How MUCH does the glossy screen reflect?

When working on a MBP with glossy screen, can you see your own reflection, like a shadow of your face or something? If I wave on the front of the computer when the desktop is showing, do I see my hand waving on the screen? I know that when the computer is not on, it's a complete mirror. I certainly don't like it to be a mirror, but the depth of colors made the glossy screen interesting. If the glossy makes that much glare, I have to go for the matte, thanksfor the info.

The Dells and HP's are horrible and have a constant
reflection. The MBP, on the other hand, is deep and
rich in color. It does not reflect when you are
sitting in front of it; at an angle you do get some
reflection, but I really don't notice it because the
screen is that good. I have a number of Powerbooks
with the matte finish and I really prefer the glossy
screen. I must say the new matte screens are much
brighter and nicer than the old ones. Best thing to
do is to go by an Apple store and compare the screens
side by side.
Agreed... I'm using a new MBP C2D glossy right now. I work with HP's, Compaq's, Toshiba's, and Sony's all day - Apple's glossy screens are noticeably less reflective than all of them... usually HP's are the worst (almost like a mirror!)

Hello,how much does the iphone 4 16gb unlocked cost if i want to buy it as a gift and to use it outside USA?

If you're talking about buying the phone in the US, forget it. There are NO unlocked iPhones sold in the US and no US iPhone can be officially unlocked. Thus, it doesn't really matter what it costs.

How much does the 500 gb cost?

There are older versions of the time capsule, how much does the 500gb time capsule ost & can it do just as much as the 1 TB?

Both the 1TB and 500 GB versions are out of production, so you'll need to check the used market if you want one of these devices.
Apple may still have some refurbished 1 TB versions with new warranty. Might be worth a look.

How much does the iphone cost each month

How much does the monthly plan cost?? How do I find out how much??

There is no monthly cost from Apple... the iPhone is a one time purchase cost.
Monthly costs are for service from the carriers. Contact the carrier that you intend to use and ask them.

How much is the rear screen glass iphone 4s original?

About £60, but the other option is to buy a screen from a popular internet based auction site, and fit it yourself using a video from a site such as You Tube.

How much does the screen brightness matter?

I love my new Macbook, especially the beautiful screen. I find myself worrying about battery life, even though I know I shouldn't. I keep the screen at half brightness on battery, and 3 settings higher when it's plugged in. It looks nice, but I'd love to run the book on full brightness. How much does this affect the battery? Will half brightness really save me 20...30...40 minutes? Has anyone run any tests to see battery life at different brightness settings?

Yes, one of the biggest consumers of power within your MacBook is the display. Why don't you find out for yourself what sort of differnce it makes given that experiences do differ. If you prefer to use your display at full brightness then do so. It is yours!

How much is the replacement screen frame in €€€

Hello
I broke my screen frame of my iPad 4, and I will know how much cost the remplacement in €€€€. My iPad 4 is under warranty
The screen frame is not the screen, but is the black mark.
I hope you'll help me.
ayoub20600 from SPAIN.

Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty, and in Spain the cost for replacing the iPad by Apple (the iPad is replaced, not repaired) is, from here, €289 (plus €12.10 if shipping is required). You might be able to get it repaired for less elsewhere, but if it's not done by an authorised repairer then the remainder of your warranty will be void.

The first generation iPad is no longer sold. With the possible exception of models that may occasionly show up in the refurbished store online.

Can any graphics pros tell me how to calibrate the glossy screen?

just curious.

There are a million different tools out there for monitor/printer/scanner calibration, but the one that's getting a lotta notice lately is the Color Munki from X-Rite...
http://www.colormunki.com
It's basically the latest bundled colorimeter & software product from X-Rite aimed at mid to high-level users that is crazy-simple to use and it takes all of 5 minutes for calibration. You can spend 2 grand or more for color calibration, but unless you're working in a graphics house, it's not really necessary. However, as good as the Colormunki is, it still ain't gonna calibrate a glossy screen to the point where you get a WYSIWYG output...it's just not possible with the heightened brightness of the glossy screens vs. matte screens. I spoke with my X-Rite rep last week to see if they have any idea if their current line of calibration devices will EVER be able to overcome the brightness differences between glossy and matte monitors and he told me they don't consider glossy monitors professional tools and therefore, don't focus on them seriously. He did say (which I have said all along) that color calibration is generally as good as with matte monitors, but the way a colorimeter 'reads' a monitor is not as simple as you might think...the way a backlit LCD monitor kicks out it's image fools colorimeters and there is no good way to make a calibration device that works on a glossy screen. I use Monaco EZColor with a Monaco OptixXR colorimeter and after trying about ten different variations I still can't get my iMac glossy display to come close to my Studio HD monitors. Color-wise, they're right on, but the iMac still spits out a file that is about 2/3's of a stop darker than it should be. My only work-around is to manually adjust the brightness control after the colorimeter has done it's work so that the final brightness output is darker than the software says it should be. Then I do a series of test prints to match the visual effect on the monitor with the output from my printer. This is HARDLY any way to run a professional-level output workflow, but what'cha gonna do?!!

How much does the display move ?

This is a stupid question but how much can the display be moved ? All the pictures that I see it appears that the display is at an angle. Can the display angled down ( like if I put it on a cabinet ) ?

I can't find the actual numbers, but the display tilts I think about 10 or 15 degrees back from vertical, and a little less than that forward from vertical. At least mine is that way... the new ones may be a little different. I got mine last May.

I put many movies on my iphone... currently have 650 songs, 3 full length movies and four 1/2 hour tv shows.
Size of an encoded movie depends on two things: bit rate (bits per second) and movie length. I use 480x320(which is really 480x208) and 960bps and most movies are 800mb to 1.1gb. I have used the higher resolution of 640x480 and 1.6mbps and these yield movies around 1.6-1.9gb, but not a huge difference in quality that you can tell on the screen (only on a computer can you tell the difference - which IS noticeable).
You can go low and encode movies at 320x240 (which is more like 320x176) and 600-700bps and probably be around 5-700mb per, but the image starts to become soft and you lose the sharpness that the iphone screen is capable of.
