LCD color display monitor

I have a HP LCD color display monitor - product 20555SH249 Product # P8740AA  
Model # HSTND 2171-A1.  Recently in the left hand upper corner a box has appeared saying   Luminance 
has Contrast in red and Brightness (blue) another line. Please help me get rid of this as it is very annoying. 
Can't click on it as can't get my cursor on it. If I leave the computer for a while it will go away but as soon as 
I return and type anything it is back.  
Thank you 
Pauline Fenner
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I  removed the serial # - did not know that was a problem. 
Still need answer to my question - Why do I get the box with luminance in the left hand corner - 
it is a problem trying to properly using my computer. 
Thanks, 
Pauline Fenner

  • 'The monitor profile "LCD color management and conversion" PSE6

    Does anyone know how to correct this?  I can find older posts  but they date back too far.  Where they say to go and what do has changed since.
    The monitor profile LCD color management and conversion appears to be defective.  Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
    Everything dispalys in a cream color background and nothing prints correct color.  I have PSE6.

    todls1:
    I'm guessing this message appears when you start the PSE6 Editor?
    If so, what you should select is Ignore, and check the box to not show the message again. (Alternatively, you can remove the profile. If you wish to do this, tell me what edition of Windows you have and I can provide instructions.)
    Essentially, you have a profile installed for your computer's monitor, either installed automatically by Windows Updates, it came with your computer, or it was installed with a driver (or piece of software) for your monitor.
    This type of profile is "generic" and does not contain color calibration information.
    Elements looks for profiles assigned to your monitor, because if the profile was created as part of a color calibration process, then that profile contains information that will help Elements to ensure that the colors you see on the screen are accurate.
    Color is a complicated topic, especially when you introduce computer monitors, but suffice it to say that each monitor has various things that can make it display the same image in a way that's different from every other monitor. These things can include age of the monitor, the specific settings (e.g. contrast, brightness, etc.) of the monitor, and the lighting conditions in the room. When you calibrate a monitor using specialized calibration hardware/software, the calibration software creates a profile that tells programs on your computer (like Elements) about all these factors and how to compensate for them to ensure everything is displayed correctly.
    Sorry for what may seem a long-winded explanation, but just understand that using the "generic" profile instead of one created by specialized calibration equipment has caused colors to appear incorrectly in Elements and are likely contributing to the problem when printing. This is why you should select Ignore.

  • Macbook pro's doesn't send display to LCD or external monitor

    Hi,
    A few weeks back my macbook pro stopped sending output to LCD or external monitor and local apple support guys said that it had a problem in its logic board that needed to be replaced. Since my notebook was long out of warranty and the new logic board would have cost a lot, I just dumped it to my stack of broken hardware.
    A few days back I was going through my old hardware and out of sheer curiosity I tried to turn it (the macbook pro) on. Voila! it did turn on however the poor thing complained about HDD being corrupt (I verified it by starting it in single user mode, otherwise it would immediately restart after displaying apple logo). I had the operating system formatted and reinstalled by the support guys.
    Last night It stopped talking to display devices again and has been that way since then. Is there any hope for it or should I just scrape the poor thing? It would really break my heart since it works fine otherwise, I can log into it through VNC (I always keep a copy of VNC server on my machines) and it seems to work fine.

    ishaqmalik,
    Your "A1226" "santa Rosa model MBP is one of the models which suffers from a well known problem with the Nvidia 8600 GPU.
    Apple have an extended repair program which involves the free replacement of the logic board of this computer if tests establish that it suffers from this issue.
    Your symptoms sound very like those which the NVidia GPU issue produces (I've suffered it myself).
    I'm not sure where you are based, or how long ago you took your computer in (perhaps it was before the extended repair program was instituted? ) but I think you should pursue the possibility that you may be eligible for it. There is a very good chance that you are and that your logic board will be replaced free of charge. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 for further details.
    Cheers

    Problems facing....
    My cinema HD is set to primary display and Cinema as 2nd display. Everything was working fine but suddenly my 2nd display stopped working. It remains black as if its in sleep mood. The small power led light on the monitor is On(not blinking). In Graphics/Displays shows both monitors are connected. I can drag any window to the 2nd display as if its working but its still black. In display preferences it shows both monitor on arrangement section. I can even change the resolution size of both monitors.
    My cinema display monitor has no problem. I have checked it already. I have swapped the DVI ports at the back of my cpu but it seems only the 2nd port is giving this problem. As if no matter what my 2nd port of graphics card is on sleep mood. I have taken it to our local apple center and both ports were working fine there, the only difference is they checked it using none apple lcd monitor. But when I brought it back to office, it had the same problem again. The strange thing is....one day while I was working the 2nd display suddenly appeared but when I restarted my mac, it went back to the same problem. Till now my 2nd display not showing anymore. I have reinstalled to new OSx but the problem remains. So can anyone pls tell me how I can solve this problem.
    thanks
    <Edited by Host>

    only the 2nd port is giving this problem
    You have an older card, and the second port is flaky. The problem follows the port.
    I am sorry to be so blunt, but the problem is YOU.
    No one wants to be the one to club you on the head and point out that your card is dying, and you are going to have to get a new(er) one. There is no "quick fix" for dying Hardware, and no fix at all for you when you will not connect the dots and realize your card is on its last legs.
    If running 10.6.4 or later, you can install the 5770 and it will work, but not at quite the advertised speeds if your slot will only go up to 8x.

  • Why "LCD color management and conversion" appears to be defective?

    Why? How to fix it?

    Apparently "LCD color management and conversion" is the profile that's associated (through the operating system) with your monitor.
    The error message is because the color profile named "LCD color management and conversion" likely really is defective.  Profiles are complex things and are not always properly crafted.  This problem is surprisingly common.
    Click Start, then type color management into the search box.
    When Color Management comes up, click it.
    Click the Devices tab to see or change what profile is associated with your monitor.
    How did you end up with that profile associated with your monitor?  The windows default is to use sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Did you profile your display with a color measurement device?  Did it get installed with your monitor?

  • 17" LCD Cinema Display does not work on G4 Tower with ATI 9000

    Hi,
    I have a G4 Tower with the original AGP ATI Radeon 9000B video card. My friend gave me this unit just recently but not the original monitor. Well after he got his new 30" Cinema Display he gave me the original 17"LCD Cinema Display. I was so happy, plugged it into the card and fired up the CPU but nothing! just blank! It is not getting any power for the USB ports or anything. My buddy says the monitor was checked before I picked it up. I yanked the Video card out and put it back in, inside the CPU was clean as was the card, put it back together and still nothing. The VGA monitor I have is connected via adapter to the other input and works fine. I tried doing display settings and the Cinema is not even detected. Is the Video card fried on the digital side?
    Do I need a new one?
    Here is the info on the CPU:
    Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 400 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
    Serial Number: XB0120xxxxx
    Any help wold be appreciated.

    Hi MFG,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    The G4 AGP Graphics model originally shipped with an ATY Rage 128 graphics card. The ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card that is installed in your G4 is not the original card.
    The ATI Radeon 9000 comes with a native ADC port (which you are trying to use). This port is only fully functional if the computer is ADC enabled. Your model of G4 is, unfortunately, not ADC enabled.
    You can confirm this by opening the computer and having a look at the AGP slot (where the graphics card is installed). In ADC enabled Macs, there is an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot to accomodate an "extra leg" that the ADC graphics cards (such as the ATI 9000) have. This extra leg supplies the power and USB feed. You'll probably find this extra leg with no slot for it to go into.
    What this means is that you are not getting power and USB feed through the ADC port to your display.
    If you want to get the 17" ADC Apple LCD display working off this card (it's definitely the LCD display and not the CRT display, please confirm), you will need to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
    and run it off the DVI output.
    You can run your VGA screen at the same time (if you want to) off the ADC output by using this adaptor:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0117-ADCV
    This will work off the ADC port because, although the ADC port is not getting USB or power feed, it's still getting the DVI feed (which is what this adaptor needs).
    Cheers!

  • Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

    Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
    1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
         Things I'm not sure about:
              a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
              b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
              c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
    2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
    3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
    3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
    4. Make paintings, have fun.
    Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

  • Color Display for PDF Files Creative Cloud in Browser View

    I have noticed that there is a great difference in color display between a PDF and .ai/eps files. When viewed in the browser there seems to be no ICC taking affect for PDF files even though options to include the profiles, etc in output were selected. This makes it hard to use as a tool when showing clients proofs via the browser as they will never see proper color. I know color will vary between monitors but the difference is huge for some colors. Like a dark almost Navy Blue appearing like a vibrant pen ink blue. On a Mac when you use the quick spacebar preview the correct color shows for all versions of file type but in the browsers it shows the color incorrectly. Have tried this so far on the Mac in in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Even Google Drive can display all the file types correctly with correct color although the way it shows eps files is a bit off. That I don't mind as I rarely save eps files anymore.
    Is there something I am missing or is this a defect in the browser display?
    The other possible option would be to flip my thinking and save everything as .ai files with PDF compatibility turned on and then have to tell clients that they should be able to open that ai file in Acrobat. At the moment I save everything as PDF files with Illustrator compatibility turned on.

    Can anyone throw light on this. I'm facing same problem.

  • Color display issues in Fireworks

    I have been having problems with how colors are displaying in Fireworks CS4.  Some colors appear to be extremely desaturated and was
    hed out, yet when exported or viewed in another application, they appear vivid and vibrant.
    Similarly, some jpeg files, when opened in Fireworks, appear overly saturated and vibrant as compared to the original.
    This is a new issue which seemed to develop spontaneously in the past month or so (it used to work fine).  I have tried to find some
    way of adjusting the color display or calibrating the program, but have come up empty handed.  This is becoming a big problem for m
    e since I rely heavily on Fireworks for creating website layouts.  A color palate that looks perfect in Fireworks then looks garish
    and terrible in the other adobe programs or in my safari browser.
    The only changes I have made to my system are to install any mac or adobe updates that come through.
    Can you suggest anything which might be causing this problem and how I might resolve it?

  • RE: JVC TMH150CGU 15" Color Production Monitor?

    Greetings:
    Looking for a dent, but mid-priced monitor for editing and color correction. I've read some pretty positive things about the JVC TMH150CGU 15" Color Production Monitor. Anyone using this? Anything else comparable that I should also check out?
    Blessings,
    Craig

    I have this monitor. It has recently been discontinued by JVC. The world is turning HD LCD so you may get stuck with it when you upgrade your techniques or footage. It has very good picture quality and can be calibrated well, but remember that it is a standard definition monitor, so you will not be able to easily or inexpensively monitor 1080p/24fps timelines in FCP. I needed it for that purpose and found I would need to spend a lot more for a Matrox converter to use this monitor for those timelines. Unfortunately, I will be selling mine on ebay and purchasing a low end Sony LCD for canvas external monitoring.

  • Apple 21" studio Display monitor-help

    I have a G4 and just got an apple 21" studio display monitor
    I work in photoshop CS2 what do I put the resolution at? Color and refresh?
    what should the white point and gamman be? what should the profile on themonitor display?
    I WENT INTO THE PREFERENCES AND LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY..THANKS..JAN

    (for my photos the service I use said to use sRGB the resolution)....
    Then open CS2 and under Photoshop scroll down to Color Settings, go to Work Space and set the RGB tab to sRGB. At the top of the menu under Monitor it should be your Apple 21" Display.
    If it is not then it will change after you calibrate the monitor. Open System Preferences/Desktop and change your desktop to a medium gray (you can change it back after you make the necessary color corrections). Now choose Display, select your preferred screen resolution, and millions of color. Now choose Color from the upper tab to Calibrate the monitor. If you check the box "Show profile for this display only" the menu will be simplified. Now select Calibrate and use the professional mode. Just follow the on screen instructions and do all of the color setting using the 1.8 gamma and native whiter point.
    After the monitor is calibrated you will be asked to save and name the calibration. I would recommend a name similar but different from the default Apple 21" Display setting, you can even include the date if you calibrate often.
    Reopen Photoshop and check the Work Space the RGB/Monitor the setting should be your recent selected calibration.

  • Macintosh Color Display

    I just bought a used Macintosh Color Display from a local thrift store. I have brought it home only to find that the adjustment holes on the back seem to have no effect when a tool is inserted & I attempt to adjust the screen's geometry. For my tools I'm using a $15 Kronus toolkit I bought from our local Radio Shack store. The monitor is currently hooked up to a Mac Performa 405 with Mac OS 7.5.5 & maxed out RAM & VRAM. Through trial & error I eventually figured out that I needed to enable the LC Monitors extension for the Macintosh Color Display to show up as a valid choice in ColorSync's list dialog box that opens when selecting the monitor model. I have also downloaded a manual for it from Apple's Support website too. According to the manual I'll need to take apart the monitor to get at the geometry adjustment controls. I also need to find the Apple Display Utility download in the event I should need to attempt to calibrate it. Is the only feasible way to adjust the monitor's geometry by opening it up?

    Update: I have taken off the case of the monitor yet again to perform the adjustments. The problem is simple. I had adjusted it previously but the setting won't stick & now the left & right edges of the image look distorted. The odd thing is they looked fine at the time when I did the adjusting. I also had the fuse tested at Radio Shack & they said it was still good. I have also discovered something quite disturbing while the monitor was open. There is a capacitor inside with a y shaped marking on top of it rated at 2200uF. I also recently read a Wikipedia article which suggests that such capacitors with a y shaped marking on top & rated over 480uF may need to be replaced. It wouldn't surprise me in the least considering the monitor was made in November 1993 according to the sticker on the bottom edge at the back of it. I also had a recent experience with Apple's Tech Support over the phone via their 1-800-SOS-APPL number. I told them I suspected bad capacitor/s may be the cause of my issue too. I was also sent a survey by email shortly afterward. When I called their Tech Support they said the monitor was purchased from Apple in 2003 but I bought in sometime during the first quarter of 2006 from the local MVAC Thrift and More store. Will the repair be covered as a manufacturer's defect too despite the age of the monitor? Should I take the monitor to my local Apple Authorized Service Provider? More importantly will I have to pay for the repair?

  • Mac M2943 color display connects to G3 tower

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the Apple M2943 color display will run on the G3 using a OS9.2? If so what would I need to connect?
    HBMB

    If your computer is a beige G3, you can plug it in with a DA-15 cable, which is also referred to as a DB-15 cable. For a blue and white G3, you need an adapter to connect the VGA port on the computer to the DA-15 port on the monitor. If you got some software with the monitor, don't install it on a Mac OS 9 system, as it is not compatible with Mac OS 9.

  • Best MAC 10.6 Color Display Profile for use with Adobe Illustrator CS5

    Hi everyone,
    Which Color display profile should I choose for my iMAC (10.6) using Illustrator CS5?  I need the colors to appear as accurate as possible when exporting PDF files.
    Thank you!

    Diane,
    The only Monitor profile you should ever use is a device-specific one created for your particular monitor.
    If you have not calibrated and profiled your monitor, thereby creating a monitor profile in the process, used the canned one provided by the manufacturer of youor monitor.
