I need help choosing a monitor! PLEASE HELP!

I getting a brand new mac mini from ebay and i am deciding between a 15-inch or a 14-inch LCD display. I was just wondering, if both of the displays have a resolution of 1024 x 768, is that the pixel count too? so does that mean the pixels on the 15-inch are just bigger or something? i need to know because the 14-inch LCD is $40 cheaper than the 15 inch....Thanks everyone!
also, since i've already decided on getting an apple keyboard, do you think the mighty mouse is really worth $49? i like to stick with apple products so that's why I'm wondering.

It doesn't necessarily mean the pixels themselves are bigger or smaller. It could also be the dot pitch (or distance between pixels) is bigger or smaller. If the native resolution is 1024x768 then you are correct, there are physically 1024x768=786,432 pixels. A 15" screen with the same resolution as a 14" screen may appear slightly less sharp but objects will appear larger. It's a tradeoff. Generally I would choose the larger monitor just because it is easier on the eyes when reading small print, etc.
Hope that helps,
-CW

    Yep, i just did it again. The entire scroll-bar widget, complete with formatted text, graphics, etc., pasted itself nicely in another book. Two different files, the same widget.
    I use the scroll-bar widgets for most of my texts. (I have audio buttons on the side, and the scripts are within the widget, to the side). My only text is within widgets, and text boxes, naturally. 
    I am following your recommendation: cleaning files, etc. I am remaking the book anew. I need to convince the EPUB bot or whatever that my file looks and works nicely on all my devices. You would expect an error message when previewing the book: 'Hey Amigo, your file is flawed, stop working on it, and get back to the drawing board." Should be able to try again next Monday.

    If you have Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    Absolutely not true. There is no difference, spec wise, between the iPhone sold in Japan & the GSM iPhone sold everywhere else. iPhones in Japan use UMTS 2100.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Need iMac G5 (iSight) monitor calibration help (RGB Channels?)

    I understand the need to calibrate my display so that the final print matches what I see on my display. I plan to use the Gretag Macbeth Eye One Display calibrator, which I have already used on my last CRT monitor, with good results. I needed to adjust the Brightness, Contrast and RGB Channels individually to get the profile on the CRT monitor. I cannot seem to find these same controls in the iMac G5. Am I just blind...or do they not exist in this computer? Please help! Thank you, Regina
    iMac G5 iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    You do not have individual channel calculation on an LCD at least not with the G-M software (apple's built-in calbrator does a software calibration for individual channels, but you'll still be closer with the Eye-One Match results). Brightness you can set with the slider in display or by using the keyboard controls. Contrast is in universal access, but you should just leave it alone. The default setting is the correct one for beginning a G-M calculation.
    EDIT Are you aware that there was an update to the G-M software a couple of weeks ago? You can download it from their website.

  • Images too dark on Samsung monitor - please help!

    We've just upgraded a Samsung 21" monitor to a Samsung 30" (305T).
    In just TWO applications, Photoshop CS3 and Windows Photo Gallery (Vista64), all photographic images are much too dark. Not subtly, about 3-4 f-stops too dark.
    EVERY other of our applications INCLUDING ADOBE BRIDGE AND FIREWORKS, and even Photoshop itself during Save to Web, displays the photos as they should appear.
    I've tried setting various profiles in Windows Color Management as the default, including the ICC profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (which my reading says we should be using), as well as WCS profiles sRGB virtual and scRGB virtual, and tried using no profile at all. None of these changes makes any apparent difference at all to the images we're seeing.
    In Photoshop, I've tried various options too. If set to Monitor Color (Monitor RGB - * wscRGB) Photoshop then displays images as it should. However the Camera Raw display when loading Nikon images is still much too dark, and the Photoshop Save to Web images are much too light. Arrrgh!
    The monitor does not include any driver software, just electronic documentation (poorly edited) which offers no advice about this. I've seen references to various Gamma utilities, but not sure that's what I need. Is it?
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
    TIA

    Thanks Peter & Sid. I appreciate the advice, but it doesn't match our experience over 12 years of designing web applications so I'm having trouble understanding what's different, can I ask for any more advice you might have?
    If we calibrate the monitor using the recommended tools, will Photoshop images look 2-3 f-stops brighter (i.e. as they should look) and will images in all other apps (which look fine now, have always looked fine) look 2-3 f-stops too bright? Or would we be changing JUST the way Photoshop sees the images?
    Through probably a dozen different previous CRT and LCD monitors, we've never calibrated anything. Even on our immediately-previous Samsung 213T monitor, images appear pretty much the same in Photoshop as they do in all other places. That includes published web sites viewed with several popular browsers and viewed on literally hundreds of different systems inside and outside of our office.
    The previous monitor was being used with exactly the same software and hardware as the new one. The only thing that's changed is the monitor.
    Peter asks about brightness or white point luminance. I haven't used any tool to determine that. The monitor is set to 50% brightness, for whatever that's worth, but I can tell you that it is substantially BRIGHTER on white than the previous monitor. The previous Samsung monitor is being run side-by-side with the new one, and it looks quite dull and yellow beside the new one (and we thought it was a great monitor!) The new 30" Samsung has MUCH whiter whites. Does that help even a little?
    Thanks for any further advice.

  • I need answers about the iCloud - Please help

    Hi guys, well I have a few iOS devices, 2 ipads, and an iphone. Well, I got a few questions to ask.
    1. Ok, on my iphone on settings on the icloud bit, I have my iphone back up aswell as the 2 ipads. What will happen if I delete the back up for 1 of the ipads. Like, I don't know whats on the back up. And If I want a new back up for the ipad, how to I create 1?
    2. On the icloud section with all 3 ios devices, my 5gb of storage is full, and each device has a bit of storage used up by it. The iphone - 1.7gb, ipad 1 - 600 mb... And it all adds up to around 5gb. But what I don't understand is, on 1 of the ipads it says I've used up 17gb of storage (not icloud), so why has the icloud only stored 600 mb of it? Shouldn't it store like the whole 5gb? I really don't know... I need all the info about the icloud. And yes I've read all of it on this website but none of it helps.
    3. Since it say the icloud storage is full, how do i get more storage, should I just buy more, or is there another way?
    All I know is, if I have icloud set up on all 3 of my devices, what ever i buy on 1 devices it goes on the other 3.
    And that, i have a back up with all my music n stuff in, just incase something goes wrong. Please help! Thanks!

    I don't think you quite understand how hibernation mode works.
    "The state of a computer is stored into its main memory, which is also called RAM. When a
    computer is powered off, the contents of this memory are irremediably wiped out. Hiberna-
    tion works in the following way: before being powered off, the computer saves all the con-
    tents of the memory to a file on the hard disk drive. On wake up, data stored in this file is
    read out and restored to the memory. Therefore, the RAM contents are the same before
    and after the hibernation process, and the state of the computer is also the same. The
    saved file is named sleepimage, and is located in the /private/var/vm directory. Hi-
    bernation is sometimes also called “software suspend” or “suspend to disk”.
    The default suspension feature of Mac OS X, called sleep works in a different way. When
    entering sleep, every subsystem of the computer is shut down, except the main memory
    which is still powered. This process preserves the contents of the memory, and allows the
    computer to wake up quickly. However, a sleeping computer still consumes a small
    amount of power. Sleep is sometimes also called “hardware suspend” or “suspend to
    RAM”.
    Apple introduced the safe sleep feature in Mac OS X 10.4.3 for the Powerbook HD line of
    laptops. This feature is a variation of the default suspension behavior. The main memory is
    still powered during the sleep, but the contents of the memory are also saved to the disk at
    the beginning of the operation. The saved file will only be used if the laptop runs out of bat-
    tery power while sleeping, in order to restore the original state of the computer.
    This safe sleep feature is what makes hibernation possible in Mac OS X 10.4.3 and above."
