LCD display for Hardware Monitor?

Hardware Monitor...
http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
...supports certain external, USB-based LCD displays for providing system status. Is anyone using one?
Can anyone recommend a nice, already-assembled unit to set on the desk here? Thanks.

Sadly none of the above unit will work w/ Hardware Monitor.
I just received this email from the author after inquiring about the above displays compatibility w/ Hardware Monitor:
Unfortunately, these vendors are completely unknown in Europe and
they only offer drivers for Windows, so no support for these modules
is possible so far.
If not, is there a ready-made, external (already in a little
enclosure) unit that does?
No, I am currently not aware of any ready-made units. Unfortunately
the market for these devices seems to be so small that no worldwide
vendor has established an industry standard yet, or could provide
an open software layer for Mac OS X. When such a solution exists, we
will immediately support it in Hardware Monitor.
For more information about LCD unit support please see the chapter
"Controlling external alphanumeric displays" in the reference manual
of Hardware Monitor.

  • LCD TV for external monitor?

    I have a 20" iMac with FCP 6, and I want to get a LCD TV to use as a second monitor. Since I've never done it before -- i.e. hooking up a second monitor to an iMac, or configured FCP to use one -- I was wondering if anyone has ever done that, and if it would be worth it. I'm considering getting a 32" 720P LG, Sony, or Samsung. It's a lot of money and it'd be good to hear some firsthand experience before I drop a grand on a TV.
    A side question would be, the 26, 32, and 37" TVs all have a resolution of 1366x768. At what size does the TV have to blow up the image to fit the screen (which would lower the quality of the image)?
    This might not be a good question for a FCP forum, and if so just ignore me. But any thoughts would be helpful.

    While I agree that you don't want to rely solely on a consumer LCD TV for any critical evaluation in terms of color/contrast, etc, I do like to see what my output will look like on a typical client owned TV. So here's my setup:
    FCP output via Firewire to Sony DSR20 VTR. Analog (S-VHS) out from DSR-20 to an S-VHS distribution amp. S-VHS loop through from the distribution amp goes to a 13" professional color NTSC monitor. First distribution amp output (S-VHS) goes to a Samsung consumer 32" LCD TV. The composite video out of the DSR-20 goes to a 9" professional NTSC monitor which I keep in color-off mode for brightness/contrast evaluation.
    The remaining distribution amp outputs go to an old VHS dub rack that I've been meaning to disassemble (someday when I have time), and to a couple of stand-alone DVD recorders.
    While editing I have all three monitors on and can make the appropriate determinations.
    But equally important and often overlooked is how you monitor audio. For that I'd recommend a decent pair of studio reference or near-field monitors connected to the analog audio outputs of your DV device.

  • LCD display for graphic designer/photographer

    My Mac Pro two 2.26 GHz Quad Core should arrive in a couple of days. I'm now in the process of choosing a 22"-24" LCD display monitor. As I am not attracted to the Apple 24" display's glossy surface, I've narrowed display choices down to these:
    1) EIZO CG222W 22.2" Widescreen LCD
    2) NEC MultiSync 2490WUXi 24.1" Widescreen LCD
    Anyone using or know anything about either of these? I understand they are popular with graphic artists and photographers, but I am particularly interested in learning of any compatibility issues with the early 2009 Mac Pro/OS 10.5.6. NEC's support website notes possible compatibility issue between its 2490WUXi SpectraView II calibration software and OS 10.5.6.
    If I chose the NEC model, could I use another calibration software/colorimeter with it instead? If not, then I would just go with the EIZO.

    just got my two 26" NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi2 and hooked them up to a new nehalem mac pro with a radeon 4870. the monitors work perfectly. all i can say is wow. the color accuracy out of the box is great. the brightness uniformity is incredible. the blacks are really black and the whites are perfectly white. i've owned two 23" apple cinema displays and two 24" led cinema displays in the past, and these NECs look much better. very professional.
    i do have two gripes with the 26" NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi2. its cased in some sort of plastic. the base is made from the same material. i'd rather have an aluminum casing and base like apple provides. the other grip is that there is a lot of flex where the actual panel attaches to the base. its a bit wobbly. this i don't like at all. they could have done something better with this. otherwise no other problems to report.
    but all in all, the image on the screen is so good, that i won't complain anymore from this day forward. an absolutely stunning image on these screens. love em'!!

  • LCD Displays for T20, T21, and T23

    Have three T20 and T21 laptops with bad mother boards and good LCD displays.  Have two T23 laptops with good motherboards and blank LCD displays (but work great with an external monitor).
    Can T20 and T21 LCD displays be removed and installed and operate on a T23?
    Thanks!

    Yes they are swappable.
    Just make sure that resolutions match, namely, if you're installing a XGA screen from a T20 into a T23 which had a SXGA+ LCD (not all of them do, run the model numbers on Lenovo's site) you'll have to use the appropriate LCD cable and inverter.
    Good luck.

  • What is best way to get LCD display for Mac mini?

    Just got Mac Mini but when I connect it to my Samsung LCD the display quality is crap.  What is the best way to get HD resolution, (maximum quality) from this set up?

    Thanks,
    I did try all of the settings on the LCD display.  It is 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.  Built in 2011 by Samsung as a HD TV, computer monitor and audio/video combo.  I just let the Mac mini select the appropriate settings when I did initial startup last night.  I It came with an HDMI to DVI adapter which (to me) implies I need to get the male end of the DVI adapter to connect to the 9 pin (PC input).  Current HDMI is working but just not the "wow factor" that I expected from the Mac mini.  Compatibiltiy issue of some kind; input/output, settings, software update, or user error   Was trying to avoid getting a new monitor.

  • Replacement LCD display for AIO

    HP Omni 120-1034 fell forward on the desk, and the LCD display is cracked. The pc is out of warranty so I want to replace the screen but need to find the part number  and a source for the part itself. Any suggestions welcome, I'm findin the HP support site less than helpful so am turning to the forum. Thanks so much.

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Maybe have your screen replaced by Lenovo Support. Replacing a tablet LCD can be tricky maybe.

  • What's a good LCD display for graphics arts and print production needs?

    Hi all,
    It's true that the good ol CRT displays in the past were the best. They have the Trinitron tube and had clearity. I'm looking to purchase an LCD monitor that'll come close to a Sony CRT monitor and can handle my graphics art projects. Any thoughts and direction is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Web dude

    CRTs are dead. Please just let them die...
    Funny you should say that. I just bought a brand new Philips 22" CRT (for AU$260). I decided to take that path for another few years after looking at the Cinema displays (23" and 30") and noticing severe discolouration at shallow viewing angles (like when you sit closely in front of the monitor to compare three photos side-by-side). Interestingly, the 24" iMac screen doesn't have this problem.
    I can't afford or justify the exquisite Eizo LCD screens, so I got the CRT (the best Philips ever made) and couldn't be happier. I've got plenty of space on my corner desk, btw.
    Cheers
    Steffen.

  • Which LCD display for better colors?

    I know most of you would prefer a CRT monitor for better colors but what are the options if i choose an LCD/TFT display? I tried and returned two LCD monitors in past and i don't want to waste more time and money. I heard Eizo ColorEdge series have good colors but they are way expensive. any ideas?

    Nevermind... After some research, I bought two Dell Ultrsharp 2209WA monitors. These are e-IPS pannels and are far better in colors and viewing angles compared to the ordinary TN pannels. IPS pannels are expensive but worth every penny ...

  • Alternative to using SUNMC for hardware monitoring on Solaris 8, 9, 10

    My manager is asking me if there is an alternative product available to using SUN MANAGEMENT CENTER to monitor hardware on older servers running Solaris 8, 9 & 10. We have ASR in the environment for the new servers and that will stay for at least the short term.
    We have some old hardware on the account that I support and there is little likelihood that we will be moving to Solaris 10 on these older servers to use the follow-on product (name escapes me).
    What else is out there for this purpose?

    I believe the product which the name escapes you is Ops Center???

  • Changing iBook display for external monitor

    does anyone know how to change the screen resolution past 1024x768 on an iBook G4 12 inch? I'd like to set it at 1280x1064 on my 19 inch monitor, but its not an option in the displays preference page. Does anyone know a way around this?

    There are a few ways the display resolutions and/or settings can be
    changed; you can use custom controls offered by some applications
    and there also are unsupported "hacks" that can add features or
    resolutions not originally intended by Apple for certain models.
    So, since some choices (if failure results) may void your warranty,
    some people are reluctant to use an unsupported feature hack.
    That said, one of the better sites with a product that seems to be
    well crafted (which I have not tried) is SwitchRes X
    Another less polished and maybe more on the edge (?) is one that
    adds the ability to expand the desktop between two displays and
    not just mirror; such as the PowerBook supports. That may work,
    or it may not. Some hacks may be bad on the video card.
    Extended Desktop
    With the second display attached to the iBook, you may be able
    to use one of these utilities listed to add features and resolutions.

  • Spare parts - LCD display for HP OMNI27

    Hi,
    2 years ago I bought a HP Omni 27-1000eb, about 3 months ago I noticed some troubles with the 27" display (non touch).
    It starts buzzing (comes out of the bottom of the screen) and then shuts down while the PC continues functioning normally.
    I have to (hard)restart the pc to use the display again otherwise I will never get the screen up and running again. It seems like the display fails to stay on, or maybe a malfunction.
    Display drivers and graphic drivers ok.
    Does someone know about this problem?
    Should I replace the display? if yes...where can I find such a sparepart.
    regards

    Hi Rick,

    Hex-STRING: 0A 90 E0 21 04 89Yikes! Yes the default traps are a mess. If you just want to get it done (or have something running properly in parallel while you figure out the raw traps)... install EventAction and the Generic SNMP Framework Adapter:
    http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/EventAction/index.php
    http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/Frameworks/index.php
    This will give you human readable SNMPv1 traps (that include the same status messages you see in SunMC) in a defined format:
    http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/Frameworks/help/HALAdapterFrameworks-details-h.html
    ...and a MIB you can feed Nagios or your trap receiver. It will be on your SunMC Server here after you install the Framework Adapter:
    /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/HALAdapterFrameworks.mib
    As a bonus if you use EventAction you'll also have the option of bi-directional integration. So if you set up an acknowledgement action in Nagios it can reach back into your SunMC Agents and turn the alarms off there as well.

  • One 30" or Two 24" Displays for Logic 9?

    Hi, would it be preferable to have one 30", or two 24", LCD displays for Logic 9 use specifically?
    The views, or windows (not sure what Logic calls them) will be mainly for audio/midi tracking, audio/midi editing, VI tracking and mixing of rock music. I may occasionally also need to tweak an effects plugin during mixdown.
    I understand Logic can take advantage of dual displays. Can it have the "track" window on one display and the "mixer" window on the 2nd display?
    Thanks for your advice!

    Yeah - I'd have 2 x 24" over 1 x 30" anyday (24" is pretty big anyway). As SC said, you can have your mixer etc on the other one and you can permanently see what's going on. Also you can send movies to the other screen which is great if you score to picture. Definitely take time to set up screensets, it'll speed up your workflow massively.
    I've just set this up myself and I'm very pleased with it apart from the fact that at the moment, I open a plugin from the mixer and it opens in the other screen. Not sure why it's doing that but I'm sure there'll be a workaround (any ideas sampleconstruct?).
    Anyway, go for it.
