Display not showing same color/contrast at top of screen as at bottom.

I just got the new Al and Glass 2.4 Ghz imac and my wife noticed that the colors at the top of the screen were deeper and showed more contrast. The same colors at the bottom of the display looked washed out. This is unaffected by viewing angle and tilt of the monitor. I have recalibrated my monitor and tried changing the resolution but the problem was not resolved. Does any one have any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

As a long time Mac user, I recently bought the new glossy iMac. Having lived with the new imac for the last week and now just cant bear to look at it due to the screen colour difference from top to bottom and like the pervious reply, it seems I have no option but to spend more money for the 24" and then end up with something that is too big for my desk and didt want in the first place, but it may be my ONLY option. It is totally useless for any kind of photography use, which was one of the main reasons why I went for it - oh and yes, I have done gamma and colour calibration
That said, when I called Apple there was no dispute and they immediately said that it would be replaced. So I am awaiting delivery of the replacement unit, not that I really expect it to be any better, but I am willing to give it a try at least. If that fails, then I will have to look into the possibilities of getting the 24" one.
If I had not already pre-sold my eMac, I would gladly have it back and forget that whole iMac thing ... I am just SO disappionted.

  • Browsers not showing same color from DW

    Folks, I have somelinks I am designing in photoshop and
    placing in a table in DW. I made the background color of the table
    the same as the grey in my link graphic by sampling the color with
    the eye dropper on the graphic.
    The greys from the table background and the link show up fine
    in Safari, as hough there is no separation in color, however in
    Internet Explorer and Firefox there is clearly a separation of
    color.
    I am on a Mac using OS X if this makes any difference.
    I need help.

    That's not what web safe colors means today, and in any even
    different
    monitors will show your colors somewhat differently.

  • I just updated to 10.9.2 and now my MacBook pro display is showing pixilated color ribbons all over my screen. What is going on??

    I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.9.2 and now I have pixilated bands of color running along shaded and bright areas of my display screen and graphics. I can not explain it any better than that. How can I fix this problem or should I go back to 10.9.1???

    Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    Can you take a screenshot of the screen problem (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4391). If the screenshot looks normal, then you've probably a problem with the screen and not the GPU. If the screenshot shows the anomalies, then the problem is probably the GPU.

  • JColorChooser : "Swatches"-tab's recent-panel not showing recent color

    Hello all,
    in JColorChooser on "Swatches" tab we have one panel named "recent" and another
    named "Preview".
    Problem 1.
    After i close my Color-chooser-dialog and reopen again , Preview-panel shows
    the last selected ie recently selected color BUT recent-panel not showing any color.
    Although on other Tab like "RGB" i am getting the selected color's RGB values .
    Below is the code-snippet , Am I doing anything wrong ?
    Problem 2.
    This problem is not consistent. What happens that whatever RGB values i set,
    next time when i open the chooser , Red-value gets educed by 1 !!!
    /// code snippet
    Color defaultForeground = conFont.getForeground(); /// this gives last selected color
    Color newColor = JColorChooser.showDialog(GSCommonUtility.getAMStudioFrame(),CommonToolProperties.bundle_ToolProperties.getString("ComContributionsAdapter_ChooseForeground"),defaultForeground);
    Can someone please through some light on these 2 problems?
    thanx n regds,

    I'm having the same problem with the default color chooser. Whenever it is closed it seems to lose all of the recent colors information. If you figure it out please let me know!!

  • PSD file on mac, opened on PC not the same colors??

    my PSD file has a specific color i need, PMS 300 in my logo. So on my MAC i make it. When someone at my work opens the PSD file on a PC, it is not the same color. why arent the colors the same?? even when i save it as a PDF, if someone on a pc opens it at my work. its a different shade of blue.

    Windows based PCs are sRGB by default. Many apps are not even color managed and can't display images tagged with other profiles correctly.
    Photoshop and Bridge are color managed, but what are they using to view your files?
    Add to that users who are not educated in color management and you have a problem.
    Those who target their files for commercial printing use Adobe RGB, a much larger gamut that will look desaturated in an sRGB environment like Windows.
    So either they get a viewer that can read these tags, or you will have to send them a copy of the file converted to sRGB.
    This can be found in Photoshop's Edit menu.
    Edit > Convert to Profile... if your image is already tagged as Adobe rgb
    You can still keep your Adobe RGB tagged files for print, but you have to explain that to your Windows users.
    It's not the best answer, but might hold until all PCs are on the same page and your co-workers educated.

  • Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

    Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
    does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Simpli Home Artisan : TV Stand and Coffee Table : Not the same color. HELP

    Hello,
    I ordered and received the Simpli Home Artisan TV Stand from the BestBuy website.  We got it a couple weeks ago, put it together and love it.
    We decided to order the matching Simpli Home Artisan Coffee table to go with it.  We just picked it up today and it is not the same color at the TV stand.
    Both item listed on the BestBuy website say they are "Medium auburn brown" in color, as do the boxes we recieved. However they are not the same color, the TV stand is much darker than the coffee table.
    TV Stand: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-tv-stand-for-most-flat-panel-tvs-up-to-54/1622137.p?...
    Coffe Table: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-collection-coffee-table/1860306.p?id=1219066204317&s...
    If you go to the Simpli Home manufacturer website you will see that Artisan collection comes in two different color tones, "Available in Auburn or Tobacco Brown".
    Simpli Home Website: http://www.simpli-home.com/#!wood---artisan-coffee-table/cuhk
    The TV stand we got is Tobacco Brown, and though the color does not match the pictures on BestBuy.com, we liked it and decided it was okay, but not if the coffee table doesn't match.
    I really don't care if I get Tobacco Brown or Medium Auburn, I just want them to match.  However since I've already assembled the TV Stand, I would like to return the coffee table and get one that is Tobacco brown.
    I posted this to the forum because I know if I call the store they won't have a clue what I am talking about.
    Please let me know what I should do, and help me if you can.
    Thank you

    Greetings rtb1980,
    I can definitely understand why you would choose both of those pieces of furniture as they look wonderful, but of course it would be a chronic annoyance if the furniture didn’t match. Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to take a look at your purchase history and the items on our site as well as the manufacturer’s.
    As we get all of our information about the products directly from the manufacturer, it would seem that you received the wrong color TV stand, and that you would have received the correct color for the coffee table. As these items are special ordered items, meaning the orders are not fulfilled directly by us, it is difficult to say where the mix up may have occurred with your TV stand, for which I am truly sorry.  
    That being said, it does not appear that we carry the coffee table in the tobacco brown color you are looking for. Sadly, this means we would be unable to provide you an exchange for the tobacco color, although you should be able to return the coffee table within the Return & Exchange Policy. However, we should be able to provide you with an exchange of your TV stand for the correct color to match the auburn colored coffee table you received; although, I understand that this may not be the ideal resolution, as it may have been the more complicated piece of furniture to put together.
    I apologize for any inconvenience this experience may have caused you. If you should have any questions, or need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
    Sincerely,
    Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • TS2755 imessages on mountain lion does not show same conversations as iPhone using same iCloud account

    Just got macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Have had an iphone for years and like using Messages as text client on the phone.  I have both iphone and macbook connecting to same Apple ID account, but all of the conversations I have on my iphone are not showing up on my macbook - isn't this supposed to work?

    You should check the iMessage settings on both your devices. Make sure you have identical receive addresses on both. That way you get iMessages sent to your phone number and email (if you use that) delivered to both. For example, if you have a "receive email" on yourMac and iPhone and you don't have your "receive phone number" set on your Mac, then iMessages sent to your email from another person will appear on both devices and iMessages sent to your phone number will only appear on your iPhone.

  • XL Reporter Amount not Showing same value in JDT1

    Dear Expert,
    The client currently have a report in Balance Sheet XL Report but the amount shown is not the same as the amount in SAP Account Balance.
    Example:
    Per JDT1  (based on the query generator)
                          Summary of Debits = 12,450,250.07
                          Summary of Credits = 12,450,250.07
                          Total Amount    = -.01
    Per Account balance
                            Account balance = -.01
    Per XL Report (Amount)     = 0.16
    I tried to get the debit and credit in XL Reporter and give me the following result making the balance to .16
                        Debits = 12,450,250.23
                        Credit = 12,450,250.07
    SAP Version = 8.81 PL 08
    BAsed on this I think XL reporter is giving wrong amount.
    Is there anything that we can do to correct this?
    Regards,
    Sandra

    Hello
    Check the condition type configuration. in the calculation type give the indicator as B- Fixed amount
    the copy control seems to be correct.
    you can try above and revert
    hope this helps

  • U310 Display not showing the entire desktop black section on right side of the display??

    Normally this laptop has a monitor plugged into the HDMI port. One day during routine maintenance the laptop was unplugged from the HDMI port and ever since the display is not working. The entire desktop image is moved slightly down about a 1/4 of an inch and about an inch to the left leaving a 1 inch black unusable section of the display and moved the windows taskbar partially off the screen.
    I have tried re-installing the drivers - system restore. Nothing seems to work. Is this machien broken?

    Hi Telecotek,
    Thanks for the reply and sorry for delay in response.
    As you have mentioned that the issue still persists, hence try to boot the system in safe mode and check for the issue.
    Also try to uninstall the driver from the device manager and try to reinstall the driver and check for the issue.
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 7
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 8
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 8.1
    Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

  • Is there a way to set up multiple displays to show different DeskTops and/or multiple Full-Screen apps independently?

    Hello Apple users/ develpers.....
    I have been thinking about this long and hard and it seems like there should be some way to display separate Full-Screen Apps and/or mulitple Desktops.
    This would be a key feature that would make Lion surprisingly more efficient than any of its predicessors.  However, I have gone into System Preferences>Displays and could find no way to page through and get different desktops to display.  I always could extend the desktop, but why do that when I can simply use multiple Desktops and assign them to specific displays.
    (For example While on the MacBook Pro I could be doing a project in FinalCut while External Display 1 could be displaying iTunes and Display number 2 could be displaying MS Word.  And between each I can switch between each app without changing the monitor display.)
    I could also seeing this being extremely helpful in DJ and/or PowerPoint presentations.  In a PowerPoint presentation I could use the projector/display to show the individual Slides, while on the computer/laptop I could control other materials.
    Or in a DJ situation, I could be controlling iTunes from the computer, displaying a set of animations that I created in Flash/ToonBoom or another animation program, while still being able to work off of an independent display to do my homework or major project.
    The whole purpose of multiple displays would be to have multiple access to each of those.  And so if there's another APP I need to control them, or if there is a setup command I don't know about, I'd like to know right away.
    Also, if Apple hasn't really implimented this (and their OS is designed to have these features) then I guess this'd be my first recomendation to them as something that they need to fix.  This alone could be the key to crippling PC.  Don't let Windows 8 have a back door!

    Not available, why not suggest it here.
