Attaching a LCD TV

Hi
I have an Imac 20" and want to be able to attach it to my TV and use front row to play on the TV.
The first question is
My TV has a HDMI port (but I want to save that for a PS3 if poss) and A VESA Standard Port. the TV can support 1024 x 768 using this port. What cables do I need to acheive this.
My second is
Do I drag my movies into itunes and then play them from there in front row? Will the quality be any good or am i better burning a DVD and doing it the old fashioned way.
Oh and finally can you disable the main screen as I dont want to see a video twice
Thanks

Hi Andrew
1. The iMac's video adapter's do not support vesa the options are:
+For DVI displays, use the Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter (M9321G/B).+
+For VGA displays or projectors use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Display Adapter (M9320G/A).+
+For televisions, projectors or VCRs that use S-video or composite video connectors, use the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (M9319G/A).+
Options might be a HDMI switch for both the iMac & PS3 or use the Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (M9319G/A) and a S-Video cable from the iMac to the TV.
2. With Extended Desktop you can drag any open Application window (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, DVD player etc...) to the TV's display. When using Mirrored Displays, Frontrow will display on both displays.

3. The answer to your third questions is no, but a third party App. called Shades can dim either display down to black.

  • IMac 20" A1224 (EMC 2133) LCD bright grey but no video

    Hi All,
    I have an iMac 20" A1224 (EMC 2133) LCD boots up bright grey but no video, not even the able logo or spinning gear. After waiting the normal amount of time, the machine responds to keyboard input, i.e., I can change screen brightness and get the machine to beep at me by hitting various keys. I attach the external monitor and it works perfectly.. shows the desktop background after the computer boots up. I even booted the machine up to Ubuntu 11.04 GNU/Linux and was able to surf the Internet while looking at the externally attached display. All the while, the iMac LCD stays bright grey. The only time I see even so much as a flicker is when the computer boots up to GNU/Linux, where it flickers quickly once but then returns to bright grey.
    I've checked all the connections, I've run the command+option+p+r, I've unplugged the machine for over 12 hours and held the power button in and turned on power (to reset SMU), and I've disconnected the hard drive (shows a blinking folder if I have the external monitor attached and boot with the LVDS cable detached). I've even checked the LED lights - all four are lit.
    Very Frustrating!
    So now I'm left with trying to swap out parts.. An expensive idea to say the least!
    $24 Apple 922-8167 Cable, LVDS
    $250 ATI Radeon GPU
    $190 Apple iMac Intel 20" LCD Screen M201EW02 v.B
    Does anyone know a way that I can test to make sure which part to replace?
    Thanks!

    Oh and for those who might end up in this same situation... I was able to get the externally attached monitor to be the main screen by first unplugging the LVDS connection (from the LCD display to the motherboard), then booting with the external monitor on and attached. This is nice because now I'm able to use the computer as normal (while viewing it in the external monitor), and I can run a time machine backup. I tried mirroring displays, gathering windows, changing the resolution and brightness and nothing has yet brought back the video on the LCD panel.
    I still wish there was some type of testing software to check the GPU and tell me it's working perfectly... because then I could purchase the replacement LVDS cable / replacement LCD with confidence that replacing those items would fix the problem. Apple should attach these LCD panels with a DVI or HDMI connection internally... this way one could always (and easily) attach a monitor to the main output port and be able to easily isolate whether a video problem exists with the LCD/cable, or the GPU/Logic Board.
    Also, what's up with the replacement ATI GPU being $250+? That's ridiculous because I can buy a decent 3d-gaming capable PCI-X 3d graphics card for my GNU/Linux computer for about $80.

  • Why my Mac Mini cannot connect to my Samsung 32" HD LCD TV?

    Hi guys, I just bought a mac mini and a Samsung 32" HD LCD TV. I was trying to connect the mac mini to the TV by HDMI cable,I and set the PC as the source of the TV. but the TV cannot find signal at all. I tried both HDMI ports on the TV, the results were same. Please help me about this problem. Thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Please tell us about your LCD TV. What model is it? What year was it made?
    The reason that I ask is because Samsung says that their TVs made before 2007 have a DVI/HDMI port that does not support computer connections.

  • X1 Carbon - Come on, Lenovo. A little conscienti​ousness, please.

    I would like to express my disappointment in Lenovo's product and their lack of apt customer service.
    I bought my X1 Carbon (adaptive keyboard) in Singapore while on holiday sometime late March.  I started using it mid-April.  I am currently residing in the Philippines. 
    In the beggining, I had no issues with the unit.  Come late May, the screen started flickering in and out, accompanied by glitches and static formations - this happened usually when the device was running with a heavier load.  Apart from flickering, I noticed that the screen was a tad dim despite being at full brightness.
    Come early July, I contacted the service hotline (redirected to call center in Malaysia) to explain my concern.  The customer representative concisely told me that a technician from their partner in the Philippines would contact me very soon and drop by to wherever I am to repair the unit.  That I had nothing to worry about.  Clearly the customer representative knew this to be a known concern as he had very few questions before concluding his diagnosis of my unit.
    The wait was more than 2 weeks before I contacted the service hotline again, expressing concern that nobody got back to me despite getting an assurance that my issue would be resolved expeditiously.  This representative assured me that someone from their service center partner would contact me within the day.
    This still did not happen so I procured the number of their service partner and made the call myself.  After much confusion and a lot of time sapped, we finally got on the same page and they found that, indeed, I had a pending case and that they are waiting for an LCD Panel and LCD Cable for my unit.  A few days later, on August 01, 2014, the technician was in front of me, tinkering with my laptop in an attempt to replace the parts.
    As an aside, I asked the technician why the paint on the screws on the bottom of my supposedly brand new unit was faded.  He told me that my unit was likely not exactly brand new but a repaired-brand new unit.  That when shops receive a unit, they run it for some time and if they see a problem, they repair it then sell it still.  A reason why I went to an authorized Lenovo dealer was precisely because I wanted to relax in the idea that I would receive a laptop that corresponded to the price and hassles I went through.  Certainly not a repaired unit.
    While the technician was attempting to dismantle my laptop, I saw that he had a hard time.  I asked him why and he said it was his first time handling a unit like mine.  This did not sit well with me, as I am sure it would not with most others.
    When he got to replacing the LCD Panel, I saw that the panel that came with my laptop had a lot of black fingerprint smudges on it.  Does this not say something about the Production Process and Quality Control?
    Further, he realized that the LCD Cable supplied him was not compatible with my unit so he decided to use the old cable, in hopes that the LCD Panel was the only culprit in the flickering issue.
    When he put everything back together, there was no display.  From a flickering screen to nothing.  He went and opened the unit up again to find out why - this took a few hours of trial and error, ending up in no display, over and over again.  Finally, as he was trying to remove the Panel again, he saw that he did not attach the LCD Cable properly.  He rectified and the unit worked but with the screen still dimmer than it should be - something he confirmed as a symptom of a faulty part, probably the LCD cable, he mentioned.
    He told me that within 5 days, he would get the new LCD Cable to me, along with a sim card cover, which he damaged.  I followed up within those 5 days and the representative from Lenovo's service center partner tersely deflected my concern, telling me to go and call Lenovo as it was not their concern.
    As I have been indisposed for some time, it is just now I have found the time to write this.  Nobody has gotten back to me since August 01, again, despite previous assurances.
    In this post are an inordinate amount of concerns with Lenovo and their unit.  To summarize, and hopefully get some feedback and assistance:
    - Authorized Lenovo seller in Singapore sold me a seemingly repaired unit - basis: paint on screws were faded, technician mentioned that it had indeed been opened (dealer S.O.P.) and battery portion was tinkered with, which led him to presume there was a previous battery concern.
    - Lenovo service hotline and service supplier partner here apparently had flimsy coordination as I, the customer, had to call both parties up to follow-up on my concerns.  Took much longer than was promised.
    - Wrong parts sent, technician, albeit seemingly capable with Lenovo laptops, had no experience with my unit.  Leading to hours of trial and error and damaging of a portion of housing (sim card cover).  And due to the sheer amount of moving around the hardware, seals within do not stick well within and a good bet that parts are looser than ought to be.
    - Further weeks of waiting despite claims of getting the right part sent to me within 1 week.  Still waiting, into 3rd week now.
    - Production process / quality control issue - black smudges on original LCD Panel.  Isn't this hazardous for the individuals in the production line?
    - Oh, and what started everything - factory defect laptop, like many others on this board, with a dim and flickering screen.
    Before I purchased this unit, I had, for some time, been looking to purchase my first Lenovo unit.  Hoping to experience that legendary workhorse quality and reliability.
    Given its mid-range specifications, this unit is pretty expensive.  Imagine my disappointment when I paid a hefty price for a brand new device to later find out it was not only a repaired unit but a lemon in other parts of its hardware as well.
    No replacement of unit, passed around by representatives who either did not care or were not qualified (I am clumping Lenovo's partners as part of Lenovo, yes), ridiculous amounts of waiting time, and still no resolution.
    Overall, a top company with 3rd rate practices and service.  Simply indecent.

    Mine shuts down randomly.
    Post-sales: disconnected after 1.5 hours on hold. Thankfully I was doing work and had phone lying on my desk so I did not waste 1.5 hours of my time on hold.
    Tried online chat - "call post sales"
    Now called again and on hold for 35 minutes.
    This is ridiculous. I paid through Amazon Payments - will contact Amazon and see if I can have any recourse through Amazon. 

  • Connect iMac to an HDTV??

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if an HDTV will work when hooked up to the new iMac? I can't seem to find anything on the topic. I have a Toshiba 30HF85 TV with HDMI and I have a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
    I'll obviously need to get the mini-dvi adapter. I'm going to order the iMac soon and am just curious if I'll be able to mirror and use Front row on the TV...
    Anyway, if anyone has attempted a similar hookup please let me know... Thanks!

    Just last weekend I connected my Intel iMac to my Sony HDTV with the mini-DVI to DVI connector. My TV has a DVI input. It automatically showed up on the iMac as a Sony TV (in the display preferences). I wanted to try playing a HD movie trailer on it. In some ways it worked better than I was expecting (when opening an app such as iPhoto or Safari, it automatically enlarges and takes up about the same real estate as it does on your monitor. Very easy to read). But there is a problem with overscan. When I set it to mirrored mode, the image is cut-off on all four sides. There is an option to turn off overscan, but this then makes about an inch of black around the (full) image displayed. I only played with this for about five minutes and then put my iMac back in my office. When the MacBook Pro arrives (next week), then I will play around with this a little more. On a seperate occasion, I attached another LCD monitor to use in extended desktop. This setup is extremely useful for dragging and dropping from one app to another (such as iPhoto to iDVD or iMovie).

  • Mac mini, Time Casule & Macbook

    Will this system work?
    A MacBook laptop (already have), a Mac mini (and attach to LCD HDTV thru HDMI), a Time Capsule for back and for wireless network; attach Time capsule to DSL modem. DSL modem & Time Capsule would be in one room and TV & Mac mini in another--I want to have a wireless network that I can connect my MacBook laptop & Mac mini too. I should then be able to connect to internet thru macmini, stream movies via netflix, itunes to TV (also laptop).

  • RF Radiation Screen Shield

    Okay, I have a Mac Book Pro, and my mom is getting all paranoid about low level, long term radio frequency radiation, and she got this big sheet of "radiation-proof" plastic to "stop" the radiation supposedly emanating from my LCD screen. She's going to put it on no matter what I do, so I might as well make it pretty. Her idea was just to do a hack-job and tape the plastic onto the screen. xD
    As stupid as it is, it's what she's gonna do if I don't produce something fast. Does anyone know of a reliable source that shows that LCDs don't emit RF radiation (or like, measurements or something).
    OR
    You could describe how to get a plastic sheet to stick just like a screen protector without gluing it or anything... then it would actually be okay, just a screen protector. The idea is it has to be professional.
    Thanks.... I know it's kind of stupid, but how would YOU like it if your computer has a plastic sheet taped over your screen... I already needed to buy a case thing to mask all the little attachments that she already made me tape to it... The saddest part is that they're all fake and don't work, but I'm not allowed to take them off until I leave for college and get away, so still 3 more years of paranoia...

    If your mom is truly convinced that your LCD is emitting low-level long term radio frequency radiation, then I'm not sure any reliable source would be able to convince her otherwise. A good start would be to contact Apple and see if you could request a product safety sheet on the display. Manufacturers are supposed to make them available if you ask. It might contain information that would convince your mom that the display is not as dangerous as she seems to think it is.
    Here's one I found:
    http://www.beyondinfinite.com/lcd/Library/LG-Philips/LP154WP3-TLA2.pdf
    Here's a commercial screen protector, but I gather it's a peel and stick variety, which might be even less desirable than tape:
    http://www.amazon.com/MacBook-Crystal-Screen-Guard-Protector/product-reviews/B00 129G35Y/ref=dptop_cm_cr_acrtxt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
    It sounds like you have to get the display super clean so there won't be dust or bubbles under the protector. However, once in place, it's totally invisible. It also sounds like you can remove it later if you want to.
    What exactly is she getting? Can you post a link? Possibly it is available in some form that is designed to be attached to LCD displays. That would be the ideal solution if it exists, since it sounds like you are going to have to have this whether or not you want it. I'm really wondering what kind of plastic sheet this is that would stop radio waves.
    Good luck!

  • I have a version 1 iPad. I would like to be able to use my LCD projector to display content to my students. I have the dongle to attach to the projector, but can't make it work. The process DOES work with my friend's iPad 2. Any advice? Thanks!

    Expanding on what deggie said, with an iPad 1 the app you're using must support video out. Only the iPad 2 can mirror the screen. The apps included with the iPad that output to external monitors are given here:

  • Single horizontal line (picture attached)... bad LCD?

    Out of the blue one day, my display suddenly showed a thin 1 pixel line that goes from the left to the right of the screen. It changes color depending on what I've got on the screen.
    I opened up the computer to make sure everything was clean and dust free. Things looked fine. Do you think that the LCD is toast? Maybe a cable needs to be tightened? I have no clue.
    If I've got to replace the LCD screen, it's probably not worth it.
    What do you guys think?

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    I would want to run the Apple hardware test, or either of the TechTool programs, to verify if there is an obvious hardware issue. Insert your original OS X disk that came with the system that says in small print on the label 'AHT Version x.x'. Reboot holding the alt key down, choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. What you're looking for is whether it identifies any issues with the video circuit. If the issue is on the logic board, that leads you down one path. If no issues are identified, more likely it's an issue with the LCD.

  • Macbook Mini-DVI to VGA...   To 1080p LCD tv

    I was interested in buying a new display for my macbook, using the miniDVI to vga.
    Then i saw that new TV's have VGA ports on them to act as moniters, and thought.
    42" TV... or 19" moniter... hmm
    Currently i have the miniDVI to video cord so i can use my TV as an additional moniter when playin games etc.
    But its not clear enough to play the games on that screen.. its good for some videos
    But text and games its not good at all.
    Is the Mini DVI to VGA a good port?
    Would i be able to hook it up to a TV or if not a bigger moniter and have it as clear as the display attached to the laptop?
    Macbook
    2.0GHz
    1GB ram
    Vid card is just the old standard one when the black/white macbooks were still new.
    Not the cool new ones with nice video cards

    I have a 40 lcd tv and have my macbook hookuped to it using the mini display port to vga and it looks really good, but i only use it for watching movies. Dedicated monitors are still better for reading text or playing games

  • Using LCD TV as Display

    I have a 12-inch iBook G4, and I wanted to use my LCD screen as my display. I bought a Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter, when I connected it up the picture looked grainy. It looks like it wasn't scaled up just blown up (if you understand that). I can understand this because the computer isn't really sending a digital signal, just a video output signal (i don't think that makes any sense either). Is there any adapter that will make it look just as good as on my computer, or a setting i can change. Thanks in advance!

    The problem is the way the iBooks are designed to output a secondary video signal. In most computers, attaching a secondary monitor gives you the option to either mirror your first display (ie, a copy) or extend your desktop (giving you twice the space for, say, icons).
    iBooks, on the other hand, only have the ability to mirror. The ability to extend your desktop to the external monitor has been disabled in the firmware. This means that your iBook, essentially, sends the *exact same* video signal to both screens. What you see on your laptop screen is what you get on the LCD. Including resolution.
    If I recall correctly, you can scale that image down, but not up. The grainy image your describing is the signal being, as you said, blown up by the monitor itself.
    Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this. There are ways of hacking this problem, but none of them are supported by Apple.

  • FMIS vs LCDS for Real Time Messaging In Flex

    A team that I am working with is launching development for a new Flex app. The app will have multiple text chat rooms and video chat too.
    Since for video the architecture must include Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS), the client assumes we will use FMIS for the text messaging.
    My question is, for text chat what advantages does LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) have over FMIS?
    Does anyone here have experience with both that they can comment on? Can anyone provide links that might compare the pros and cons of LCDS vs FMIS? Or, dream come true, links providing comparisons of LCDS vs FMIS vs BlazeDS?
    Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    It sounds like you are changing the multiplier sometimes called the dX
    on the graph scale. This changes how the graph is labeled, which is
    sort of a unit or timescale change, but it doesn't affect the numeric
    formatting of the scale. On the same dialog, as well as on the popup
    are items for choosing scientific display or choosing digits after the
    decimal to display, if that is what you are interested in seeing.
    When you say you want to expand the waveform,
    you might also want to
    type into the min and max of the scale to view less data in the graph,
    thus leaving more detail on what is viewed. This is effectively
    zooming. If I still haven't guessed what it is you are trying to
    change, please explain your problem again in more detail or post a VI.
    As for choosing between a chart and a graph. The major difference is
    that a chart shows the new data attached to older historical data. If
    you are looking at individually sampled blocks of data, the graph is
    what you want. If you want to look at a window on all of the data you
    have gathered, a chart may work better. Also keep in mind that graphs
    have cursors, charts do not. If your chart's data isn't a waveform,
    then the X axis is simply samples and it tells the chart nothing about
    phase.

  • How do I connect a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina to an Epson Power Lite 61p LCD Projector?

    I am trying to attach an Epson PowerLite 61p LCD Projector to my 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, but I cannot find which type of adapter I need. I would assume whichever adapter is required it must connect via thunderbolt. However, I do not know if the required adapter is a "Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter," "Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter," or a "Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter." I would deeply appreciate your help and guidance. Thanks!

    It does not matter whether you get an Apple adapter or a third pary one.  What you have there is a Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, but as you know, your new MacBook no longer has an MDP port!
    Thunderbolt to VGA adapters do not exist but there are plenty of HDMI to VGA adapters out there:

  • Using the mini DVI - DVI cable with HDMI LCD screen?

    Hi,
    I bought the apple mini DVI - DVI connector to connect my imac to the back of my plasma. I have a 3 meter DVI cable to extend the mini DVI - DVI connector.
    It worked fine but the plasma is not so good for my purposes as i am using the set up to display images.
    I have just bought an LG LCD TV for a very good price.
    However the LG LCD does not have DVI socket! It has HDMI.
    Is there a cable available that is DVI (female) - HDMI?
    And will this work in theory?
    Any advise is much appreciated...
    Thanks

    Hi Network 23,
    Im not sure what you mean exactly?
    Which adapters and cables are you using between TV and Mac?
    My PowerBook and MacBook Pro have a DVI port, so I start there. I guess you're starting from the DVI port at the end of your adapter cable. At this point we both start from a standard DVI port.
    From there I attach the DVI-HDMI adapter I linked to earlier, and then between that and the HDMI port on the TV, I use a simple, inexpensive HDMI cable also bought at monoprice.com. While you could also use a DVI-HDMI cable, I chose to use a DVI-HDMI adapter so that I could use standard HDMI cables, since I anticipate buying more HDMI components in the future.

  • Mini won't boot when VGA is attached to KVM -- help!

    My mini (Core Duo 1.86MHz, all updates installed) is attached to a Belkin Pro2 4-port KVM (F1DA104T). I've read comments about issues with KVMs being picky with the mini, but the mini won't even completely boot when the VGA cable is attached. I've used this KVM with other 10.4 Macs in the past (G3's, G4's), so I didn't expect problems. The monitor is a Dell 17" LCD (E173FP), which is fine when attached directly to the mini. I've also tried another LCD (different manufacturer) with same results.
    The mini boots and I first see the gray screen with the Apple logo, followed by a light blue screen, and that's it. The finder never comes up, and I can't even SSH or VNC into it -- just the blue screen. Once I remove the VGA cable (only video - the keyboard and mouse are both still connected), it will complete the boot and launch the finder. If I boot with no display attached, or attached directly to the LCD w/o the KVM in the path, but then attach the mac to the KVM, I see the display for about two seconds, and then the monitor heads into power save mode. When I VNC into the mini to see what's going on, it's detecting two different displays; when the cable is attached but the KVM isn't on the mac's channel, it's one thing. When I switch over to the mac's channel, it's like I'm plugging in a different display. In any case, the computer is putting out 1024x768x60Hz, which is well within the specs of the monitor and KVM.
    I installed SwitchresX and under VNC retrieved the DDC info. Here's what I have for when it's plugged into the KVM and on channel:

    Hi BSteely,
    Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
    The blue screen I see is definitely not being generated by the LCD - it's coming from the Mac. It's coming up just after the gray Apple logo you see when booting. Normally you'd next see the finder pop up, but that never happens as long as the KVM is plugged into the mac (and it's only the VGA connection which is doing this, since the same thing happens with the keyboard/mouse unplugged from the mac). Once I remove the VGA cable, it continues to boot normally. If I hookup the LCD directly to the mac, it also boot normally.
    Sorry I wasn't clear about VNC. I'm not seeing two displays at once, I'm seeing two different displays -- one when the kvm is on the mac's channel, and another when it switches away. Funny enough, I'm getting MORE resolution choices when I'm not on channel. The DDC info I posted above is for when I'm on channel.
