LG 32" LCD Opinion

Hey can I get some feedback on the 32LG30 TV. I'm thinking about buying one. I have the samsubf 32" LNa450 but I am not impressed by the tuner that is in the TV. My converter box picks up more stations than the digital tuner in the tv, USING THE SAME ANTENNA.

Most experts believe that the human eye has a difficult time discerning the difference between 720p and 1080p resolution on a 32" TV. However, most 1080p LCDs also have other features that can produce a better picture, such as higher contrast ratios and better video processors.
The real test is to just look at them side by side and make your own determination whether they are worth the higher price.

T43p LCD replacement - vendor opinion

(I'm not sure this is an appropriate place for this question, so please excure me if it's not and let me know of the appropriate place for such a post if possible). Does anyone have experience with "laptopscreen.com" (vancouver laptop)?
Thanks,
Bill

First of all, I'd never trust a screen supplier that has the resolutions wrong...1024x768 on a 15" T43p???? Are you kidding me? And there's a "glossy" option? Are these people for real?
What's the screen size of your machine, 14" or 15"?

How to connect Satellite P100-429 to a LG LCD TV using a VGA?

Having problems connecting my laptop to a LG LCD TV using a VGA cable, the TV keeps coming up NO INPUT

In my opinion you use wrong port. I am not 100% sure but I believe you have S-Video port on notebook and use this port to connect your notebook to the TV.
You need just the right cable. When connected enable S-Video port on TV.
Generally speaking the same is with VGA port.
Has your TV VGA port or you use some adapters?

T400: Replace CCFL lamp or whole LCD?

Hi everybody,
So my CCFL lamp on my T400 has pretty much died. I'm pretty sure it's not the inverter card due to the pink hue towards the bottom & the (lowering) hissing noise before the LCD shuts off. First noticed it would die pretty soon when the screen started flickering on dim settings.
At first I started to look for LCD assemblies (I have the Samsung panel one, LTN141WD-L05) , then told myself-dumb me! why not just replace the lamp (or both, since we there) since my LCD's doing just fine.
But then some people versed in laptops in general (but none had ever changed CCFL lamps before) told me I was better off changing the LCD assembly all together, since replacing the lamps is apparently a daunting & nerve wracking task. I'm not scared myself in replacing the whole LCD-I've change the LCD cover of a previous ThinkPad before and have disassembled this one countless times, including changing the CPU heatsink/fan unit-although never reaching the point of removing the LCD bezel (I did came close, when I had to check the hinges-but that's another story). And then, I don't think CCFL lamps are FRUs, and the HMM sure doesn't go into that territory.
So, my question:
Has anybody ever changed CCFL lamps in a ThinkPad/other laptop? Is there even a guide out there ? (I'm still searching around for one)
Oh, and by the way, yes, my T400 is out of warranty (bought it in 2009, extended warranty expired in 2012)
Another detail: I live in Montreal, Canada, and I'd be happy to have it done by some local shop that would have competence in this. I mention local, because if I had to ship it I think I'd rather buy & have myself shipped a whole LCD unit instead. So I'm supposed to call tomorrow to my local Lenovo service center & a few approved service provider (from Lenovo's website) to inquire about their prices **and** turn-around time (again, if it takes a month I'd do either one of the repairs myself)
Thanks in advance, any feedback will be appreciated.
Edit: There's actually only one CCFL lamp in the LTN141WD-L05.
ThinkPad T400 (2764-CTO): Windows 7 64 SP2 / T9400 2.53 GHz / 8GB RAM / 14.1" WXGA+ (1440x900) / ATI Radeon HD 3470 + Intel 4500MHD (switchable) / 320GB 7200rpm / DVD±RW / Intel WiFi 5300
Past models: T40 (2373-PM1), 760C; other brands

Hissing comes from the inverter. Redness from the CCFL. Both must be replaced.
Having changed a CCFL myself on a T30 many years ago I swore never to do it again, and would advise everyone else to just flip the screen or an entire assembly. The chances of introducing dust specs between the LCD layers in the process of swapping the bulb are just way too high for my liking, and that's only one of the problems.
Secondly, Samsung screens are in general a horror show to change the CCFL on, regardless of the generation.
Lastly, T400 panels are rather inexpensive nowadays...
If you insist on a guide, here's the best one there is, at least in my opinion:

Good luck.

Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.
Ngwangwa - Six Million Ways To Die Choose One

A lot of users with white screen after lcd replacement!

Hello!
So i have a macbook air with a broken hinge.. replaced the screen assembly as in the guide on ifixit. All ok, but after replacement the screen is white with light vertical stripes. Now i have done some research and found out there are a lot of users with the exact same problem but none with a solution.
I think the reason why the screen turns white (most of the times) is because of the lcd modelnr en most importantly versionNr! The lcd model of the macbook air original is: B133EW03 but there are 4 versions of this screen: 0,1,2 and 3 respectively. In this link (page 3)http://www.ttsystem.ru/data/B133EW03_V1_Others_0204.pdf you see V1 is an upgrade of V0, in the way that the EDID codes have changes and so the OS has to send different codes to the lcd for it to 'understand'. I couldn't find the exact changes in V2 and V3 but i'm guessing it could be similar.
So my question is could this be possible?? is it possible or does anyone know you need the exact same lcd screen (model en version) when you replace your lcd screen?
Another very strange thing is that my macbook air shows some discrepancies:
The bottom case of my macbook air says A1304 and the serialNr off course. But the motherboard shows the A1237 model..Step 14! (In this ifixit guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Air-Models-A1237-and-A1304-Displa y-Assembly/855/1
Also OSX gives me the data:
MacbookAir 1,1
1,8ghz core 2 duo 64gb ssd (which isn't a a1304 model..)
but the same SerialNr!
When i check the specs online using the serialNr i can see it's made in week 50 of 2008.. in my opinion it's impossible it's a a1237, because apple introduced the a1304 in october 2008..

I had the same problem with the LCD after replacing hinges and could not figure this out.
To solve the issue, I bought another A1237 of eBay that apparently had no HD/SSD, but it arrived with a swollen battery. I removed the bad battery and replaced and moved SSD over and "Voila"...it amazingly light up...........

MBP LED LCD Gradient Test - Software or Hardware issue?

Hello!
I've noticed some of the discussions around the new MBP's LED displays, and some people having issues with not-so-smooth gradients in LCDTest 1.1 or 2.0.
My current, new, SR 15" MBP sports a darkish bar in the green area of the gradient, and a solid one in the red corner, when using the default color profile. That is, the gradient does not have all smooth transitions between colors. Switching to one of the (very blueish) sRGB-like profiles, the gradients display just fine and as smooth as they should. Weirdly, using the LCDTest 2.0's feature to display the gradient using Quartz, the gradient is completely smooth even with the default color profile.
As this issue also shows up in the color picker of applications such as Photoshop, where it is - in my opinion - prohibitive, and because I would much rather use a decently calibrated profile than simply a blueish-looking one, even considering that it is only a laptop LCD, my question, now, is:
Is this an actual hardware problem that can only be fixed by replacing the LCD itself, or is it possible that there will be a software/firmware upgrade published by Apple in the near future, to amend it?
(Note: I am not referring to the yellow-ish tinge mentioned by some users here, I am only talking about the issue concerning the smoothness of the gradient.)
Any ideas or actual insights?
MBP 2.4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I'll say it differently: I doubt we can do anything about it, because it's obviously a problem with the LCD technology. I think we have no chance to push Apple into using 1440x900 15,4inch LCDs from some other manufacturer.
After all, the specs say "support for millions of colors" and not "actually viewing millions of colors".
If you need a color-perfect working environment, you actually have to use a calibrated external display. You can never fully rely on any notebook LCD.

FrameMaker and LCD Monitors

Hello,
Just wanted to get your thoughts/opinion(s) as writers in using FrameMaker on LCD monitors. Specifically, I've used word processing and desktop publishing programs on CRT monitors for years. I've never had any problems whatsoever. Recently, my employer provided me with a 20 inch widescreen LCD monitor. I'm now having a difficult time with it because of the higher resolution (e.g., headaches and the like). As you all know, a lower resolution only distorts or stretches desk on LCD monitors (which is why I guess I've avoided these monitors for so long). Please note, I have bad eyesight and wanted to see if others may have ideas to address this issue. I've given the monitor two weeks and things haven't improved. I'm just concerned/frustrated because I know the world is going in the direction of LCD monitors.
For a solution, I've thought about a square like LCD monitor; maybe at 17 inches to address the problem. But I'm wondering if I'll still be at the mercy of the native resolution. Just to let you know, I've tried all the display scenarios to address the problem (i.e., appearance, settings, dpi) without success. Just miss the 800/600 resolution I had in the past due to my bad eyesight.
Any ideas or thoughts are most appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.
Paul

Paul...
Here are some ramblingthoughts on your issue. They expand on the good advice you've already received, and thus do not dispute what others have said.
Make certain your drivers for the graphics card are the latest and greatest. This is the first step you should take. You probably have already done that. If not, go do it. But check the next paragraph first.
If your graphics card has a DVI output, by all means use it. If it doesn't, opt for a different graphics card, preferably one with two DVI outputs, known as a dual-head graphics card. I address this again below.
Life is too short to drink cheap wine. It's also too short to spend a professional career working with inadequate computing resources, especially when you consider the cost of the capital outlay versus the salaries and the wasted time fooling around trying to make things right. If your employer has artificial limits on spending, go make a business case for better gear.
You already seem to understand the concept of the monitor's native resolution. High resolution monitors are best for image processing, when programs like Photoshop are used to edit photographic images. For text-based work, they're the wrong way to go, as you've discovered. Part of the problem is that many web pages and all operating systems seem to be stuck with a one-size-fits-all set of icons, menus, page sizes and the like. With Windows, you get two choices of text size, but those choices don't apply to all text instances and only in the operating system, not in the applications that run on top of the application. So driving a high resolution monitor at its native resolution results in tiny text, icons and the like. I get some email messages that I cannot read because the very popular marketing company that creates them uses what must be 4 point typefaces.
I have dual 20.5" Samgung monitors with 1600x1200 native resolution on two of my workstations. They're beautiful monitors, but I would trade even-up for the same monitor with 1280x960 native resolution. One thing that's nice about LCDs, by the way, is this. If you get ones that pivot clock- or counter-clockwise, and many do, you can easily run them in portrait mode by rotating them and changing the settings for the driver. My FrameMaker workstation has one monitor set to landscape orientation and the other to portrait mode. Try setting a 17" CRT on its sidegood luck!
LCD monitors will ONLY look their best when the image is displayed at their native resolution, or perhaps in some cases, at a submultiple of the native resolution. For example, a 1600x1200 monitor might look OK when the graphics card is set to 800x600. In my case, that makes the icons and windows appear too large, though. Something in-between is best for me. I doubt, however, that you have a 840x525 choice, but if you do, try it.
Sheila asks about your video cable. An LCD monitor *should* be driven by a graphics card with a DVI (digital) output. Otherwise, the signal must be converted to analog (VGA) and back to digital for display purposes. Since the image is inherently digital to begin with, converting to analog video and then back to digital has its obvious drawbacks. I'm not sure if a modern graphics card can properly identify the connected monitor though a VGA cableit's been so long since I used a CRT and a VGA card that I've forgotten.
A CRT monitor also has a "native resolution" based on the pitch of the phosphor triads and the shadow mask in the tube. Because that was an analog interfaced world, and CRTs are relatively "soft" compared to LCDs, the effects of non-native scan rates and resolution settings were not as troublesome or as obvious as they are for LCD screens. Once you get the settings right on your LCD display, though, you will NEVER consider going back to a CRT display.
It's probably too late to lobby for this, but if I were you, I would strive to get a "dual-head" graphics card, one with two DVI outputs, and put two identical monitors side-by-side. Once you've experienced a dual-monitor setup, you will never be happy with just one screen.
Setting the graphics card resolution for a 16:10 aspect ratio in any other than the native resolution of the monitor will result in "aliasing" artifacts, which may be what you mean by "distortion." The simplistic way to describe the aliasing effect is that some elements of a character inevitably fall in the "cracks" between pixels. When the image resolution setting matches the native resolution, the video data from the card "lines up" perfectly with the pixels, giving the most accurate representation. The other type of distortion that you may be referring to is due to a mismatch of the aspect ration associated with an image resolution setting versus the aspect ratio of the screen. In such situations, a "truly" round circle would appear elliptical on the screen. This is what Winifred is describing. You cannot expect acceptable results with any graphics card setting whose resolution aspect ratio is , relative to the display, mismatched. You must use a setting that corresponds to the 16:10 ratio.
Another way to understand the artifacts associated with aliasing is to imagine viewing a checkerboard through a piece of wire fencing with a square pattern laid on top of it. When the size of the squares in the fencing material are the same as the checkboard squares, you can make things line up and see all of the checkerboard. If the screen wire is a different size, then there's no way to place the wire over the checkerboard without covering some of the squares with wirethat is, unless the pattern in the fence is twice the size of the square, ot four times, and so on.

Display string to LCD TV

Hello.
I need help again. This time about : How to display string from LabVIEW to LCD TV? I have two LCD TV, and want to show some "string1" cycle from LabVIEW to first LCD TV1 and "string2" cycle display to LCD TV2.
Any idea?

Simple, eh?
Yup and if you have a laptop you want to use which doesn't have 3 outputs, look into a low cost USB graphics card. The cheap ones aren't good for streaming HD video but work well for normal PC use.

Acer - 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor

The link to the product:
Acer- 19" Widescreen
Under "Whats Included" it only says:
Acer 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor
Owner's manual
Does that mean a power cord, and the cord to connect it to your computer isn't included, since its not listed under Whats Included? Or is it just a given that those two things are included, thus they dont waste time writting it out.
Hopefully I can get an answer before this deal goes away!
Thanks

Of course they do
There are no manufacturers that would sell monitors without the required things to run them!
The only exception is printers or television where they always make you buy the cables ...

X121e, LCD

Hi there all,
this is my first post as for the first time I own a "ThinkPad". This is so cool device. I love color, keyboard,slim design etc. But as we all know nothing is perfect and no exception here - which is horrible TN display I got with in my laptop. Its just a disaster!!! I can't see any other people's posts about it, maybe I am different here.
I checked my system with HWINFO 64 and it gave me some information about LCD I have:
model: LEN40D1
Monitor Name B116XW03 V1
From this monitor my eyes are stinging from 30 minis of use. I can notice very well some vertical line across the whole screen. Colors and contrast are awful not to mention viewing angles. I also user 10 incher asus 1005p which has far more better LCD and its a netbook!
I would like to ask a question here: HOW this is possible that lenovo is installing such a crap TN RUBBISH in this laptop. its is such a nice device that i really like but unfortunately I am after creating RMA for return. Very disappointed with the product ((((
Can anyone share my opinion?
Thanks

I don't think Lenovo will do it. Generally, they swap same for same.

Max screen resolution LCD Satellite pro M10

hi, sorry for my poor english, my question is:
The max internal LCD resolution for the satellite pro M10 notebook is 1024x768? excluse te superior resolution with scrolling?
I Have read in the tecnical specific of my notebook that the internal max resolution is 1280x1024 is not really?
thanks

Hi
As far as I know the display resolution depends on a display controller
I found this information in the user manual. The following models are available:
-14.1 XGA with 1024 x 768
-15.0 XGA with 1024 x 768
-15.0 SXGA+ with 1400 x 1050
-15.0 UXGA with 1600 x 1200
I think in this case your unit has a 14.1 or a 15.0 XGA display controller. Well, in my opinion its all right with your notebook. Enjoy it :)

DVD Quality - LCD vs. PLASMA

How come DVD quality is different on a LCD than on a Plasma. I tested my DVD that I made using iDVD6, and on a LCD the quality is acceptable. Then when I play the DVD on a Plasma display the images appear very bright...almost unrecognizable.
Please help...do my original images need adjusting. How come the images are extra birght? I am handing out this DVD to many people and I need to make sure compatability isn't going to be an issue.
Thanks in advance for the help guys!
Eddie K

Hi Ed,
<Spock mode on>: well, one monitor shows correct content, the other not... what is in both cases identical? the dvd. so, pure logic exclude the dvd misbehaving, doesn't it...?
<Spock mode off>
it is easy to create ugly looking DVDs with iDVD (as long as the input is "ugly"), but as long as your TFT shows acceptable results, why should the dvd been authored wrong??! the few tests I remember told us, iDVD does a ... good job (not exciting/tripleA/GoldenStandard...) but for a consumer product with that much convenience.... excellent.
did you calibrate both displays? (that is a long and boring process....)
you did in both cases use the same dvdplayer with same connection?
how do commercial dvds behave with both monitors?
in my humble opinion, Plasmas are often "mis-adjusted" (too much contrast, much too much colors... what do I say, COLORS!!! )

Differences in LED and LCD screen

I would like to know if anyone can actually tell the difference between the LED screen on the 15 macbook pro and the LCD screen on the 17 macbook pro.
I know Apple says there is no difference in brightness or contrast between the two. I believe they only claim there is a difference in battery life. That said even their VERY optimistic numbers show only a 15 minute difference between the two (figure in the real world that may be 10 minutes)
I thought someone had told me there was a very noticeable difference in both brightness and contrast of the LED screen (that it was very noticeably superior)
I can only take two things from this. Either:
1.) It is a placebo effect because they EXPECT the 15" to look better . . .
or
2.) Apple does not want to openly say the 17" screen is not as nice as the 15"
I have note been able to see either, but I am going to purchase this week online and this is a very important factor for me. Can someone please shed some light or opinion on the subject? Does the 15 look better than the 17? When they say LED will last "longer" than LCD, do they mean the half-life of the bulb is longer? etc.
Thanks everyone,
Kalel

Sorry I never know how to refer to the difference between the two. So the different backlighting does help with color, but overall brightness and contrast are not effected?
I have a Macbook and occasionally I have trouble reading it (When my eyes are tired) so I am looking for the brightest screen with the most contrast. I would prefer a larger screen (17) over a smaller one (15) all else being equal, but if there is any contrast or brightness increase in the switch to LED then I am more than happy to give up a little size for it.
It also looks like the 17" may have a slightly higher dpi in it's standard resolution (WAAAY more in the HD res)
Have you had the opportunity to view these screens side by side?
You mentioned that an cfl bulb burns out faster than an LED, I know this is many many years for each, but I would like to know if this will delay the screens "brightness" dropping over time. My macbook is about 18 months old and there has been some drop off in total brightness the screen can produce.

Has anyone used the Acer X223Wbd 22" Wide LCD Monitor with their MBP?

Good afternoon,
I'm currently thinking about purchasing the 22" Wide Acer LCD monitor to hook up to my MBP, so I can have a bigger screen to render graphics and play games on. I was wondering if there is anyone else, who has experience with this product, that can give me their opinion about it. My financial budget is about $200.00, so I need to find the best monitor for my buck. I have read some good reviews on it, but I'm not sure if those individuals had used it with a MBP. I would appreciate any useful information that anyone can give me. Thank you.
AMMOCAN

Thanks J, that's a nice find. I've tried it and it seems to be working seamlessly. As you said, I cannot confirm any multi-touch support and the price that they are asking is certainly not in the private end-user range. Fortunately, according to the terms of use for the evaluation, you only need to calibrate after every 100 touches to keep the driver working indefinitely.
Terms of Use:
TERMS OF USAGE
This software is supplied for evaluation and test purposes only. For use in production systems, driver licenses are required. Please note that click emulation will cease after 100 touches and a calibration or reboot is needed to gain another 100 touches.
This would appear to be a nice work around until acer decides to distribute a Mac driver or someone develops a cheaper alternative.
