Display has areas that are dim or darker in color slightly

Has anyone else had this issue where a small area of the screen is slightly dimmed or slightly darker than the rest? It seems more pronounced after the screen has been "on" for a few minutes. It is more noticable the further my eyes are from the display, but at 2-2.5 feet I notice it enough to bother me.

Update: turned out to be the screen and the video driver.

  • An area at the center of the screen on my MBP remains light even when the display has gone to sleep. Should I be concerned?

    I've just noticed that there's a roundish area at the center of my screen that never goes fully dark. If I turn the screen brightness right down, it's still bright, and if the display goes to sleep there remains a faint bright patch (If I put the computer to sleep the screen is completely dark).
    Should I be concerned about this?
    Thanks!

    Boot from your install disc and test. If it still does it, you have a hardware issue. Contact Apple and get it serviced if you are still in warranty.

    I am having iPOD classic 80GB . I Have the 10.5Latest Version of iTunes installed. When I go for Sync.It tells me to restore to factory settings as it is unable to read the contents. On restoring it tells : unable to restore as this has files that are in use by another application. I have no idea what to do now. Pl advise. Thanks

    Try disabling any and all A/V or security software you are running on your system and see if that helps.

  • Just updated I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting Is that something that takes a long time or does it mean something didn't work

    Just updated my I pad 2 and some of my apps are dim and say waiting. Is this something that takes a long time or could something be wrong?

    That means they are in the queue to be updated.
    If everything is working it will depend on the speed of your wifi connection as to how long it takes.

  • Swf playing layers that are dimmed out.

    I have been trying to save out an animation in swf.  However for some reason it's playing animations layers that been dimmed out( Which I  didn't want to include in the save swf.)
    I'm not sure what's going on.  I just want the layer "Walk_forward" to animate in the swf and not both "Walk_forward" layer and "Walk_in_place" I could just delete the one layer, but I would like to save them in the same file.
    Any ideas?  Thanks

    Right click on the title area of the layer you do not want in the animation and choose "Guide"  It will still appear on the timeline for you to be able to use as a guide/reference, but will not appear in the published file.

    The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

    My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.

  • Why are my images darker on a mobile device?

    Ok so here's a weird question. When I edit my images in PSE12, they look flawless on my computer. They even still look great on Facebook on my computer. When I view my images on my Android phone, even on Facebook, the images are darker, the colors are what I can best describe as violent. My customers say that the images are still great on disc. What my question is, how can I make the images look better on my Android phone and would my customers see the same awful colors on their devices or would they look like they do on a computer? I've tried resizing the images, readjusting, converting to sRGB, you name it. HELP PLEASE!!! Lol. I just want a fair and true representation of my work on mobile devices as they are on PC. Forgot to add that even when I just transfer the images via USB to my device, they're still dark.

    I don't know if this applies, but:

  • HT201302 The laptop I was using to upload photos from my iphone is no longer good and I want to use my desktop instead but it is displaying an error that the iphone has no photos in it. How do I start using my desktop to upload my photos from my iphone5?

    The laptop I was using to upload photos from my iphone is no longer good and I want to use my desktop instead but it is displaying an error that the iphone has no photos in it. How do I start using my desktop to upload my photos from my iphone5, is there any software I need to download?

    Photos on the phone in the DCIM folder are those located in the camera roll. Photos that are synced to the phone from the computer cannot be accessed in this manner. They are synced and the only way to manage them is to connect the phone, go to the photos tab and un-select the folders you want to remove or go into the folder photos are located in and remove the photos you no longer want to sync. Then sync the phone and the photos will be removed.

  • Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are much too dark now and the colour is not right. Any fix available? I did a backup prior to the new installs.

    Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are now too dark and the colour is way off from the originals. Any suggestions to correct this mess. I did a backup prior to installing Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.

    Check the monitor settings in the System/Displays/Color preference pane.  You may have to change the color profile used or calibrate the monitor. 
    Also check the System/Accessibility preference pane to see if the Increase contrast checkbox is checked. If it is check it and see if there's any improvement.
