Cinema 23" - is this normal/acceptable?

Hi,
with a black background, the backlight is "bleeding" from the bottom. (see the picture: http://axu2.dnsalias.com/~axu/cinema.jpg )
there is total of 7 green, red and blue stuck pixels - but only 3 of them are barely visible other than totally black backgroud.
i also have a Viewsonic 19" display - cheapest you can buy. There is nothing like this.. that's why i expected more from this Apple Cinema, which was the most expensive in its class.

i put one more picture here:
http://axu2.dnsalias.com/~axu/displays.jpg
- Rev A titanium PowerBook G4 400MHz (the furry one
- My new replaced Cinema 23"
- IBM Thinkpad T43 year 2005
All displays are set to highest brightness and the background is 100% black.
the CinemaDisplay costs 1400euros - about the same as the thinkpad laptop and look at that smooth illumination.. :o
I'm now waiting for answer from Apple technician. The support person told me on the phone that there have been some problems with the illumination before... sad that i got two faulty panels.

  • Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands.  I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command.  Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?

    No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

  • LED lights behave strangely.....is this normal?

    I just got a new laptop yesterday (G580, Pentium B960, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HD) and I've been noticing the following strange pattern in the LED lights (status indicators).
    1. When my laptop is off and I connect it to power, the power LED and the battery LED turn on, and they both keep blinking continuously in intervals of about 5 seconds. Is this normal?
    2. The power LED appears quite small when my laptop is off, but turns as big as the other LEDs when I push the power button to turn on my laptop.
    3. As soon as I turn on the laptop, the power LED grows as big as the other LEDs and stops blinking. Only the battery LED keeps blinking every 5 seconds.
    4. This blinking of the battery LED stops when my laptop is running on battery. So both the LEDs stop blinking when my laptop is running on battery.
    Is all this normal? Sorry if I sound naive, but I noticed no such things with my earlier Acer netbook so I'm a bit concerned...this is my second laptop. Because its new, I'm a bit sensitive about anything going wrong.
    Thanks for the help....

    Hi ylenovo,
    Thank you for posting and Welcome to Lenovo Community,
    Congratulations on your new Lenovo purchase,
    I’d like to confirm to you that when you connect the Charger and the battery is charging it will be blinking in Orange color within time about 5 seconds as you stated as this mean that the battery is connected and its charging,
    But I’d like to ask you about the power led if its blinking could you please make sure that the laptop is completely off and not in sleep mode or hibernated,
    And please share with us the color of the battery led which is blinking.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Soha

  • My new HP 6500 AIO is sometimes very noisy when discharging printed sheets. Is this normal?

    My new HP 6500 AIO is sometimes noisy when discharging printed sheets. Is this normal?

    Noisy how - as in paper being spit out quickly and hitting the stop on the output tray, or as in grinding or other loud mechanical noises?  The first would be normal, grinding would not.
    The troubleshooting page here may help, although I would skip steps 4 and 5.

  • Noisy power supply when running of UPS? Is this normal?

    Iv recently purchased a belkin 1500VA UPS, which in the near future i was looking to use on MAC Pro (once iv actually ordered and received it) The price was to good to miss, as it was currently on offer at misco and quite heavely reduced. So i went ahead thinking it would be a good idea to have for my G5 anyway. Everything setup a treat and the built OSX controls are fine but when the unit is on battery backup. Sleeping or in normal usage the actually G5's power supply makes a buzzing electrical sound from the power supply? I have read about this a little else-wear but no one has yet confirmed if this is normal/acceptable for a G5 to do this. Or the that the noise is the sign of a dodgy/faulty power supply.
    I am aware the UPS also makes a noise when running in backup mode. But the UPS and the tower are some distance apart so i can quite easily identify that the noise is coming from the G5.
    Any user experiences or advice on this would be much appreciate. I dont want to burn my power supply out. I still love my G5 very much. Cheers in advance for anyones assistance. Pob

    Thankyou everyone for all of your responces. I think we're getting to the bottom of things now. It would appear that when in battery back up mode my UPS is generating a square wave which my powermac is not liking at all. And the power supply is working to put this right. Weather the work the power supply is doing and the noise generated is a sign of harm to my computer is still some what unclear. But it does not seem like a good noise as it is not normal.
    It is also interesting that maclover has no problems using an APC smart ups that produces sine wave. So this points to square wave being the saurce of problems. Thankyou maclover for also pointing out that other very useful thread that concludes the smart ups range seems to be the way to go. Even tho a little more money i would prefer to have no noise! And be sure im not harming my Mac.
    Malcolm Rayfield - I am under the impression my UPS does no produce a sine wave. And you saying that the noise is the input filter sorting it out does make sense. I am going to contact Belking and Apple tomorrow and hopefully either way confirm that this noise is a bad thing or just something iv got to live with.
    DaddyPaycheck - My belkin model number is F6C1500EITW-RK. Quite a new model i think, dual form, 1500VA. Very pleased with all the features. This model does have AVR too (Automatic Voltage Regulation) But it would appear from what everyone has said along with some other findings about the web that this unit produces square wave! I guess yours is Sine wave hence you not having any problems.
    I will probably end up returning this unit and buying an APC SUA1500i. As its been confirmed in this thread and the other thread that was linked to as producing a nice sine wave which is what i want. Again thank you everyone. Pob

  • HT1363 Got iTunes 11.0.2 and iPod classic. ITunes no longer connects to iPod - wiped all contents and there is no way to re-connect - is this normal?

    Got iTunes 11.0.2 - as far as I know the latest version. My iPod classic no longer connects - gone through all on the "help" still won't work. There is nowhere with the word "device" and the iPod has now been wiped clean. Is this normal with the new version?

    You might want to try connecting to another computer with an older version of iTunes. If it connects, reformat it straight away just in case before adding your songs back in. Otherwise, you might want to seek for help at the official iTunes stores in your country. Chances are that the iPod might be corrupted, though iTunes being the problem can't be ruled out either.

  • Battery and Sleep issues. Is this "normal"?

    Hey guys, ever since day 1 My new MBP has been experiencing the sleep issue where in sleep the battery would lose about 1-2%/hour. I would go to sleep with the battery at 100%, and wake up to only about 87%. Also, when it was new the battery had about 4650 for full charge capacity, now its showing only 4540 after 10 cycles!!! Is this normal? Please help my MBP is less than 2 weeks old I have owned the previous MBP model, and the battery life during sleep was considerably better than this, and also it took less time to charge the battery!
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 3463
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4540
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 10
    Condition: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 881
    Voltage (mV): 12070
    *I have also just updated the upgrade to 10.5.6. Will update and report if this will help with the sleep/battery issue.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Please help - Brand new X1 Carbon defective out of the box - is this normal? what should I do next?

    Hello all,
    So, as a loyal Lenovo customer I decided to purchase the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (non-touch, I5 version).
    Last week I finally received it.
    Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was a defective touchpad - very loose, the right bottom corner was not solid
    enough and made a weird noise while clicking it. It drove me crazy since I am used to the top build quality the Thinkpad series offers.
    I took to the local Lenovo service center, they actually replaced it on the spot and it made it better, not great but better. I still think there is something wrong there, since the bottom two "buttons" don't feet and sound as good as the upper ones.
    But that I can tolarate.
    The thing that really pissed me off was this: To me demise, after using the laptop in a dark room I noticed this massive screen bleed :
    (apologize for the ling stream of pics, didn't know how to thumbnail them)
    My question to you guys, is this okay? is this an acceptable bleed? or should I do whatever it takes to get it repaired/replaced?
    I just hope they will know how to handle this here at local center, as from my experience dealing with computer reps here, the local Lenovo agent (which is actually the importer)  will not replace it for me (their excuse is that it wasn't bought in this country)
    This is amazing, in one year Lenovo has lost it's entire reputation over the 2nd Gen X1 carbon.
    Please help me. what should I do?
    Thank you very much.

    im running OSX 10.7.4

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Closing the device deletes what has been typed to that point. Is this normal?

    Closing the device deletes what has been typed as an e-mail up to that point. Is this normal, and can it be avoided?

    If the content you typed was actually saved before you quit the session, it should be there
    later on when you open it again. There may be some settings in preference to auto-save
    that may need checking; or perhaps there could be something else behind this issue...
    To be sure, which device do you refer?

  • Taking such a long time to open an app. Is this normal?

    I recently received my new Blackberry Classic (Verizon Wireless). I love my keyboard and how the email works. But this phone has such long delays while trying to do anything.
    I setup my office exchange account.
    When I open reminders and select my Tasks folder it takes 20 seconds to load. If I answer a phone call and come back to the reminders I need to wait another 20 seconds. Is this normal? Or is something wrong? Should I reset the phone?
    I appreciate any help or input I can get.

  • I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

    I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?
