Elements 10 gives warning with 23" Samsung LCD Monitor

Recently installed Elements 10. When starting Elements 10, get warning: The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. Please rerun you monitor calibraiton software. Elements 10 then gives the user the option of ignoring the profile or using it. Contacted Samsung, they said that they do not have a calibration program. The Samsung monitor is a SyncMaster 2343BMX. Has anyone run into this problem and if so how did they resolve the problem. Thanks.

Hi ghugh999,
If you're running Windows 7 you may want to try refreshing the ICM profile from within Windows itself.
This can be done by right clicking your desktop...
>screen resolution>advanced settings>colour management>colour management...>advanced(tab)>calibrate display
...and then following the steps in there.
Following it through to the end you'll have the option to overwrite your screen's ICM profile and this may work better with Elements.
Hope this helps.

Samsung lcd monitor

Can
anyone please help,
Since I got a new Samsung 2032BW LCD monitor (widescreen), I need to change the Pixel Aspect Ratio or else the place where I take my pics
cant print it. I need to open one photo in photoshop change the PAR to square and save it. This I have to do with all photo's!!!
Please help

Mirroring means exactly the same thing will be on each screen. They both must run at the same format to mirror one another.
If you turn mirroring off, then the two screens can be set independently to their optimum resolution.
As far as your second question goes, I'm not sure. Are you saying that even when in mirror mode the second screen goes blank? In that case, I guess that means the game is taking control of the settings and turning mirroring off to free up maximum amounts of VRAM for the game. It's probably best that is happening because the game would no doubt experience a graphics slow down with less video memory at its disposal.

Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 with intel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster933HD monitor. How would it look better with the hdmi-dvi connection or a built-in display adapter port-vga

Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 withintel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster 933HD monitor. How would it look better.... with the hdmi-dvi connection built in, buying a HDMI 1.3 cable and HDMI-making or buying an adapter hdmi display port - vga and connected through the port thunderbolt
Thanks

I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

Problems with two new LCD monitors and my G5 Power Mac

I bought two of these Westinghouse Digital LCD monitors:
http://www.macaddict.com/issues/2005/11/reviews/lcm
When I plugged in the first one, my Mac's power-on light was on, but the Power Mac G5 (1.6 ghz, 1.25 gb RAM) wouldn't boot and the light wouldn't go off. No problems once I unplugged the first LCD monitor. I plugged it into the second one and the Mac turned on once it was plugged in, but at least I had an image. But the computer was frozen; I unplugged and re-plugged it into the first LCD and had an image, but again, it was frozen.
Any ideas why this is happening? I'm going VGA into the DVI via Apple's adaptor.
Help and thanks,

Okay, well this is interesting. If I take the brightness down too much, I see "ghosting" on EVERYTHING, including text. Also, when I shut down the Mac with monitor 2 plugged in, the one that when I plug in the LCD it turns the Mac on, it restarts the computer. I did this twice to insure I wasn't just hitting restart by accident. I'm calling tech support Monday (Westinghouse) and I think I'm taking these "good on paper" 16x9 LCDs back to Best Buy for a full refund. Then, I'll buy something different. I'm bummed out...

21.3" Samsung LCD Monitor with my 15" Macbook PRo

Hi.. I have a 15" Macbook pro and I recently hooked iit up to a 1600 x 1200 resolution samsung monitor. I would like to use mirror display but it looks terrible because they both use the same resolutions. Is it possible to use the mirror display mode while having the proper resolutions for each monitor? Also.. is it possible for the secondary screen to not go blank when playing full screen games? thanks

Aclocal gives warning with my configure.ac, did something wrong?

I'm trying to use my first make file, and it's my first program with gtkmm....
But I think I'm doing something wrong. I made my configure.ac file, here it is:
AC_INIT(src/firstwindow.cpp)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(firstwindow,0.1)
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_CXX
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([MYAPP], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0])
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile)
But if I then run aclocal, it has a problem with the PKG_CHECK_MODULES line for the GTK.
It prints out:
aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/gtkgl.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GTKGL
/usr/share/aclocal/gtkgl.m4:4: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/gtkgl.m4:4: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
Am I not even supposed to use aclocal? Ive never used a make file before, so I was just trying to follow the instructions...

Update: Well, I uninstalled gtkglext, gtkglextmm, and gtkglarea and the warnings ceased, though I WOULD like to know why I'm having them and how to get rid of them for if I *need* said utilities.
But the program still won't compile.
So I think I'm just doing something wrong in general, forgetting something.
Here is my current configure.ac:
AC_INIT(src/firstwindow.cpp)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(firstwindow,0.1)
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_CXX
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([firstwindow], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0])
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile)
I am using this tutorial: http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/doc … nking.html
and it says:
To simplify compilation, we use pkg-config, which is present in all (properly installed) gtkmm installations. This program 'knows' what compiler switches are needed to compile programs that use gtkmm. The --cflags option causes pkg-config to output a list of include directories for the compiler to look in; the --libs option requests the list of libraries for the compiler to link with and the directories to find them in. Try running it from your shell-prompt to see the results on your system.
However, this is even simpler when using the PKG_CHECK_MODULES() macro in a standard configure.ac file with autoconf and automake. For instance:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([MYAPP], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0])
This checks for the presence of gtkmm and defines MYAPP_LIBS and MYAPP_CFLAGS for use in your Makefile.am files.
When they said MYAPP, I wasn't sure if they literally meant "MYAPP" or the name of my application, which is firstwindow. I tried the latter.
Now, are they say I need to put something in my Makefile.am as well?
I tried putting the lines firstwindow_LIBS and firstwindow_CFLAGS in there and it wouldn't even let me do make, just gave an error about separators.
So I think I'm just missing some general concept here.... could anyone enlighten me? Because I'm still not very familiar with make files...

Displays in System Preferences blank with new Samsung LCD

On my G4, which has an ATI Rage Pro 16 MB AGP card and an ATI Rage PCI card installed, I now get a blank displays control panel since connecting a new Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor to either card. The second monitor is a Gateway EV700. If I disconnect one monitor, I get the displays panel back, as soon as I reconnect and restart, it is blank again. I obviously cannot rearrange monitors, although I can change resolutions in my displays icon in the menu bar.
I purchased the AGP card and installed it after installing OS 10.3.9, although when I had an old Apple 720 monitor connected the displays panel worked fine. I have tried connecting the Samsung with both a DVI and a VGA cable (has both options) and nothing works to fix the problem.
Short of re-installing the OS, does anyone know a fix?
G4 500 MHz (AGP graphics) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks Grant.
I tried this as well, still no luck though, I still get a blank panel.
I took a chance and put the ATI Displays software on the machine, and still the displays panel is blank. The ATI cards still see the monitors and identify them correctly in the ATI control panel installed in system prefs.
At this point I think I just have to live with it, or try installing Tiger, which I have been contemplating. I am a little hesitant though as Tiger hogs a bit more ram and is a larger installation; plus the G4 is an old machine and other than this problem runs everything very well.

Cant Get Optimal Resolution with Lenovo L192 LCD Monitor after GeForce video driver upgrade

Hello,
I just upgraded my GeForce video drivers for the integrated GeForce 6100 video chipset in my Lenovo 3000 series desktop. My monitor is a Lenovo L192 LCD. It has been working fine but I decided to upgrade the video drivers. After installation and reboot, I can no longer get the optimal resolution of 1440 x 900 for this monitor. The highest resolution offered is 1360 x 768. I had this same problem the last time I upgraded the video drivers but somehow I manged or someone told me how to get the higher resolution. I reverted back to the old driver that was working fine and now I can't get the higher resolution with that driver either. I think I have the latest driver provided by Lenovo for the monitor.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could you fix it or does anyone else have a solution?

Why does my MacBook Pro 13 freeze with the samsung p2770 monitor?

My MacBook Pro 13 (late 2010) works fine, but when I use the Samsung P2770 external monitor through the DVI port is will suddenly freeze. The display goes black, the keyboard lights up, and only a hard reset will bring it back. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Try unplugging your charger from your MacBook. Weird bug but that fixed it for me... Kinda stupid though.

LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

Hi,
your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
cheers

Late 2009 Macbook aluminium Output to Samsung LCD (SyncMaster 710T) problem

Have bought a Mini-Display port to DVI cable for connecting macbook to the Samsung LCD monitor. Output is fine but if i left my desk (with macbook on), and when the Macbook goes to power saving mode or sleep...after i switch it back on, my lcd display flicker and fails. It too fails to get signal at times...am I experience a weird problem?
or there is in fact some fault with my macbook?
or my LCD problem?

Anyone encounters what I am experiencing now?
I noted that there is an update for the Mini-Display Port to VGA.
What about DVI??

Macpro with a Samsung Syncmaster 930B... Any Problems?

Greets,
I want to buy a macpro.
I will be using it with a samsung syncmaster 930b.
Anyone running the macpro with a samsung lcd? any problems?
Any input or information is appreciated.
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Samsung Syncmaster 930b will work just fine. I have exact the same screen on my Mac Mini. On my Mac Pro i do use now 2x a Samsung Syncmaster 206bw (20 inch) and those are also working perfect. All the Samsung screens will work fine on the Mac Pro.
Before i had my new 20 inch Samsung screens i used the 19 inch screen. Worked perfect.

Blank screen, Intel Mac mini, Samsung P23700 LCD monitor; HELP!?!

I just got a new 23" Samsung LCD monitor and hooked it up to an Intel Mac mini. Turning on the system results in a blank screen with the monitor simply displaying a dialog box that seems to show that it is trying to figure out if the incoming signal is digital or analog. This dialog box is on for a few seconds and then the monitor goes to sleep. The monitor realizes that there is a signal coming in; As soon as I disconnect the DVI cable I get the standard "Check Signal Cable" on the monitor's screen. I don't even get the initial white screen on the Mac boot up. nothing. just the monitor's confused signal identifying dialog.
I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection, with the same result.
I've also tried the monitor with an older PowerPC based Mac mini with the same result.
Both Macmini's work with out a problem when connected to my 32" LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable.
I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm; I think that fact has been the most painful part of the process up to now.
The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz. I can't get a resolution like that on the Mac's display settings. I've only been able to hook it up to the LCD TV, and the display settings when hooked up to the TV are limited to LCD TV settings; i.e. 1080i. I've also tried setting the mac mini to 800x600 but still get no picture.
Resetting PRAM etc. didn't help either.
I'm stuck... any ideas people?

I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable...
That should work.
and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection...
That won't work. Once you go from DVI to VGA from the mini, you need to stay VGA. There is no going back to digital. So try DVI to VGA and then a VGA cable to the Samsung.
I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm;...The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz.
I wouldn't call that working like a charm. 1280 x 800 at 40Hz is a completely bizarre resolution for a 23" monitor, or any monitor. I would begin wondering if you got a bad monitor if that's the best it can do.

Dual logging: macbook and samsung 2233bw lcd monitor: missing drivers

hi,
this x-mas i got a samsung lcd monitor. it is connected via dvi, and it's great to have all this extra screen space to play with. i have an issue, though. my new monitor is unable to take advantage of all the graphic features because the driver that came on the samsung c.d. is for windows os. there is no driver download for mac osx on samsung.com. i don't really feel like buying huey pro or spyder 2 colorvision. what can i do to 'unlock this monitor's potential?'
thanks and happy new year

well you don't actually need "drivers" for a monitor. the only thing beneficial would be a color profile. the cd probably contains some of those. but profiles need to be monitor, not monitor-model/series specific, as such, bundled profiles are just a "rough guide".
Since you cannot use the cd, you could try calibrating it with the colorsync utility in your applications->utilities folder. There are also some other better calibration tools on the net. a quick search yields good results.
but these eye-calibrations are never as good as the hardware calibration tools. maybe you know somebody who could lend you one?

External display HD LCD monitor vs HD LCD TV ??

Hello All
I'm needing to up-grade me second display and, have been shopping around.
In my shopping I'm getting mixed thoughts, I finding HD monitors and HD TV's so, I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction, I'm finding HD monitors in the area of $200. but, all the HD TV's $300. + , is there any real advantage of one over the other ?
I know just going with a standard LCD monitor would not be a good option, it's the HD monitors
that added to my future purchase confusion.
Thanks for any advice and or recommendations

They will probably both do as monitors. The Acer is a Computer Multisync Monitor, claiming to have a full resolution of 1920x1080. It is probably a progressive scan device, with some image processing on board, since they claim "Max. Refresh Rate 60Hz" on the Acer web site, so if you'll preview interlaced video on it, it may have the artifacts associated with standard poor or nonexistent de-interlacers. But it maybe o.k., specially if you are going to output most of your work for the internet, true Multisync Monitor maybe a good thing.
The Samsung is almost a TV set. It appears to be a 1680x1050 monitor. The bells and whistles appear to be associated with the HDTV tuner. As an ATSC tuner, it will have to tune the standard US ATSC channels and decode the standard 18 ATSC formats, including 640x480i30, 704x480i30/p24/p30/p60, 1280x720p24/p30/p60 to 1920x1080i30 and 1920x1080p24/ p30. But all this is converted into the monitor native 1680x1050xwhatever scan rate. From the HDMI inputs it will probably depend on drivers running on the graphics card on the MAC. Make sure that they have MAC drivers for this one, often they have just Windows drivers for these monitors.
I have a 26" Samsung, without the tuner and speakers, as my second monitor, to preview TV destined footage. It's resolution is 1920x1080, and it does an excellent job to show any artifacts that would show on TV.
I would recommend seeing the inputs before ordering the monitor on the WEB, because the most important characteristics are usually unavailable reading the specs. Also check about MAC driver availability.
Best of luck.
