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.

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Hi stevejager,

    ·         Remember to make changes?

    ·         You receive an error when starting?

    ·         Have you tried booting in safe mode?

    Method 1: First of all, we will try to start the computer in last good known Configuration and see if it boots.

    Method 2: If it is impossible to start, try to start in safe mode. If able to start and then try to perform a System Restore, since this is a recent problem that has occurred.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the below article mentioned.

  • How we split the screen for different horizontal and vertical divisions

    Hello

    How we split the screen for different horizontal and vertical divisions. I can't use panelSplitter because I need fixed screen and not the division which is movable/sliding. I tried inlineframe, but which fails because you cannot use forms, other trees components... :(

    so I would like to know how to do division without panelSplitter.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jyothi

    Hi Jyothi,

    If you set the panelSplitter attribute disabled to true, the delimiter becomes permanent/mobile no.

    
    

    Kind regards

  • objects and text on the screen appear to be "stretched" horizontally.

    all objects and images on the screen seem to be "stretched" horizontally with all applications and web sites.  A good example is a picture of someone... the normal image is large and thin person... on my screen, they appear to be shorter and wider... lol

    find manual for my screen... it is AOC model 2219V1.  As I have explained, I tried to change the resolution.  When I change the resolution on my side of the computer, then my husbands is affected.   There is something that I realized that I can't re-create or find...  You have any other suggestions... Thanks for your help.   What would happen if I reload windows software... do you think all the settings back to the original settings?  If I reload windows, will I lose the documents and files on my computer?

    I do not see where you said you tried to change the resolution.  You have changed the DPI, but it's different than to change the resolution (although can be connected to ALSO change the resolution.)

    The resolution is not independent - that is when you change the resolution of the screen of the user, it is on this size for all users of the computer.  Your original problem was:

    all objects and images on the screen seem to be "stretched" horizontally with all applications and web sites.  A good example is a picture of someone... the normal image is large and thin person... on my screen, they appear to be shorter and wider... lol

    This means that you are using a large non-ecran on a screen resolution and screen is allowing it to fill the entire screen.

    You say you have the AOC 2219V1 monitor)<-- linked="" to="" there)="" and="" according="" to="" the="" specifications="" on="" that="" web="" page,="" the="" resolution="" you="" want="" to="" set="" the="" monitor="" at="" is:="" 1680="" x="" 1050="" @="">

    So, in your case, if you have the correct driver for your video card installed * and * says video card supports widescreen resolutions (what is a new monitor?) then you should...

    1.

    Open display in Control Panel.

    2.

    On the tab settings in the screen resolution, drag the slider to the right until it shows the parameters of selection to 1680 x 1050, and then click apply.

    3.

    When you are prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen becomes black for a moment.

    4.

    Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change. Click No or do nothing to return to your previous configuration.

    Now - if you do not have the choice of 1680 x 1050, it is a new monitor and you have the latest driver for your video - card, then probably your video card was not made to support screen widescreen resolutions.

    Hello

    Horizontal control of your screen is turned off or you are using a screen on a standard monitor resolution.

    Using the controls of the monitor on the screen itself, try to reduce the horizontal display, so that it fits on the screen.

    If it's not her, then go to the settings/display/personalization in the control panel and adjust the slider to resolution one that best fits your screen.

  • the orientation of the screen changed from horizontal to vertical. How do I change it back?

    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.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

  • Where can I go to adjust the size of the police of the headers, tabs, toolbars? Messages, pages, on the screen appears normal and can be adjusted using ctrl +-.

    Run Firefox 28.0. Just updated, which did not help. On Firefox and Thunderbird font size increased to headers, tabs, toolbars, drop-down menus, etc. What's on the display appears normal and can be adjusted by using the CTRL +. Has no effect on the toolbars, headers, etc. My resolution is to the max, small icons, the size of the text to 100%.

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the topic: config page on 1.0 or Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) do the icons to display properly.

  • Satellite U500 - picture on the screen appears in yellow

    I use to set the external display on my laptop to extend my desktop.
    All a da suddenly the screen turned yellow.
    I can still use the screen, but everything on screen is yellowish.

    I have connected my laptop with another screen with my laptop and its yellow, so I tried to connect another laptop to my monitor and it worked fine.

    Looks like there is a problem with the hardware, I have readers of upgrade and did everything I can do with the software but not yet done :(

    Concerning
    Sagar

    > I have connected my laptop with another screen with my laptop and its yellow, so I tried to connect another laptop to my monitor and it worked fine.

    This means that this issue is related to laptop and no not the external monitor.
    I think it might be a graphics card related issue since the update of the display driver or the facility didn't change the situation.
    So, what to say. the GPU needs to be checked and to my eyes, this is a job for a Toshiba laptop technicians.

    What do you think?

  • only a quarter of the screen appears when I play games

    When I play the sims 2 on windows xp, you can see that a quarter of the screen and plays the game in full screen behind bars. I tried to change the resolution, but nothing works and you can not our association in the game options menu because you can not see. Please quick help

    You can simply be low on memory, more power cpu as well.

    for the most part, adding a graphics card to the motherboard will give the computer the extra to play games power.

    If go shopping for graphics cards, make sure that you first figure out what type / style of Board slots are provided on the motherboard.

    graphics cards are designed to adapt to certain locations on the motherboard.
