How to be sure I have hi-res glossy LED widescreen display that I ordered.

Hi,
when I ordered it, I wanted to get custom screen.
on the order for screen is written:
17-inch Hi-Resolution Glossy LED Widescreen display
but on Macbook pro:
When I go to system info:
under graphics/display
display:
color LCD
Display type: LCD
Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Depth: 32-bit color
Built-in: yes
core image: hardware accelerated
etc. etc.
So this is confusing for me, nowhere is written hi-res Glossy LED widescreen display
When I turn macbook pro off, I can see my reflection on the screen.
BUT: if you go to apple store: you have four choices two with regular screen ( one reg , one glossy ) and two for hi-res LED ( one reg, one glossy )
I am really sorry to bother you with this thing, but any help would be great.
Apple wants me to send it back and I am not too much crazy about it. So I would like to be sure before I go through this hassle.
Regards

Welcome to the Forums!
LCD is the display type. LED is the backlight (versus cold cathode fluorescent lamp, CCFL). So, your profile will show LCD no matter what (i.e. you have an LCD display backlit by an LED light). LED's are "instant-on", CCFL's need to warm up a bit, so that's one way to tell them apart. But, if you have a new 17" high res, it's LED-backlit.
1920 x 1200 is the high-res (the standard res is 1680x1050).
Glossy vs. matte doesn't show up in the profile either - it's just a coating. You can tell glossy by looking for reflections with the display off - if there's reflection, it's glossy, if there are only muted, diffuse reflections or none (depending on lighting conditions), it's matte. (Mine is matte; with the display off, I can only see a fuzzy, diffuse shadow of myself, not a reflection.)
So, overall it certainly sounds like you got what you ordered.
Hope this helps...

  • How do I verify my T510 actually has the solid state drive that I ordered?

    My machine sometimes makes a loud noise like a hard drive going nuts when it is moving alot of data (as I move data from my old machine to this one). I ordered it with a solid state drive but wonder if a regular hard drive was put in the machine by mistake. I checked Windows system information on the disks and it says I have a "fixed hard disc". I am not familiar with Windows 7 and wonder if it might say that even if it is a SSD. 
    Thanks

  • I have a Macbook and an external display that will not connect.

    I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Apple but the Detect Displays under system set up does not recognize my external display.  The Mini Display port doesn't fit into the port on my Macbook with the Display printed above it but into "Y" port.  The picture on the package for the adaptor matches the ends of the adaptor, but they don't seem to fit where they should.
    Is that the issue or is there something else?

    Thank you.  I didn't know where to look for that information.

    If you changed your Apple ID, you will not  be able to update any of the content that you used in the past. The worse case scenario here would have been to change the password. Really all you needed to do was go on the Apple site and change the password, unless you provided them with information. This will make it difficult for you to deal with turning off Find My iPhone and other Apple ID related steps. All you really needed to do was delete the email.

  • How to connect multiple Apple LED Cinema Displays to MacBook Pro

    I have an Apple 24 inch LED Cinema display that I run from my MB Pro. I mainly use the MB Pro+ screen for document editing.
    I would like to run a second Apple 24 inch Cinema display from the MB Pro. I am presently running another monitor successfully via a Dynalink USB splitter but would really prefer to run a second Apple monitor. I have enquired at two Apple Stores and browsed lots of sites. Multiple monitors from MB Pro seems ok (as long as it's not two Apple monitors). I would be surprised if Apple is content to pass up the opportunity to sell more of these superb screens.
    Grateful for any advice and suggestions

  • Regular Display / Hi-Res Glossy

    Hey I was just wondering -
    What are the main differences between the standard display, the hi-res glossy display and the hi-res antiglare display screens?
    Thanks

    From the Apple Store:
    +The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit glossy display. You can also choose a high-resolution 1680-by-1050 glossy or antiglare display that gives you 36 percent more pixels.+
    +About the high-resolution display+
    +The 1680-by-1050 display gives you more pixels — which is especially useful when you’re working with HD content in pro applications, like Final Cut Studio — because you get a sharper image and more screen space to work with.+
    +About glossy and antiglare+
    +Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer colors and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with antiglare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the antiglare widescreen display.+

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

    im pretty sure i have a very old software version for my macbook pro, how do i buy or download os x mountain lion or snow leopard?sof

    Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
    Snow Leopard Purchase    
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.

    When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)

  • How many symbolic accounts, I have to create and then assign them to res...

    Hi friends,
    I am in the BBP creation phase, I have created the list of wage types for my client, there are 41 wage types, now as far as posting to accounts is concerned, how many symbolic accounts, I have to create and then assign them to respective G/L accounts ?
    Please throw some practical light on this, I know all theory 
    Thanks
    Jay

    Hi Jay
    We wouldnt be able to tell you exactly how many symbolic accounts you may need to create for the 41 Wage Types as it is specific to your requirement.
    Check these links out: Symbolic Accounts..
    http://sappeers.wordpress.com/category/sap-fi-hr-integration/
    It might help you with a fair understanding of what you need to do.
    Example for linking wage types to symbolic accounts: basic pay wage type u20181000u2019 is linked to symbolic account u20188888u2019 (Salaries & wages)
    Hope this helped!

  • I want to remove iMovies from my computer to save space. How can I be sure I have saved all my work in iMovie?

    I have a lot of old iMovie projects that are taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. What do I need to copy to another drive in order to trash them on my computer? I might want to work them again, but not in the near future. I made DVDs of my project, but I might want to keep clips in case I want to work on them some more.

    Is there a limit on how many Apps i can have on my iPod Touch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot, that was very helpful.
    I am pretty sure that there's 16 Apps per page,
    so...16 X 9 = 144 - 13 pre installed Apps.
    131 total available (slots) for Apps.
