Monitor out of calibration

I've been successfully calibrating my Apple 20" display with Spyder3. A week ago my calibration went out- way out. Everything is posterized, there is no detail in the highlights or shadows. The brightness button(which I locked) is missing from the "Display" window. Nothing I do seems to allow me to get the monitor back into calibration.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Everything is posterized, there is no detail in the highlights or shadows.
Check the "Enhance contrast" slider in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.
The brightness button(which I locked) is missing from the "Display" window.
Is the display's USB cable plugged into the computer? Do the Display's USB ports work?

Equium A100-306 Is the monitor out on the side the same as a DVI out?

Hello i was wondering is the monitor out on the side of my laptop the same as a DVI output? I am looking to connect my laptop to my hd tv, what is the best way? Can i use some sort of HDMI cable? Like a DVI to HDMI cable? Or is there a special cable for this?
When i try to use the svhs cable the screen is in black and white. Do i need to change any settings to rectify this?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

Why to HDMI? Why is this HDMI port so important to you? Your notebook has S-Video port and this port is for Video transfer to external device like the TV. The same situation is on my Tecra notebook
You have three possibilities to connect your notebook to the TV:
- using S-Video cable
- using chinch adapter http://www.nikomp.com.pl/opisy/AY000/AYVCW12N.jpg
- or using SCART adaptor http://www.lenexpo-electronics.com/e_italy/i/AdattatoreScartSVHS.jpg
It is important to enable the right port on the TV. Please note that on this way only the picture will be sent to your TV. If you want to send the sound you must use adaptor like http://ecommerce.intermediae.it/images/07628G.jpg and connect sound cable to the TV. Because of that I recommend you to use SCART adaptor and you can connect all cables there (video and audio).
I have tested it with my BRAVIA LCD TV and it works well.

Monitor Out - Qosmio X300-12S

I have a Qosmio X300-12S and I want to use my monitor out and use it into my TV.
I don't have an HDMI TV, so can't use that output.
I have bought a Monitor out to Composite/Scart but can't get it to work. I have tried going into the NVidia Control Panel and forcing rigorous detection, but with no luck.
Can anyone give me any clues?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your replies - my laptop only has a DVI / Monitor Out and a HDMI out.
Not sure what you mean by enabling the right port on my TV. I have plugged the composite cable into the sockets, and I tried a S-Video cable, but had no luck with either of them.
I don't really want to buy a HDTV so that I can watch things (although I'd like one, just don't want to pay for it!!!), but I feel like I'm having less choice as the time ticks on.
Thanks again...

Any chance e90 TV or monitor out?

Any chance for e90 TV or monitor out?

To the best of my knowledge there's no option per se.
You could try a program called Phonescreen. Though I don't know if it will work with the E90. This program allows the screen to be sent via BT to a PC.
640K Should be enough for everybody

How best to calibrate monitor using Display Calibrator Assistant?

I have had my 20" iMac since January 2007, but have not yet calibrated the monitor which I understand is a good thing to do periodically. I would like to do this using the Display Calibrator Assistant available via Mac System Preferences.
My Internet research on this subject has uncovered some controversy on how to perform the calibration. For example, a preponderance of opinion seems to be that the Gamma setting should be 2.2 instead of the 1.8 recommended by Apple for Mac OS computers. There are also differing opinions on whether to use the Expert Mode when calibrating.
I would appreciate an authoritative response on how best to perform the monitor calibration. For your information my primary interest regarding calibration is making sure that colors are correct when I am viewing and editing photographic digital images that I store in iPhoto.

Hey, Pete!
With my Nikon I can set the color space to either Adobe RGB or sRGB. Ken Rockwell (kenrockwell.com) is very knowledgeable in this area, and in his User's Guide for the D200, strongly advises the default sRGB setting unless the user really knows what he is doing with Adobe RGB and does his own printing. I don't agree with all of Mr. Rockwell's pronouncements, but on this issue I opted to follow his advice.
I don't find noise to be a significant issue with the D200 from ISO 100 through 1600. Noise gets pretty bad at ISO 3200, but the Noise Ninja program is very helpful in reducing noise to acceptable levels. Noise is worse in underexposed areas, but on balance I still prefer underexposure--within reason--to overexposure.
I started out my use of the D200 shooting everything in RAW + JPEG (Large Normal Optimal Quality), but in most instances I didn't feel that RAW gave me noticeably better results than JPEG. Also, RAW images chew up a lot of hard drive space. I now shoot most stuff JPEG, but employ RAW in situations that might present a problem, like when shooting sporting events in school gymnasiums which typically have abominable lighting conditions. With RAW images white balance is easier to adjust than with JPEGs. On the Internet I have read a number of impassioned arguments in favor of RAW over JPEG, but I still consider RAW to be a digital image format and not a religion! Therefore, I don't fear consignment to hades as a penalty for shooting JPEGs!

Which Monitor, under £300, & Calibration?

Hi All,
I'm going to upgrade from my old dell monitor by the end of this year, and I would appreciate your recommendations in suggesting possible monitors that work well with Lightroom & Photoshop, say for under £300? I live in the UK so would need to be from a retailer here. What about Ebuyer?
Similarly, can you recommend the best free way to calibrate my monitor?
In your honest opinion, if I'm spending £300 on a new screen, should I then spend another couple of hundred quid on the calibration software? What do you use/did use to calibrate your screen?
Thanks again for your help,
Joe

Hello Joe
I've been going through the same decision process and was about to post a similar message to yours. After a review of the market, I've decided to stay with my 5 year old Sony X95 with an MVA screen for a while longer in the hope that the choices/specifications will improve.
Here is a summary of the information I used to arrive at my decision. You need a monitor which has a display whose colour does not change with viewing angle (read this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD to explain the terminology). That rules out a TN screen (and 95% of the market), ideally you want an IPS display (preferably P-IPS) which will give you 30 bit colour depth (1.07B colours). I could only find two models in my price bracket: the Dell U2410 at under £500 (which does come calibrated (says Dell), so you don't need to spend money on a calibration package) and an HP LP2475W, at the same price point but apparently without the calibration feature. There is also an LG W3000H at a price close to £1000, this LG W00 series has only the one 30inch monitor, maybe smaller cheaper models in the series will appear later.
For calibration, I was only interested in getting my monitor to match both my printer output and the subject and I started from this guide years ago (which I am surprised to see still exists): http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html. I calibrated by eye using the various test images you can download and range of subjects I collected. I realise that this is not good enough for sending images for publication.
I look forward to reading the responses from the forum.

Monitor out of range

Brand new Mac Mini out of the box. Hooking HDMI to a Westinghouse L2610NW. Showing "out of range". No way to hook up VGA with what is out of box because there is only a DVI-D adaptor. Tried powering on with no HDMI connected. Tried connecting another computer to the monitor and that works. No DVI connection on the monitor. No other monitor available to connect to. Can you set to 1024x768 out of the box just to get through the set up?

The native resolution for your L2610NW is 1920 x 1200 and the Mac Mini supports that using the HDMI port.
With the monitor connected, reset the PRAM as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Monitor out of range problem

I have a G5 dual 2.3 with a Sony monitor (analog) connected to the DVI port by the converter that came with the Mac. I have a problem in that certain games set the default resolution to a setting that is out of range of the monitor. Specifically, the refresh rate is out of range for it. This same problem occurs with any VGA monitor I use. Is there any way around this? I just bought the Cars game for my kids, for example, and I can't use it (Cars does not have a windowed mode).

as a wild guess, some monitors come with software drivers that allow to get more options for setting parameters.
you can check Sony site for any drivers for your monitor model, and also check what video card you have in G5 and check on card manufacturer site for driver updates for Mac OS.

Monitor and Printer Calibration

I am running a MacPro 4.1 (early 2009). I have older monitor and printer hardware and their related software. Unfortunately, the software will not run because the Mac will not run PPC software. The software has both PC and Mac versions on the CDs. I originally ran these on a PC before switching to Mac. It appears that the manufacturer does not have new or updated software to enable these devices to run on the MacPro, and a Google search has not revealed any other devices that will run on this machine.
My question: Is anyone aware of any new such hardware with software that will run on this Mac?

Check out the blog and topic articles index, and the sections on Lion, RAID, and other issues, plus at the top, "Cloning as Backup Strategy"
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110915_2-LionFullScreen.html
No Mac Pro should be without redundant systems and backup methods.
Definitely not TimeMachine alone, and definitely not when moving to a new OS.
Backup now. Clone you drive. Or just get a new system drive - you will want and need a new OS drive and a backup drive for SL TimeMachine with at minimum room partition set aside for clone.
WD Green 1.5TB $109 makes a good size for both but it is always best to have separate drives / separate backup sets.
Install OS X 10.6.3 and update.
As for "old Sl FILES" you mean your old data? other than Apple Mail and some prefs, should all be the same. And keep your data files off of and on their OWC "data media drive(s)" or something if you don't already, and that makes sense to you. OS / Apps on one, media and projects on 2-3 drives, some external backup drives.
And keep anything you download. Updates, installers, programs, whatever.
Ask Lion Community. There were/are changes in what and how TimeMachine Lion works.
I personally never really had a good warm fuzzy feel about TimeMachine, especially when it was pushed out in "1.0" form in 2007 and had so many bugs and problems even in 10.5.2.
A lack of configuration options and preferences; why do I need to use 3rd party to configure Apple's? So I stick mostly with other programs. To clone, to make backups and archives, to synch.

Live Install - Monitor "Out of Range"

Brand new to Solaris, and fairly new to *nix.
Tried installing from the Live CD, and my monitor goes "out of range" when the GUI boots. Likewise, did the text installer, installed "slim_install" and enabled gdm and the same same thing occurred. I am able to boot from the Live CD with the VESA driver, but curious how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue without using VESA.
Video is Intel i915.
What would be the best avenue to t/s? Is there a config file I can use to specify the default video settings? Or is this a driver issue?

Just adding 1 to the kernel boot line is enough to boot in single user mode.
Try removing kdm from rc.conf and instead edit /etc/inittab where you can change the default run level from 3 to 5
id:5:initdefault:
and run kdm rather than xdm
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
If you get stuck in future, add 3 to the end of your boot line - you'll be in multi-user text mode but with network running so you can download packages, browse the forum with links. I recommend downloading the (text mode) mc file manager which also provides mcedit.

VGA monitor out of range error

Hello all,
I'm putting together a new computer with an oldish VGA only monitor. I used the latest installation disk. Installation went fine. I then did pacman -Syu of course. After that, whenever I boot my computer, it boots the kernel and shortly afterwards (before the login prompt) cause the monitor to go "out of range". I've tested the monitor with a Windows laptop and it seems fine. My question is: why did the VGA mode change during boot? How do I avoid that? If I can get a prompt and install X it'll be one step anyway. Thanks,

Monitor out of focus

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro referb which has worked fine for two months. Suddenly the monitor has started to go out of focus (esp type) in patchy areas. Oddly, when i move the cursor halfway down the monitor it appears to move up one pixel, too - any ideas?

GlenB: Sounds like you've zoomed in a little. To zoom in/out, hold down Control and scroll up or down using the trackpad (touch it with two fingers and move them up or down).
chris65: Sounds like you've changed the resolution to something lower than the native display. To change the resolution, go to System Preferences > Displays and pick the highest one in the list; that will be the native resolution on your display.

[SOLVED] Monitor out of frequency while installing

Past week I completed my first Arch Linux install in a laptop and everything works flawlessly, so I decided to install it also in my desktop computer. I boot from the CD, choose "Boot Arch Linux" option, some boot messages appear, some services start, and before udev service shows the [DONE] status, my monitor goes out of frequency and I can't see anything.
My monitor is a LG Flatron F900P (CRT with a max resolution of 1600x1200). Why is installation not working? Is there a way to force a working video mode during boot?

Have you tried out any of these tips?
What video card do you have?
Can't check this atm, but isn't it possible to select a screen resolution while booting the CD?

Dual Monitor Out of Frequency

I am reposting this from another area to see if get a response here.
I have a G5 Dual 1.8 machine with a GeForce FX 5200 DVI-VGA and ADC-VGA adapters. It drives to 17in Daewoo LCD monitors.
It all worked fine with dual monitors until I upgraded to 10.4.3. First alternatively one of my monitors went out of frequency after working through most of start up. Then the next causing the same work. Then after getting it to work by swapping around the monitors and reseting the frequency down to 75hz, both monitors went out of frequency.
I reinstalled tiger and upgraded all the way to 10.4.2 and am able to use both monitors. I did this in both archive and full mode. I also upgraded in steps several times so I am confident it is a problem that ocurs with 10.4.3 upgrade.
So it looks like their is a bug in 10.4.3 that does periodically puts the frequency out of range for the monitor.
I am posting this to be helpful to others who might experience this problem and to request any suggestions that I might have missed.

Now I just tried 10.4.5. Still the same problem. So again I went back to 10.4.2 and the problem goes away.
Given the lack of responses to my posting, I am puzzled - there must be someone else out there with a fx 5200 nvidia and vga monitors - why am I the only one with this challenge?
