Issue with the display on MBP 15" with anti-glare screen

Hi Everyone,
my MBP 15" is only 7 months old, so I need to dig the warranty info out.
However, I am curious to know whether anyone else has experienced a similar issue with their screen. Mine has developed a series of small shadows at the bottom of the screen, it almost looks like a theatre stage!!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Many people have. It's a fault in the display backlight. Have it repaired while your machine is still under warranty.

Is the new 2011 MBP Hi Res Anti Glare screen actually LED

Last time around, my friend bought an antiglare hi res MBP but found that when he received it, it did not have LED tech... it was LCD like the old models. After speaking with Apple they told him that what true and allowed him to exchange for gloss since the site did not say this anywhere.
Is the current MBP the same way or has Apple sorted out how to make the high rez display both anti glare AND LED?

You're absolutely right. I bought a 2010 15" hi-res anti-glare MacBook Pro and found the panel to be significantly darker than that of the regular 1440x900 screens. So what I did was return the laptop and purchased a 13" MBA. After comprehensive testing, I've concluded the 2010 13" and 11" MBAs to be the brightest (led backlight-wise) of all Apple laptops. Unfortunately, not so much contrast as the MBAs have worse viewing angles than the Pros.
It's hard time information like this elsewhere, but for all else looking for a Mac with the brightest screens here's a list:
2010 MacBook Air > 13" MBP > 15" & 17" MBP > 15" MBP Hi-Res > 15" MBP Hi-Res Anti-Glare > 13" MB
I'm still waiting until Apple unifies all 15" to Hi-Res next year (hopefully) before making the jump.

Can i buy a MBP with anti glare screen in store (UK) ?

No, that's a build-to-order option.

Is there a genuine IPad anti glare screen to reduce the reflection/mirror effect when using outdoors?

The reflection in the IPad 4th generation retina screen when using outdoors or in bright light is very distracting. You look at yourself! Especially if using the pad on your knees.
I have fitted the excellent Moshi clear protection screen, but this does not reduce the reflection. Amazon sell an anti glare screen for the IPad 2. Anyone found one that really works, or is this something we must put up with.

Linehill again. It seems that many users find the same problem, but no one has the answer! I have been experimenting with some ideas and have found wearing a black or very dark shirt makes a huge improvement if you are sitting down and hold the IPad on your thighs. Try it!

Change my display for a matte or anti-glare one

Hello.
I've got a new G580 laptop, but I found really annoying and unuseful the glare screen.
I've tried to put over a protector film, but it's even worse because it makes some bubbles in between the film and the display.
so, is it possible to change my display for a matte or anti-glare one? is there any other solution?
Thanks.

Hi Akronix,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear about the situation and the display cannot be replaced by other type of displays and the only available option is to use a protector film, I suggest you to get the protector film on the Laptop by an expert to avoid bubbles on the screen.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

What is the best way to clean a Macbook anti glare screen

What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro anti glare screen

I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:
http://www.windex.com/en-US/Products/Pages/electronic-cleaner-and-wipes.aspx
I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth. The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.
Ciao.

Will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

Hi j,
Apple rarely announces upcoming hardware upgrades, so we'll probably just have to wait and see if that's something that happens in the future with the retina line. In the meantime, you can express your desire for one here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Lightroom 4 (beta and current release) - Issue with Select Catalog screen - catalogs not displaying

I noticed this during the beta test version of LR4 and was hoping it would be corrected in the actual release (which I installed yesterday). Here's the issue:
When the Select Catalog window opens, catalogs will not display unless I click in the empty space in the window (first screenshot)...then they will appear one by one as I start to click (second screenshot) until all are displayed.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? These catalogs are NOT on a network drive, they are on my desktop machine (Win Vista 64-bit).

I have the identical problem.
LR3 worked perfectly. LR4 won't refresh the Catalog screen at startup without me clicking on each entry. Only when an entry is selected will it appear.
I have an nvidia GeForce 9800GT video card, supporting dual monitors.
I'm using Vista 64.
I just upgraded to LR4 64bit, and immediately had this problem.
I installed the most current video driver (2/12/2012) with no change in problem (or performance).
I have not noticed any other program having issues, and have not changed any hardware recently.
I am also noticing that LR4 is visibly slower than LR3, to the point where most sliders don't slide evenly, but jump in increments unless I move VERY slowly.
I've watched the processor load using resource monitor: it is not peaking over about 65% during slider actvitivity.
I have an Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz with 8 gb of ram.

Is there any store that sell MBP with anti-glare display?

I googled, but I can't find any store which sell those version. Is those version sell only at Apple Store?
My location is in Japan now.

This may sound silly but I wasn't expecting the high res anti glare macbook pro to not have a glass cover over it. to many this might not be an issue, but I need to be able to use a digital drawing pen over top the surface of my monitor. My previous macbook was the first of the unibodies from 2008 and that works fine. But I guess I should have gone with the hi res glossy. So are there any solid screen protectors available or am I going to have to see about returning this computer. :|
Why don't you instead just use a piece of rounded edge glass in the rare times when your doing that?
Your one of the very few that has to actually draw on their screen, most use a drawing pad Walcom tablet, iPad or import a scan or image into Adobe Illustrator rather than hold their hand up to the screen for hours.
Don't you know you can command shift 3 or 4 to snapshot a image of anything on the screen? SnapZ Pro X will record video?
Seems to me your doing things the wrong way.
The anti-glare MacBook Pro is awesome when you take it to various places and can still see the screen and can't adust the enviroment to suit.

Video issues on the display of a MBP 17

Hello,
The display on my MBP 17 is not operating properly. Before I contact Apple I thought I would seek some advice.
The display bottom half is all video garbled, but upper half is working properly. When I close the lid placing the computer in 'sleep' mode and reopen, the display works perfectly for awhile. Then returns to acting up but there is no rhyme or reason for length when it returns to acting up.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Reed

See if this applies to you.

Issue with wallpapers and screens

Hi,
I believe I have found an issue with the wallpapers configuration when switching from a 2 monitor configuration to a 1 external monitor configuration.
The following procedure reproduces this issue:
- If you don't already have create a second virtual screen.
- Connect your MBP to an external monitor with a different resolution (in my case a 1080p Samsung monitor). Configure the desktop as extended.
- On virtual screen 1 change the desktop wallpapers for the external monitor and the built-in monitor. They should be different.
- Now close the build-in monitor so that the external monitor becomes the primary and the only one active.
- Now swipe left with the 3 fingers to change to virtual screen 2.
- The result is the wallpaper for the built-in monitor will appear on top of the wallpaper for the external monitor with the top left corner on the top left corner of the monitor screen but it will be displayed with the resolution of the built-in monitor, so one will be on top of the other like on the attached image.
Below you can see virtual screen 1 and virtual screen 2 screenshots:
This looks like a bug. Are any of you able to reproduce this?
I have an early 2011 MBP:
2,3 Ghz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

hi
what i believe is the problem with your date profile
to make the time as user time zone ,you need to make following settings
Customer Relationship Management--->Basic Functions--->Date Management---->Define Date Profile
Here for a Date Profile, u need to create the reference object adn then assign this object to your date type
the date profile works in following way ,first we have to create our date type and assign the date rule to it and then assign this date type to the date profile
so in similar way u need to first do changes in the refernce object ,which will be user user time zone in time
and then assign it to the date profile
Also after this just check inside the T code ZTAC
hope it will end ur probs
best regards

Issue with Macbook Pro (Screen Blotches)

I've got these issues with my screen, these bright marks appear when the screen displays dark colours, and I don't understand what's causing them.
I've got pictures of the problem here.
http://s891.photobucket.com/albums/ac118/zupnik/?action=view&current=screen1.jpg
http://s891.photobucket.com/albums/ac118/zupnik/?action=view&current=screen2.jpg
You can even see black dots in the actual marks themselves which I don't particularly understand. But will this be covered under my warranty? I haven't spilt anything on my Macbook and it hasn't suffered any knocks that I'm aware of.
I've checked the forums, but the other "blotches" which are mentioned are seen in light colours, whereas I can't see them at all in light colours.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks,
Anthony

Issue with regeneration of screens for program RVV50R10C

Hi All,
We have a custom program with BDC simulation of the standard transaction VL10F. The program was working fine since the system went until last week. It started failing since 5 Aug 08. On further investigation we have noticed that the screen names of few fields changed on 5 Aug 08, this was because someone regenerated the program. We know that the program was regenerated on 5 Aug but do not know who regenerated it or how was this program regenerated. The issue is the screen names of those fields are inconsistent across the systems as this regeneration happenned only in the production system. I would need answers to 2 questions.
1) How can I know who regenerated this program/screen?
2) How do I make all my systems consistent across the board?
Regards,
Karthik

Strange Vertical lines and pixelation issues with my Powerbook screen...Hel

I have got a problem with mt LCD screen which now permanently displays lines of "dead" pixels, but they can't be dead because they chaneg all the time. If I move a window, I get lots more, which are created by the edge of the window, like a ghosting? Does that make sense?
I have taken a screen grab, but not sure how to feature it in these forums. Anyone got any ideas or know about this problem?
I have had a similar problem with this and other laptops, but it has always been a temporary thing before, when I had overloaded the system or something, and I got 'ghosting' from the trailing edge of a window, but this is permanently there?

I have now attached a monitor to the PB, and it happens on the monitor too...maybe suggesting something wrong with the graphics card or logic board, rather than the screen itself. When I type this message, I get strange red 'ghosting' lines where the cursor moves across the page.It reminds me of the 'Etch-o-sketch' game, where you draw lines, and then wipe them off. I can move a window from left to right and get these ghosting lines. When I move the window back right to left, they erase the lines to the left of the window, but I get more to the trailing right edge of the window...i.e. on the right of the screen.
Scrolling also removes these pixels, but creates new ones elsewhere.
Any ideas?
