40" LCD fitting in Armoire

I have an armoire that has an opening width of 39 1/2" . I found a couple Samsung and Sony models that are pretty close in specifications and the width are very close to that. Is there a recommended amount of space on the sides of the TV for ventilation? The models I was looking are Samsung LN40A550, LN40B530 SONY KDL-40W4100, KDL-40S5100. Any recommendations of which model is better. Thank you in advance for suggestions

There is, it depends on the TV. You can probably go to the manufacturer's site for each model to download a manual.
My uncle is violating those specs with his Sony, but he installed a temperature controlled fan in a vent above the enclosure for his TV.

Satellite A205 - Does another LCD fit?

I am the proud owner of a Satellite A205 PSAE3U-075023, but misfortune befell me and my screen got cracked pretty dramatically. While surfing eBay, I discovered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TOSHIBA-SATELLITE-P105-S6024-LAPTOP-LCD-SCREEN-17_W0QQitemZ270366462693QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?hash=item270366462693&_trksid=p3286.c0 .m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240 %3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
It fits my screen's dimensions and size, but is it compatible with my computer?
Thanks!

Im not sure but as far as I know the Satellite A205 has a 15 display.
So its not possible to buy a 17 display, this would not fit.
I think you must search for another display or you contact an ASP. They can order and exchange original Toshiba parts.

Have you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod? If so then you have a hardware problem. Maybe a loose/brken connector or maybe something else.

Qosmio G30-201 connected to LCD - how to fit the whole screen?

Hi
I have a Qosmio G30-201 laptop and also using a Toshiba WLT58 32 inch widescreen LCD with a HDMI Connector.
I am trying to get the film that I am watching to fill the whole screen and leave the borders off.
Is this possible?
Cheers
Steve

Hi
Did you check if there is an option in the DVD player software which you use to watch DVDs??? Please check it!
Additionally you could check the NVIDIA graphic card properties -> advanced settings.
There you will find tab called GeForce Go.
Thee you should open the table at the left side which provides useful options.
Go to the device settings -> device adjustment.

Does the lcd display from first gen imac g5 fit in imac isight g5?

hi

UberRanger,
I've had this issue too with my iMac G5, which I think I also bought around January of 2005. It started doing this around January or February of 2006, and I eventually discovered it was an issue with the logic board. Check your serial number (should be under the aluminum "foot") and see if it starts with any of these numbers:
W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx
QP435xxxxxx - QP522xxxxxx
CK435xxxxxx - CK522xxxxxx
YD435xxxxxx - YD522xxxxxx
If it does, you may have the same logic board problem I did. The iMac G5's with serial numbers that started like the ones above were known by Apple to have issues. They offered a "repair extension program" to fix this (even if it was outside of AppleCare time limits), but the program is now closed. I am not sure about the exact way to diagnose this issue, but I hope this at least helps determine IF this might be the issue.

Mini DVI to VGA issues w/ LCD HDTV

I have looked all over and I can't find a solution.
I recently purchased an LCD HDTV, Insignia Brand which is a Best Buy Brand, and I bought a DVI cable to hook up to my Powerbook G4 using the Mini DVI to VGA cable. When I hook it up to my tv it works, but the screen on my Powerbook looks magnified as does the LCD TV. When I launch Safari or any other program it doesn't fit on my screen or the LCD TV and I have to resize it.
After I look at displays in system prefernces it says my max resolution is 1024 x 768.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jeremy

Just guessing - the TV's "VGA" input is limited to 1024x768, which is possible although some "VGA" inputs will work higher. Do the instructions mention a limitation like this?
I think if you turn off mirroring on the Powerbook, at least the Powerbook screen will have normal resolution, and the TV 1024x768. The TV apparently scales up image to fill the screen unless using HDMI, where is leaves the extra 342 pixels blank on the sides (1366-1024). Perhaps the TV has a mode for adjusting how the TV handles lesser resolutions (stretch, dot-by-dot, etc)

Connecting my MacBook to an LCD projector

I'm an ESL teacher, and my kids made simple movies of themselves telling stories, using my secondhand MacBook and Photo Booth. When I tried to connect to my LCD projector, using the dongle that came with my G3, it wouldn't fit! Our librarian said I need a different one (grrr) for the Macbook, but when I went online to search, it appears that I need a different device altogether - some kind of Mini DP Display port.
Does someone know what I really need? Thanks!
Helen

Does someone know what I really need?
In the short term what you need is to post this in the right forum. You posted this in the Panther and earlier OS forum but your computer information says you're using Leopard, but that doesn't matter because this is really a hardware problem and would best be off in the forum for your computer. I'll ask it be moved there.

G3 B & W Graphics cards - can I fit ADC/DVI?

Ey up all,
Have just been given a trusted but old G3 350 B&W by my boss (for free!!) so I thought it would make a nice machine to use as a basic Photoshop/scanning machine for the missus to do her artwork on.
It's got 1gb of RAM and a newish 60GB Seagate 7200rpm HD so has all the bits I need. However, the graphics card is the original ATI 16mb with a VGA connector. Can I actually fit a newer card from a vendor like ATI that carries ADC or DVI, so I can use something like the classic 17" Apple LCD Studio Display (M7649)? There are loads of these displays floating about on ebay for a good price. If I can do this, it means I don't have to go for one of the matching blueberry CRT displays that take up a bit too much room on a desk.
I know I could go for a third-party TFT from the likes of Dell or ACER but being a typical machead, I like to keep it Apple all the way!!
Any suggestions are more than welcome and if you can put me on the right track price-wise, that'll be great.
Pat

Unless you really want an ADC-based Apple LCD Display, I'd go for an LCD display that uses a VGA or DVI port. There are plenty of them available today, and new ones are not extremely expensive. The ADC connection provides the video signal and power to the display. Using an adapter to connect the Apple display's ADC connector to a DVI port doesn't provide the necessary power for the display. The B&W G3 has a dedicated 66 MHz PCI slot for a graphics card, but doesn't have a power supply with a lot of output (by today's standards). If you were to install a newer Mac-compatible Radeon with a DVI port to use an ADC display, you'd need Apple's adapter, to power the display. If you want to use a widescreen display, be sure that the display card supports its optimal resolution at the 16:9 aspect ratio. The original Radeon Mac Edition and Radeon 7000 Mac Edition featured VGA and DVI ports, as well as 32 MBs of DDR memory. These cards can be purchased secondhand for little now, although the original Radeon Mac Edition is more scarce. There are newer Radeon cards for Macs, like the 9200, but PCI versions are not as abundant as their AGP counterparts.

Mac Mini and thunderbolt/vga to LCD TV

Hi All,
Here is an interesting one......
I have just taken delivery of 5 new Mac Minis which have the thunderbolt port on them. The Mac Minis each connect using displayport tb/vga adapter to a switch then on to 5 LCD TVs.
The HDMI/DVI is not used.
In this config, if I start a Mac Mini the display will not route through the Thunderbolt/vga adapter to any of the TVs (even though I have selected them on the switch). The display seems to want to go through the default HDMI port.
If I connect a standard PC monitor to the tb/vga adapter and reboot, the screen shows correctly on the monitor. If I then change cables without a reboot, the LCD TVs show correctly!
I can add the PC monitor as a second monitor using HDMI/DVI and ensure that the outputs are mirrored AND that the VGA display is the primary. However, on reboot it's as if the details are all forgotten!
Searching around it seems that there are issues with Mac Minis and VGA connections to LCD TVs. That said, I wanted to put my environment out there and see if anyone had an ideas.
Interestingly enough, with older Mac Minis (without the tb/vga) it works perfectly well, indicating a problem with the new Mac Minis.
Thanks for ANY ideas!!!!

Hey Spost!
You have explained exactly what happened to me last night. I was afraid it was part of the 10.8.3 update or the latest ATV software update that hit this week. I tried from my macbook pro and the airplay from 10.8.3 and the atv software worked fine.
Previously my mac mini was connected to a monitor in my basement but last night i made it "headless" and moved it to my "server closet" airplaying prior to the move worked great ... then last night 4:3 Green Screen.
My guess is the computer needs to be connected to a external display in order for airplay resolution to figure itself out. Via Logmein i could see that the Mirror mode wanted to use the resolution that fit the mac and not what was best for the Apple TV ... Even forcing the change made the setting go right back to this mac.
Looks to be a bug in a plist file that apple would need to fix as many people run headless mac mini's and now wish to AirPlay to their Apple TV's without the need for a external cable run.

Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

Imac g5 to lcd tv

I have a imac G5 17" flat panel and a samsung lcd 26" tv with 1xhdmi, 1xscart, 1x s-video and rca audio connections, what i dont understand is how to connect the two. Iv'e heard that s-video sacrifies on quality but is the chaepest option. Please help.

Scart :
is likely for Satelite tv boxes + High end video machines but is old tech and can not connect to your Imac without you spending some money buying a device to connect it to and then to your Samsung.
HDMI:
is only recently released and if you do not have the latest ATI graphics card then likely not worth the use.
S-video / RCA :
S-video is better than RCA but this mostly depends on your other devices that connects to your Samsung.
S-video is the improved RCA and depending on your cables / quality of your cables it will come close to HDMI.
I just use the S-video cable that comes with my Pbook.
You should likely have in the box that shipped with your Imac have a "something to rca" or "something to S-video" cable that fits in the small graphics out connecter on your Imac or you can get one for $20-30 online.
PS: get some Monster Cables or 99%+ silver/gold/oxygen free or better cables if you are serious about sound + video quality but you have to have very good eye's and extremely good ears to make it worth your while.
Hope this helps.

LCD TV for external monitor?

I have a 20" iMac with FCP 6, and I want to get a LCD TV to use as a second monitor. Since I've never done it before -- i.e. hooking up a second monitor to an iMac, or configured FCP to use one -- I was wondering if anyone has ever done that, and if it would be worth it. I'm considering getting a 32" 720P LG, Sony, or Samsung. It's a lot of money and it'd be good to hear some firsthand experience before I drop a grand on a TV.
A side question would be, the 26, 32, and 37" TVs all have a resolution of 1366x768. At what size does the TV have to blow up the image to fit the screen (which would lower the quality of the image)?
This might not be a good question for a FCP forum, and if so just ignore me. But any thoughts would be helpful.
jesse.

While I agree that you don't want to rely solely on a consumer LCD TV for any critical evaluation in terms of color/contrast, etc, I do like to see what my output will look like on a typical client owned TV. So here's my setup:
FCP output via Firewire to Sony DSR20 VTR. Analog (S-VHS) out from DSR-20 to an S-VHS distribution amp. S-VHS loop through from the distribution amp goes to a 13" professional color NTSC monitor. First distribution amp output (S-VHS) goes to a Samsung consumer 32" LCD TV. The composite video out of the DSR-20 goes to a 9" professional NTSC monitor which I keep in color-off mode for brightness/contrast evaluation.
The remaining distribution amp outputs go to an old VHS dub rack that I've been meaning to disassemble (someday when I have time), and to a couple of stand-alone DVD recorders.
While editing I have all three monitors on and can make the appropriate determinations.
But equally important and often overlooked is how you monitor audio. For that I'd recommend a decent pair of studio reference or near-field monitors connected to the analog audio outputs of your DV device.

Trying to get High Def Picture/Video to my 40" LCD. Help

Hey all
I have recently brough a MacBook Pro 2.33,
I have downloaded some videos & TV eps which are in High Def (720). On the MacBook they look brilliant, I wanted to hook the Macbook up to my Samsung 40" LCD and then hopefully be able to watch my High Def videos on the big screen in crystal clear quality, So I hooked up the macbook to my TV via a DVI - HDMI Cable and got the display on the LCD, which looks ok, Thought it would be perfect as it was just using it like a Monitor. I played with the resolutions to get the best fitting picture as there doesnt seem to be the Native Res for my LCD, I always end up loosing a tiny bit of the screen at the top & the bottom, but not too fussed about that, So i was playing my High Def Videos but they are definatly not in the quality that they look like on my Macbook, Very bitmappy etc..
Wonder if you lot can offer an advise as to how I can use the Macbook to get true High Def picture to my LCD
Thanks in advance
Cube Design
PS. Obviously all this will give me Video out, but hows the best way to get sound out? just a headphone to phono lead into my amp?

Large screen displays don't necessarily have a 1:1 pixel mapping. Ideally you should find out what your display's native resolution is, and pick something close to that. 720 is 1280x720, 1080 is 1920x1080. Your TV may only accept those resolutions... it's a TV and not a monitor.
My Pioneer (connected to my mac mini) is receiving 1280x720 and the menu bar barely shows on the screen due to overscan but movies look great.
You can turn on underscan (picture is shrunk to avoid overscan) on a tab on the Displays preference pane, provided your Mac detected that it was a TV.

What needed for MBP 13" to LCD TV?

OK, I'm a bit confused as to what to get to view video (and audio of course) from my 13" MBP to my Sony Bravia LCD TV. I could use an HDMI port on my Sony or perhaps the 15 pin VGA port too.
Is there just one cable that is MiniDisplay out to HDMI in? I've tried finding something like this but it appears I need to connect 2 cables to accomplish this?
Any suggestions most helpful. Thanks.

This comes recommended by another user (eww) and fits your bill:

Then use a regular HDMI cable into the TV

MBP 17" 2.16 + Toshiba HD LCD TV

Hey there,
I have a MBP 17" 2.16 and have just got a Toshiba 42X3030DB HD LCD for my livingroom. Thought that I would hook the two up so I could see how everything works for HD playback, so I went out and got a 1080P rated DVI-D to HDMI 1.3 cable and plugged in. My MBP saw that it was hooked up to the Toshiba and was in 1920x1080 with no problems. It gave me two options though, 1920x1080/60hz and the same at 50hz.
My question is this, I remember seeing on a site a while back an OSX machine (Mini I think) hooked up to a HD display. There was a screen cap of the system display setting tab and from there the options XXXXx480p/720p/1080p were clearly shown. I did not get the options presented to me in this fashion, just stright 1920x1080/XXhz. Was my MBP out-putting as true HD or was it just populating the sceen as it saw fit to do so, am indeed am I missing something?
I cannot find this reference site again for love nor money so any help on this subject would be very very cool
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way...

The Macbook Pro is smart enough to work out the native resolution of your Toshiba that's why its not asking you what resolution to use. It is asking you what refresh rate to use because in NTSC countries the fresh rate is 60Hz and in PAL countries its 50Hz, if your in the states select 60Hz.
You can call up the display resolution by going to System Preferences / Display
