Which settings for 27" monitors?

After setting up two new Maverick systems with 27" monitors (iMac 27" and MacBook Pro with 27" Thunderbolt Display), I find that some things are a bit difficult to read (labels, captions, some web pages and such). I have tried changing monitor resolution to the suggested scaled resolutions, but makes everything a bit fuzzy.
Are there a few general settings I could go to, to ensure minimum font sizes used system-wide?

I tried setting the CPU ratio to 1:1.0
You mean FSB/DRAM (Memory) Ratio? If you set it to 1:1, your memory is operating at the same speed as the FSB Clock (333 MHz (or DDR3-667). Check the current Memory Frequency with CPU-Z ("Memory").

tried checking if the memory voltage was correct
Industry Standard Voltage is 1.5V +/- 0.075V. You do not have "real" DDR3-1600 modules, but factory overclocked DDR3-1066 or DDR3-1333. OCZ has a strange policy of not informing users about the native specifications of their memory modules (they advertise overclocked/overvoltaged ratings only and these are not necessarely stable).
You should be able to set FSB/Memory Ratio to 1:1.6 in BIOS without having to increase the memory voltage much (your memory will then operate @333 MHz x 1.6 ~ 533 MHz (or DDR3-1066). Set the memory voltage to 1.6V (use the +/- keys of your keyboard's numpad).
I am still very curious about the answer to this question:

can you please check which process or processes are causing the CPU Load?

"Could not retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring."

So my VMs are hosed because suddenly Azure cannot retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring. If I try to start the VMs, it fails for this reason. If I try to configure the VMs, it fails for this reason. When I look at ENDPOINT MONITORING
under CONFIGURE it constantly says "Loading..." This all began when today I tried to switch a VM from STANDARD to BASIC configuration. Now I can't start any VM.

Once I powered off the VM there was no starting it again, even after switching back to STANDARD config. Same "Could not retrieve the settings for endpoint monitoring" error every time. I gave up, duplicated the disk, and created a
new VM from scratch, which has no issue with endpoint monitoring. Ridiculous that I had to do that. Azure continues to be as brittle and unreliable as a drunk monkey.

Apply Settings for EWA Monitoring missing

Hi all,
we are adding a SAP HANA Technical System on Solution Manager, but we found problems on EWA:
We followed the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1542651 for using Early Watch Alerts on HANA Standalone (without Netweaver ABAP) and then followed the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1747682 for add an HANA Technical System on Solution Manager.
The fact is that in step 6 of "Managed System Setup" we don't found "Apply Settings for EWA Monitoring":
In attached image you can see only 4 activities instead of five: the follow image is taken from another Solution Manager (SPS10, but SPS7 works the same)
We have SAP HANA 1.0.69 and Solution Manager SPS8.
Why "Apply Settings for EWA Monitoring" is missing? How can i apply this settings?
Best regards,
Roberto

After 19 hours of this problem, it is now resolved on the management portal. There was no mention of it being a problem on the Azure Status page.

What target settings for LCD monitor calibration?

I have recently installed Spectraview II to calibrate my NEC LCD 2180WG monitor but have some doubts on which target settings to use as there are different opinions on color temp, gamma and intensity choices.
I use my system purely for photo post-processing and printing on color calibrated printers. I use AdobeRGB color space and have no interest for processing images for web.
- What color temp do you use/recommend? D50, D65 or something in between? I see that some folks use D65 and others swear by D50.
- What about Gamma choice 1.8, 2.2 or L* ? Same here, no common choice here too.
- Lastly what about intensity (brightness in terms of cd/mm2)?
NEC recommends Target Settings for Printing, which are D50, 1.8 gamma and Max. Intensity, but I'm not sure.
I'd appreciate if you could recommend correct settings for my type of work.
Thank You

Charles,
I arrived at 5100K by measuring a few of my favorite printing papers with my spectrophotometer. This was a good compromise (most measured between about 4800K and 5300K). I confirmed the results by trying various calibrations them comparing the monitor to prints (using custom printer profiles). Anywhere near 5000K looked great, but 5100K was the best match of the bunch. I used 5000K lighting for viewing (Solux and Philips light sources).
Luminance settings were done in a similar fashion. First I compared a ppure white Photoshop document (on the monitor) to the intensity of a sheet of white printing paper displayed under my viewing light. With the monitor luminance set to the 85 cd/m2 range, the two documents look about the same brightness of white. I try to view my prints under "moderate" light levels rahter than ultra bright levels, since I know they won't be lit by spot or flood lights when placed on a wall. If you do have spots on your hung prints, there is a case to use a higher luminance level on your monitor. Anyway, on many LCDs, if you set the luminance too high, your blacks can start to look a little washed out. When set to about 85 cd, my tonal range in the print is a great match to my monitor. If I have the monitor luminance set to 100 or higher, I find that my prints look dark and muddy in comparison (unless viewed under unrealistically bright lights). So, a lot of trial and error, plus some initial brightness comparisons.
Gamma is a tougher one. I have a special viewing target that I bring up in Photoshop (Lab based to prevent any possible conversions). When viewed in Photoshop at full magnification, it helps me to set the gamma, which affects mostly the midtone density. On my LCD, I found )again by trial and error) that 2.0 gave me the best tonal distribution. My old CRT worked best at 1.8 gamma, and other LCDs sometimes work best at other gamma settings, such as 2.2.
The above settings work beautifully given my equipment, my viewing levels, ambient working conditions, etc. My monitor to print match is excellent from both a color and tonal range standpoint. Hope that helps clarify my thinking and approach.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

Multiple Settings for One Monitor

I have my monitor set to the way I like it, it shows colors accurately and not overly bright (white doesn't blind me). However I edit photos for the web in PS and this is great for my screen but I have noticed when looking at other screens my photos will at times looked washed out and not a good presentation. If I manually change my monitor settings to be brighter (and a few other tweaks) I can replicate the look of other monitors close enough to help prevent washed out/blown out photos. Here is the issue, I need to be able to change settings between the two fairly easily. To manually set my monitor for one then back to the other can be time consuming and a pain to set right every time.
I would like to be able to preset certain settings (in software) that I can quickly switch between by pressing hotkeys or clicking shortcut on my desktop. I have an AMD video card and have attempted to use the AMD VISION Engine Control Center to add presets then tweak the settings for each. However when I switch between the presets the settings are the same.
How do I build presets using the VISION Engine Control Center that actually works (maybe I misunderstand what it is saving?) or is there a way to do this in Windows 7 or free software that actually works decently for this purpose?
Note: I post this here as I assume someone here has done this or seen soemthing like this.
Thanks!

Hi,
Why not to use a event based monitor to detect the Task Schedule running status? I am not familar with VB script, the suggestion I can give is you need to check if the script cannot properly detect the running result of the task Schedule.

Which settings for exporting from iMovie '09

I have a couple of projects coming up, and I'll be using a MiniDV camera (Canon XL1S) and a hard drive camera (Canon Vixia HG21).
For final editing I'm using iMovie 6 (still feel the most comfortable with it), but need to use iMovie '09 to import AVCHD footage from the HG21.
What are the best settings to use for exporting that footage out of '09 and into '06? I hate to lose major quality on the HG21, but don't really mind if it looks comparable to the XL1S. These projects are really demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality (besides, I'm not sure if I have the HD space to work with the biggest files. Also, I don't plan on burn to Blu-ray or anything like that. I'm just needing to burn standard-definition DVDs, and plan on doing that with iDVD.
Basically I looking for advice on the proper quality settings for these needs, and also wondering if I'm looking at any issues regarding the different aspect ratios I'll be dealing with.
Thanks much…

Many thanks Lennart, and my apologies for a typo earlier when really confused you by leaving out one key word. I meant to say, "These projects are really (not) demanding that I keep it at optimum HD quality…"
I like your idea of pillarboxing the whole project, filling an entire widescreen TV with my Vixio footage. I assume the key is to open my new iMovie '06 project with the "DV Widescreen" setting, right?
Regarding how to convert AVCHD down to SD… I've been experimenting some with iMovie '09 on my intel-MacBook. Please tell me if I can forego the VoltaicHD purchase by doing this:
- I'm importing my Vixio footage into '09, choosing the "Large - 960x540" setting, just to keep the file size down.
- I'm then choosing Share>Export Movie, and again, I'm choosing the "Large" radio button.
- When the movie has exported, I'm seeing that it is saved with a .m4v extension. iMovie '06 will not allow me to drag a .m4v file into the clip pane. However, if I change the extension to .mov, I AM able to drag it in, and it appears that all is working ok.
What do you think? Is this workable? Am I sacrificing something with this method? Though I have not yet ripped anything to DVD, the quality seems good, (for SD standards, anyway).
One other question: Is it possible to export multiple clips out of '09 so that they can be brought into '06 individually? So far, all I'm able to do is to export them as one complete "movie," with all of my raw clips locked together. I'd like to have them separated when they arrive in '06. Maybe this is easy to do, and I just have not figured out this feature in '09.
Thx again…

Best rgb and gamma settings for external monitor with mountain lion

Hi,
I'm using an LG LED 22 inch monitor with my MBP mid 2010 via minidisplay to hdmi. on OS X side the settings have been default. On the LED side the settings , if set to preset RGB it tends to fade the whites a lot. when i set to user definied and let the preset rgb be at it is, the colors are quote decent. currently they are on R 50, G 58 and B 59 and Gamma 1. Which is the best RGB and Gamma value for OS X Mountain Lion?

Welcome to the forum.
First off, you need to go and buy a hardware monitor calibrator, such as an OptixXR or similar. This will build a custom monitor profile for your specific screen. Without this starting point you can forget ANY attempt at accurate colour matching.
Never (and I mean never) use a working space such as sRGB or Adobe98 as your monitor profile, that's not what they are designed for. Working spaces control what colours are possible in the image, monitor profiles control how those colours are shown on screen. Aperture uses it's own working space so you don't have to worry about that too much.
To answer the rest far too briefly, I'd suggest setting the proofing profile to sRGB and of course use sRGB for the export preset. The gamma setting you will have to adjust depending on how dark the Lightjet prints look compared to your screen. You will have to do test-strips to start with.
Your images looking crap on flickr on Windows machines is partly because Windows web browsers generally do NO colour correction, and only partly to do with the different gamma.

Oki Printer scan to mail function - which settings for icloud?

I am using an Oki MC560 multifunction printer.
It also has a scan-to-mail function which i now intend to use with my @me.com address.
Unfortunately i can't find any information what to enter in the setup.
At least in the preferences it only suggests a server number (like 192.168.3.5), not a name (like smpt.me.com).
Does anybody know the correct preferences for that printer or where to get it?
Oki itself couldn't provide me that information.
Thanks a lot.

Incoming server: imap.mail.me.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com
username: your email address
smtp server port: use defaults. SSL Enabled
All this means practically nothing
1. "Incoming server: imap.mail.me.com"
     (Tried To set-up new mail account with this - nothing)
2. "Outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com"
     (Is already set to this!)
3. "username: your email address"
     (where?)
4. "smtp server port: use defaults. SSL Enabled"
     (Where? There is no "default setting" in Mail 2.1.3)
My mail settings are all messed up and need to be completely re-set.
I need more descriptive instructions (illustrated), if possible, for setting up a new mail account in Mail 2.1.3 that will work with the new iCloud.

Any idea which settings for Leica D LUX 3 RAW files?

Hello,
First time here and I hope this is the correct place for this question.
I have just bought a Leica D LUX 3 because I wanted to use raw files for the first time.
When I double click the raw file (20MB) PE v4 asks me for pixel dimension size width and height?
It also has a button for guess and 8bit or 16bit.
I can't seem to open these files yet.
The Leica Shoots 16:9 at 10 mega pixels but I haven't a clue what PE4 is asking for.
Can you help please?
Many thanks
scott mackenzie

I just read through the readme file of ACR 3.7, which is officially the
highest version supported by PSE 4, and it does support the Leica D-LUX 3.
You can either download that version or first try version 4.2, which is more
advanced. It may or may not run with PSE 4. You can find the download
links here (I am assuming Windows):

Which settings for Square reader only?

I am new to iPhones and Square. I have a Square Reader and the app on an iPhone 4s. I want to use the phone for selling bead jewelry at parties, shows, etc. I don't need any other app or procedure to be running when using Square (so as to conserve battery life).
I shall be using a wi-fi connection.
I know how to process a sale, etc. using Square but I don't know how/what to disable on the iPhone. I would appreciate whatever advice can you give me?

Clyde:
Upon further research (as suggested by Diesel) it seems that Airplane Mode turns off Wi-Fi, GPS, and Location Services all of which Square needs for processing transactions.
I can go back in and turn them on, of course. I wanted to clarify in case anyone else had the same question I had.

'Fastest' Settings for WRT600N in 'N' Mode?

I find the linksys manual ambiguous in regard to which settings for this router will yield the fastest speeds in pure N mode. I have one wireless N computer. I'd like it to be able to get the very most out of my new WRT600N router. Is there a list of router settings that will provide this? I'm talking about the standard and any advanced settings... Thanks!

Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Frag thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet Requests & it will definately work!!!

Request for optimal calibration settings for Lenovo ThinkVision monitors

I understand one person's settings may not hold true for someone else's given display variances, but I would very much like to get anyone's suggested, optimal picture settings for each of the below two monitors.
Primarily monitor 1 looks way worse than monitor 2 for me, but I still want help with both. Models listed below. Please include each item/setting with # used so I can try them out and see if it helps.
Monitor 1: LEN L1900pA
Monitor 2: LEN LT1913pA
Thank you for your help!

Hi Jwhyrock,
Jwhyrock reply,
I played with settings on all 3 monitors. Not entirely sure I like what I did, but it is a bit better. I would still like to see what settings anyone else is using for their display such as contrast, brightness, color saturation etc.
Below is the link on how to setup the default calibration for display, please follow the steps. And also suggest you to check with resetting the Monitor to factory default setting in the monitor, or you can also check with installing Monitor .inf for the specific model which can be downloaded from the manufacturer link.
Display Calibration
Hope this helps!
