Are there any other ways to adjust the display settings / resolution?Īny feedback or tips here would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps the problem is with my Ugreen MiniDisplay port adapter.

#Max resolution on external display for mac air 2014 software
I am wondering if I should go with a different brand of monitor that has software for Mac. I posted on the Apple forum as well but haven't received a response. I feel I souldn't have to do this, and I am wondering why my monitor has a difficult time working with the Macbook Air.

Sometimes I'll restart the computer and/or plus the MiniDisplay adapter out and plug it back in, and I can get it back to the display providing a pleasant viewing experience. It seems that after my computer goes to sleep or the display has been on for a while, the monitor goes back to displaying text in a somewhat fuzzy / blurry way. I also went through the basic calibration process, and felt that did a nice job as well with displaying text and images. I actually got to a point where I was happy with the display experience. I found a few default Display profiles on the Mac that did a much better job with the display, including SMPTE-C and PAL/SECAM. I noticed there were not a lot of ways to adjust the setting. It uses the 1920 x 1080 resolution 60 Hz. I went into the Display pane under System Preferences of my Mac. I viewing the troubleshooting sections on HP's support page for "Fuzzy text, blurry or stretched images" as well as "General troubleshooting tips for display quality issues." Those tips were not immediately helpful, and I also noticed that the software for the display is only available for Windows. I haven't used the monitor extensively for viewing photos or video yet, but it seems to peform better on those fronts. It is difficult to describe - the text is not overtly blurrly or fuzzy, but it is not a pleasant reading experience, and as far as basic tasks that I do as a writer, I would actually prefer to use my laptop without the external display.

In the past, I have used external displays (usually Samsung) with PC laptops, and never encountered this issue. When I first set it up, I noticed that the experiencing of reading and viewing text was not as crisp and clear as it is when I use the Macbook Air without a display. I am having issues with the display quality. I connected the monitor using a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI / VGA adapter from Ugreen, and the HDMI adapter that was included in the box with the HP 24ea monitor. Besides the positive reviews I saw, including from Mac users, I liked that the silver aesthetic of the monitor matches my Apple products. I compared the specs for the different sizes, and they appeared to be the same, so I figured HP lowered the price when it introduced the 24".)Īnyway, I setted on the HP 24ea after looking into a number of options for external displays for my Macbook Air. (Interestingly, the manufacturer's price for that size is $45 cheaper than the 23", and it has built-in-audio, a feature the other size models of the same monitor don't have.

As you'll see in the Amazon listing, this monitor comes in five different screen sizes.

I recently purchased an HP 24ea IPS LED monitor as an external display for my 13" Macbook Air (early 2014 model). First, I did not see a forum directly related to HP Monitors / Displays, but I am posting to the most closely related board I found.
