Additional LCD display

Hi
may i know if i can turn off the Laptop display when i connect video output of the iBook to a external LCD display.
thanks very much..

With the iBook, no. They added this functionality to the MacBook computers, but the iBook screen needs to be on.

  • LCD display Particle Analysis

    Dear all,
    I want to detect whether all segments on the LCD display(shown in pic.1) are working that is why first I do particle analysis of the given picture and then using pattern matching I try to detect whether all the segments are working.
    My question is whether I can improve more the status of my partical analysis result(shown in pic.2) because I think this is still possible and will give me more accurate results for applying the pattern matching later on.
    Thank you in advance for the suggestions.
    My VI is also attached. 
    Cheers,

  • Radeon 7000 with a 22" Widescreen LCD Display?

    My Dad's 17" CRT monitor on his B&W G3 tower gave up its life, and I'm looking to replace it with a widescreen 22" LCD display (1680*1050 native resolution). The tower's stock ATI Rage 128 (16MB) card is most likely not able to handle this resolution (in addition, it lacks a DVI port, providing only analog output which I find looks rather crummy on an LCD display), so I'd also like to upgrade to a Radeon 7000 with a DVI port. There are a number of these cards floating around on eBay in 32MB and 64MB varieties. I also spotted the Radeon 9200 (PCI variety), which is more costly and probably beyond the needs of my Dad's web-browsing, mail, and iPhoto needs.
    Has anyone successfully run a 22" widescreen display at native resolution via a DVI port, using a Radeon 7000? If so, does the 32MB variety suffice, or would I have to look at a 64MB variety? The Radeon 7000 specs page <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7000/radeon7000me/specs.html> does not list 1680*1050 resolution (nor any widescreen resolution for that matter), but neither does the specs page for the much more modern Radeon 9200 <http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html>, so I figure that the specs pages don't tell the whole story. Thanks for any insights!

    Yesterday I picked up a Samsung 216BW 21.6" display with 1680*1050 resolution. Although I'm still awaiting arrival of the Radeon 9200 (64MB) card, I thought I'd try to hook up the monitor to the stock Rage 128 (16MB) card to see what happens. I powered up the B&W G3, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Apple logo appear followed by the startup screen. I logged into my account, and found that the Rage 128 was actually displaying in widescreen mode, albeit at some non-native resolution. Naturally, the next step was to pull down the displays menu and check the other resolution options. The menu read as follows:
    SyncMaster
    1280 x 1024, 60 Hz, Millions
    1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
    1680 x 1050, 60 Hz, Millions
    I chose the last item (can't say why this item was listed twice), held my breath, and an instant later was blown away to find the old Rage driving the display at native resolution with a very decent looking image (even though this is over the analogue RGB cable). So I can confirm that the Rage 128 does support a 21.6" widescreen display at native resolution (and I would presume the same applies for 20" and 22" widescreen displays, since they all share the same resolution). I'll also mention that the B&W G3 tower is running Mac OS X 10.4.9.
    In any case, I still don't regret having ordered the Radeon, as the Rage 128 does not properly support fullscreen slideshow mode and transitions in iPhoto 5, and my Dad spends a lot of his time dabbling with iPhoto slideshows.

  • 6300 LCD display faulty

    I had my 6300 in my pocket while dancing and found it dead at the end of the night. I've taken it to Carphonewarehouse where I bought it an d was told the LCD was "cracked" whatever that means.
    I've got 2 questions that I'd appreciate feedback on.
    1. Has this happened to anyone else. I'm annoyed, since as far as I can see I've never had a phone die on me just because it was in my jeans pocket. This seems more like flimsy design.
    2. As my phone is kaiboshed, I want to get all the contents off it as I have another billpay 6300. Unfortunately, I work from Macs on OS 10.2 so neither Nokia PC Suite nor Sync are any use to me. I tried to hack into it using SuperBluetooth, but it would not let me access messages folders, applications or gallery. I paired devices successfully, but there is no way I can authorise/authenticate as 'trusted' devices.
    I wish I had religiously saved all my content on the memory card, but some stuff just can't be saved there. There is also the problem that those apps I did have on the memory card now appear as invalid apps and wont work.
    Thanks a million

  • Creative MP3 Player (Microphoto) Blank LCD Display Scr

    [size="">Hi, The LCD Display Screen on the Creative MP3 Player is blank. The blue background light will come on but nothing on the screen. I saw that it was suggested to update the firmware, however, I have no idea how to do that. If someone can explain to me how to do that I will try it.

  • Problem with LCD display on 17" iMac G4

    The LCD display on my iMac went wacky on me yesterday. It's as though one of the three primary colors no longer works. The screen has a green tinge to it, and anything that's supposed to be black shows up as green. I've reset everything, run the Hardware Tools diagnostics (no problems found), and changed resloutions, monitor depth, and brightness levels many times. No luck. The screen is readable although very ugly.
    Obviously I can take it to an Apple Store, but does anyone have any idea what it might be? I've searched the net and the forums and can't find anything close, but I know I can't be the only one to experience this problem. I called a mac repair shop a few minutes ago, and they said that the logic board would need to be replaced. I just can't believe that because nothing else is a problem.
    Please help. Thanks.
    17" iMac G4 1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I "fixed" the problem a few days ago. Digging around here in the forums, I found another thread that gave explicit instructions on how to open the iMac and re-seat the connections. Here is the link (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196785&start=30&tstart=30). It's a post from Androcles made on 3/26/06.
    Just as he indicates, when I did this I found nothing to be loose at all, however upon putting it all back together, on the 2nd re-boot all was back to normal and still is. It's amazing how clear and crisp the screen is after suffering through the green hue for a few weeks...
    Good luck, and feel free to ask me for help if necessary.

  • Mega865 - No LCD Display

    I' have the problem describe in the "Important Threads - Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865".
    When I receive my Mega865, i tried it without processor and it seams works well. So I assemble it to work in PC mode and all is OK too.
    Because I had the sound problem (no device found), I read the "Important Threads" and so I realise that my LCD display was not working too (i only use PC mode at this time).
    I don't know if the two problems are in connection.
    The sound problem disapear but I have still no Front Lcd Display.
    I flashed the bios with the new version (1.3) and verified all the connectors that i could see.
    What can I do more ? Is my MoBO dead ?
    Thanks for your answer.
    Vincent

    i think it might have something to do with the proximity sensor and that sensor disables the phone functions when in call mode so that you do not accidentally press any other buttons.i think that it disables the touch screen when you put it close to your face.  once you hand up the phone, it returns to normal operations right?

  • 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

  • Mac Mini LCD Display - finally got it working but....

    Hello,
    I've posted on here many times about using the mac mini with my LCD display. The display runs at 60hz and a 640 x 480 resolution. For about four weeks, the mac mini would not connect to my screen. I installed display config x and had something of a result. By loading the mac mini up with my old pc monitor plugged in and then switching the vga plug once the mini was loaded, I managed to get a picture!
    Just when I thought my troubles were over, I realised that when the mini went to sleep, if I woke it up I had exactly the same problem. I would have to plus it into my pc monitor, wake it up then switch it with my LCD VGA cable.
    Is there anyway round having to do this every time I want to use my mini?
    Thanks

    Check out the manual for "Autoload" -- that's the name of the song file that's automatically loaded each time you start Logic or create a new file. You may want to look at some of the Peachpit books for walking you through creating this file to match your studio and workflow.
    Use Caps Lock to bring up a little keyboard on the screen that you can play with your computer keyboard.
    To change a track's icon, make sure you can see the track's info in the Arrange window. First select the track you want to work with. Pressing P toggles the properties column on the left. You may have to open up one of the areas using the little drop-down triangle thing, but you'll see an icon for the track in the properties area. Click and hold it to bring up a list of icons. You can create your own icons in the png format. Read the manual if you want to add your own images to Logic's standard icons.

  • Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often

    Hi,
    I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
    I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
    There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
    Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?

  • LCD display not working (blank screen)

    One day old 15" G4 (the latest model). No major changes to configuration; only basic software installed (Adium, Messenger, Firefox, Remote Desktop).
    The LCD display stopped working during normal operation (web browsing) and I assumed it was a power management issue (I was running on a low battery). I unplugged all devices, plugged it in and rebooted (per instruction manual); same issue.
    Since then, I've zapped the PRAM, booted with "R", reset the NVRAM, and reset the PMU. I also tried loading the setup CD with the "Option" to get the hardware check; this may have given me helpful data but I can't see the display so I'm not sure (read: display doesn't work even when booting from CD).
    External monitors work fine still. The Mac boots and everything loads perfectly. I can adjust the screen brightness on the LCD using the F1 and F2 keys; the display responds by varying the backlight but it is not rending the GUI; it remains black (or dark gray, really).
    I'm experienced with computers but this is my first time working on a Mac, so I'm completely unfamiliar with how to troubleshoot these things. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    This is exactly what has happend to my PowerBook a few days ago. Its only just out of warranty too. Man I wish I bought Apple care!!!!!!
    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, could you tell me what it was? Was it the inverter? I'm miles away from an Apple store (yes I know I live in the UK and its a small island, but its still miles) and woulf like to try and resolve it myself.
    Works fine on an external LCD. Tried everything!
    May get my screwdriver out.

  • 17" Studio LCD Display connect to G3

    I recently purchased a 17" Studio LCD Display which came with an ADC to DVI adapter.
    Then I picked up an adapter, but it was the wrong kind. It was DVI to VGA which still required the present VGA/G3 adapter ... the connection was going through three adapters that way. The monitor didn't light up. When I pressed the On/Off button (bottom right on front of display) the button lit up while my finger was on it and then faded to dark when I removed my finger. The system did not recognize the connection on the pci card either. I was able to hook everything up physically but the display didn't go on.
    When I plugged the UBS pigtail in, my system could see and recognize the monitor on the UBS port. So apparently, the driver software won't be a problem.
    Rather than putzing with adapters and connectors, I'd prefer to swap out the VGA card with a DVI video card for the G3. Is there such a video card available for the G3?
    Is this even feasible?
    The reason I need to keep this G3 is because it has a SCSI port (running Classic 9.2.2) which I require for an expensive high end scanner. Until I can find a comparable unit compatible with my new iMac I'd like to keep the G3 but would really like to hook up the lcd display on it.
    Any ideas?

    Exactly my problem too (and many others surely!)
    I have a macbook and a 17" LCD studio display which has a plug with 30 pins. As understand it, it is a DVI-I dual ink.
    I was about to buy the DVI adaptor from the mac store as it would appear to do the job but I learned that it is DVI-D and not DVI-I as is required. I searched for another picture of this adaptor (the pic on the mac store is decidely unhelpful) and it is clear from looking at it that it will not fit.
    Anyone know what to do here?

    I need a Front LCD Display Screen Touch Digitizer Assembly Frame for Iphone 4S Black, where can i buy it ? can i it by website? what ? thanks

    Anywhere you can find it via the obvious Google search. It won't be from Apple, but will be a generic replacement.
    Why are you throwing away any future chances of out of warranty replacements when you drop or drown it?  Apple will give you a warranteed replacement phone for $199 (in the US, roughly the same in your country)

  • Officejet 6500 709e LCD display doesn't display all pixels

    A week ago my wired printer stopped displaying all the pixels on the LCD display.  I can't, at this point, understand anyhting on the first or second lines.  So I don't know how much ink I have in each cartridge (which usually shows on the second line), because random pixels show up, not all of them, for each cartridge.
    Important to note:  The LCD display does not add extra pixels to the display.  It just leaves out pixels where there should be pixels.  So if it's intstalling a new in cartridge, I can't understand anything showing on the first line of the display because only a few pixels display as it's configuring the new cartridge.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    My printer, by the way, says it's "not connected to the computer" when I press the wrench button and then a help choice on the printer, but I have no problem printing from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv5-2074dx).
    Is there a way to fix my LCD display?  I've had the printer less than a year...

    Hello Jane0218,
    To be honest, I don't think that there would be much to do in this case. I think your best bet is to contact the HP support for your country and see if they can help you. If you bought the printer less than a year ago it is still within warranty so that shouldn't be a problem.
    Here you can find the support numbers for the US:
