Apple CRT Studio Display Calibration in Leopard

My translucent CRT Apple Studio Display is with internal HW ColorSync calibration equipped.
In Tiger i have in Color tab buttons for Gamma, White Point, Ambient Light, Calibration and Profile. In Leopard is only Profile and manual calibration.
Automatic HW calibration for CRT Studio Display is no more supported in Leopard?
Thanks!

Thanks!

How to get old apple CRT studio display to stock settings?

The adjustments of my screen have been messed with and I keep trying to mess with it, but I can't seem to get it right. Is there a way to put the screen adjustment settings back to stock?

You shouldn't need any software. Any software that came with the display would have been for OS 9, anyway. They stopped selling the display before OSX came out, but OSX should be able to use it with its built-in drivers. Do you hear the startup sound from the display's power supply? Can you see the glow of the CRT filament?

17in CRT Studio Display (Blue & White)-blinking power button

I have an Apple 17in Studio Display (CRT-Blue and White vintage) connected to my Power Mac G5.
Last night, I went home, and turned it on..or rather tried to turn it on but found it stayed black, with the power button blinking green->amber->green->amber etc.
As far as the computer was concerned, the monitor was still there and working (dual monitors...the mac kept the b&w as if it was turned on).
I swapped the monitors to the different video ports and the other monitor worked fine, so it's not the video card or vga->digital adapters.
I unplugged the monitor and replugged it, and it stayed with the blinking light.
Restarting the computer with the monitor attached had the computer still running as if the monitor was working just fine, so it seems to be getting what ever kind of feedback the mac gets to let it know a video card is there.
Anyone have any idea what could be up?

Apple 21" studio Display monitor-help

I have a G4 and just got an apple 21" studio display monitor
I work in photoshop CS2 what do I put the resolution at? Color and refresh?
what should the white point and gamman be? what should the profile on themonitor display?
I WENT INTO THE PREFERENCES AND LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY..THANKS..JAN

(for my photos the service I use said to use sRGB the resolution)....
Then open CS2 and under Photoshop scroll down to Color Settings, go to Work Space and set the RGB tab to sRGB. At the top of the menu under Monitor it should be your Apple 21" Display.
If it is not then it will change after you calibrate the monitor. Open System Preferences/Desktop and change your desktop to a medium gray (you can change it back after you make the necessary color corrections). Now choose Display, select your preferred screen resolution, and millions of color. Now choose Color from the upper tab to Calibrate the monitor. If you check the box "Show profile for this display only" the menu will be simplified. Now select Calibrate and use the professional mode. Just follow the on screen instructions and do all of the color setting using the 1.8 gamma and native whiter point.
After the monitor is calibrated you will be asked to save and name the calibration. I would recommend a name similar but different from the default Apple 21" Display setting, you can even include the date if you calibrate often.
Reopen Photoshop and check the Work Space the RGB/Monitor the setting should be your recent selected calibration.

No adapter available for CRT studio display..?

Hi everybody,
just got a handmedown old crt studio display:
http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macreleased/images/studio17_side.jpg
i thought i'd get an adapter and plug it to my imac to increase screen real estate (have been using a VGA display for some time like that)
Not so simple; the ADC connector seems like it's giving me no choice. I also have a latest macbook, also with mini-dvi output and same issue therefore.
Have been browsing forums but all i could dig was info related to the flat LCD panels and newer. Same for manufacturers, all adapters point to newer monitors.
So it's like either i keep for the looks or buy an old powermac G4/450 to suit..? Are these the only alternatives?
I imagine I'm not the very first person to ever come across this situation and maybe someone will be kind enough to offer some advice/share experience?
Cheers!

Chiz,
I own: Samsung 191T+, 19-inch LCD; Apple 20-inch LCD; Apple 23-inch LCD. There is no question (in my mind) that the Apples are sexier looking. I like the wide screen and the design. But, the price is stiff. The Samsung has a traditional 3:4 aspect ratio as opposed to the Apple 10:16. The Samsung models ending in the letter T have typically been of higher quality.
You should spend some time on the MWave website and look at the various Samsung models.
My Samsung has been connected to my iBook (via the analog (VGA)) port and to my PowerBook and PowerMac (via the digital (DVI)) port.
I won't buy ViewSonic because of bad experiences (5 blown high voltage power supplies) on their CRT models. I have no experience with Sony nor NEC.
Unless you are a gamer, you can ignore reponse time. Resolution is fixed for the screen size. LCDs have a native resolution; unlike CRTs. All manufacturers lie about contrast and brightness.
I recommend buying monitors from local stores. That way you can inspect YOUR monitor before you buy it.
I would recommend that you call Other World Computing and talk to them about video cards.

New Mac Mini / DVI / Apple 17" Studio Display

Greetings all.
I am contemplating purchasing new Mac Mini.
Currently using Mac mini / DVI adapter/ older Apple 17" studio display.
I do not intend monitor change at present.
Question is, which display adapter would allow me to use older DVI adapter/Apple 17" studio display?
Thanks for you time, looking forward to your response.
Regards,
TrevorB

Apple Mac Studio Display 23" cinema with plastic surround

Does anyone have any idea what this monitor might be worth nowadays.

I'm not sure exactly which ATI Rage 128 video card you have. If your video card has only a VGA output, and your display is the clear acrylic ADC version, you'll probably have to replace the video card with one with DVI digital output. As far as I know, there aren't any VGA-to-DVI or VGA-to-ADC adapters. Alternately, there are lots of LCD monitors for PCs that have VGA 15-pin inputs, and that would be the easy way to go.
If there are 2 outputs on the card, a VGA 15-pin and a DVI-D connector (that's what's on my AGP graphics G4, and it looks sort of like a SCSI port with a flat pin at one end), and you have one of the clear 15" ADC Studio Displays, you need to get one of Apple's DVI-to-ADC adapters, $99.95 at the Apple store. It will plug into the DVI output and supply power for the display.
There are early model Apple 15" Studio Displays, a Blue & White version which has a VGA input which will work with your card, and a Graphite version which I think has a DVI connector.

B&W 17" CRT Studio Display Monitor

I have this connected to my G5 P/Mac which works fine.
At present it is powered through my old G3, can I power the monitor directly through a power lead to the mains supply?
I think the power lead from the G3 might do this?

Salutations...
; >}
It sounds like the monitor is re-calibrating. When you re-calibrate an Apple CRT the monitor goes though a self analysis and flashes solid colors on the screen. (Other brands are not as tightly integrated with the Mac OS so you must do this by hand, er... eye... er... whatever.) What OS are you using? I know there was a setting in OS 9 & OS 10.3 to re-calibrate automatically periodically. Check the Monitors/Displays control under “color.” I always switched off that feature and re-calibrated when I had a free moment.

Dual Apple Cinema Studio Displays where one uses DVI-to-ADC adapter

I have an Apple Power Mac G4 MDD dual 1.25 GHz desktop with 2GB RAM running OSX Tiger 10.4.
It is supporting two Apple Cinema Studio LCD flat panel 17" displays simultaneously.
Currently, it has three internal hard drives and one SuperDrive.
I use this computer exclusively for my home recording studio for music production.
My main computer applications are therefore, Pro Tools LE 7.4, Steinberg Cubase, and Reason 3.0.
Also, I have the full Microsoft Office Suite, but rarely use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access.
To drive the dual displays, I am using a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro which has one ADC port and one DVI port. Therefore, I am using a DVI-ator adapter to connect one of my ADC displays to the DVI port.
Yesterday, while recording, one of the two displays developed a broad vertical band (approx 4" of black with thin red, green and blue vertical lines). The other display was fine, however.
I decided to shut down my PowerMac G4 and disconnect the DVI-adapted display and re-boot with only the display that was connected to the ADC port. The Power Mac G4 booted up fine and ran only its display on this particular monitor.
However, within 5 minutes, the screen re-developed the broad black vertical band with thin red, green and blue lines running up-and-down as before. Therefore, I shut it down and re-booted again. This time, it never booted back up. Rather, its progress indicator (clock picture moving in clockwise diagram kept on spinning around & around, but never booted-up.
What does this symptom indicate?
How can I boot-up from the SuperDrive?
Is there some special combination of hot keys to get to its setup mode (like in Windows)?
From these symptoms, is my PowerMac G4 MDD fixable?

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
It could be that your graphics card has bit the dust.
To boot to the OS install disc from the optical drive, hold the C key when powering up. This should bring you to the installer. In the window after selection of your desired language, from the menu bar, you canselect Utilities/Disk Utility. From there, run Repair Disk on the hard drive to insure the integrity of the hard drive.
My computer won't turn on
Now, if you are able to boot, but no video is displayed, then your graphics card is probably dust.
My computer displays no video
If you have a copy of the Apple Hardware Test, it would be good to run that, to verify the hardware.
If you don't have the AHT, you can download it, and burn it to CD, and run from that:

Apple 17 Studio Display on Dual 2.7 G OS 10.4 G5

What do I need to connect my two Apple 17" (ADC)Studio Displays on my Dual 2.7 G OS 10.4 G5?
Just buy two Apple DVI to ADC adapters ($99)?
Any caveats?
Thanks.

Hi sbunk-
That should do it. I personally know of no caveats.

21 inch apple crt studio montor sharpness

Just bought a used 21" monitor (the one with the grey back and 4 usb connection son the side). Blown away by the amount of settings. It looks great but the corners seem a little less than sharp. Is this just age or are there settings I should be messing with?
dave

Are you used to using LCD monitors and notebook screens? I guess I am brainwashed now because I can barely stand to use CRT screens anymore. They all look blurry to me. Especially the corners.

Display Calibration Creates Color Profile Problems.

I haven't received any response out of the MBP Display forum and I thought you guys might have better insight anyway because you are dealing with color calibration more often. Here it is:
I used colorsync utility to calibrate my monitor, hoping it would at least get the colors more accurate than they are with the "Color LCD" profile. The Color LCD profile has a bad yellow tinge to it. I went through the process 4 times so I would be able to choose the best profile out of the 4. (Now I can't delete the extra profiles but I guess that is a different topic...) The color accuracy and the gray-tone is MUCH better BUT I have a slight (understatement) saturation problem.
My problem is after using Color Sync, ALL of my REDS are oversaturated and blown out. There is a problem with the blues and greens as well but it isn't as bad. Of course, they look fine in non color managed applications (ie FireFox) but everything else makes my photos look horrible. Even the RAW files straight out of the camera look blown out.
I had, at first edited these files on a PC so they always looked fine but now that I have switched to Mac I have noticed how oversaturated they are in all of its color managed applications. (Safari, preview, and even the desktop.) I thought perhaps that I had just pumped up the contrast and saturation too high on the PC and the color profile was now creating a problem because the color was set for an un-profiled file. BUT after viewing the unaltered .NEF's straight out of my camera, they too are oversaturated.
Now, I have some wallpapers I had downloaded from the web that look the same as before. It is just MY OWN photographs that are oversaturated. Obviously I have chosen the wrong color profile or something is wrong with my workflow. The wallpaper that looks the same doesn't have a profile assigned it when I view-info. It just labels the color space as RGB. All my photos that have problems, have a color profile assigned. I am using sRGB as recommended. There are a few still using Adobe RGB (which is what my camera defaults to) and they have the same oversaturation problem.
Aperture is set to export with an sRGB profile and CS2 uses sRGB as well.
Any advice? What monitor and color management profile's are you guys using?
I can't tell what is right anymore. What should I edit my photos to look good in? The only MONITOR profile that doesn't blow them out is Adobe/Apple RGB, Color LCD, and a few of the other default installed profiles.
I've got a bad case of color vertigo!

sorry uberfoto, did not get what MBP meant at first.
what Jan says about color calibration tool is right....and start again from the RAW.....
i am photographer in the advertisement, reportage, portraits and landscape.
my problem was to get the thinks printed as I saw them on the screen.
here what I have to say on that (part of another discussion):
".... Sorry, but no AppleTFT Display comes close to a hardware calibrated display. Maybe they are semi-professional. I do not say this to insult Apple, ore somebody else, but i say this to sway out the illusion of , " if I just spend more money on the calibration tool and software, I´ll have better prints". It´s just not possible, because the display cant show what is there. A Apple CRT Studio Display is far better in this. I you want to have a flat-screen TFT Display to bring good results, you have to choose one that is able to be hardware calibrated and has a higher lookup table (EIZO, LaCie, QuatoGrafics......)
I use use one professional EIZO CG21" and one semi-prof. EIZO FlexScanL985EX(21") and the diffrence is important between the two.
But i need only one to be Print Proof ready.
Before i was always afraid when i gave the picture file to my client, because of what my pictures look like once it is printed. Now the outcome is right or differs only very little from what I saw on the screen. my calibration tool is EYE ONE. "..
BUT your main problem is how it looks in the web.
my thoughts and suggestion on this:
1. most people see the web on PC Display. those use a gamma of 2.2
(apple = 1.8) so pictures appear more blue with more contrast. this setting is made to hide the low ability of the system and display to show colors as they are and give and give crispy impression. So you will have to consider this when you prepare the pictures for the web. therefor the standard calibration of your MBP is best for your needs. ( for printing the Display has to be set on 5.600 kelvin ,that would be to warm 4 the wwweb).
2.
a) In the beginning I use Aperture 1.5 (or Lightroom) to select and prepare the pictures as I like them.
b) then I export them in 8 bit/300 dpi in the size they will be used as PSD or TIFF.
c) I will then open them in Photoshop (color-settings=web /internet) make the cleaning and so on.( 4 the web I always increase the saturation because sRGB and JPG will throw away lots of colors).
d) AND NOW "save for the web ". This is definitely the best tool to prepare pictures for the web. on the right upper part of the window there is a flash-open menu where you may choose to see the colors like in windows or macintosh system.
and on the lower right of the application-window there is a roll-down menu where you may preview the results in different browsers of your choice.
It is here where you can produce amazing high Q pictures 4 the web under 100 kb.
Hope this may help.
good luck,
larry

Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
Please let me know...
Ger

Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

Can a Apple Studio Display be used with a none Mac PC under Windows

Hello, can a 21 Inch Apple Mac Studio Display Monitor (Graphite) be used with a none Mac PC under Windows. Thanks Peter

what's a "none" Mac PC?
It can be done, but you'll need to purchase an ADC-DVI adapter in order to connect to the DVI port on the PCs video card.
