rMbp mid-2014, external display with the quality of the retina

Hello!

I buy a Dell 24 "external display to connect to my rMBP with QHD (2 560 x 1 440) resolution.

http://www1.euro.Dell.com/content/products/ProductDetails.aspx/Dell-u2515h-monit or? c = en & l = en & s = dhs & cs = frdhs1

I have connected the screen to my mbp with the mini display / port cable supplied with the display screen. It works well, but I don't have quality of retina at all (the images seems good but the text is terrible)

The text have a bad record as a retina screen, and it makes a big difference when I spend my retina display to the external display which is not comfortable at all.

I though that this kind of screen was OK to view the retina... but I was wrong. I try to connect with minidisplay / display and HDMI! HDMI made was worse than minidisplay. The res in the system report show was good 2 560 x 1 440. I even try the hack to force with the patch, but always bad RGB render text...

More important, I want to, it's having the same record as retina on the text and images. What external display can be good for this?

My budget is 450-€500

Thank you

The size in pixels of the screen is not mean much: a small display to 2560 x 1440 pixels seems much sharper than a widescreen 2560 x 1440 pixels.

Your retina Macbook has something like 220 dpi (DPI in English), the Dell screen only 117. If you want the same sharpness, you will need to choose a display with 220 dpi. But then, everything on the screen will look much smaller. Here is a tool that allows you to get the idea: http://dpi.lv/

  • Bad resolution of Qosmio G30 - external display via the HDMI connection-

    Hello! This problem makes me crazy, please help if you can...

    I just bought a G30-102 and I am trying to use it with an external display via the HDMI connection. The problem I have is that the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 cut the edges of the screen and the quality looks terrible - its almost as if the entire screen is enlarged. I tried with a BenQ FP241wz initially (1080i is 1920 x 1200) and the Toshiba helpline could not find a solution either - even after painfully reinstall all the drivers, etc..

    Its been going on for so long, I thought I'd try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor problem. So I tried with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and come to find that it has exactly the same problem.

    All the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the result is correct, so I have now it is - don't you think not that this is a problem with my HDMI port?

    Please help, I'm a designer, and it is essential that I use the machine on a large screen. If it is a hardware of the G30 problem, I need to talk to Toshiba immediately replace or fixing.

    Hello

    I tested the Qosmio G30 (HD-DVD) with my LCD TV using a HDMI cable. Everything worked perfectly. As a first step, I put 1080i value in the settings of the BIOS and after following the instructions in the HDDVDGuide document under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01LH000LR01.htm

  • Satellite P750 - unable to connect an external display via the VGA port

    Hi all

    My problem is the following:

    I tried to connect my P750 (running on W7 x-64) an external display using the VGA cable port. Unfortunately, these devices recognize my phone. Laptop does not recognize the external display, you can see in the graphics settings as additional display, but the screen shows "no signal".

    The computer always identifies the screen correctly, so it seems that there is communication from the screen to the PC, but not the reverse.

    This has been verified with 3 separate screens and television - still the same. All the screens work properly with the other PC.

    I already have:

    -try to play with FN + F5 / "windows" + buttons P - no change
    -install the latest drivers BIOS and video site Web from Toshiba - no change

    Suggestions how to operate? Is it possible that the VGA port is faulty?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a HDMI output port?
    Usually, you don't need to change anything to get the external monitor works.
    Press Fn + F5 several times until the monitor RGB (VGA) was selected
    Since you can choose an HDMI output too, you should pay attention to this option.

    Have you tried to change the resolution before using the Fn + F5?
    It s worth a try

    Last but not least, you could set the default BIOS (press F9 BIOS and save the changes by pressing F10). But I don't very well if the BIOS contains some parameters of port RGB (VGA) m

  • Re: Satellite A660-10W - connection external display with HDMI cuts sound on

    When I use an external display via the HDMI, it mutes the sound of the laptop.
    It's OK because the external display has a headphone/speaker output jack.

    However, when I close the external screen (which I use for movies only) and to use the laptop only, the sound is cut all the time that the HDMI cable is connected.

    I can't hear sound - by harman/kardon speakers or headphone - when the HDMI cable is disconnected (if the external display is turned on or off).

    Is there a way to allow me to have the choice and use her laptop - even when the HDMI cable is connected - in order not to keep plugging and plugging on?

    Thank you

    It is clear.
    If the HDMI cable is connected, then the digital output is defined as audio output by default and therefore you do not hear the sound of the internal speakers but on external monitor speakers.

    You need to change the sound settings.

    Go to control panel of-> sound-> reading tab and set the speakers to laptop as default.
    Then you should hear sound from the speakers for laptop!

  • Is it possible to create the icon PDF format display with the cover of the document image, when sending via "Mail" on a mac?

    Is it possible to create the icon PDF format display with the cover of the document image, when sending via "Mail" on a mac?

    InDesign has no control on how Apple Mail displays a PDF it creates.

    My experience is that Mail displays a preview of a single PDF page, but not a multiple page PDF. In addition, for a single page PDF, the user may tip if the PDF shows a preview by right-clicking the icon/preview.

    I had the same problem - could not believe my eyes on how horrible and blurry Flash Builder looked on my new Macbook Pro w retina.  Through she had suffered since last week and have just discovered this work around that someone figured out for Eclipse that also works on Flash Builder (guess b/c it is built on Eclipse).  Here is the link to the bug report that shows the work around (thanks to Brad Hudgeons):

    https://bugs.Eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972

    Here is a cut and paste from the bug report in the case of the above url is deleted:

    Here's the workaround:  Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app.  Edit Contents/Info.plist.  Just above     Place this:  NSHighResolutionCapable 
    

    Instead of Eclipse, display the contents of the package on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app.   After you change the Info.plist file, go to the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app and reproduce.  It will create an Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app.  Delete your original Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and rename the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app copy.app.  Then launch Flash Builder - you should see the text which is much clearer.  The graphics on the user interface are still unclear but at least the text should be crispy.
