20 inch screen not as good as 24 inch screen?

Leaving aside the whole matte/glossy issue for a minute, I've heard that the quality of the 20 inch screen isn't as good as the 24 inch screen. Is this the case? Or are people just being picky?

I visited a computer store a few days ago to check the glossy screen problem. They had the new 20 inch and 24 inch iMac on the same side of a room, not too far apart. Maybe it was just me, but I thought the 20 inch display distinctly inferior to the 24 inch display. I was planning on getting the 24 inch, not the 20 inch, so maybe I am prejudiced. I didn't get either, because of the reflections from the glossy screen. I'll wait for Apple to bring out a better replacement display.

    I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

    I have not researched further in solving this issue for a couple of months.  Still using my iPhone 6+ 128GB with around 64GB free space, not dare to load more stuff at the risk of reboot loop.  I am still at iOS 8.1.  Anyone know would 8.1.3 solve the issue?  Thanks a lot.

  • Qosmio X305 screen not displaying like my desktops LCD screen

    My screen seems to be displaying dull images.
    I'm kinda concerened, because it's an LCD screen, and its not displaying like my desktops LCD screen.
    I put the brightness up, and that helped to see the images better, but they still are not of the quality they should be.
    Is there a way to fix this? Or is that just how it is?

    Many Desktop LCD Monitors can get very bright, much brighter than most notebooks. So it may just be how it is. Perhaps you could go to the shops and compare it to other X300's on display.
    Try resetting or modifying the Contrast/Colour/Brightness settings in the nVidia control panel.

  • External 24 inch Monitor Not Crisp at 1080p with HDMI (and does not fit screen)

    I have a Macbook Pro (about a year old) and just bought a 24 inch ViewSonic VX2453mh-LED. I have it plugged in via HDMI and at 1080p the desktop bleeds off the edge of the screen. Adjusting the underscan makes the desktop fit correctly, but it does not look crisp. Even when Underscan is all the way off and the desktop is too big for the screen, it does not look nearly as good as my Macbook screen.
    I cannot change the settings on the monitor to adjust the screen size, presumably because I am using HDMI and have it set at 1080p. All the other resolution options are awful. How can I fit the screen correctly and esure I am getting the best look? I read something saying that VGA was a better route to go, is that true?

    1) Go into your monitor's menu
    2) Select Input Source
    3) Select (go into) HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 depending on what you have connected. There you will find 2 choices with the first one selected by default (I dont remember what those options are since am not in front of the monitor)
    4) Select the second option and the display should fit into your screen perfectly
    Wow, this is what I was looking for!
    I had poured over the monitor settings but never saw this menu. You have restored my faith into the Apple community forums! Thanks!
    EDIT: Thank you for coming back on here and sharing after you found a solution.

  • Hi. I have a 2008 macbook pro 15.4 inch. Not abused but the hinge is stiff and the lid/ screen is starting to de-laminate at the bottom edge. Any ideas on how to make the hinge work a little more freely and how to re-seal the screen to the lid?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Broken screen of MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Where I can find the part?

    I have a broken screen for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and I cannot find a replacement. Where I can find the screen? I will install myself. Thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts, any you find will be third-party knockoffs.  Take your Retina to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs tell you what  needs to be done.  New Retina screens are not cheap, they normally replace the entire lid as a unit.

  • 1 inch grey bar on the right side of screen and duplicate menu at bottom

    i took a dying powerbook g4 dvi's lcd and put it on powerbook gigabit. the hard drive has 10.4 on it and comes from the dying powerbook dvi.
    when it starts into osx there is a 1 inch gray part on right side. at the bottom there is 3/4 inch area and the menu is duplicated. so if the mouse is on top at file it will also show up at bottom simultaneously. it appears that the display is not correctly identified. in preference it is detected as color lcd. i booted in safe mode and in 9.2 with similar results.
    the image is complete but it looks like 12 inch display on a 15 inch screen fitting in right upper corner of screen.
    short of reinstalling the OS, any other ideas or i am dealing with incompatibilities od displays between these 2 powerbooks.

    trying: You are posting about your Titanium Frankenbook in the Aluminum PB forums. You've attached a display that is incompatible with the Gigabit Ethernet model. Please return to the Tibook forums where any discussion of these two Powerbooks belongs.

  • HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

    HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
    I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
    I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
    How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
    I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
    I am open to questions or suggestions
    Thanks,
    Chet

    After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
    The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
    My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
    Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

    And very quickly
    Please advise

    The fix is to replace the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired free of charge, and you don't want to pay for the service, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

    when i move a clip into the top project screen, it cuts off about an inch of video. im trying to make a chin face video so i need that inch. any help?

    1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
    2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.
