Iam trying to export a document from Indesign into a PDF. The size of the spreads is 1920x1080 px and when I open it in Acrobat on my monitor (Full HD) the view is set at 53% and some texts and images look really bad. If I put it on 100% it gets really huge.

I often do presentations for HD scale/ratio, and simply use pages that are of some comfortable size to work with, in inches or picas and in the HD ratio. Either 19.2 x 10.8 inches, or halve that. It produces full resolution in the PDF at modest file sizes. There is no need to try to export to a specific screen resolution/pixel size; Reader does a fine job of fitting full pages at any adapted resolution. Export to that specific size will just create lower-quality images, for the most part.


The critical point here may be a common misunderstanding (not necessarily the OP's) about how PDF works. A lot of questions and issues seem to revolve around the notion that it's (inherently) pixel-image pages.


Ive been searching for weeks for answers, removing drivers, reinstalling drivers, changing cables, changing monitors - but I cant get a resolution higher than 1920x1080 under Windows 10. Windows 7 was perfect.


Ive also attached an updated diagnostic report from GCC, again showing that 4k res is supposed to be supported and achievable, but these modes are not listed or available under "list modes" from the Windows advanced graphic options or inside GCC. Again, screenshots attached of everything.


Just really weird the Intel logs show all the correct resolutions available, but Windows "list modes" isnt showing them. Ive even tried removing, reinstalling the BENQ display drivers, choosing generic ones without success.


Open the application and select "Everything", click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel SSU will take you to the "Summary View". Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View". To save your scan, click on "Next", then "Save". Please attach the file to your reply.


Just as an update, I removed all Windows 10 updates, feature packs etc. then reinstalled the graphics drivers - all available versions - 1 at a time - but it made no difference. Higer resolutions arent listed in "list modes".


..but the driver installed is definitely v31.0.101.2111 - as shown further down in the log, line 41 and elsewhere, and is also shown in the Windows driver gui and Intel GCC. Red herring or not, just thought id point it out.


I have tried all aspect ratios, I have used the "factory reset" option on the Benq monitor itself, I have been through all of the available options on the Benq monitor - on/off/disabled - absolutely every single setting which can be toggled has been.


I hate to say it but im giving up and just moving to Linux. Its taken way too much time and effort. Having run a search on this community there are thousands of issues with this HD 630 graphics option. Dell have been 0 use either.


I am sorry to hear you are still having these issues, and we understand you have decided to move to Linux. We would need to further investigate about this in order to get to a resolution, as for now, we will proceed to close this thread.

I want to run the guest in 1920x1080 (16:9) so I can easily record screencasts in "full-hd". Last time I had this problem the solution was to run "VBoxManage controlvm nameofyourVM setvideomodehint width height colordepth" command from the host but now I want to know if there is any easier way to solve this?


This does require that the matching version of VirtualBox Guest Additions is installed and running inside your VM. Check the status bar inside your Windows VM for a small VirtualBox icon (usually has a yellow star). If you have that icon in your Windows VM status bar it means the Guest Additions are installed. Confirm that the version number matches the VirtualBox App version running on your host (hover over that icon to see the Guest Additions version number and do a "Help > About" in the Virtual Box app to see that version number).


I tried a lot, but just changing the graphics settings/graphics controller in the host machine's options from VMSVGA to VBOXSVGA started the Ubuntu VirtualBox immediately in the right resolution for me, i.e. 1920x1080.


I had the same issue, i installed fresh ubuntu, then updated all packages + dkms, then rebooted in fullscreen. Installed the Guest Additions while being in fullscreen mode, and rebooting in fullscreen...


In applications, open Displays -> Click Resolution (now I had to drag the window, because it couldn't display the various resolution options) -> Choose a different setting (long list to choose from) and press Apply.


If you google this issue, there are a lot of threads with the same symptom, all with different solutions. It's clear that this is a symptom that can be caused by multiple root causes. I had multiple Linux Distros (Ubuntu 20.04, 21.04 and 21.10, Debian 10 and 11, and Manjaro) as vms that could not display 1080p resolution , but could display 4:3, 16:10 and lesser 16:9 resolutions. Both of my monitors are maximum 1920x1080, so that should be the obvious inherited resolution of the guest.


This problem occurred both in virtualbox and vmware player...I moved my vm to my second monitor, noticing that after doing so I was able to full screen the vm and set resolution to 1080p. I was then able to move the vm back to my primary monitor, retaining the 1080p resolution. For some reason, something about my primary monitor is preventing guests from including 1920x1080 in the list of available resolutions, despite it being a 1080p monitor.


Since it happens on both vmware and virtualbox, its probably not obvious that its a bug in the virtualization software. That being said, if the host can detect my resolution on first boot of my newly formatted pc, the guest should be able to as well, and the logic for that detection would seem to be at fault. For my particular use case, its probably very hard to reproduce and thus not been debugged. Interestingly Fedora 34 got it right the first time, it was able to identify my correct resolution without me having to manually set it...


I too had the same issue. I installed dkms and then installed the Linux headers as per @Daniel answer. Then rebooted Ubuntu while remaining in full screen mode and it switched straight to the correct 16:9 resolution.


I have a working method. This will work for sure 100% . This method works in Oracle Virtual BoxAll you have to do is go to run command prompt as administratorThen type the following command-cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"After typing this command now you have to check what name have you given to your OS when creating a new Profile for OS in virtual box . for e.x. I want my MAC OS to full HD , i named my OS as MAC OS ,so the command will be-VBoxManage setextradata "MAC OS" VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution 1920x1080Only these two commands, just replace MAC OS with your OS name in virtualbox , just restart your virtual box and see the effect ;) thank me later.


For me , I couldn't get the Linux Mint window to display crystal clear without having the scrollbars showing lost screen space. When I selected the resize in the top right (2 square boxes that resize windows) to get everything to fit, the fonts on the screen turned fuzzy.


The answer was to select View > Full Screen Mode from the top menu after I got the warning box on startup about the switch mode. This puts a small hidden VBox menu at the top of the screen which is perfect. You can see "Full Screen Mode" on the picture of the menu in one of the posts above.


It's been a long time since I've last played with VGA but I know that the standard doesn't just do every resolution out there - I was wondering if the graphics card can support it (computer is an iMac, not an issue) - if a VGA connection can actually handle a resolution of 1920x1080 or if DVI is simply just required.


Is there any real difference between 1920x1080 or 1920x1200? I also hear about higher resolution ones but I don't think a GTX 660 could run it natively. Any suggestions? P.S i'm mainly gaming and watching movies.


Commissar is right. The number of pixels do not account for the size of the monitor, but only the aspect ratio (examples 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 etc...) as he said.



Videos (as Commi said) are in 1920x1080 at max resolution. So they will not be completely compatible with 1920x1200 screens (As said, there will be black on the bottom and top of the screen).



For games, I have no experience with 1920x1200, but 1080 looks pretty awesome already and I can't imagine that there would be a lick of difference. 1920x1200 (in this one's opinion) is more useful toward productivity (since you can have a little more information on the screen at one time). But for movies and games, I would go for 1080p if its significantly cheaper.



Now to find the send button because I am on a 800x600 screen and I can't see squat.



P.S.- Very wise about your decision not to go higher on the 660s. Would have been a huge waste of money and no fun


You get a little more vertical vision in games with 1920x1200, so that's something to consider. Blu-ray movies are always going to look better on a 1920x1080 screen though, because that's their native resolution and aspect ratio. They will fill out the entire screen at 1920x1080 unless the recording has letterboxing by default, but either way you're going to get more black space when watching movies with a 1920x1200 monitor.


But if you do mainly gaming, and you dont care alot of viewing angles, then a TN panel 1080p will also be a great choice realy on a good price point, i realy dont see a point going on a much more expensive 16:10 panel.. maybe if you do some professional graphical designing work or something, but those screens are much more expensive..
