24" LED Display has a magnet on the outside?????

Hello,
I was going to hang my necklace on the side of my monitor when it snapped to the side. I then realized that the entire outer rim of my monitor is magnetic. Is this normal? Also, if I attach anything to it that is non magnetic (e.g. a necklace), will it hurt the monitor in any way?
Thank You,
Dak Washbrook

Re: Dust? Behind new glass 24 led lcd, on top of lcd
Posted: 4-Mar-2009 2:38 PM in response to: douglas711
I took my display to the Apple Store and the Genius informed me that dust trapped under the glass has actually been a somewhat common problem with the Aluminum iMacs as well. He brought out two suction cups, took the glass off (those magnets are cool!), then ran a little roller on an adhesive pad / over the glass and that grabbed all the dust. Only took about 5 minutes or so and got rid of it all! I was very pleased."

24 inch LED display has strong odor

Hello,
I got the display for about 10 days now and every time the display is on for a short period of time (less than 7 mins), the display has a strange odor coming from the left side (if you were facing the display) speaker grill (where the hot air comes out).
The odor smells like electrical burn, basically it smells like very very mild burned plastic or electrical smells to it. At first I thought it is being new and it will go away but it is really not. This is a very strong smell.
I also made sure there is no plastic covering the exhaust grill and everything. Has anyone notice this problem? I am in contact with Apple with the problem already.
The early Mac Pro had the same smelly problem that posted in this forum many months ago.
Has anyone notice this problem?

there was definitely some sort of odor with mine as well. It wasn't offensive, but noticeable, but it went away after a few days. Maybe you just have a more keen sense of smell which is why you can still smell it.

LED display has blue cast compared to 23" LCD display

Just purchased the 27" LED Cinema display. It is side by side with my 23" LCD display. The colors are dramatically different. Is there some way to calibrate the new 27" monitor so that it has the same appearance as the 23" LCD or is the technology so different that they will never really look similar? I have a Mac Pro 2 X 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
thanks
russ

Yes, they do frequently have blue tints which cannot be calibrated out. I had to return two of them because of the problem and eventually just got my money refunded. I was told that Apple Engineering had no fix other than to suggest using a professional calibrator system which would almost certainly have done no good. I'd suggest you return the Thunderbolt display for refund and buy a different brand or wait until Apple releases a new generation of displays, whenever that happens.
Regards.

Macbook air has some substance on the outside that doesn't want to come off!

I got my macbook air on September of 2014. Now out of nowhere there is some weird stain on the edge of it. I thought it was candy so I tried to wipe it off with water. I tried it and it's sour. But every time I wipe it off it comes back when it dries up. What's Happening!?!?!?

Hi naroke!
When there are Finder related issues, often times the best (and easiest) fix is to re-install the operating system from the OS X 10.5 discs. You can try a few things before going to that point, though, so try these and it might fix the issue.
1. Reset PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238)
2. Disk Utility / Repair Disk (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 / http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html)
The next option, might make sense to do an archive & install of the operating system.

Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed

A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
Any help very gratefully received!
Cheers.

Hi
The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
[Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!!

24" LED display just DIED!!!!

My 24" LED display has been working without issue connected to my Mac Mini server, but tonight just started flickering (mostly black with an occasional split second glimpse at a blue screen then straight to black again).
I shut the Mac Mini down (held power button in was the only route). Reset SMC, PRAM etc etc, restarted but no image at all on the 24" Display.
I connected up a Samsung Full HD monitor I have kicking around through the Mini DVI to DVI adapter and no flickering.
I connected the 24" up to my 27" iMac MDP and. . . nothing. 24" is completely dead.
Anybody else experienced this or similar. Anyone experienced this and found a fix?
Apple Store tomorrow that's for sure!

Update:
I contacted my local Apple Store and booked a Genius Appointment (saw them on Tuesday- just passed- @ 3).
Genius was a great guy. Diagnosed the issue and ordered a new replacement unit, which should be here today or tomorrow.

Photobooth and new 24 inch LED Display

I have just received my new display today and it is breathtaking.
I am using it with a new macbook pro. Sound has connected ok. ichat defaults once set to the display isight. BUT, photobooth will just not go to the display isight.
Any ideas guys?

Not sure, but it only seems to work (photo booth) with the LED Display iSight when you have the MBP lid closed. If the lid is open, it only uses the MBP's iSight.

No external video playback on 24' LED Display

Hi,
I'm having a problem using my 24' LED mini display port Cinema Display as my external video monitor with my macbook. I have trashed prefs, switched from all to single frames and back. Refreshed connections. Started new projects. etc.... All I get is the frame that I pause on from the viewer on the display but no actual playback except scrubbing. I'm using Final Cut (6) Studio 2. I have started from scratch many times and no success. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry but I'm not trying to bump this but I can't find the solution anywhere. Motion and Livetype uses the second display in sync with no problems. FCP6 which once worked fine under this setup now only allows either the viewer to play or the monitor to play playback. They will not play together as they once did. Is anyone else with this setup having the same issue?
Macbook Pro (late 2008)
Final Cut Studio 2
24' LED Display (as external video monitor)
When single frame is selected viewer plays back only, all frames LED display playback only. I'm almost certain this is due to an update because this worked just yesterday and nothing has changed except the OS update. Like I said motion and the other studio programs use the LED display for synced playback from the viewer just fine. FCP is the only problem. Its not the end of the world and I can switch back and forth or break out my AJA IO but I liked the way it worked. Anyone?

IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

24 LED Display + New MacBookPro Clamshell Issues

I've recently purchased a new MacBookPro 15" and a 24" LED Display. I'm using the older style bluetooth keyboard (white) and mighty mouse on bluetooth.
When I close the lid on the MacBookPro (after the display appears on the LED display), it goes to sleep. No matter what keyboard keys I press, or click the mouse - it won't come out of sleep until I lift the lid.
I've made sure that the box 'allow bluetooth devices to wake system' is ticked. Any ideas anyone?

If you have your display icon on your menu bar go to that and if you do not have it showing there go to system preferences. Either will do. Simply click on detect displays. presto!

Desktop display has a border

I have noticed on my 21.5" Imac display that i have a 3-4mm black border along the top and left hand side of the desktop display. It looks like the display has dropped diagonally towards the bottom right hand corner.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Mark

Hi Mark,
I have the same model as you.
As Rudegar says, on the 2011 iMac although the glass goes right to the edge (except along the bottom where there is an aluminium strip with the Apple logo in the centre), the actual LCD screen does not extend to the edges. There is a black border (I've just measured it and it is 2.7cm wide) all round the screen area which the image does not extend into. If this is the width of your border and it is equal all round the screen image area, then that is normal.
If, on the other hand, it is markedly wider on one or two sides, then you may need to experiment with your screen resolution. If this doesn't help then you may have a screen problem for a repairer to take a look at

Using the 27" Thunderbolt and Apple 24" Cinema LED displays

I hope everything is having a good weekend. I have been trying to find an answer and no avail I am not able to find any solid answer.
Setup:
2011 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro8,2 model)
27" Apple Thunderbolt Display
Additional Equipment:
Apple 30" Cinema HD Display
Apple 24" LED Cinema Display
Ideally I would like to have all three monitors connected this macbook pro, but I know it may be hard. At the minimum though I would setting for the 27" and 24" to be the two monitors. Some time ago, I saw a web posting and a podcast talk about some entity achieving this feat, but it require the Pegasus RAID system. I have noticed that I cannot directly connect the 24" to the 27" as the result is the 24" has a black screen and the MacBook Pro does not recognize the 24".
Now I have seen products which offer the monitors to be connected using some third party peripherels:
Newer Technology USB to DVI/HTML/VGA display adapter (which uses display link)
Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt +USB to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
Unfortunately the results would mean that my Thunderbolt will not be useful after I connect the 24" since it will not allow any more thunderbolt connections. That is acceptable, but I will like to hear from anyone who is willing to share their experience. I cannot find the link to a solution which allow the 24" to be connected to the MacBook Pro thru USB device (siimlar to the display link device).

It appears that a Thunderbolt accessory: "seagate goflex thunderbolt adapter" solves the problem. Having the seagate device between the two monitors allows the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display to start working. The solution may not be right for everyone as the adapter is about $179.99 on Amazon.

I have a 2013 mac pro and the volume keys aren't changing the volume of my LED display. The icon shows up as going up or down but the volume seems to not adjust.

I've had this computer since october of 2013 or so and I have just recently run into this problem. I use the volume keys on the keyboard and I hear the tick sounds and it shows that its going up and down but the volume doesn't actually change. I've looked in the "sound" settings and everythings seems to be correct... I can't adjust the sound in their either though. I pay too much to be having an issue like this.

Possible? Yes. Likely? I'm not sure.
In my house, I would suspect that either one of our pets chewed on a cable or dislodged a connector, or somebody bumped a connection loose, but then I would expect either no volume at all or hum from a grounding problem. Clear, non-zero constant volume is harder to explain.
You say adjusting the output volume directly in the Sound settings or on the menu bar also has no effect on the audible output?
You might want to go ahead and answer the question about connections. Somebody else might come along who recognizes a possible problem with the particular combination you are using. I don't have exactly your model of Mac Pro or display. (Is yours the Apple LED Cinema Display? Which size?)

How well does the new Apple 24" LED Display work?

Hey guys
Im thinking of purchasing a 24" LED Display from Apple, just because I need a bigger screen to work on, as I edit photos, and film and I've been looking into one for awhile. Buck for buck, is this monitor a good companion to the unibody MacBook pros with the mini display port? Of course, its looks all glitz and glamour on the mac site but has anyone worked with these things hands on? What are the pros and cons?

The display is very easy to use; considering you'll probable be plugging in the display multiple times per day this is really important.
The built in display is LED lit (cool light) sense the 24" is also LED lit (cool light), there is a greater consistency in color between the two displays.
Traditional LCD displays have a warmer glow due to using a fluorescent tube. Trying to go between LED and and fluorescent tube displays could drive you insane. especially if your using both displays at the same time for photography, where color can be very important.

Question re: 1920x1200 RGB LED Display and the Macbook Pros LED display.

My question to the Apple guys here is. What type of LED technology is used in the MacBook Pro's LED display?
I just did a side by side with my buddies new 15" MBP and my new DELL Studio 1737 which has a 1920x1200 which has RGB LED display. I had it second day air FEdEx shipped because I was dying to see this new tech.
And did it blow us away, supposedly since its this new RGB LED it displays something around 98% or 110% of the NTSC color gamut very accurate for graphics and photo work.
My buddy almost dropped when we saw the color accuracy and differences with the MBP. And why hasn't Apple adopted this superior technology?

What do you mean they don't have LED its right on the main page.
Read it carefully, it says "Ultrathin 15-inch LED-backlit display." The "LED-backlit display" part means that the backlighting is LED (as opposed to fluorescent), not the display panel itself (which is LCD).
...Dell has the RGB LED backlighting....
The Dell display you referred to is an RGB LED display, it doesn't have (or need) backlighting. It uses red, green and blue light emitting diodes to produce images, as opposed to a liquid crystal display, which uses color filtered backlighting to produce images.
its confusing why Apple has not adopted this new tech to its high end $3,000 MBP 17 models.
Yet. The 17" MBPs are reportedly due for a significant hardware revision next month. In any case, RGB LED displays have their own performance issues when compared to LCD displays, so don't get too excited, and they may not be thin enough to fit Apple's ultrathin design philosophy.
I have no idea what RGB LED was it just seemed better, and boy did it pay off.
I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with Windows Vista.
