I'm having some trouble with my m6400, but I'm not sure if its a Dell problem or my gfx card or Windows Vista itself.
Whenever I start my laptop the screen resolution gets reset to 1024x768, and I need to manually re-configure my screen.
Does anyone have an idea why this may be?
My TV's native resolution is 1366 x 768. My VAIO FW-190 has Intel Chipset and both the Windows built in software and Intel provided graphic card settings software do not show the 1366x768 resolution. I can't find a way to set the Vaio's HDMI output to that resolution.

** HOW CAN I GET 1366 x 768 RESOLUTION OR HOW CAN I CHANGE IT ?
Are all the new Z's set at 1920x1080 resolution? No more of the 1368x?? resolutions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a FW 290 with the ati graphics card. When I connect the laptop to my tv with the hdmi cable the resolution is displayed correctly on the tv at 1920*1080. However, when I disconnect the cable the laptop resolution goes to 1440*900 instead of 1600*900. So there are black lines on the edges of the screen. If I go to display settings or to the ati catalyst control center I cannot change the resolution back to 1600*900. 1440*900 is displayed as the max. The only way I can fix this is by restarting the computer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI love the Sony Z but the 1600 resolution is holding me back from recommending to a client because he can't stand those very high resolutions. We purchased a FW series (16.4" w/ 1920 res) and that was too high. 1600x900 looks even worse on a 13 inch.
My question is, is there any resolution options with the Z to go lower?
The SR "Blue Label" series that Sony made for Best Buy is the perfect machine, except the for the fact that it doesn't have dedicated graphics or good battery life. Is there any way to get a Z with the lower resolution?
Need 1366 x 768 resolution on 1600 x 900 model. Is it possible to do this by changing options in the hidden BIOS menu? Or by modifying the video card drivers?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMany folks considering the Sony Z have been asking the question of whether or not the "Full-HD" screen offered in some configurations/countries has "too high" a resolution, given the relatively low 13.1" screen size. While I can't answer that question for you, I thought I'd post a little table that can help to understand on a comparison basis where this sits, given current products:
As you can see, this walks through the spectrum from 24" monitors through the Sony Vaio P, which currently offers the highest DPI setting that I'm aware of on any currently shipping portable PC.
A few interesting observations:
For those who are accustomed to using E-Ink panels, the Z's full-HD screen offers essentially identical DPI.If you've ever seen a Sony Vaio P in-person, its admittedly very high DPI is indeed challenging for folks who don't have great short-distance vision.Even the low-resolution version of the Sony Z has a DPI that's higher than 18.4" 1080P notebooks.One source of debate relates to whether or not the Vaio Z's resolution is too high. Critics state that "magazines are 600 DPI+, how could you not read a much lower DPI"? The answer is that we're undergoing a critical transition.
The "problem" is that those who've used computers for years are actually accustomed to seeing pixels. Traditionally, operating systems and user interfaces have "assumed" a pixel density of around 100 DPI. What's changed is that we're beginning to undergo a transition from traditional displays to much higher density displays. Part of this challenge, led by E Ink, is how to effectively replace paper. In that context, viewing individual pixels is actually undesirable, while rendering fonts with authenticity is the top priority - precisely the top concern of most publishers.............
How do you handle 1600x900 resolution on a 13.1" screen?
I haven't seen it yet in person, but it seems like it would make everything VERY small (text, images, menus, etc).
Do you change the DPI? Do you modify any other settings? Do you get a stronger contact lens prescription?
Does anybody know whether is it possible to drive either 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 external monitor with Core-i5 Sony Z HDMI output or docking station?

Does anyone have both a Sony Z and a EEEPC 9"? How do the resolutions compared? Is it bigger or smaller than a 9" Netbook with 1024x600?

I'm set on getting a 1080p display in my next laptop and so far, Sony has the best choices! This is coming from someone who has purchased or influenced the purchase of about 17-18 Dell laptops.
Was told that there are a couple of Z690 notebooks with 1366 x 768 resolutions. Is this possible?
View 10 Replies View Relatedthinking of getting the Vaio Z but still cannot decide which resolution to go for (1366x768 or 1600x900). I've got some pics that should help you guys out. Unfortunately, I do not have any side by side comparison photos between the 2 of them. Furthermore, I do apologize for my very poor camera & photography skills.
One thing to take note of is that for both Vaio Z, all the setting are in their "default" values (Default screen resolution, 96 DPI, etc.)

i just bought a Sony Vaio Z (1600x900 resolution) and noticed that the 1600x900 resolution is way to small for me, cant barley see any text on the screen
so when i change to the next resolution (1280x) all the text and fonts get horribly blurry and "loses" the crisp that it had in the 1600x

I just bought a brand new Sony Vaio VPCF11M1E and I have the following problem:
Because in normal stand the screen is very small, I enlarged it to x150%. Everything becomes bigger, but the following parts are blurry and absolutely not sharp:
-Pop ups, of programs and of windows itself (like advanced settings of something and then a new windows pops up, that one is then totally blurry; you can read it, but it is not the good resolution)
-Google chrome (and with that, all the internet pages)
-The google chrome on the desktop is also very blurry, while all the others, are still sharp (after the enlargement by 150%)
I have tried everything (32 bits colours is on, cleartype is on). I also did a system restore to the first days I bought the laptop and then it was on 100% so the resolution was excellent, but then I put it on 150% and again, the parts I mentioned above, were blurry.
I plan on buying the dell studio 14z in a few weeks, but the screen resolution is holding me back right now from purchasing it. I don't know whether I should get the 720p or the 900p.
I am afraid that if i go with the 900p, the text will be too small for me. Please let me know what you think I should get. PLEASE POST PICTURES OF BOTH 720P AND 900P IF YOU HAVE ANY
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. Traditionally,(well at least for me anyway) laptop/montior screen resolutions are represented by two numbers. E.g. 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050 etc. But on the XPS 16, it's available in 720p and 1080p? What exactly are their resolutions? 1280x720 and 1920x1080(assuming they come in 16:9 aspect ratio?)
If so,
Q1) On a 16inch display, wouldn't one want more 'space' than 1280x720 gives? For me personally, the resolution should at least be 1440x900 but better be at 1680x1050.
Q2) On a 16inch display, can one REALLY tell the difference between 720p and 1080p?
When using an external monitor such as a large screen LCT HD TV, what is the maximum output resolution you can get and is it via HDMI or VGA?
According to Dell online tech support VGA is a low res output and HDMI is preferred.
I have just bought a second hand Acer TM4150 and I can't get a better resolution than 1024 * 768. I would like a resolution of 1280 * 960, does anyone know how I can achieve this. Can you fool it into thinking that it is the attached monitor (default monitor not the plug and play monitor), which seems to have these capabilities. Can someone tell me about plug and play monitor which sends info to the processor (EDID or something like that).
I have the correct driver, and I have tried different drivers. Is there a universal driver that could do this?
I recently purchased an Acer tm4510 laptop (Mobile INTEL(R) 915GM/GMS, 910 Express Chipset Family) and the resolution is not very good. I can only get 2 resolutions, 600 * 800 and 1024 * 768. I would like to get a higher resolution, such as 1280 * 960. Is this possible, I saw somehwere about non plug and play monitors which would have a higher resolution. Can make the processor think it is a non plug and play (something about EDID information back to the processor). I have the correct drivers and I have tried several others without sucess. The main reason I want the better resolution is edit JPGs and to maybe watch a video sometime. Does anybody know how a can better resolution for these events.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got my new Studio XPS 1640 in the mail today and got a little excited. I started tweaking stuff galore, following the variety of vista tweaking thread for reducing boot time, speeding up your comp etc... but I think I must have screwed something up because the computer started lagging like crazy. i couldn't even navigate in "My Computer"
So me, being all excited and dumb decided that I would reinstall Vista and partition my C drive (which is a 256gb SSD btw, if that's important), instead of learning about the Factory Image Restore.
So now my screen resolution sucks, and I'm frustrated and tired of trying to fix this. I just want it back to how it was before, fresh out of the box. I have the Vista CD and The Driver CD, and I tried installing every damned driver and application and whatever, but it's never the same as it came out of the box.
I can't find the webcam or facial recognition software anywhere and I'm missing the cool dock at the top and bleh. I'll stop ranting, but if anyone. ANYONE, knows how to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I just want the good laptop that I paid 2000$ for.
