About lcd

My MACBOOK PRO 990 buy on August 6, 2009, few days ago, found that the top of the LCD glass and LCD protection between a very small dust, can be identified as residual in the production process, the request to solve this problem!

If you have an Apple store near by take it into them, go on-line first and look at booking an appointment before hand, might save some time.
Otherwise ring Apple Care and talk to someone there, which may mean sending you unit back.

Interesting technical page about LCD screen any hints about new 15" screen?

I came across this interesting page from another website discussion:
http://www.techmind.org/lcd/index.html#inversion
From what I see I would have thought that the displayed Row Inversion, but my screen flickers on "Line-paired RGB sub-pixel dot-inversion" test:
http://www.techmind.org/lcd/dotinvrgb2l.html
Try this one or the offset based on your window position and see if you see strong flicker. I also found this interesting paragraph:
"The inversion pattern for any given screen will inevitably flicker to some extent and is not a fault. If it really flickers a great deal then it may indicate that the common-electrode voltage has not been set up properly. In that case you might also perceive a "dot crawl" effect on plain colours of medium brightness. A grossly mis-set common-voltage will also make your screen more susceptible to temporary 'image sticking' problems.
Common-electrode voltage can sometimes be adjusted by means of an internal preset, or on a manufacturers' configuration screen (adjust for minimum flicker on the inversion-pattern) ...but doing so would almost certainly invalidate your warrantee. Typically, with the optimum setting, the centre of the screen will have minimum flicker on the inversion pattern, while the flicker will increase somewhat towards the left and right edges. If there's a distinct minimum anywhere on the screen, then the setting is pretty close. Note also that the optimum setting is likely to drift over the life of your screen, and may be slightly affected by temperature and the greylevel of the test pattern. "
Does this give anyone a clue whether this may be a software or hardware issue? As I've said before I am fine with my 15" powerbook display, but am very curious from a technical standpoint.

My new powerbook 15" is out of reach now , because it is in its original box at my working place ready to be picked up by TNT for an AppleStore return.
I am currently sitting in front of my other -personal- PB15" 1280X854 (received in August : obviously line-less). The second link gives me a non flickering screen, but the screen flickers when I move the window.
As I understand, the test tells you only how the Display handles the inversion scheme. The way it handles it is specific from the screen. This does not mean - in my understanding- that there is a problem with the screen itself.

Newb question about LCD resolution..

This may seem like an odd question but I just bought a
widescreen LCD and
wanted to know what the proper ratio I should be working in
is.
1920 x 1200 (1.6)
or
1920 x 1440? (1.3)
Thanks...

> This may seem like an odd question but I just bought a

It's typically recommended that you set the resolution of the
LCD to
whatever its native resolution actually is.

Question about LCD screen on Satellite A500-1F4

Hi everyone.
I am planning to purchase new laptop and I've seen the specs of Satellite A500-1 F4 and Satellite L505-13W. I like the 16" screen in A500 but there is one thing not clear, what do they mean about truebright display? Compared to L505, it has HD LED display.
Also, what is much better video card? NVIDIA GE force or the ATI Radeon? Both the A500 and L505 have the same 1GB video card capacity, the difference in the brand.
Thank you.

You see, it's like with Cpu from Intel and Amd. Some users say that Intel is better, when others are Amd.

About monitors and LCD displays

I want give you some directrices about the display sub system.
Like you all know there are CRT monitors and LCD displays.
CRT
CRT monitors are based upon electron beams hitting Electroluminescent phosphorus. In these monitors the most important parameters are:
1) Dot pitch
2) Refresh rate
Dot pitch is the size of a single phosphorus point, smaller is better. Typical values range between 0.24 and 0.25. Beware with monitors having a not constant dot pitch, there are monitors with dot pitch of 0.24 at center of screen and 0.25 at the borders. I recommend monitors with constant dot pitch size across all screen.
Refresh rate is the number of times a single electron beam travels across the screen drawing a single frame (from left to right and top to bottom) each second. It is measured in Herz (Hz). Bigger is better. Typical values range between 60 Hz and 120 Hz and the value depends upon resolution, more resolution goes to less possible refresh rate. If you are going to play games with shutter glasses, make sure your monitor is capable of 120 Hz minimun at the playing resolution. In 3D Stereo, each full 3D frame must be drawn 60 times/second (60 Hz) but a 3D frame is a single right eye frame and a single left eye frame, 60 Hz for left frame and 60 Hz for right frame are the full 120 Hz. If you CRT is not capable of these 120 Hz your eyes will suffer fatigue / strain and you would have a great headache after prolonged time periods.
LCD
A LCD display do not uses a electron beam to excite phosphorus and generate colored points, instead this it uses a grille and a special lamp. Instead drawing a frame line at line from top to bottom and left to right, it renders the frame in a step only and continuously, these displays are flat for this, there is no necesity for high voltage and magnetic fileds to move the electron beam. In these displays these are the more important parameters:
1) Dot pitch
2) Response time
3) Number of colors (color space)
Dot pitch is the same as with CRTs
Reponse time is the time it gets going from pure white to pure black. Less is better. It is measured in miliseconds. Good typical values range about 16 ms. If you are going to use the LCD to play games, response time is the more important parameter at all.
Number of colors are the simultaneus colors in screen. It have a inverse relationship with response time. It is measured in million of colors or bits. 24 bits of color depth are 16.7 million of colors. Typical values range agout 16 / 16.7 millions. Greater is better. LCDs with 16 ms response time have, usually, 16.5 millions of colors.
Somethimes, the manufacturer will provide you drivers (setup or inf files) for your operating system. I recomend install this drivers. Don't panic if there are no drivers for your display device, Windows, probably, will find the suitable driver for your brand and model.
If you have a CRT and you are stuck at 60~85 Hz you will need the right driver because Windows would not have found a suitable driver from its drivers base and it chose a standard monitor driver.
If you have a LCD and you are stuck at 60 Hz, all is fine, as i have told you yet, LCD displays paint the screen continuously, you will not appreciate any flicker at 60 Hz in these devices. You can check this if you have a digital camera, make a photo of a CRT with a shutter of <monitor refresh rate> * 1.5. You will see a partially drawn picture. If you take a photo of a LCD with the same shutter rules you will get a full picture. With LCD you will get full pictures always, independently of the shutter.
I hope al this info will be helpful to you.

I have found a very interesting link on the Anandtech Web site about LCDs, it is a old one but i think it will be useful.
The link is this

LCD TV v's Monitor

Hi All,
Firstly I really don't know much about LCD TV's, Monitors etc...
We need to buy a new tv for our bedroom and we are thinking a smaller (30'') LCD tv would be the way to go. Now I know they have DVI input so I can also use it as a display for my MBP.
Question - Are there any beneifts, or what are the important things to know about this setup? I use the MBP to edit in Aperture and Final Cut HD (can I edit in HD on the LCD?), will the LCD tv be ok for this?
The reason I ask is I can probably only buy either an Apple display (24') and a very small older TV or a newer LCD tv.
Your thoughts / suggestions woudl be much appreciated, the sales people in the stores are hopeless (especially when you mention you use a Mac).
Cheers.

I have tried the LG LCD 37 inch and it had huge issues with the Mac. The PC input is limited to 1028 x 768. When you hook up the DVI to HDMI cable and take it to the HDMI input you will see something along 1270 x 768. The feed comes across as an interlaced signal. When this setting is selected and you check off the overscan box you will get a full screen picture. That makes me wonder if the tv actually does 1366 x 768. I tried the Westinghouse 32w1 monitor/LCD TV and it actually does 1366 x 768. It has a built in DVI connector. I also have tried a Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500. The Sony is a reported 1080P LCD TV. It has 2 HDMI inputs and a PC monitor input. The strange thing is that the max input for the TV using the PC monitor input is 1400 x 1050. I tried a DVI to HDMI cable and I was able to get an interlaced signal out to the TV. Still suboptimal results. I looked at a JVC 40 inch LCD TV at 720P, however, the PC input on that set was limited to 1024 x 768. Overall, the best TV picture came from the Sony, however, I just cannot believe that they limited the PC input to 1400 x 1050. You have to wonder what the TV manufacturers are thinking. The problem is not a Mac problem. It is clearly the TV sets.
The Westinghouse seems to be the most consistent performer in regards to attaching a laptop. They take pretty much the full input from the Mac.

FrameMaker and LCD Monitors

Hello,
Just wanted to get your thoughts/opinion(s) as writers in using FrameMaker on LCD monitors. Specifically, I've used word processing and desktop publishing programs on CRT monitors for years. I've never had any problems whatsoever. Recently, my employer provided me with a 20 inch widescreen LCD monitor. I'm now having a difficult time with it because of the higher resolution (e.g., headaches and the like). As you all know, a lower resolution only distorts or stretches desk on LCD monitors (which is why I guess I've avoided these monitors for so long). Please note, I have bad eyesight and wanted to see if others may have ideas to address this issue. I've given the monitor two weeks and things haven't improved. I'm just concerned/frustrated because I know the world is going in the direction of LCD monitors.
For a solution, I've thought about a square like LCD monitor; maybe at 17 inches to address the problem. But I'm wondering if I'll still be at the mercy of the native resolution. Just to let you know, I've tried all the display scenarios to address the problem (i.e., appearance, settings, dpi) without success. Just miss the 800/600 resolution I had in the past due to my bad eyesight.
Any ideas or thoughts are most appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.
Paul

Paul...
Here are some ramblingthoughts on your issue. They expand on the good advice you've already received, and thus do not dispute what others have said.
Make certain your drivers for the graphics card are the latest and greatest. This is the first step you should take. You probably have already done that. If not, go do it. But check the next paragraph first.
If your graphics card has a DVI output, by all means use it. If it doesn't, opt for a different graphics card, preferably one with two DVI outputs, known as a dual-head graphics card. I address this again below.
Life is too short to drink cheap wine. It's also too short to spend a professional career working with inadequate computing resources, especially when you consider the cost of the capital outlay versus the salaries and the wasted time fooling around trying to make things right. If your employer has artificial limits on spending, go make a business case for better gear.
You already seem to understand the concept of the monitor's native resolution. High resolution monitors are best for image processing, when programs like Photoshop are used to edit photographic images. For text-based work, they're the wrong way to go, as you've discovered. Part of the problem is that many web pages and all operating systems seem to be stuck with a one-size-fits-all set of icons, menus, page sizes and the like. With Windows, you get two choices of text size, but those choices don't apply to all text instances and only in the operating system, not in the applications that run on top of the application. So driving a high resolution monitor at its native resolution results in tiny text, icons and the like. I get some email messages that I cannot read because the very popular marketing company that creates them uses what must be 4 point typefaces.
I have dual 20.5" Samgung monitors with 1600x1200 native resolution on two of my workstations. They're beautiful monitors, but I would trade even-up for the same monitor with 1280x960 native resolution. One thing that's nice about LCDs, by the way, is this. If you get ones that pivot clock- or counter-clockwise, and many do, you can easily run them in portrait mode by rotating them and changing the settings for the driver. My FrameMaker workstation has one monitor set to landscape orientation and the other to portrait mode. Try setting a 17" CRT on its sidegood luck!
LCD monitors will ONLY look their best when the image is displayed at their native resolution, or perhaps in some cases, at a submultiple of the native resolution. For example, a 1600x1200 monitor might look OK when the graphics card is set to 800x600. In my case, that makes the icons and windows appear too large, though. Something in-between is best for me. I doubt, however, that you have a 840x525 choice, but if you do, try it.
Sheila asks about your video cable. An LCD monitor *should* be driven by a graphics card with a DVI (digital) output. Otherwise, the signal must be converted to analog (VGA) and back to digital for display purposes. Since the image is inherently digital to begin with, converting to analog video and then back to digital has its obvious drawbacks. I'm not sure if a modern graphics card can properly identify the connected monitor though a VGA cableit's been so long since I used a CRT and a VGA card that I've forgotten.
A CRT monitor also has a "native resolution" based on the pitch of the phosphor triads and the shadow mask in the tube. Because that was an analog interfaced world, and CRTs are relatively "soft" compared to LCDs, the effects of non-native scan rates and resolution settings were not as troublesome or as obvious as they are for LCD screens. Once you get the settings right on your LCD display, though, you will NEVER consider going back to a CRT display.
It's probably too late to lobby for this, but if I were you, I would strive to get a "dual-head" graphics card, one with two DVI outputs, and put two identical monitors side-by-side. Once you've experienced a dual-monitor setup, you will never be happy with just one screen.
Setting the graphics card resolution for a 16:10 aspect ratio in any other than the native resolution of the monitor will result in "aliasing" artifacts, which may be what you mean by "distortion." The simplistic way to describe the aliasing effect is that some elements of a character inevitably fall in the "cracks" between pixels. When the image resolution setting matches the native resolution, the video data from the card "lines up" perfectly with the pixels, giving the most accurate representation. The other type of distortion that you may be referring to is due to a mismatch of the aspect ration associated with an image resolution setting versus the aspect ratio of the screen. In such situations, a "truly" round circle would appear elliptical on the screen. This is what Winifred is describing. You cannot expect acceptable results with any graphics card setting whose resolution aspect ratio is , relative to the display, mismatched. You must use a setting that corresponds to the 16:10 ratio.
Another way to understand the artifacts associated with aliasing is to imagine viewing a checkerboard through a piece of wire fencing with a square pattern laid on top of it. When the size of the squares in the fencing material are the same as the checkboard squares, you can make things line up and see all of the checkerboard. If the screen wire is a different size, then there's no way to place the wire over the checkerboard without covering some of the squares with wirethat is, unless the pattern in the fence is twice the size of the square, ot four times, and so on.

Power G3/LCD Display Upgrade?

I have a Blue and White Power G3 and would like to upgrade to a 22” LCD display.
Are there any limitations with OS 9.2.2 and the ATI Rage 128 card that I should be aware of when making a selection?
I don’t want to spend any more than I need to and so I don’t want the display to exceed the limitations of my computer?
What features could be left out?
For example, would it be better to get a display that just has only a VGA (analogue) input instead of a combination of VGA and DVI,(digital) inputs, and perhaps with less resolution, etc.?
Someone told me that it’s not a good idea to use a display that’s over nineteen inches wide.
Do you have any recommendations?

I just bought a AJ2216WBD Acer 22” monitor with a 1680 x 1050 resolution and I’m afraid to take it out of the box because of what I learned about lcd screens and native resolution. I read the following about lcd screens:
“The most noticeable disadvantage is their fixed or native resolution. An LCD screen can only display the number of pixels in its matrix and no more or less. It can display a lower resolution in one or two ways. Using only a fraction of the pixels on the display or through extrapolation. Extrapolation is a method whereby the monitor blends multiple pixels together to simulate a single smaller pixel. This can often lead to a blurry or fuzzy image particularly with text when running the screen below its native resolution.”
And unlike a CRT screen where the resolution can be scaled down.”
The highest resolution my 128 rage card offers is 1600 x 1200 at thousands of colors and 1280 x 1024 at millions of colors. And so I’m wondering if I’m better off with a view screen that has a lower native resolution, such as the Samsung Syncmaster 940T or 904bx 19” and the LG LI953TX 19” with a resolution of 1280 x 1024
Although, I’d actually prefer a 22” screen.
There is also the Viewsonic VA1926W with a resolution of 1440 X 900 but that would be pushing it because I would never be able to have native resolution with millions of colors.
What would be the most normal situation for an lcd screen with a Blue and White Power G3 450 MHz computer,, in terms of resolution and screen size?
Also, according to Apple, the highest 2D display mode is 1280 x 1024 at 75Hz with millions of colors, thousands of colors and 256 colors. While the maximum 3D resolution is 1280 x 1024 with millions of colors and 1600 x 1200 with thousands of colors.
How can the resolution be higher in 3D than in 2D mode for thousands of colors?
Do you just get more with 3D?
I would like to fully experience the capabilities of my rage card with the best lcd screen to bring it out.

Why do panel array positions change when I move to a computer with LCD screen?

I wrote a program in the lab and then moved it to the production area which
has a computer with an lcd monitor. The program has 3 arrays of clusters on
the front panel and each contain both controls and indicators. When I moved
it to the production computer the 3 array moved somewhat from their proper
positions. Also, each one moved a different distance. I wanted them to be
aligned so I ended up moving them out of alignment on the uncompiled copy so
that the production copy would be aligned correctly. Is there something
funny about lcd screens? Labview property node reports they are already
aligned and of equal height. Is there a way of forcing the arrays to align
no mat
ter what computer it is installed on?

I've seen this before. If the resolutions are different it scales certain fonts
differently causing your controls to move. You need to make sure your using a
common font type and size between them or change your resolution on your desktop
to match the lcd's.
You can check the font on both machines to match them. One might have Arial 13,
20, 28 and the other Ariel 14, 20, 26. If you pick 20 it will go back and forth
ok, properly scaled.

X121e, LCD

Hi there all,
this is my first post as for the first time I own a "ThinkPad". This is so cool device. I love color, keyboard,slim design etc. But as we all know nothing is perfect and no exception here - which is horrible TN display I got with in my laptop. Its just a disaster!!! I can't see any other people's posts about it, maybe I am different here.
I checked my system with HWINFO 64 and it gave me some information about LCD I have:
model: LEN40D1
Monitor Name B116XW03 V1
From this monitor my eyes are stinging from 30 minis of use. I can notice very well some vertical line across the whole screen. Colors and contrast are awful not to mention viewing angles. I also user 10 incher asus 1005p which has far more better LCD and its a netbook!
I would like to ask a question here: HOW this is possible that lenovo is installing such a crap TN RUBBISH in this laptop. its is such a nice device that i really like but unfortunately I am after creating RMA for return. Very disappointed with the product ((((
Can anyone share my opinion?
Thanks
L.

I don't think Lenovo will do it. Generally, they swap same for same.

LCD display for Hardware Monitor?

Hardware Monitor...
http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
...supports certain external, USB-based LCD displays for providing system status. Is anyone using one?
Can anyone recommend a nice, already-assembled unit to set on the desk here? Thanks.
blakespot

Sadly none of the above unit will work w/ Hardware Monitor.
I just received this email from the author after inquiring about the above displays compatibility w/ Hardware Monitor:
Unfortunately, these vendors are completely unknown in Europe and
they only offer drivers for Windows, so no support for these modules
is possible so far.
If not, is there a ready-made, external (already in a little
enclosure) unit that does?
No, I am currently not aware of any ready-made units. Unfortunately
the market for these devices seems to be so small that no worldwide
vendor has established an industry standard yet, or could provide
an open software layer for Mac OS X. When such a solution exists, we
will immediately support it in Hardware Monitor.
For more information about LCD unit support please see the chapter
"Controlling external alphanumeric displays" in the reference manual
of Hardware Monitor.

Traditional TFT LCD of the N900 and the new SLCD !

Can anyone here explain me is S-LCD the next generation of the TFT LCD does it offer a dramatic improvement in display ( I am not really looking out for a very technical explanation just need to know from a user perspective) is it great fun watching in SLCD compared to the traditional TFT LCD display that the N900 has. if yes, How much the difference between the TFT LCD of the N900 and SLCD would be ?

@CP...
such a nice post...needs to be said again without needing to re-finger it in! +1 m8..
cpitchford wrote:I meant it's not the right place to ask as there are other forums that seem to specialise in talking about LCD panels
So I really dont know what you mean when you say the resolution is the same between OLED and SLCD...It is not the same
Huh??
OLED and SLCD do not define resolution.. you're wrong for thinking that.. They are types of displays.. OLED is not fixed to 800x480, SLCD is not fixed to 960x640.. Its like saying diesel engines are 2liter where as petrol engines are 1.5....
OK.. The HTC Desire (and google Nexus one) originally shipped with OLED displays..
Due to shortages of OLED panels, HTC decided to change the display type to the more commonly available LCD.. Now HTC Desires are LCD..
However..
The resolution is exactly the same.. they are both still 800x480.. The type of screen does NOT dictate the resolution of the screen..
You could have a crud low resoltion 640x360 OLED screen on the Nokia N8, and a high res 800x480 LCD screen on the N900.. both are 3.5" screens!
As for the difference in visual quality of OLED and LCD:
OLED screens are tiny light bulbs.. each pixel produces its own light (actually multiple red, green blue lights per pixel)
LCD, however works using filters.. There is a white light behind the screen, and the LCD lets some of the light through coloured "holes".. That is the MAIN difference between LCD and OLED..
All OLED displays work like this and all LCD displays work like this..
So, because it is easier to make a filter of a certain colour, LCD screens can often produce more realistic colours..
OLED displays however, have the ability to go completely dark.. Look a black screen on a LCD display (like your phone) it still glows.. thats because the LCD cannot filter out ALL of the white back light.. it just filters out most..
OLEDs, however, when they are black they are OFF meaning they produce ZERO light!!
LCDs range from blight to dim.. whereas OLED range from even brighter to totally black..
This is called the contrast ratio..
It also might mean OLED displays seem "saturated" the colours are too vibrant..
Now, that's OLED v LCD
Going back to your question in your second post..
The Desire PS IPS LCD display (that's the S-LCD display if you want a brand name) is technically a lower definition because the pixels are larger when compared to the N900..
The colour reproduction (how accurate the colours are) and the contrast ratios however will be BETTER than the N900 because the Desire can display 16Million colours rather than 65thousand.. and the LCD technology is a generation newer than that used in the N900...
The N900 screen, although high resolution for its size, is fairly old tech..

Zen LCD + winter

I'll sum it up really fast. I got my Zen, works well, winter comes, LCD starts going blank along with backlight failures. Is this a problem with the unit itself or is it this thing my friend told me about LCD's screwing up in the cold.
Oh and I take PERFECT care of all my electronics.

Our winter (south Italy) is 0 degree outside and it can't give problems to mp3 players. In summer it can be more than 40 and I will not try to put my player under the sun where temperature can be even more high. Anyway, most electronics circuits are tested in very extreme conditions, usually from -20 to +80 and sometimes from -40 to 20, but it depends on application. Where do you li've to have such cold winter

New T530 with dead / unresponsive pixel in upper middle of screen

I have one dead or unresponsive pixel in the upper middle part of the screen. It is stuck in red color. It is very difficult to ignore this red dot and it is very annoying to use my machine with this red dot on the screen. What can I do?
I ordered my T530 on July 27th and received it on Aug 20th. I've used it for two days and used UDpixel or similar online tools in attempt to unstuck this red pixel. The pixel is still stuck in red. What can I do about this? Need help. I need to use my laptop for school.
Thanks.

HP leave us Stranded over SetRes HELP!!!

OK- right now I am really not friends with HP! Why?
because of a flaw in their script on my HP Media Centre m7480.uk-a which has left me stranded outside of my computer facing a dreaded destructive reinstall because all other methods of recovery (SUGGESTED BY HP) have resulted in a message which reads:
"Cannot Create file c:\hp\bin\SetRes.log"
This message arrives at the very last hurdle of recovery, using either partition or recovery discs...and what's more you are then locked out from SafeMode because a message arrives saying system is not fully installed please reinstall...so it's a stinking Catch 22 and it's impossible to get any sense or help from anyone at HP regarding it.
I use lots of HP equip in my life and always respected them as the top of the tree but now they have left me hanging from it!!
I'm in urgent need to resolve this and would be so grateful to anyone out there with a head and heart able to help me do it (and those others left similarly stranded)
Thank you so much

Thanks Hanspuppa for your input re this. whiole the suggested link can get a computer back up and running via the firstboot.bat route, it doesn't resolve the issue, because if once getting back in you try and do a reinstall to factory settings etc the same issue arises...
the Note about LCD flat panel monitors is a nuisance...who has a conventional CRT monitor still hanging about?
shall we all go out and try and buy one just on the 'off-chance' it may resolve an isuue??
Basically HP got something wrong and has not done anything to help those they left stranded...
surely they could rework the script and somehow allow us to download via updates or something??
But yours is a helpful suggestion- but anyone using it will have to accept they will lose data and need to find a way of recovering it though
best wishes
