  • Powerbook with Syntax Olevia 23-inch LCD TV Monitor

    Hi there,
    I got a 23-inch LCD TV Monitor from Syntax Olevia and somehow it doenst work with my powerbook.
    The thing is when I connected it to my windows laptop, it worked just fine, I should say perfectly instead. Then I tried it on my Powerbook 12-inch, the Mac recognized the display, there was a VGA display on but when I turned the display on, it says 'NO PC SIGNAL'. You know, I'm ****** !
    I have been on the phone with Syntax Tech Support for an hour, then with Apple for another hour, they suggested me to do everything try to get it works, everything they could find, everything within thier knownledge.... COULDNT CHANGE ANYTHING!
    So the last thing the Apple guy suggested me is post a topic question here, to see what everyone says and if somebody out there has got the same problem, please do reply so, even you got it worked or not, just reply so I can have some experience. It might be compatibility problem but I don't know, not with a monitor I would say.
    So here the LCD name and brand:
    - Olevia 23-inch LT23HVX by Syntax.
    I would appreciate for any answer, I'm looking forward to it.
    Thanks all

    Hi,
    I'm not familiar with that monitor, but its resolution might be higher than your PowerBook can handle. I have a first-generation 12-inch PowerBook, and it seems that it can't run any of the Apple Studio monitors currently being sold. If that monitor can display a resolution of 1024 x 768, try that, as your PowerBook can certainly handle that resolution. Another thing to try is to see if you can find a friend or coworker who has a similar PowerBook (or any other Mac), so you can try connecting the monitor to that machine to see if there is a similar problem. If no Mac can drive it, you would probably have a good excuse for returning the monitor.
    Hope this helps,

  • Connecting my Powerbook to Sony LCD

    Hey guys, what do I need to plug my labtop into my sony lcd hdtv in order to watch movies?

    Hello,
    Depends on what input methods your Sony LCD accepts.
    The easiest would be DVI to DVI or DVI to VGA. If you use VGA then your need the adapter from DVI to VGA which came with the PowerBook. If your Sony LCD support S-Video you could use that.  I personally use S-Video to my HDTV however it has the input via SCART to S-Video.
    The maximum external display resolutions is 2048x1536.
    just checked my sony and i did see an svideo port so im all good then right?  do you have a link of exactly what i need?

  • Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

  • Dell SW198FWP 19" LCD Calibration Issues

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a 19" Dell Widescreen LCD Monitor (SE198WFP)and I'm not very happy with the display quality. When first hooked up, it's very bright and the image is very washed out. When I use the Apple calibrate utility, I can make the display quality good, but on the first step of the utility, it says to make the oval just barely visible, but the adjustments do not change the intensity of the oval. The other calibration settings do change the display and make it better, but still not as nice as it looks when connected to my Windows PC.
    On my old display, LG 17" (not widescreen, 1780U), when I would use the Apple calibration utility, the oval intensity would change with adjustments. Overall, the LG has a better display quality, but it's small and the fonts are a little more fuzzy than the new widescreen Dell.
    Both LCD monitors were (are) connected using DVI, not VGA. Does anyone know what is happening?
    Thanks for any help.

    Those first steps outlined in Apple's calibration procedure are generic and cannot be trusted to apply equally to all monitors. For example, it says to set contrast to its highest setting on the monitor, but that's not always the case that that would be the correct setting for a given monitor. I believe your Dell is recommended to default at a contrast setting of 75. So I would use that instead. Or maybe experiment and try different settings around 75, either plus or minus, and see if that helps.
    I think it's more important to try and get the left and right halves of the square containing the oval to be as indistinguishable from one another as possible, more so than trying to get the oval to disappear, which I couldn't get my monitor to do either, for what it's worth. Good luck.

  • Connect my powerbook with a Windows computer/network

    Hello!
    I must to connect my Powerbook G3 with a windows computer or network. Ho can I do?
    Thank you very much,

    If your PowerBook has Mac OS 9.1, you can't do it without additional (non-Apple) software. While Mac OS X has built-in Windows networking, Mac OS 9 does not.
    This product allows Windows networking under Mac OS 9.

  • Gradient banding in Samsung 20 inch LCD

    Now idk where to begin, ok here's the best info i can give
    I just assembled a new pc for graphic work/budget gaming 2 days ago:
    intel core i3 530 mhz
    2 gb ddr3 ram 1333 mhz
    xfx nvidia geforce gt 240 1gb ddr5
    windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
    Samsung Myst Eco B2030 widescreen 20 inch lcd monitor
    Now when i opened an old psd which contained some brushing and gradients, i could see bands in the gradients, even the wallpaper i put had bands on it. I even noticed that everything on my lcd looks hellish sharp, and when i force my head really close, i can see small square pixels all over the l cd. Is it due to the analogue output(VGA)?, should i switch to DVI?
    I use 1600x900 res (native) at 32 bit
    Then to test whether all gradients look the same, i opened a new ps document and made a black to white gradient, but it was smooth, there were no bands in there. But when i made a simple white box, applied full gaussian blur, and zoomed in around 2000% i could see the gradual bands again though not as bad as in the colored psd. It seems the problem only happens when i give a glow, or blurs. Then i played Splinter Cell Conviction (everything Maxed out) and again  i could see gradient bands forming up in dark places, like when i die and a small cutscene is played, i could see gradient bands on the 4 corners. What could be the problem, is it the card? the lcd? i am new to lcd monitors so i dont know how to calibrate or whatever.
    Please check if anyone else can see the bands on their lcd?

    Regarding calibrating your display, it's not strictly necessary, but you did mention "oversaturation" in a post above.  It's certainly your call whether you want to make your color-managed applications put out calibrated color.
    Re switching to DVI, that's falling out of favor...  How are you currently cabled to your monitor?  HDMI?  VGA?  You've mentioned both.  DVI would CERTAINLY be better than VGA.
    This "Coarse effect" you speak of...  Are you talking about jaggy fonts, or what?  If so, do you have Font Smoothing enabled?
    When I first switched from CRTs to LCDs (in 2004) I marveled that most graphics created by people using CRTs were actually butt ugly, simply because they could not see the actual image content very clearly and tended to overlook things and overcompensate for their own monitors' shortcomings.
    On a good LCD using a good interface (DVI or better) you can see every pixel as a discreet element.  That's a given.
    After my switch from CRT to LCD I had to reset my perceptions - I had thoughts just like yours!  After a while you start to realize that what may look oversharp and harsh to you may even still be too subtle for CRT users.  For some time there's been a mix of CRTs and LCDs in the world, though honestly lately I've started to ignore the former as they are truly a dying breed (just try to buy a new CRT monitor nowadays).  It is not wrong to concentrate solely on making graphics look good on ultra sharp LCD monitors.  Don't be too hard on yourself for what you've produced in the past, when you couldn't "see clearly" yet. 
    That said, I should note that there are some LCDs that are not sharp at all.  From time to time people post on this forum that they have trouble seeing the Photoshop UI elements at their fixed small size, and as you're no doubt aware now with your monitor there's really no problem seeing them on a very sharp display.
    You could try taking a macro photo of what you're seeing on your display that you don't like.  Other than that it's very difficult to communicate about such issues on a forum.

  • MacBook to 47 inch LCD Television

    I am trying to figure a way to take what is playing (movie)on my MacBook and display it in high quality on my 47 inch LCD TV. I have the AppleTV, but can't around the syncing issue (port error) and want to figure out a way through cables to display a high quality from lets say iTunes when renting and playing a movie. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I think the picture is really pretty good. the resolution is good enough that I can easily read NYTimes sized print on my 42 inch plasma.
    When I play a video file, it's about as good as standard def or maybe vhs. not great, but i'm not expecting blu-ray quality.

  • TS3775 can i connect my ps3 to imac 27 inch

    Is it possible to connect a PS3 to the 27 inch imac computer?

    I'm also looking for the same thing, the PS3 has a HDCP in the HDMI that prefents any normal capture card to work in full 1080p HD. A couple of my friends have a HDCP stripper but i feel that almost if not illegal.  One way I saw on Youtube awhile back was a guy using a HDMI Splitter from one male to two female and ran one into his pc and the other into his TV. I then decided to order myself one to see if it actually works, Im suppose to get the package within a couple of days but ill let you know if it actually works, also here is the youtube video that I watched that gave me the idea, hope this helps!  (if you find out a quality way to record gameplay and cheap please let me know as well im still trying to find a way how)  Youtube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo0DL2itV3w
