T520 problems with external monitor resolution

Hello

I'm standing right now waiting on hold for a Lenovo tech support rep, so I thought I'd just post my problem here. I just bought a Dell ultrasharp monitor U2713HM and am trying to connect it to my Lenovo T520. We sometimes see the monitor and sometimes it isn't, but this isn't my main problem. The monitor is supposed to be 2560 x 1440, but all the resolution settings are grayed out. I know that the Lenovo can support it because my last screen is a Samsung SyncMaster supporting 2560 x 1440, and it was beautiful (beautiful until the monitor exploded).

I was on the phone with Dell and Lenovo, and so far nobody has been able to solve the problem. I've updated the graphics driver NVIDIA (NVS4200M) to the latest version (310.90) as suggested by Dell, and I changed the cable VGA to DVI - D cable (connected to the Dual Link adapter), as suggested by Lenovo. He stlil does not work.

I could use some suggestions. I'm not grumpy at all, so it's quite frustrating. Thank you!!

  • Problem with external monitor when used with the Satellite P100-434

    I'm trying to use a Vizitron L - 151 monitor flat screen connected to the VGA port on the back of my Satellite P100 - 434 (PSPADE)

    I find that the screens seem to periodically - feeding cycle windows resize themselves and then the screens settle down again. This happens with the laptop and the external monitor.

    I've updated the latest available BIOS V4.20 (November 2, 2007) I use 7.15.11.6369 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver version. I'm under the edition of Vista Home Premium to standard build.

    I even resorted to the use of the dvd system recovery to rebuild completely the laptop and the problem persists. In Device Manager I have generic Non - PnP monitor and below that I have a generic PnP monitor I tried and it is not possible to get specific drivers for the monitor Vizitron L-151. * NOTE * I saw dxdiag that the external display is identified the Non - PnP device

    The display configuration that I'm trying to use is to have my laptop as the main screen with the external display on my left as an extension to the desktop. In display config my computer screen appears as number 2 with the additional display in the poster as a device 1

    While typing this my screens have made this three times and the last time, this IE7 window installs itself to the external display in restored down to size.

    If anyone has a glimpse of it, I would be very grateful. There are no problems when the external display is deleted.

    _I can reproduce this problem on demand_ by uninstalling the monitor Non - PnP Device Manager.

    Sorry, mate, but you ad confuses me a little and be hones I m not 100% sure what you take on
    You have some problems with the resolution of the external display or what?

    I've found another thread on the setting of the external screen as main screen:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=96263#96263

    According to this statement:
    > In display config my computer screen appears as number 2 with the additional display in the poster as a device 1
    It seems that the external monitor has been on the main screen and display books internal as external.

    I recommend you change this settings and to use books appear as 1 and the external display form 2.

  • Qosmio X 300-problem of external monitor

    Hi all!

    I am the proud owner of a 300-157 x, but I have a problem. I would use my laptop as a desktop workstation and use an external VGA monitor to the output.
    Everything is fine when the operating system (Vista or Ubuntu) is responsible, but I can't figure out how to make the external monitor to view BIOS and POST messages to completely get rid of the internal display.

    Any clue?

    >... I can't understand how the external monitor to view BIOS and POST messages to completely get rid of the internal display.
    AFAIK this option doesn't exist. In General, computer laptop Qosmio is designed as a multimedia mobile gear and games. Of course you can use it with external screen or a TV, but I think that it is not designed to be desktop replacement. For example, professional laptop computers Tecra and Portege that can be used with a docking station to have multiply and different options for use with external display.

    I had X 300 but I ve never used it with external monitor so I can't say with certainty how it works but if I m remembering well this option to disable the laptop computer's display is not available.

    Every time when you want to use your laptop as a desktop replacement you should open it, start it, wait that the OS is fully charged, switch to the external display (FN + F5), and then close the cover.
    I know it's a little annoying, but, more or less, in 2 minutes, you can use your laptop as a desktop replacement, especially if you use an external wireless keyboard.

  • Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

    But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you

    (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

    > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
    If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
    When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

    Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

    What operating system do you use?

  • Portege M200 with external monitor - what is the best resolution?

    As a result of a recent post on using an external monitor with the M400, I have a question on the use of one with the M200. I realize that the M200 uses the graphics card Nvidia rather than the graphics card Intel in the M400 - is it better with regard to the use of an external display is concerned? The M200 manual says that it will support up to 1600 x 1536 resolution on an external display. I want to use my M200 in a docking station with an external monitor to the extended desktop.

    What would be the best resolution to go with externally? Should I go for 1400 x 1050 screen LCD M200 match? Or could I go for a 1600 x 1200, that should the graphics card (!) be able to cope? Or, finally, if I went to a widescreen 1680 x 1050, how would the face Nvidia card? The screen is not as clear as with the 1600 x 1050 screen?

    What are the chances of work at all? I see in the M400 manual which she is supposed to support 2048 x 1536 on an external monitor, but this seems to be a problem, judging from the other post.

    Any help appreciated - thanks

    Hello

    Well, the resolution of the screen depends primarily on the graphics card.
    If you want to use a display resolution that the graphics card must support. In addition, the graphics card driver is important. If the graphics card will support the resolution of the screen, BUT the resolution is not listed in the graphics driver, so you will not be able to choose this value.

    To my knowledge, if you use the docking station you will get Supportepar as the notebook display resolutions.
    The resolution of the external display also depends on the external display. If the material of the monitor will not support the resolution so you will not be able to get all the images on the external monitor.

    I think the best way is to test that the resolution is the best. Some people prefer the high resolution of small icons and other blind ;) like low resolutions (1024 x 768) because of the large icons

  • Ver El Capitan 10.11.6 - problems with external display

    I've updated my Macbook Air to the latest version of El Capitan (ver.10.11.6), and since then, I had problems with my external monitor: image is thus largest, out of proportion, and I can't seem to be able to set the zoom out or by using the display options. That's all just terrible to work with her. It is not my monitor because I never change its configurations, and there is nobody else who has access, and the problem started after I updated to version 10.11.6

  • Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

    Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

    Yesterday I did face the following problem:

    I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

    I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

    And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

    Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

    --
    Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

    I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

    This sentence is very interesting.
    Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

    It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
    Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

    If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  • Satellite A100: Can't choose my preferred on external monitor resolution

    Hello

    When I connect to my external monitor (Bravia) so I'm not able to select alle-screen resolutions this monitor supports (1378 x 1024 or something like that). How can I solve this (laptop Satellite A100 with Vista). And if it is a driver problem... where can I get the right drivers?

    Leon

    It certainly has to do with the graphics driver.
    The graphics driver does not include the resolution you want to choose and so you cannot select it!

    Ask you a good pilot? You already use the correct driver. No one can do so that this other driver would include your favorite resolution.

    I read that many new generation external monitors are supplied with the software (driver) CD. You may need to install the software that came with your monitor.

    However, depending on your graphics card! You can try to install the drivers of the 3rd site part
    -www.Intel.com
    -www.omegadrivers.net
    -www.laptopvideo2go.com

  • Need to reset the external monitor resolution in Windows Vista

    Stupidly, I changed the resolution of my new external monitor on my laptop to a not available (single mode external monitor) and received a message on the screen: "out of range" + white screen. No matter how hard I tried, I can't use one external monitor mode and must live with double display (which is a waste of energy on my tiny laptop screen). Could someone tell me please how to reset the resolution setting in Vista for the external monitor?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    You can try the steps below and check if the problem is resolved.

    You can go to the control panel of the screen and reset it to factory settings.

    And if you face the same problems, then, you must contact your system provider who will be in a better position to help you reset the external screen to its default state.

    As a workaround, so check you have function keys on your portable computer, which can go from a monitor to your laptop and external monitor.

    If Yes, then try to return to the screen of the laptop and turn off the external monitor.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • SL500 with external monitor...

    Hello!

    I an SL500 with graphics from Nvidia 9300 Mr. with LCD of laptop computers, everything seems OK, but when I use an external monitor (an Acer 19 '' widescreen, 1440 X 900 at 60 Hz media) as primary monitor & don't use does not monitor the notobooks, sometimes I see the waves forming on some parts of the screen. This happens for a few minutes and then disappears and then reappears after a certain time. The monitor is ok, since my old laptop (4-5 years) can work with this external LCD with no problems. Furthermore, if I reduce the resolution to 1280 X 1024 so that there is no distortion of the picture (no wave), but then to this resolution, the images just doesn't look good.

    No idea if it's just a driver problem or something wrong with my video card?

    Thank you!

    PS: I tried this specific monitor with & without its driver, but always the same results.

    Try to press the button "Auto Adjust" on your screen and play with the setting of 'Phase '. Also, how you drive the monitor? via VGA or HDMI output?

  • Can I use a HP Mini 110-3190SF with external monitor of higher res?

    Totally new in the world of netbooks! Just bought a HP Mini 110 - 3190SF, thinking I could use it with my external monitor sometimes to take off the stump of my eyes... but the highest display resolution that Windows 7 allows me is 1024 px. (My external monitor is 1360 px). In addition, 1024 px is even properly displayed on the external monitor - the left side of the screen (including the Windows Start button) is off the screen.

    Of course, I tried the settings of the screen itself to have at least 1024 px is displayed correctly, but not joy. Ideally, I won't be able to change the output to 1360 px resolution, to take full advantage of the external display. Looking at this forum, it appears this is possible on older netbooks (Windows XP) but it does not seem possible when you run Windows 7. ??

    Obviously, huge disappointment if I'm limited to 1024 px (and even who does not display properly). All the solutions to one of them? My output doesn't appear to 1360 px? Or, failing that, at least to get my 1024 px displaying properly on the external monitor?

    Any help is appreciated...

    Thanks for the help. In fact, I solved the problem - not by installing the graphics driver, you suggested, but by installing a driver for the external monitor special I use (first time I've ever had to install a driver for a supposed to plug-and-play monitor!) and then play around with the settings. This allowed me to choose a higher resolution to 1024 px for the secondary display (IE, the monitor).

    If someone else gets stuck on this, I can give a step by step, but probably no one else would have taken longer than me to know what to do!
