LCD screen, eyestrain problems?

I've been considering getting an iPad 2 or a Kindle DX to have my college textbooks on and to use an ereader. It would be nice to have the extra features of the iPad and it would be easier to take to class than my laptop, however, I was wondering about eyestrain and reading on an LCD screen. I get eyestrain from paper books, mostly from the black and white contrast. The Kindle sepia option seems to improve my reading, so if the LCD isn't too straining, this may help my reading. Can anyone share how difficult/easy it is to read on an LCD screen for extended periods of time?

Hey, just now I found a C/NET forum saying that LCD monitors aren't affected by the magnets in unshielded speakers. Good news for me because I really like some funky unshielded speakers I've gotten used to.

Dirt behind LCD screen - common problem ?

Hi, I recently bought a toshiba EQUIUM A60-181 and I'm
experiencing a problem concerning the LCD screen.
There appears to be a defect or dirt behind the glass
because it's blocking light from a pixel. Any attempts at
apply moderate pressure to move this dirt has failed. I was
wondering if it's common with LCDs to expect some kind
of imperfection I cannot believe this has passed quality
control. Do i have justification for having it sent back
to toshiba for fixing it's only just 1 week old ??
I've read the warranty booklet and there's no mention of
dead pixel return policy can anyone elborate on what is
and what is not covered by the warranty ??
cheers,
Richard.

I've emailed Toshiba technical support to see where I
stand with regards to my problem. Having discussed this
issue with friends on IRC it appears I may actually have
something called a dead pixel. This is suppose to be quite
a common problem and some manufacturers can actually sell
you laptops with defected LCD screens which to me is criminal.
Ive searched the entire Toshiba website with the regards
to dead pixel cover policy or what the warranty does and
does not cover. I understand that to replace the screen is
gonna cost Toshiba loads of money but I would have never
bought this laptop if I have been warned that it may
contain defects in the screen. I can tolerate most things
like noisy fans harddrives and scratches but not problems
with the screen especially one thats brand new.
cheers,
Richard.

Problems after replacing LCD screen

I fell over and cracked the screen to my ipod nano 3rd gen. (also broke my arm but that was easier to fix!). Ive just bought a new lcd screen for it and followed all the directions on how to install it. The problem im having now is it all appears to be connected right but the screen just flashes white to black and beeps. It was only recognised on my laptop as "no name" not as an ipod. Could someone please help and let me know what i have done wrong? Before replacing the screen my ipod still worked perfectly. Thanks in advance!

Thanks man. I will take a look at it later on tonight and see what happens. From my understanding some of these LCD's have the airport built-in or is it the antenna? I think mine is one of those, But it looked like the antenna just runs on the side of the casing for the LCD display which is still intact as I only removed the actual LCD screen. I'm gonna see if the connector is in fact not pushed in all the way although I never touched it.

Screen display problems, LCD?

I bought an iPhone 5 six months ago from Roger's Wireless and I also paid for the application of a screen protector, for a long time both of these worked very well and I had no problems. The other day I put my iPhone into my locker at work and came back a few hours later to find that two spots had appeared on the display. One was near the top of the screen and it looked like a dis-colored splotch while the other one, that was near the bottom of the screen, looked like someone tried to scratch the screen with a dull object . When I turn off the display and examined the outside of the phone there is no scratches or any other physical damage to the phone, I think it may have something to do with the LCD screen. Also, my locker was locked so I know no one was fooling around with it although humidity or something could have played a factor but I'm not entirely sure. The spots are relatively small but pretty annoying, before this my iPhone was in perfect shape . I'm not sure if I am covered by the one year warranty because my phone may have water damage (although I am not sure). I remember a few months back dropping it into a deep pile of snow and when I took it out it was pretty wet, but still continuted to work perfectly find. Regardless, I'm pretty sure thats accident caused the water damage indicators in my phone to be set off . I looked all over the internet and there is different ways of taking off the actual LCD screen and replacing it yourself but I think I would much rather get this done by a professional. I have also heard that the spots may go away eventually. I am not sure if I am going to send my phone in right away but any help at all would be awesome. Thanks!

Do not attempt to work on your iPhone yourself, doing so will result in Apple refusing all further support for you. Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar or Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. Water damage will result in an out-of-warranty status...replacement will be $229 in the US for an iPhone 5.

Lenovo T410s LCD screen problem

I've got a problem with my LCD screen on Lenovo T410s. Everyting worked good so far. Today I wanted to check another LCD for that model which I've got. So I dicsonected the original LCD, and conected the second one to check. After I saw that the second one worked good, I disconected it. Then I conected again the original one and started the laptop. Unfortunately when it started, the screen didn't shine good - it's very dark. I disconected the one and tried back the second LCD, but again the second one shined very bad. Can anybody tell me what could happened? It looks like the inverter is demaged, but I don't even know where is the one inside that model. Please give me some advices
Solved!

These fuses are extremely tiny and not meant to be user-replaceable.
You'd have to pull the board out and start measuring them one by one until you find an "open" one.
No clue where exactly these are on a T410 board.
Good luck.

Major Problem - LCD Screen Unreadable - Using External Monitor - First Aid

My LCD Screen is cracked, and only 5% of the screen is readable, and I dont have the resources to have it repaired, so have been using an external monitor to do my computing needs.
However, somehting happened to the OS X, and it MUST be repaired according to Disk First Aid. Putting the CD, and I want to force the output of the CD to be put on the external monitor, not the LCD since I can't read it. How can I make it show on the external monitor?

Hi Chef
Insert your System CD an select it as startup volume in "SystemPreferences"/"StartupDisk". Restart your book and close the lid right after the chime. Voilà, your external screen should be main screen now.

Help! Problems with LCD Screen.

My iMac's specifications are below.
Recently, I've noticed that there is this large patch of the screen which is covered with white bubble-like drops. I've tried cleaning the display, but it looks like they are under the screen. You cannot see them when the display is displaying white or other light colours. When displaying black or darker colours (even when the display or computer is off) one can see the drops.
I'm not sure if it's because of something I did or what, but I want to know if I should take it in for repair, or if there is something I can do (It's still under warranty).
Here are things I suspect:
My iMac is usually under constant sunlight. It's not directly facing my window, but it does get hit my light. But I haven't heard of sunlight ever damaging an LCD screen.
The drops seems to be in some areas, but not all. Which is why i doubt it's something I have done.
When you get close to the screen, you cannot see the drops anymore. Also, when you are at certain angles, you cannot see the drops. This leads be to believe that a certain amount of light is need to see the drops, otherwise they are too faint.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello Kuro
Take it to the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center, they can remove the glass panel over the display and clean or replace it if needed.

MSI MEGA PC 651 - LCD SCREEN PROBLEM

Hi to anyone reading this!!!
My MEGA PC 651 has now started to show a malfunction on the LCD screen. Only parts of the LCD is showing and the back light flickers. I am desperate to fix the machine as everything else works fine apart from the screen! I've had the machine a while now and really don't want to have to get a new system for the sake of the LCD screen malfunctioning on an otherwise perfectly working system!
Also, I am happy with everything it does and it is perfect for my needs!
I've contacted MSI directly, although understandably, they no longer have parts for this machine - (
Can anyone tell me where I could get a replacement screen/board from or if just the screen can be replaced. I've had a look and can see the lcd screen fixed to the board and isn't removable - well, it is, but you would have to know what you're doing?!?!?
IF ANYONE CAN HELP, I WILL BE MOST GREATFUL!!!

S90 LCD screen problem

My S90 LCD screen turns off by itself within a few seconds to about 30 secs. All the other camera functions work while the LCD is off. When I turn the camera off and turn it back on, the LCD comes back on but goes off again. I have checked the auto screen time off and I have set to 2 or 3 mins. But this does not affect the screen time going off by itself. Is this a camera LCD malfunction or some other electronics inside going bad? Obviously this is out of warrenty. Hate to have to spend couple hundred bucks to have this fix if you can buy another camera for a little more. I have also a S50 model that I had to change the LCD screen before when it went bad. Any ideas I can command the LCD on my S90 ? TIA

I am sorry to hear that your PowerShot S90 powers the LCD panel off in about 30 seconds. If you have it set to something other than this is the Menu, then there is likely an internal issue with your camera. If this is out of warranty, you can consider sending this into the Factory for evaluation or participate in the Canon Loyalty Program.
This program allows you to replace your current camera with a refurbished Canon Camera for a discounted fee, and have it shipped via Second Business Day delivery. The refurbished unit offered through this program carries a 90 day warranty. The original non-functioning camera would then be returned to Canon USA for recycling using a prepaid shipping label that would be provided. If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department at (866) 443-8002 seven days a week, 8am to Midnight.

My LCD screen burned out. I have it connected to a tv now, but can't get the menu bar or the function bars to show up. Please help!

My LCD Screen burned out, but the computer still works. I currently have it connected to an HDTV via, Mini DVI to VGA, VGA to VGA on the tv. Problem is, I can't get the function bar (maybe not the right term) or the bar at the bottom with all my programs on it. I get my screen saver and have managed to drag (by sheer luck since I can't see anything on my iMac screen) some of my pics I had on my desktop over, but nothing else. Please help!

Hello
you should have on your key board "mirroring key" , or F7 on old keyboard
for now your tv is an extended screen for your imac not a miror , so you can not see menue barre on top of screen

How do i connect an ipod lcd screen to a zen visio

My zen vision m lcd screen recently cracked and after getting the full run around and reading up on the net, I bought a 2.5" lcd ipod replacement screen for $0 off of ebay. I really don't watch much movies so the quality doesn't really matter as long as I can see my music and audiobooks. So here is the problem:
They both have 32 pin connectors that attach to the 32 contact ribbon connector, but the ipod ribbon is about half the size of the zen's.
I would like to connect the new screen and have a couple of options.
. connect the ipod screen ribbon to the zen's ribbon, then connect to the player.
2. somehow solder the ipod connector to the motherboard directly
3. solder the ipod connector to the casing on the motherboard
Problems:
. I don't even know if the connectors go to the same places, therefore don't know if it will work even if I do figure out how to do so.
2. I have no idea how to go about soldering ribbon connectors because the wires are so close together.
3. Any solder job that I could do would probably preclude me from putting everything back into the player.
If anybody has any ideas (other than buy a new one or pay the ridiculous $20 to fix it) your help is much appreciated and will probably help a whole mess of people.
Thanks in advance.

Lenovo U310 LCD Screen Backlight Won't Turn On.

I purchased a new U310 near the end of August this year, using it primarily to bring with me to school. However, I've been having a problem with the LCD screen backlight. Typically, when the computer starts up, the backlight will be working fine. However, once the computer goes into powersave mode and shuts the display off, often the backlight to the display will not turn on again regardless of if I press keys or the touchpad. These are some things I've noticed:
The display IS still on. I can still very faintly make out the desktop and use the system, but the backlight is off completely
This issue does not happen all of the time, but is still quite frequent
Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and then waking it solves the problem, but not all of the time
Sometimes the backlight remains off even after a forced power off (holding down the power button), but typically a restart solves the problem and enables the backlight again
Adjusting screen brightness has no effect
This happens regardless of the battery level and whether or not the system is plugged in
Although this issue has seemed more prevalent recently, it even happened on the day I bought the laptop, but I just wasn't yet aware it was a reoccurring issue
I've been able to recreate this issue, in fact I was just able to make it happen twice in a row. First time the display went off and didn't turn back on, I restarted. This even repeated the next time the display went into powersave mode, so I restarted again. The third time the display went into powersave mode, I was able to turn it on again simply by touching the touchpad (as it should be).
I think that about sums up what I know. I apologize for making such a long post, but I'm thinking I can't be the only one with this issue. I'm new to the community and couldn't find a similar post anywhere on the forums. Since I infrequently use this system, and the issue has been there since I got it, I'm assuming it must be a driver problem. If anyone has any insight or is experiencing similar problems, I'd be glad to hear! I thought I'd post before contacting Lenovo directly. Thanks!

I suggest you please uninstall the energy management software, reebot and install it again. You will find the setup of energy management in drivers folder in the drive named lenovo ( maybe E or D). Please give it a shot and post results.
