minutes - 2 hours) and the memory test. If these two go, consider downloading of UEFI diagnoses from the above drivers download section. In all honestly, I think this unnecessary step for most, it tells not usually defects that are already not obvious. But he should have a graphics test, if it will throw a failure even if it is faulty is another matter but when even, of a value of a test.
    If all else fails, download on the phone for the HP warranty.

    If anything fails, run the memory on memtest86 + for about 12 to 24 hours. Download you, it's free, burn it to a cd and the start of it. And it works simply, in case of error, you have a fault memory.

    If anything fails on any diags, then nothing is most likely false, cool reimageries windows probably will solve the problem and its probably just a form of spyware or corruption of driver or something. Backup your data, reinstall a new copy of windows.

    But in my experience, from doubtful, repairs etc... freezing randomly and other problems are often a sign of a failing hard drive. And diagnostic tests are not always 100% to pick up a failing drive. For the most part, but not always. So, if its still high reading after a reimage, review the reader always a potential source of the problem.

    To the extent where it won't let you change the resolution? What you mean? As for the option is grayed out? Can you maybe post a screenshot and a screenshot of your device with the extended graphics card Manager.

  • Change the resolution of normal-vista through Safe mode-vista

    Hello!

    I installed a demo version of this game of strategy, 'Starcraft 2 '. After installation, I try to play. However, without warning the game changes permanently my screen resolution to a value that is compatible with my monitor (says my Samsung TV/Pc monitor ~ "cannot display resolution")

    Even after restarting Vista, remains the problem of resolution. Still no display.

    Vista safe mode, but displays in another resolution and works very well (I am writing this message in SafeMode). Now, I can change the resolution here, but whatever the changes I make do not transfer to normal-Vista mode.

    If anyone, please tell me, How to change the display resolution of the normal mode, safe mode? Alternatively, how can I change the resolution, 'the eyes bandaged?

    I uninstalled and will avoid the game.

    I also tried the system restore, twice in fact, just to be sure. Picked dates from before I even heard of the release of the demo, but it still does not work. The display resolution is still off enough to leave my empty screen.

    Try the following, but do it in Safe Mode so that you can see everything on the screen...

    1. set DPI:
    Right-click on a free space of the desktop > customize > column to the left, adjust the size of police (in PPP) > uac prompt > click default scale (96 DPI).

    2. resolution:
    Right-click on a free space of the desktop > Personalize > Display Setings > move the slider to the right or left whatever the case may be. Check your user manual, see if she tells you what resolution is for your computer. My laptop is using 1280 x 800 pixels.

    Here is a table of the guide line:

    Monitor 15 inch

    1024 × 768

    17 to 19 inch monitor

    1280 × 1024

    monitor 20 inch and liked

    1600 × 1200

  • 3007WFP - cannot change the resolution of 1280 x 800?

    Hi all

    My monitor was turned off for about a year, and recently I plugged it in and I can not change the resolution to anything other then 1280 x 800, which now is also marked as recommended (not true in the past). Whenever I try to change I get different by config behavior, but most of them, I get a black or some screen lines color resistance. Everyone has been through this, and are there alternatives that can be done at home?

    The only resolutions supported are 1280 x 800 (Single Link) and 2560 x 1600 (Dual Link). To get the best resolution of 2560 x 1600, the video card must have a port DVI - D Dual Link and you will need a DVI - D Dual Link. The left in the picture. Check these and after return.

  • Is it possible to change the resolution batch, but not the size of the pixels?

    I was changing my digital photos from 180 to 300 ppi resolution individually that I retouched, but sometimes I forget. Because I need a higher resolution for printing, I decided to automate this step by using the "Process Multiple Files" of the PSE feature. I noted that the selection of the resolution was grayed out until I checked 'Resize pictures.' Given that I didn't change the number of pixels, I left these fields empty.

    When I started the automated processing, I noticed it was terribly slow, so I cancelled it and looked at the resulting files. They had more than doubled in size from the file because the PSE has been almost double the pixel Dimensions! I don't want to try a "resizing" for the pixel dimensions current workaround, because the treatment takes about 45 seconds per file, and if I have cropped the photos, the pixel dimensions vary. Is there an automated way to change only the PES resolution... quickly?

    Also, I really want to double the resolution of 180 dpi to 360 DPI, but PSE limited my choices to 300 or 600 or less. I read about Scripts, but I don't think that PSE supports. I have version 6.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    To tell you the truth, changing the resolution of your digital photos is totally meaningless.

    A digital photo that is (for example) 2000 x 3000 pixels and 180ppi is the SAME PHOTO EXACTLY as if you changed the photo of 2000 x 3000 to 300 ppi.

    So my advice to you is to don't bother to make all these changes resolution, because there is no advantage. Additional work, no advantage? I don't like the sound of that.

    The only time you need to worry about the resolution is when you print, and even then, if you say printing software you want a 4 x 6, with most of the software you will get a 4 x 6, regardless of the resolution contained in the image file.

    Hi petersm,

    You may notice the behavior even if you change the screen resolution by using the options of the display driver?

  • 4 K TV can not change the resolution or refresh rate

    When I connect my end of 2013 retina MacBook Pro to a TV 1080 p via HDMI, system preferences port gives me a list of supported resolutions and refresh rate to choose. But when I connect to the laptop even to my new Vizio M43 - C1, it generates a fixed 3840x2160@30Hz and gives me only a handful of options for scaling HiDPI. I want to change frequency to 24 Hz for movies, I do all the time with TVs 1080 p, but I can't find the option anywhere. SwitchResX works, but are there seriously no official way to change the resolution and refresh rate when a 4K TV is connected? Looks like a massive oversight.

    Hello NeilT6,

    These 4 k TVs sound incredible. If I had one I would like to than the best resolution, that I could not too.  Have you tried now hold Option key while selecting the display scaling settings?

    Use screens 4 K and Ultra HD TVs with your Mac - Apple Support

    Pointing your mouse on a resolution options will show more details about this option. To get a button detect displays appear, press the Option key. To see all available resolutions, press Option key while clicking on the button of the chipped.

    Take care.

  • Change the resolution of a project in iMovie 10.1

    Hello

    I'm doing a movie with iMovie 10.1 and for some reason any iMovie set my project at 4 K resolution, but I only need 720 p. Is it possible that I can change the resolution of the project? In the project settings, it shows the 4K, but I don't see an option where I change.

    Thanks for your answers...

    A draft resolution is defined by the first clip that you put in the timeline.  Create a new project, then put a 720 p clip in the timeline panel.  After that copy and paste all the old project into the new.  You can now delete the first clip if you wish.
