i cant seem to get fullscreen on the monitor using 1920x1080p but if i lower the resolution to 1680x1050 it works full screen on the monitor but not full screen on my XPS.
I think the problem is in the laptop setting as I used a friends samsung monitor and that didnt go fullscreen either. My old Hp dv9500 did not have any problems with the fullscreen.
Whenever I try playing a Movie on my Studio's Blu-Ray drive & output it to my 26" LCD TV thru the HDMI, the picture on the screen is letterboxed on all 4 sides. It shows up as not much bigger than my laptop screen in size.

I assume this is full screen! I want to watch everything in Wide screen ( black bars on top running horizontally) have gone into my settings etc..including my ATI ( Catalyst Control Center) and tweaked settings still no joy!
Even on sites like You tube the same happens! Any ideas? Also posted a while ago on a reliable free data backup site! Had Dell Data Safe on-line not impressed and dumped it!
I have a studio xps 16 and whenever I plug it via HDMI to my tv (which has a 1080p resolution) there are black bars all around the image, meaning the image is smaller than the tv. I've set the resolution of the tv (from Catalyst Control Center) to 1920x1080 and it still won't do full screen...
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just got my Studio 17, and there's little things that really bother me:
1) My F keys act as a function+F in games and not the actual F key, so I can't cast spells that are bound to my F keys. Anyone know how to disable it so that if I want to see my battery status or Wifi status, it requires the function key to be held down?
2) Some of the games I play such as warcraft 3 have 2 black lines on the right/left of my screen. They won't let me go full screen no matter what I try
watching videos using VLC every so often when going full screen i get an "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered." error thingy.

I have XPS 1530 (red). I had made some changes to NVidia settings (video settings) and was able to view the movies full screen.
But after some days its not working. I checked the changes i made; its still the same, but movies are not viewed full screen.
So as the title indicates, i get choppy video when i try to watch some sort of online stream such as youtube or hulu in full screen view.
It's unbarebly choppy, just not as smooth as it could be.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Fullscreen viewing works fine on my XPS desktop (4 years old), so i dont think its the internet

View 10 Replies View RelatedDuring recent travel I have noticed that while watching videos on fullscreen with VLC Player or Media Player Classic on the laptops own monitor, there seems to be a weird tearing-like effect on the screen.
That "problem" however does not exist with Windows Media Player, or on an external monitor (as at home).
Any ideas what might cause this? I'm running Windows XP SP3 with all the recent updates and my video card is GF 7900 GTX 512MB.
I have a year and a half old Inspiron 5010N and after about 5 minutes of being on (plugged in BTW) the screen goes dim for about 5 seconds and then comes back to full brightness. It only seems to do this once, then is fine for the rest of the use. Power setting is for "performance".
Any need to worry about an impending failure or any way to troubleshoot? It's just unnerving and doesn't seem right.
It will work fine for awhile then all of the sudden it will freeze.
I Googled this, and people said tick Enable Hardware Acceleration to off.
I did so but now the video is slow pretty much all the time. What is causing this? I upgraded my video drivers in the hopes of it solving this problem, but it did not
I got a great deal on an Asus K40IN-X1 notebook:
C2D T6400 2.0 Ghz (can replace with the T8300 from my m1330)
4 GB RAM
free upgrade to Windows 7
320GB hard drive (will swap with 500GB from m1330)
Nvidia G102M discrete graphics, 512MB
wifi
no bluetooth, but can add via usb
no fingerprint reader
LED (!) backlit 14.1" 1366 X 768 LCD
after coupons, $740.00 Canadian + taxes
I'm going to try it out and see if it meets my needs.
If so, I'll sell my m1330 with the original T5450 and a 320GB HDD.
I really love my m1330, but I am worried about the GPU, although I do have full warranty until March 2010, and the extended GPU warranty until March 2011.
I want to know if it's possible to change the screen of my Z510 to a full hd!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI haven't been keeping up with laptops recently and I've always been an amd guy so I thought I'd ask for some help now that I'm looking for a new laptop.
Here are my main criteria:
1) I will run mostly linux (hence no ATI, I currently have a ferrari 4005)
2) Dual core & 64bit are a must (computational chemistry stuff)
3) I use a 2405fpw most of the time, but when I use the laptop I like to have a decent amount of real estate (this is the main hold back for me with the dell)
4) I play games every now and again, so if it will run UT3 when it comes out I'll be happy, but I'm by no means a gamer
5) I don't want anything too large, 15.4" or smaller
I'm going to post the configs. Please let me know what you think of the various choices and if there are other factors I should consider...
do you find intel hd graphics performance for non intensive tasks sluggish like scrolling on certain sites and maximizing a youtube video, i see a white screen for two seconds before the full screen renders. not like this when i disable automatic graphics switching... i also used migration assistant to get my data back from my 2009 c2d i sold. happens with firefox not chrome or safari...
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am playing a game or watching a movie in Fullscreen, randomly it minimizes to desktop and I dont know what is causing this issue. I restore the window to Fullscreen again and everything is normal.
Points to note here -
1) It is completely random, happens once in couple of hours.
2) I use my laptop connected to a TV using HDMI.
3) I use USB mouse and keyboard (which have never been an issue with my old laptop)
4) I play Origin and Steam games and it happens with both of them.
Is there a way to detect, what program might be causing this?
Otherwise, my system is completely stable and works great. Its just annoying, suddenly for the game to minimize when you are about to score a goal in FIFA (or the other way round).
Also, I have the AVG Free Antivirus.I will try to dig through its settings and check What can I disable.
which better:
this model from ASUS

or
latest vaio SR?
the important thing is the screen? U6 VS Sr
and other thing like built quality and spec.
The specs on the ASUS:
Core 2 Duo T6400 2 GHz
4 GB DDR2 SDRAM
nVidia GEForce 102M (512 mb DDR2 VRAM)
The specs on the DELL:
Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1 GHz
3 GB DDR3 SDRAM
nVidia GeForce 9400M (256 mb DDR3 VRAM)
I have turned on full screen magnifier via Fn+Spacebar. But doing the same again does NOT turn it off. Is there a workaround?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a long time PC user. I have always built my own desktops and used them for gaming and school work. My latest gaming rig has an i7 920 oc'd @4ghz, 6gb ram, raid 0 setup, radeon 5870 and does everything in the world I could imagine, also has the new windows 7.
Well I had finally ventured into feeling like I would love an Apple for a laptop at school........before I read this thread on these forums ASUS UL Series vs. Macbook (Pro)? that was about the UL series Asus vs the Apple MBP 13" which is the one I was considering buying and after reading so many guys tell about how much the UL has the upper hand over the MBP and was quite a bit cheaper (the 13" MBP built how I wanted was around 1500) than the Mac so I pulled the trigger and purchased the UL80VT-A1. I thought I was getting a sweet alternative, something with the new win7 I love, and it is also something I would not need to learn new things about.
Now note, my roommate has the larger MBP with all the bells and whistles (paid 3k+ for) so I have seen one and messed with one in person. This Asus arrives and I am very excited to open it up! It seems to look okay.............until I open it. There is absolutely no comparison in build quality, looks or attention to detail on this thing.
I'm not sure what all the dips on that forum who said that the ASUS was a superior product were thinking, or how they could EVER say that it was even close to a competitor. Maybe the price? The whole "battery lasts for 11 hours" conversation is retarded, you have to turn off the good video card and then the entire screen and all of your desktop look like a giant turd. It will get 4-5 hours max out of the non-integrated vid card. The keyboard is a pos, no back light.......it also is flimsy as hell. The mouse pad feel like crap, and it has a black piano finish inside and chrome that shows fingerprints EVERYWHERE!!! I used it for 2 hours today at school and it looked like it was touched by every kid on campus, when it was only me putting it in and out of my backpack 3 times....................
I owned an Asus N10J-A1 for about a year and ended up selling it. It was a great little machine, but I didn't really think I needed a netbook any more. Plus I grew tired of issues with the stupid 1024x600 resolution and anemic Atom N270. It was a fun toy to tweak, but in reality, it wasn't practical. Nice to have a strong GPU like the 9300m GS but the other components really didn't push it to its full potential. Plus watching flash based video like Hulu and YouTube was less than ideal, manageable, but not ideal.
My biggest issues with netbooks have been the keyboard size, screen resolution, and enough CPU power for flash video (i.e. Hulu, YouTube, etc). This notebook seems to correct that. The keyboard looks close to having regular size keys, and the screen resolution is at least somewhat normal (16:9 and with compatability with 1024x768). The CPU is much more powerful than the Atom can ever want to be, and battery life isn't compromised really. I think it's better on this Acer than the N10J anyhow.
I was waiting for the ION platform, but it seems that will be a while and still contains the Atom CPU. It will have its caveats as well to work out. Since I realize it would be nice to have a smaller, lighter notebook with a longer lasting battery, I decided on the Acer AS1410. I have ordered it but haven't received it yet. The specs to me are perfect, and dimension-wise it's not much bigger than the N10J (only 0.4" longer and wider).
Here's the specs:
Acer AS1410
CPU: Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 @ 1.4GHz
Chipset: Intel GS45
Screen: 11.6" 1366x768
Memory: 2GB expandable to 4GB (comes with 2 slots, and only one populated with a 2GB module - nice!)
Hard Drive: 250GB 5400RPM
GPU: Intel GMA 4500MHD
Network: Gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
Ports: 3xUSB, 1xVGA, 1xHDMI, 1xMic, 1xheadphone, 1xwebcam, 1xcard reader
Battery: 6-cell
No Optical Drive
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium.............................
I am trying to decide what I should get between two laptops that I will get as a graduation present. To be honest, I am pretty much a total noob when it comes to laptops, so any advice would be welcome. My choices are between the Asus G50Vt-X5 or one of the HP Pavilion dv7t series laptops. My budget is around $1000.
I was at Best Buy the other day when I was shown the Asus for the first time and I really like how it looked and felt, much more than the overly glossiness of the HP laptops. However, I know HP has a pretty good reputation, as the rest of my family has HP's and they seem to run just fine.
Here are the specs for both:

Note: I used Cnet for the Asus laptop because Asus's own website kinda sucks for providing specs.
Truth be told, I like to game a little and would really like to be able to run Star Craft 2 (if that has any signifigance to you guys) when it finally comes out.......
