IMac 24" with Glossy display?

I was wondering if there is a kind of glossy film that one can place on the iMac's diaplay to make it even better for watching DVDs by increasing the "blacks" and the "contrast"?
iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Hi, yes you are right. By accident I found in a german website, that the offer those films for 15" displays. This iMac is very new. We have to wait a bit more.

  • Has Anyone Ordered the MBP with Glossy Display ???

    I am on the fence like many people (except professional photographers) about this issue. I have seen it on the MacBook in the Apple Store and I cannot decide. The desktop blue color looks like true blue while the matte MBP look soooo washed out in comparison.

    I returned my mbp17 and ordered one with a glossy display, way better crisper graphics. If you're not constantly in intense light environement I think it's the way to go

  • How can I use my ADC apple cinema display on my iMac 2006 with mini display port?

    I got this new screen on eBay for £20 and its an old ADC display and to my annoyance I found there isn't a way to hook it up to my iMac with a mini dvi port . So I was wondering if there is a work around that the community has come up with or if its just best to sell it ( bearing in mind that the next best screen from apple that I know will work is around £80 on eBay)
    Thanks, Jonny

    You would need a DVI to ADC adapter, image below, search Ebay to find one in your area.

  • IMac 400mhz with crazy display problems

    I just finished assembling an iMac CRT and everything works great except for the display. For some reason the colors dont wanna line up and i cant figure out what the problem is. Ive tried everything i can think of. I ended up plugging in another monitor and everything on that display is fine. Is my iMac CRT toast?

    hi bob robson,
    for installing 10,4 tiger, you need an Apple which has built-in fireWire. this means that at least iMac 400 or a later model. 640 MB RAM is enough for installation. By the way, iMac G3 (640MB) is not an enough explanation to classify your mac.
    skype 1,4 needs:
    Macintosh computer with G3, G4, G5, or Intel processor
    Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer. (The widget requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.)
    128 MB RAM
    20 MB free disk space on your hard drive
    Microphone
    Internet connection (either dial-up: minimum 33.6 Kbps, or any broadband: cable, DSL, etc.)
    so if your iMac is 400Mhz or more and have 10.3.9 or 10.4.x installed, yes you can use skype.

  • New 27" iMac (2012) with Thunderbolt Display = Bezel Alignment?

    I know the previous generation iMacs (16:10 screen aspect ratio) did not physically align with LED/Thunderbolt displays when placed side-by-side. Since the new iMacs have a matching 16:9 screen, I am wondering if the two screens would physically align properly when used as dual displays?

    There is nothing wrong with Apple's refurbished machines, you're assuming they are returned with problems. These machines come with the same 1 year warranty as a new machines and are also eligible for AppleCare the same as a new machine. These machine are tested more than a new machine and if any issues are found they are fixed and re-tested. Apple puts machine into the refurb program for many many reasons, these can be new models were introduced and they're clearing old inventory, or scenarios like a husband bought new machine and the wife made him return it for spending money, or a possible defect. Don't take my word for it though search and you'll see Apple's refurbished machines have a terrific reputation.
    However I'm getting from reading your posts you are looking for reasons to not get a Mac and stay with Windows. If that's the case they by all means stay with what you know.

  • IMac 27" with Thunderbolt Display connected, Boot Camp Problem

    Hi everyone.
    Let me start off by saying that I'm using a late 2012 iMac 27", 3.4 GHz i7, 680MX, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB Fusion, with a Thunderbolt Display connected.
    I installed Windows 8 via Boot Camp, and it works just fine. Here comes my problem:
    I have dual screens and I play Minecraft. Minecraft's full screen is basically crap, and therefore I disabled the iMac display. I used Windows-button+P to use only the secondary display. This turns the iMac display off entirely, and leaves the Thunderbolt Display on. Note: This is not possible in Mac OS X. Then I played a little Minecraft. When I was done, i wanted the main iMac display to come on again. I then used Windows-button+P again, to turn both displays on. Then bam, totally looked like the iMac display was broken. See the images below, to see how it looks:
    1) http://cl.ly/image/1p2e3c1Z1z1C
    2) http://cl.ly/image/2g0n1M1Y0t0g
    3) http://cl.ly/image/2Q2P1c1J220d
    4) http://cl.ly/image/113b3K2O1Z43
    5) http://cl.ly/image/1q2v1s1n3w1f
    This image-retention-like stuff stays there, even if I reboot into Mac OS X, and then it eventually disappears. I can reproduce this, by doing the same thing again, (windows-button+p) but only in Windows, because that you cannot turn of the main display in Mac OS X. Maybe this is the reason why you can't?
    Anyone can tell me what I can do? I guess I could try reinstalling, but it seems more like a hardware issue, than a software issue.
    Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance.
    Another note: I'll try doing the opposite, and see if it happens on the Thunderbolt Display as well. (Windows-button+P, and then only using the main display)

    Ok, I am marking this as "answered", as I have solved it myself, while I still have no clue what lead to the problem in the first place.
    I've been on the phone with Apple Care today, and they were as clueless as I was and had never heard of this before.
    After we tried the usual stuff (unplugging all wires, PRAM Reset, SMC Reset), to no avail, I was told it could well be a hardware problem and that I should have the iMac examined at the Genius Bar, so an appointment was made.
    I'll cancel that one though, as I was able to cure it by myself for now (and carrying around a 27" iMac in Munich's busy downtown pedestrian zone is not really fun).
    This is what I did (and I'm so happy I tried):
    In Display Settings, I switched the external display back to landscape mode and selected "mirror displays".
    Then I rebooted, and voilà, the problem was gone (Apple logo on white background was showing).
    I switched it back to 90 degrees rotation and no mirroring, and it's still all ok.
    I booted Windows 7 in Bootcamp, then back to Snow Leopard, and it's all still fine.
    I can still only wonder what messed this up in the first place, but for now I'm happy.

  • Snow iMac 600mhz with crazy display problems

    my Snow iMac starts up fine, but after a short time the screen turns to bars of various colors and the cursor shows as a one inch square (which I can still move around with the mouse)
    If I unplug it for a few hours it will start up fine again, then become whacked after a short time.
    I'm thinking this is obviously some component over heating causing this. My question is which part has gone bad?
    I've done all the typical stuff: (re-set PRAM, booted from Disk, ran hardware test (everything passed) tried different RAM, swapped harddrives.
    Is there a cooling fan thats not working? (I don't suspect there is)
    Are there any other checks or test I can try before I write this one off?

    I also have a Snow 600 mhz and I have the same problem but with mine it will change from yellow to green to red and then to normal again. In fact it just did it to me right now! It just started happening this morning. Another thing, I bought a power surge protector with all the switches at a yard sale for 3 bucks and since then my fax machine has died and my mac is on the blitz all within a period of 1 month. Could this be a coincedence or possibly a problem with the power surge protector. I am very worried about the mac. The fax machine was give to me and this could be a serious problem with my mac.

  • I have a sugestion to Apple,Why they not build Imac's also with Retina Display.

    Dear Apple friends,i'm not Steve Jobs but i have a big sugestion to Apple.
    Why they do not build also I'macs with Retina display?.
    Is i't to expensive for Apple to do that?,or is i't at the moment impossible with the Technics in the Apple factory?.
    Mabye in the Future Apple can build Imac's with retina display and the newest chipset's build in.
    Dear greetings from a Dutch Apple user with pleasure.

    Maybe Apple has got that idea. However, note how difficult the design and how expensive an iMac with Retina display could be. Just imagine a 27-inch display with a 5120x2880 resolution ;-).
    Anyway, you can send the idea to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • AntiGlare switch with Glossy?

    I'm going to buy my friends 17" MBP off him soon. It as an antiglare display, I was wondering if Apple could replace it with a glossy display (I like the way the black border looks with the keys lol)? If they can, does it cost anything (has 3 year AppleCare)?

    No they won't replace it.
    If you don't want the anti-glare display Mac, sell it online to someone who requires it as they can't use any glossy displays. Mobile film producers like the 17" with it's 1920 x 1200 anti-glare as it shows their 1920 x 1080 HD video pixel for pixel.
    Anti-glare displays look better than even the new MBP-R with 75% glare reduction, shows HD video better and sharper too as it's not sized up to meet the whopping 2880 x 1800 display.
    I like the way the black border looks with the keys lol
    The anti-glare display can be used in nearly any location and the screen is clear and sharp with no glare or reflections.
    That's it's prime advantage. Your not going to be using the bezel or even noticing it anymore, rather looking at the screen and if you can see what's on it or not.
    The slight bezel color difference is nothing (it can be colored black by ColorWare if it really bothers you), after a few days and the "new car experience" wears off you won't even care as you get used to it and really never see it.
    Supposedly iFixit was offering black replacement bezels, don't know if that is still in effect or not.
    The long lasting factor of anti-glare screens is you can use it outside, near the pool, on the bus, in planes and classes with no glare.
    I get tons of compliments on the clarity of my anti-glare screen over others with glossy displays.

  • Purchased new W530 Glossy Display??

    Hello everyone,
    Finally I found a good deal on Thinkpad W530, I got  a good deal on it as its a display piece (the one placed in display shelves) hence I got it cheaper.
    I had few questions for which I need answer to ensure me that I havent been scammed by the seller;
    Here are the specs
    - Intel Core i7 3632QM @ 2.2 GHz
    - 8GB RAM
    - 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD
    - Quadro K1000M Graphics Card
    - Full HD Display (1080p)
    - 9 Cell Battery
    The only thing thats bothering me is that the display is glossy, I'm not sure W530's are shipped with glossy displays are not, as I assume most of the workstation series notebooks with 1080p display usually have matte display.
    I fear that the seller has changed the display!
    Can anyone confirm please?
    Moderator Note; subject edited.

    [cbassett360] ... it sounds like this is basic unit (although I don't recall any of the W530's having a K1000M.  All the ones I saw when I got mine was a K2000M (which I have) or the integrated Intel graphics, but the K2000M was the most common (I could be wrong).
    You are.  W530's are baked with either K1 or K2 cards.
    [cbassett360] And as stated above, no W530 has a glossy screen.  so if it does, it's probably not a W530 (unless by chance someone did a screen swap on it--which I don't know if you can even do that.)
    You can.  Swapping screens takes 10 minutes.  I do it all the time.  When did the screen make or break a W530?  This is crazy talk.  Gloss screens are an option for most any machine.

  • MacBookPro glossy display as good as iMac display?

    How good is the MacBookPro glossy display compare to the iMac display? I just love the colour of the iMac display, i noticed however that the matte MBPs in the stores are not as awesome as the iMac. I have no experience with the glossy MBPs and the store only displays the matte ones. Does anyone have an opinion if the MBP glossy display can match the display performance of the iMac?

    Chris look at my comments in this thread regarding testing reflections in sunlight glossy v matte:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1334434
    It is not so much the display as the way the computer produces the colors BTW. The iMac is capable of true "millions of colors" because it uses 24 bit color (8 bit each, RGB) however the MacBook Pro uses only 18 bit color (6 bit per color, RGB) This produces 260,000 colors which then are added too by dithering to provide the in between colors. While it works well and is beautiful it cannot compete side by side with the iMac, hence less 'wow' factor

  • How can I get a video signal using IMAC 27 with only mini display port. I like to send the signal wireless to a TV using a TV/audio transmit system.

    I have an IMAC 27 with a mini display port ( only this). I also have all the adapters ( mini display port to VGA, HDMI...).
    Since I moved to UAE I like to transmit the signal frm my IMAC ( where I also look German TV on) to my TV. I will do so by using a wireless Transmit receive system with theree cinch inputs ( transmit system ( video, 2x voice).
    The distance to the TV IS ABOUT 10m and one wall. I don`t want to use a cable.
    Is there any solution for example mini display to VGA + VGA adapter to cinch so I can use the transmit system?
    HDMI would also be an optiekn, bat then I have to by another Transmit receive system.
    If somebody made already the experience I would appreciate to share the information
    Is there may be any store in UAE where to get support. It is very diificult to get good advice here. They sell everything bat can not reaaly explain and have very often  no technical knowledge. With this problem nobody until now can help me.

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

  • Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

    I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP  to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links.  Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support.  Anyone have any Ideas!  My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
    Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it.  Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.
