Best display

What is the best display for mac mini at a reasonable price?

!00% true... I really like my setup, but my brother says "it's too much". (He has a 13" and a 17" - these are 22")
BTW, I spent less than $300 for both monitors AND the MiniDisplay to  VGA adapter for the second

  • Best display in the $1,000-$1,5000 range?

    Can anyone recommend the best display in the $1,000-1,5000 range that can be used for attempting to do the best color correction possible?  Thanks!

    Thanks.  I went to Panasonic's website and the smallest Pro Plasma display is the 42" TH-42BT300U (http://www.panasonic.com/business/plasma/th-42bt300u.asp) at over $3,000.  I called B&H and they recommended the brand new Panasonic BT-L2150PJ (http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/BT-L2150PJ.asp) at $1,700.  Any thoughts?

  • What is the best display setting to have it on when connected to a TV?

    I just bought a mini dvi adapter and I was wondering what the best display setting was to make it as clear as a possible.
    I have it connected to a 52 in screen.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    The best display setting is actually its native screen resolution, usually the max resolution is the native one, but double check it with the TV respectively site to get more accurate technical answer.
    Good Luck.

  • What is the best display to replace a 15" matt MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone this is my first post. I have a dilemma that I need assistance with. I have plans on buying the new Mac Book Pro after two happy years with my current 2.33 GHZ *15" matt* version. However, as most of you will be aware I won't be able to buy a 15" matt version for the 2008/9 version.
    I spoke to Apple sales and I was told that for the type of computing I do both the 15" matt and the 17" matt and gloss versions would not be suitable, which leaves me very confused and I really don't want to go back to a PC.
    Here's some information on how I use my Mac and for what purpose - *maybe you can advise me on the best option*. I currently spend 10 or more hours each day on the Mac for work. 95% of this time is spent using Safari, Mail and iWork. The rest is spent using Dreamweaver and editing photographs. The issue is that I work from home literally with the Mac balanced on my lap whilst slumped in the couch (comfy!), this is where I'm told the *17" will be too large to use on my lap and is really meant to be used on a desk* and the *glossy screen will cause headaches* for this length of time. I rarely travel with my Mac just to the odd meeting once or twice a month.
    What do you think is my best option:
    A. Macbook Pro 15" Glossy
    B. Macbook Pro 17" Glossy
    C. Macbook Pro 17" Matt
    D. Buy a PC
    Please help me decide...Paul

    I'm currently slouched in a glider in front of the fire using my 17" MBP on my lap with no problems. I have the matte hi-resolution display and I see no reason why you couldn't do the same. I absolutely love the real estate of the 17".
    Apple salespeople will tell you that MBP's are notebook computers rather than laptop computers every time and that they don't recommend them for laptop use. The main thing is to be sure you don't block air circulation and exhaust so that it won't overheat. Some people use a flat lapboard or lap desk. I rest mine on my thighs and knees so that the vents are free and air circulates freely in the middle.
    Many photographers feel that a laptop display is not as good for editing photos as a desktop display, but I don't know to what extent that would apply to the latest screen technology. I do know that my old iBook display was awful for even the most primitive of editing. The one I have now is more than adequate for what I do. A professional might prefer a desktop display, but you can always add a separate external display if you decide you need one. If you are happy with your old MBP and it would do what you needed, I think there is no reason not to go with a new MBP.
    There are huge debates over matte vs. glossy. I think I would lean towards the matte, since you work 10 hrs/day, and that is what you know you can do comfortably. I have heard a bit more about eyestrain issues with the glossy display, and that might be something to consider. It would at least be worth visiting a store where you can spend some time with the glossy and see how you feel about it. In the end, it will come down to personal preference.
    Good luck!

  • Best display port adapter?

    Just got a nice new matte T410s, and I need to get appropriate hooksups for my HD Computer Monitor (w/hdmi) and TV.
    I see that a lot of the adaptors don't transmit sound.   I have the discrete nvidia card, which I have read can in fact transmit sound.  
    What is the best value display port adapter to HDMI and/or DVI? 

    there are a lot of displayport to hdmi adapters on the market, the difference between them in actual functionality perspective is not that much.
    My recommendation is to get a cheap one from ebay or amazon, etc.

  • Best display profile for video editing

    Among the choices you see under Display Profile on a Mac, what is considered "best" choice for video editing, so that you can assess color, exposure, etc. in your footage as you edit? I have always used Adobe RGB (1998), but realize that I have no knowledge about whether that's a good choice.
    What do the 'good' editors use (to differentiate them from guys like me)? Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video editing? Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated!
    -- Mark Strand

    what is considered "best" choice for video editing
    there is only one setting for Final Cut; Generic RGB
    This is an apple stipulation, its how Final Cut must be set up, choosing any other profile will cause problems with any out put files you create.
    Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video
    ICC colour management is designed and can only be used for still image files eg. so while you can calibrate a computer monitor it can only be used with still image files; TIFF CRW JPEG PSD. ICC profiles are not recognised by Final Cut Pro or QuickTime.
    The colour management system used in video involves using video scopes, an accurate PAL or NTSC colour monitor and tools like the 3 way colour corrector.

  • One Size Fits All? (Stage size for best display on iOS and Android)

    I'm beating my head against the wall trying to find the one proper stage size that will accommodate all iOS devices and all Android devices adequately.
    I've been following Colin Holgate's informative posts and am using the   stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;  approach.
    However, I'm not sure what I should be setting the dimensions of my stage to, as the suggestions I found of Colin's seem to be prior to the release of iPhone 5 and the iPad retina display.
    Can anyone recommend a stage size that would work best in trying to accommodate the wide variety of devices out there?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this an easier way to place a button in the top right (assuming center point is in top left of button)?
    button.x = stage.stageWidth - button.width;
    button.y = 0;
    edit: I suppose that doesn't apply to show_all. I'm used to using
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    We've done this with banners at the top and bottom. If you design a banner for a specific aspect ratio, you can do something like
    banner.width = stage.stageWidth;
    banner.scaleY = banner.scaleX;
    This causes the banner to fill the width of the screen and change height proportionately. If you want to have more control over the elements in the banner, something like
    banner.background.width = stage.stageWidth;
    var newHeight:int = stage.stageHeight / 8;
    banner.background.height = stage.stageHeight / 8;
    banner.buttonBack.height = newHeight;
    banner.buttonBack.scaleX = banner.buttonBack.scaleY;
    banner.buttonBack.x = banner.buttonBack.y = 0;
    banner.title.height = newHeight / 2;
    banner.title.scaleX = banner.title.scaleY;
    banner.title.x = banner.buttonBack.x + banner.buttonBack.width * 1.2;
    banner.title.y = newHeight / 2;
    etc
    This might not be what you're looking for at all, but I find it works well for resizing.
    When asked to convert a fixed-size iPad app to one that dynamically resized for Android devices, we found it infeasible to completely recode the app in the time required, so we mixed dynamic resizing like above with throwing lots of objects into an empty MovieClip and scaling the MovieClip to fit the current stage size. This didn't hurt performance much, even when running graphics designed for the iPad's 2048*1536 retina display on much smaller screens.

  • Best display calibration unit for mac pro under $100?

    I have come to the conclusion that calibration by eye is a suckers bet.  So looking at calibration units, for example spyder 3 express.
    Wondering what units work best with mac pro (2008 8 core).
    Thanks for replies.

    My experience is that it comes down to multiple factors. The monitor, the application you're using, along with the color profiles you're using.
    I use a 30" Dell display hooked to a 5770 graphics card and I make sure the color profiles are consistant over the applications I use.
    At one stage I bought a Huey Color Correction device. I eventually put it on the shelf and forgot about it.
    My conclusion is, after years of consistently good color printing results, is that if you've got the components right like a good monitor and working with consistant color and press profiles then the "Expert Mode" is Apple's Color Calibration in System Preferences is completely adequate.
    I spend every day color correcting in our graphic design business and we get terrific, predictable results.

  • Best Display for my buck...

    Hi all, I have found these forums invaluable and I hope someone has some insight into my query...
    I am getting a Mac Pro soon to replace my aged PC desktop and was originally thinking about adding a 23" display to my order. I primarily do digital coloring for comic books and a bit of video/dvd as well as some intense Shake work for my own projects.
    What I want to know is, I know that Mac displays are GREAT for color but what other monitors also compare and can maybe save me some money? I have done lots of searching online and just end up with my head swimming from an overload of info.
    Hopefully someone can recommend a good monitor set up for me out there. If I am going to spend 1000 on a display should I get the Apple 23" (I do need accurate colors) or can I get more bang for my buck (and maybe more screen space?) from somewhere else.
    Thanks and as always I appreciate your thoughts,

    Original poster has three options:
    1)  Increase budget significantly
    2)  Accept reduced performance of a laptop within their intended budget compared to what they want
    3)  Buy a desktop.  He can meet his performance desires with his budget limits with a desktop.
    Actually, he can get very close to his performance desires for around $500-600.  A Core 2 Quad Q6600 + 9800GT setup with premium motherboard/power supply, etc. can be purchased for around $600 (IF you build it yourself using parts ordered from a site that has eggs that are not old.)  A Core 2 Duo + 9800GT setup with a slightly lower end motherboard (but still good) can be done for around $490 + tax/shipping.  These prices do NOT include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse though.  It's assumed that the user already has these since they are posting on the forums. 
    While such a configuration will not necessarily be "good" 2 years from now, only some components will need upgrades to do so, and as a result given their $900-1300 budget, they could spend $600ish now and $300ish 2 years from now for upgrades at the low end, or at the high end of their budget buy a $600 desktop now and a $600 desktop 2 years from now.
    If their budget is $900-1300 now but will have some additional money freed up for upgrades but not a replacement 2 years from now, they can get a gaming desktop and a nice netbook now.  No games on the road, but at least the capability to surf web/check email/IM on the road.

  • 'Best' display for a Quad?

    Hi, I'm looking for a replacement display (currently using NEC), what are the best models available?
    Message was edited by: Terry Brown

    Dear Mr. Brown,
    Apart from the available budget, that depends on what you're doing with your computer system; professional dtp, office work, games, you name it. Panel technic is the key here.
    To be able to buy the right monitor this website could be useful. And if you wish to test the monitor you still own, well, using the tests on this site couldn't hurt also.
    Success and best regards,

  • How can I best display results while a client seq is running?

    Using the TestStand 3.1 UI controls, I'd like to see results as a test runs. I don't want to have two controls, Execution View and Results, just one.
    I think I could add column(s) to the Sequence View control that used expressions to pull values out of the Results container. Or I could have some routine that formats values in the Results container, writes a string to Report Text, then have ReportText go into a single, wide column in the Execution View control.
    How does everyone else do this?

    Hello dowNow,
    I think that the two methods you outlined would be the best options to see the results as a test runs without having two controls. I think that adding the columns to the Sequence View would probably be the easiest to implement.
    I hope that this information is helpful.

  • Best option for best display without DVD

    I've been reading all the b/g threads as research...
    I have a 1920x1080 project timeline, 23 mins total time. Source material 1080i mixed with some other soure material. I export as Quicktime Conversion, choose NTSC 720x480 16:9 (853x480) to burn to a DVD in iDVD (max 480 lines). Part of my timeline has a high res graphic overlay, like a super in the corner over all video in the timeline. When I export at 1280x720 QT, it looks great in my external (DVI out) computer monitor. When I burn the 853x480 QT movie to iDVD and play in the (brand new) scalable Sony DVD, I choose the HDMI source (1080p) option and the image appears less than stellar, the graphic is smudgy and the titles are not brilliant sharp. Then I switch over my source over to VIdeo 1 (480 lines - composite) on the DVD player and the image looks pretty much the same, smudgy and not as sharp as I was hoping. It is playing full screen 16:9 but I'm a little disappointed in the quality of 480.
    I have to play this video at a convention in a hall, with LCD panels and a large projector. Here's what I'm thinking. Why use DVD at all. Wouldn't I just want want to hookup laptops with VGA output to to go LCD panels instead of DVD players that limit the quality. QT player has the option to loop video. Same with  computer out to projector via VGA. Is this the solution? Or will 720p choke on a PC laptop.
    On a Mac, DVI to VGA to 40" LCD panel? HD display?
    On a PC, VGA out to VGA in 40" LCD panels.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Thanks for the hedzup on VGA devices on PC laptops. So the substitue would be to insist on MacBook Pro for playback as they have DVI out, which would give me what I want on an LCD panel for quality video at 1280x720 or 1920x1080i or p? The video is only 22 min long.
    But you have suggested another option as well? I didn't know this is possible. I have my MacBook Pro DVD burner, and my DVD player is Blu-ray compatible at HDMI 1080p with HDMI cable. Can I really burn a Blu-ray video with Roxio Toast to 1280x720 on my MacBook, and it will play at 720p in the DVD player, bypassing the limitations of iDVD? I understood Blu-ray was a completely different laser technology with unique DVD disks.

  • How to best display/update images in gallery??

    I'm designing a site for my photography but I'm stuck. I'm new to this and trying to learn, so I'll try to explain clearly. Usually I have problems with things that sound like they should be really simple but end up with unbelievably complex answers, so please keep my beginner status in mind with responses (the complexity itself isn't an issue since i'm sure i could learn whatever needs to be done, just that nothing is more frustrating than an answer of pure code and no plain-english explanation of what is going on).
    the overall design is simple enough: thumbnails to the right (in their own iframe so links can navigate several columns of thumbs, though i'm sure there's a better way to do this, too), large images to be displayed nearish to the center, and some other stuff to the left unrelated to this issue. If all the images were oriented the same way (all landscape or all portrait) i'd have no trouble just creating a frame/iframe of the correct size and call it good enough, but i have about half landscape and half portrait. I considered a square iframe, but then i'd have to create a new html file for every single image (to make the image centered and make the background transparent so i don't get white bits). Is there a way I can do this where i could link just the jpgs to something (centered within a frame, div, whatever) with transparency enabled and save myself the pain of creating dozens of individual html files?
    I've researched a few ideas I had: It doesn't appear to be possible to link directly to a large square div. It also doesn't seem possible to format/style an iframe to meet those requirements without the individual html pages. I've wondered if it would be possible to create two overlapping iframes (one for landscape, one for portrait) and have the link specify which one should show, but i've found nothing helpful on this issue (not even enough to know if it's possible in this context). i even considered throwing out dreamweaver completely and doing a flash-based site, but i was told that this was too hard for a beginner and to not even try (always love a vote of confidence). If I am told the same thing here I may consider scrapping the project entirely because i'm fast running out of options (and i just won't create individual html pages for dozens and dozens of images, it's not worth that kind of tediousness). And this should be obvious, but because a friend suggested it someone else might: no, my work cannot be cropped so they're all the same dimensions and i'd prefer to not modify the images in photoshop to create borders that make them all square (on a slow connection it looks really strange if the image and the "background" load together).
    I hope i gave enough info/details.

    Instead of creating x-number of html pages, just have your menu page dynamically write the html page to the main viewing frame.  If you have different layouts you can have javascript code make decisions based on information you pass to the writing functions from the menu selections.  What you'll want to do is learn how to use the document.write() javascript functionality.  You would build a variable that contains the html code for the page and then use the document.write() function to write that code into the frame.
    As a simplified example, you could have a javascript function in the menu page that you pass the image name to and write that as a page to the "main" frame...
    function createImagePage(imageFilename){
        // create the page code
         var mainCode += "<html><head><title>An Image Page</title></head><body><img src=\"";
         mainCode += imageFilename;
         mainCode += "\"></body></html>";
         // write the page code to the main viewing frame
         parent.main.document.open();
         parent.main.document.write(mainCode);
         parent.main.document.close();
    While I didn't show it, if you have two different page styles to create, then along with the filename you could pass a style number to the function to have the javascript decide which format to code.
    Sorry if that little bit of code is over your head, but you'll have to learn the languages involved in web pages if you want to create them.  Using document.write() is one of the first things you are likely to learn in a javascript course.
