Satellite A100-451: external monitor aspect ratio is wrong

Hello

I have a Sat A100-451 running Vista. I want to connect an external monitor. I have a SyncMaster 913V 19 "flat screen, I have tried to connect. This worked OK, but the ratio is bad & I can't find how to change it using the menu system monitor.

I found how to switch between monitors, no problem.

The screen seems to be that led 'default' Sat A100, the nvidea driver.
Should I install the external driver of samsung moniotr (I have the disc) or if it might upset the own Toshiba screen?

Help & advice please

Thanks as always

KK

Hello

> Should I install the driver of samsung external monitor (I have the disc) or if it might upset the own screen of Toshiba...
First of all the graphics driver is necessary and important to run and use the graphics card with maximum performance and NOT the external monitor!
I'm sure that the external monitor software was not designed to run the graphics card but to activate and control some options of the external monitor.

Anyway, you can try to install this software rendering, but you must understand that this software will not replace the graphics driver installed nVidia of Toshiba.

    Hi again :)

    AHM, you want to use the second screen as an extension for your cockpit? Generally, it should be possible. One of my friends has defined a complete cockpit with 3 TFT´s view on his desktop computer,
    but I Don t know how it's just with two screens.

    When I use samsung 22 "on batery then monitor does not Flash as a flag but pixels moves randomly left or right. I try to find new drivers for my graphics 945GM card, but on the toshiba support page there is an old drivers which was already instaled on my laptop.

    Thank you all.

    Hello!

    For your first problem, I think that the AC/DC adapter is faulty or it s a motherboard problem.
    This should be checked by a technician for laptop.
    I put t know what OS you use, but you can try to use the driver from the Intel Web site.
    There should be a more recent version available:

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a "headphone" Jack on the front (3.5 mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are "PC Line" with their own power supply and also have a 3.5 mm jack plug).

    You need the audio Line out put and the headset jack provides this output.
    In other words, you can use this Jack to connect external speakers

  • Satellite Pro A60: External monitor Shimmers

    I use an A60 Pro of the Satellite with a second screen (tft) as a dual display configuration. There is a very sensitive landscape shimmer that moves on the screen when viewing images or the dark backgrounds on the second monitor.

    I tried the monitor on another machine and it is very good, so I can assume there is a problem with the laptop or the ATI graphics card.

    If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful, because it gives me a headache (literally!).

    Looks like you need to change the frequency (refresh rate) with the display settings screen. The internal monitor has a 60 Hz frequency (refresh rate), more external monitors are 80 Hz or 100 Hz. Now if you have the wrong settings of the external monitor will refresh at the same pace as internally, which gives a brilliant image. You must go to the display settings, select the 2nd monitor, goto advanced settings, and then monitor and change the refresh rate to say 100 Hz, try this.

    I hope your problem

  • Satellite A200-1AX - External monitor reset

    I got my car and Acer monitor 20 inch and after a few minutes of use resets the monitor (becomes black and goes up to 1280 x 800).
    I tried on a different Satellite A200 with same works card (my brothers) like a charm, but when his hook on mine it keeps resetting. And also I see horizontal lines on the screen.

    My model is TOSHIBA Satellite A200-1AX (with a vga HD 2600 card).

    Hello

    You can disable the option in the power options of Vista to prevent mode standby when the lid is closed.

    > I got my self and Acer monitor 20 inch and after a few minutes of use resets the monitor (becomes black and goes up to 1280 x 800).
    However, reading this post I'm not sure if your external monitor goes black or the A200 display internal.
    Is what screen affected?

    Did you try a BIOS and update the display driver?
    If this is not the case, check this box!

  • Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

    I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

    How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

    Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
    Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

    Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

    See you soon
    Matt

    Hello

    I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

    BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1IZ - external monitor problem

    Hello
    I recently bought an IPS monitor for photo editing. I configured the monitor in several ways, such as two monitors or monitors extended, but the image on the external monitor has a few little flicker and the image is not very pleasing to the eyes, a feeling like little refreshment on old monitor, very disturbing for the eyes.
    I plugged the monitor into another laptop and the image is much better.

    What could be the problem? I have Windows 7 32 bit and Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 adapter with the latest drivers.

    We do not know what monitor you have exactly, but what is the native screen resolution and what resolution is set to the external monitor when you use it with your laptop?
