Change my display for a matte or anti-glare one

Hello.
I've got a new G580 laptop, but I found really annoying and unuseful the glare screen.
I've tried to put over a protector film, but it's even worse because it makes some bubbles in between the film and the display.
so, is it possible to change my display for a matte or anti-glare one? is there any other solution?
Thanks.

Hi Akronix,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear about the situation and the display cannot be replaced by other type of displays and the only available option is to use a protector film, I suggest you to get the protector film on the Laptop by an expert to avoid bubbles on the screen.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

HT204053 i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone. how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone. how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

To change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>Facetime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPod. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

Is there any way to get a glass cover for my high res anti glare display?

This may sound silly but I wasn't expecting the high res anti glare macbook pro to not have a glass cover over it. to many this might not be an issue, but I need to be able to use a digital drawing pen over top the surface of my monitor. My previous macbook was the first of the unibodies from 2008 and that works fine. But I guess I should have gone with the hi res glossy. So are there any solid screen protectors available or am I going to have to see about returning this computer. :|

Why don't you instead just use a piece of rounded edge glass in the rare times when your doing that?
Your one of the very few that has to actually draw on their screen, most use a drawing pad Walcom tablet, iPad or import a scan or image into Adobe Illustrator rather than hold their hand up to the screen for hours.
Don't you know you can command shift 3 or 4 to snapshot a image of anything on the screen? SnapZ Pro X will record video?
Seems to me your doing things the wrong way.
The anti-glare MacBook Pro is awesome when you take it to various places and can still see the screen and can't adust the enviroment to suit.

I have a macbook pro 15" can i swap out the screen for an anti glare one?

I have a mac book pro 15" I need to use it outside. Is it possible to purchase a new anti glare screen or is there an overlay that works? I bought an anti-glare screen cover that is one you stick on and it didn't work at all.

Anything is doable, but I think it'd cost more to swap the screen out than it would to find a machine that has one and sell yours. If I remember right, the resolution is higher on the non-glare, so your video circuit would have to support that as well.
I have the non -glare version and love it, but it's still not a good outdoors machine.

Changing iBook display for external monitor

does anyone know how to change the screen resolution past 1024x768 on an iBook G4 12 inch? I'd like to set it at 1280x1064 on my 19 inch monitor, but its not an option in the displays preference page. Does anyone know a way around this?

There are a few ways the display resolutions and/or settings can be
changed; you can use custom controls offered by some applications
and there also are unsupported "hacks" that can add features or
resolutions not originally intended by Apple for certain models.
So, since some choices (if failure results) may void your warranty,
some people are reluctant to use an unsupported feature hack.
That said, one of the better sites with a product that seems to be
well crafted (which I have not tried) is SwitchRes X
Another less polished and maybe more on the edge (?) is one that
adds the ability to expand the desktop between two displays and
not just mirror; such as the PowerBook supports. That may work,
or it may not. Some hacks may be bad on the video card.
Extended Desktop
With the second display attached to the iBook, you may be able
to use one of these utilities listed to add features and resolutions.

Changing Colour Display for Temperature Distribution

Hi everyone,
I am currently involved in reading a series of temperatures along a length of pipe as part of an experiment. I thought it would be a nice touch for my VI to have a diagram of the pipe which changes colour to show the temperature distribution along it.
I have attached my initial solution. I would have posted a VI snippet but this seemed to effect the my references in the property nodes.
Issues
The code 'works' in the sense that the foreground colour of each tab control will change based on the value of the corresponding temperature.
The solution does not scale well. I need 'n-1' case structures for 'n' colours/temperatures. I considered using an enum input to a single case structure, but was not sure how to compare this to the for loop index.
Unsure whether changing a tab control background is the most efficient way to do this. Not sure of an alternative.
I am looking for suggestions as to how to do this more efficiently as there will be up to 16 temperatures in the final system.
Many thanks in advance,
Pete
Regards,
Peter D

Tabs are probably the weirdest choice here. Why not use e.g. a simple colorbox or button?
In any case, try to learn about autoindexing, it will dramatically simplify your code (see attached in yellow box).
I probably would use an array of clusters, each containing a colorbox and a numeric with transparent background. Modify as needed. (see attached in green box).
Of course you probably would want to make it a it prettier than my draft.
For a larger ramp, I would use a plain array of flat colorboxes. Now simply index into a color ramp to generate it according to your temperatures.

Maverick changed alternate display for keynote, works in powerpoint?

My alternate display (projector) does not show the presentation, it ends up on top of the presenters information.
How do I get my computer to move the presentation back over to where it belongs.
It only happened when I first used Mavericks? and I know Pro Presenter 5.0 warned everyone not to move to Mavericks because of a presenter issue until they could get it figured out. But I am not reading about very many others having any kind of similar issue!

Hi,
I just bought a Keyspan (PR-US2) presentation remote.
I have used it a few times and found it to be reliable and easy to use. It meets your request to be "small" and it contains a laser pointer.
Works with both Mac and Windows based computers.

Can apple please change the plug for macbooks back to the fatter one? The skinny one is way too hard to unplug.

I recently had to replace my power adapter for my Macbook Pro, and the shape of the plug that goes into the wall socket on the new one is ridiculously skinny. It is always hard to plug it out and I end up having to get my fingers way too close to the socket holes to get it out. Apple should really have tested this for its usability.
I'm not sure how many people have this problem, but it is really annoying and quite dangerous.

Issue with the display on MBP 15" with anti-glare screen

Hi Everyone,
my MBP 15" is only 7 months old, so I need to dig the warranty info out.
However, I am curious to know whether anyone else has experienced a similar issue with their screen. Mine has developed a series of small shadows at the bottom of the screen, it almost looks like a theatre stage!!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Many people have. It's a fault in the display backlight. Have it repaired while your machine is still under warranty.

Display Option: "anti-glare" or real matte display?

I just learned about the new option for an "anti-glare" display on 15" MBP. Haven't yet seen one with this option.
Is the option actually a different display, like the matte displays of previous MBP generations - or - a glossy display with some kind of anti-glare feature added to it?
TIA

Seriously, I don't understand the post about the silver-bezel being ugly. First off, as important as aesthetics are, in the price range of the Macbook Pros, functionality should come first. Plus, all Apple's computers are of the highest build quality. Secondly, the pictures online do the silver-bezel no justice. I just bought a 15" 2.8 anti-glare Macbook Pro this Saturday, and let me tell you, it rocks! And honestly, I can say I like the silver-bezel more. It matches the body nicely, and looks very, very professional.
The color is amazing on these anti-glare screens. I have used nothing but anti-glare screens in the past, and this one is that much better. Seriously! I think the fact that it is also a LED LCD helps tremendously. The colors are rich and vibrant. They just don't "pop" like the glossy screens. It's much more realistic as well, in the comparisons I did at the Apple Store.
Whatever you do, don't get too sucked into the "cool" factor, or what everyone else has. Most people have the glossy screens because:
a) They weren't available for the 15" models until August.
AND
b) The 13" (the most popular Macbook Pro) doesn't have the option.
So of course, most will tell you it looks better, it is better, yada, yada, yada. Some probably really do like them a lot, and others probably have no idea or are just commenting on what they have. If you check the two out side-by-side, I doubt you will still think that the anti-glare is ugly, nor inferior.
And, the anti-glare is actually usable at dimmed settings, which will help you take advantage of battery life! Seriously, if you get the glossy be prepared to have the lighting at almost full with every use. Unless of course, you enjoy gazing at yourself while computing.
Either computer will serve you well, I'm sure. I am new to Macs, and thoroughly impressed! As I said before, this computer rocks!

Great displays for Mac Pro 8 core (2010)

Im using a Samsung one right now and its 1080p but even when i watch 1080p movies on the display the lines and colors are blocky and i cant fix this. So i was thinking maybe if i bought an older apple display like the Cinema display that this would be a better fit. Im not in video editing or anything I just want a good quality display to show the full potential of the computer.
Thanks for your time

Goodredroad,
The fact is that there is no such thing as a "retina" display.
You have an Apple Macbook Pro with a 2560x1600 display. Probably a 15" Macbook Pro with a 2560x1600 display.
If you calculate that display resolution (in PPI, or pixels per inch), a 2560x1600 15" display is 201.26ppi (with a 0.126mm dot pitch).
What this means is that you have over 200+ pixels per inch (PPI). Which is a nice/decent display, with very high pixel density. Many phones right now are over 300ppi (pixels per inch) with extremely low dot pitch numbers. They are extremely high resolution displays (with very high pixel density). This is what gives you the "clarity" and why a high-resolution display (in a very small screen size, with extremely high pixel density gives you such clarity).
Now you are complaining about "poor resolution" on your Samsung display (using an extremely old craptastic 3-4 year old Radeon 5000 series graphics card) which is laughable (at best).
The Samsung monitor that you mentioned is a 24" monitor (anytime you increase the size of the monitor, and use the same, or lower resolution, you are going to have FAR LESS pixels per inch). So yes, of course if you look at a display with 200+ pixels per inch, and then compare it to a display that gets nearly HALF of that resolution (pixels per inch) that large display is going to seem "grainy" or "poor resolution".
That 24" display should have at least 3840x2160p (4K2K) resolution, just to get 183ppi (and 0.1384mm dot pitch) which would still be lower resolution (lower pixel density) than your 15" display.
You would actually need a 5760x3240p 32" display (which is half-way between 4K2K and 8K4K), and that would give you a 206.52ppi (and 0.123mm dot pitch) resolution, which would be comparable to what you are seeing on your 15" 2560x1600 "retina" display.
Yes, small little touchscreen cell phones (and now small laptop displays) are using high resolution displays (with much greater pixel density) and it does give you a much clearer picture.
Large monitor displays have not caught up, and most large monitors (24" and larger) should be in the 8K4K (7680x4320p) display resolution range right now. Unfortunately, most are extremely low resolution (1920x1080p) which is more like a low-resolution TV (HDTV) display, and not really a high-resolution "retina" display (with a high pixel density).
If you stand back about 15 feet, from the 24" display, then yes it would look similar to your retina display (because you couldn't see the poor resolution up close), but since you are sitting in front of the 24" display, and are using a high-resolution (200+ppi monitor display as your reference display) it's extremely easy to see why your 24" display "looks like crap".
It has nothing to do with "1080p" because your retina display is not 1080p (it's actually 2560x1600p), so it's actually 1600p (on a small 15" screen) and you're trying to ask why a large 24" 1080p screen is much lower picture quality than a small 15" 1600p display?
Well the simple and correct answer is that your pixel density is much greater on a small 15" retina display (2560x1600p screen resolution on a 15" display gives you 201.26ppi and 0.1262mm dot pitch resolution).
The 24" Samsung (or any 1920x1080p display for that matter) is a lower-resolution display (it is only 1920x1080p) and it is also a much larger screen size (which means the pixels are spaced out much farther apart). So the large 24" Samsung (at 1920x1080p screen resolution on a 24" display gives you 91.79ppi and 0.2767mm dot pitch).
What that means is that your 24" Samsung monitor is HALF of the resolution (pixel density) as your 15" 2560x1600 display.
The pixels are spaced out twice as far, and the pixel density is HALF of what your high resolution 15" MacBook Pro is. So of course you are going to notice a very poor quality resolution (if you are comparing it to your retinan display on your Mac). It would almost be like comparing a 540p display (analog) to a 1080p (HDTV) display at the same size. You would notice a tremendous difference in picture quality and clarity.
So no, the two are not even close to being similar. You would need a 32" UHDTV with 8K4K (7680x4320) display resolution, and yes that would give you great picture clarity (with a high pixel density) and you would notice that it would look similar/identical to your 15" display in picture quality.
But comparing a 1920x1080p 24" Samsung against a 15" 2560x1600p display is laughable, if you are trying to compare the picture quality (PPI and dot pitch) between the two (which is what visual resolution to the naked eye is).
The closer the pixels are together, the "better" the picture looks. That is why Apple is calling it a "retina" display. There is nothing "retina" about it, it is simply just a higher screen resolution (2560x1600p) on a smaller display (15" display) thus giving you a much higher pixel density (and much higher dot pitch) and thus giving you a much higher visual quality/clarity (then what you are used to).
So yes, if you compare it to a large 24" 1920x1080p display, you'll always be dissatisfied with the larger display. If you want better picture quality, then get a Radeon HD 7970 graphics card (capable of 4K2K screen resolution) and then get a 4K2K monitor (such as a 30" 5120x3200p monitor) and you would have the exact same picture quality as on your 15" retina display.
3840x2400p at 22.5" Display would give you a similar pixel density (201.26ppi / 0.1262mm dot pitch) as your 15" 2560x1600p display.
So if you want the same quality resolution, on your desktop computer, then just buy a 22.5" display with 4K2K (3840x2160p display resolution) and that will give you the same exact picture clarity and quality (201.26ppi and 0.1262mm dot pitch) that your Apple Macbook Pro "retina" (2560x1600p) display has.
You'll also need a high-end graphics card (like a Radeon HD 7970) so that you can display the higher resolution (4K2K resolution).

The files you are watching are being watched on a much smaller display (with a much higher pixel density display) so of course you are going to notice a drastic difference in picture quality.
It would be similar to watching a 540p movie on a 92" television and complaining that a 32" 1080p television "looked better" than the 92" 540p television.
Same concept.

Glossy vs. Anti-glare: Is it worth $700?

Debating between the:
13-inch : 2.53GHz - $1,399.00
15-inch : 2.8GHz (anti-glare option) - $2,099.00
I would just go ahead and get the 13 inch, but I'm worried about the glossy screen. I've read that some people get headaches (which I have a problem with) or get distracted because the screen is so reflective (a pet-peeve of mine). Because of this, I am considering spending $700 more for the 15-inch with the anti-glare option. Is it worth it?
And will the 13-inch model ever come out with an anti-glare option?
Also, do the anti-glare screen films really work?
Personal experience is appreciated.
Thank you!

Any 15" MBP can have the anti-glare option added for $50.00. At least on the Apple store.
The difference between the two is striking in my opinion. I in fact waited over two years before upgrading to a new MBP because this option was no longer available. All of my Apple laptops have had Matte screens, and that is the way a laptop screen should look. At least if you ever plan to use it outside, in front of any light source or for any kind of photo or video editing. ;o)
These after-market "films" you stick over a glossy screen are not the same as the real thing.
The other difference is color accuracy. If you want a color accurate display, then get the Matte screen (Anti-glare). The reflection problem on the glossy is ridiculous as well, so when you add color accuracy and reflection free viewing to the equation, it is easily worth the difference.
The best way to make this decision for yourself is to pay a visit to an Apple store and compare the two side by side. If you think the glossy screen looks better, then buy it! ;o)
I seriously doubt that anyone who makes this comparison would choose that route however. The glossy screen was basically designed to appeal to "Consumers". The Matte screen was brought back because of the demand by the professional user community who NEED a color accurate display for photo and video editing.

Anti glare/scratch screen protector Ipad Mini 2 - Not compromising clarity

I'm looking for an anti glare/anti-scratch screen protector for the ipad mini 2 retina. I know Zagg has an awesome one however the clarity is greatly compromised at only 86% clarity. Is there a screen protector that has great clarity along with anti scratch and anti glare, or at the very least minimized the glare from outside or inside lighting.

Hi. I'm in the market for one too. I've always used power support and they're very good albeit expensive at £30 a pop. I've looked at the Zagg but there have been some not so great reviews. So my advice is go power support, the HD anti glare one is very good but if you don't want to dull the display and it does make a difference then go for the crystal clear. Hope that helps

What gives the best contrast and sharpness in text and reading documents on macbook pro with Hi-res screen, glossy or anti glare ?

HI,
I consider buying a MacBook pro 15 with hi-res screen.
My primary use is text editing and document reading (primarily Word).
I want as good as possible "clearness" or is it called contrast, leat blurry looking text.
Anyone who has any experience and/or opinion on this.
Thanks for your answer.
Terje

If I were you, I would opt for the high-res/anti-glare option - it's only $100US now: back when I purchased my MBP in March of 2012, it was a $250 option which I just couldn't afford. Now, looking at the new models side-by-side, I wish that I had ponyed up the $250 for the HR/AG option.
I'm certain that you won't regret it - the people that have the option seem to be tickled pink with it. These days I'm using a (glossy) 17" Apple Thunderbolt Display 90% of the time in a semi-dark room. But I find that my MBP with the glossy screen is simply unusable when outdoors or in bright backlighting.
Go for it...

Eye Strain from Macbook Pro (2012) Anti-Glare?

Hi everyone,
I am thinking about buying my mother a macbook pro. She has been using macbook (2007) until today, so it will be a great gift.
Her eyes are not that good and can get motion sick easily (if that matters...), so I would like to know if any one had noticed eye strains, headach, etc from anti-glare version of macbook pro. I heard regular and glossy displays have possibility of causing such symptoms so those are out of options. So anti-glare or retina? Retina version is more than what she needs but I heard retina display could be better than anti-glare for someone. I am willing to pay retina version if anti-glare display causes eye strains while retina display does not. I would like to hear some experiences, thoughts, and advices. Taking her to store and test those displays would be best, but I would like to avoid it, since I want this to be a surprise gift. However, If I had to take her to store, how should I test which display is good for her?
Thank you very much!

I can only tell you my experience after having used the anti-glare screen for over 5 years. I can sit in front of my laptop for hours without any adverse effects. I passed on the retina Macbook Pro because it seems like an abomination not to offer such a beautiful screen in anti-glare format. The retina is less glossy than the regular screen, but nowhere close to the anti-glare in comfort (for me, at least).
I would check with her doctor, too. It may actually be that a screen with a smaller native resolution is better for her.

Change my display for a matte or anti-glare one
