MBP 15" GLOSSY HIGH RESOLUTION VERSUS MATT HIGH RESOLUTION

All: Buying a 15" MBP. Typical needs:email/Web/Pages etc but I am a painter and will be viewing a lot of art work: paintings/prints etc. Video/film is not as important than what is mentioned.
Also I will not be doing any graphic work.
Because I am in a wheelchair and I can not get to an Apple Store/ thus buying online.
Whats your opinion of the Glossy High Resolution vs the Matt high resolution for my needs..... much thanks for your help

Welcome to the forums!
Besides replies you will get here consider searching within the forums as this question comes up often it seems.
When I got my current MB Pro 15" I was skeptical about the matt screen, but when I got to the store and compared the Hi-res glossy next to the Hi-res matt I found that there really wasn't a difference in color, sharpness or overall clarity between the two. I must disclose however that I do have some vision issues. But as for color accuracy and brightness there was no difference, so to me it came down to choosing matt as it provided the additional advantage of glare reduction.
FWIW I think the standard configuration MBP glass (glossy) screen units look nicer than my matt screen model. Plus I suspect they are easier to keep clean being one flat glass surface. But for function I'm happy with the matt.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION TO A HIGHER SETTING

How do you change the resolution to a higher setting with a macbook pro?

hey
this is nice post acctually i was looking for the same..
thanks for sharing...

Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

When trying to project video from their Win 7 laptop, the CTS1300 TP unit states that the resolution is too high

Hi,
Have a customer who advises as per the discussion title :-
When trying to project video from their Win 7 laptop, the CTS1300 TP unit states that the resolution is too high
It has worked fine up until the upgrade to Windows 7
Customer advises colleagues can connect and project OK at another site, using Win7 laptop, however that site uses CTS3010 and CTS1000 and, as yet, it is unconfirmed which they used to test on
I could raise a case with TAC but wondered if anyone knows of any issue with Windows 7 and the CTS1300
Many Thanks
Nigel

I've had issues with Win7 laptops before, but it all depends on the model of the laptop, and what it's display is capable of, and whether the end user is using it in desktop extension / duplication / remote only mode, etc.
In most cases, switching it to the 2nd screen only mode fixes the issue, and worst case, rebooting it while it's set this way, and it's connected, fixes the problem.
So, from my expereince, it's pretty well always a problem wtth the laptop/user, and very rarely (if ever) a problem with the TelePresence device.

Replace the Glossy Screen with the Matte Screen on a 2008 Macbook Pro?

Can you replace the Glossy Screen with the Matte Screen on a 2008 Macbook Pro?
Where would I get a Matte Screen for a reasonable price if I could change it?

There are a number of issues you should consider before embarking on this project.
1. If you have a late-2008 unibody MBP, you are undoubtedly aware that there was never any anti-glare option offered for that machine. So there is no anti-glare display that was made to work with it.
2. If you choose to replace only the LCD panel and not the entire display assembly — which is probably feasible but involves a great deal of painstaking work — you will also need to buy (separately) the aluminum bezel that takes the place of the glossy cover glass panel in models that came equipped with the nonglare screen. The bezel covers and protects the edges of the LCD and the delicate electronic connections there, and hides all that from view.
3. If you go that route, you will have to make sure that the cabling related to the display you are installing is identical to the cabling related to your original display. This means checking to make sure the cable lengths, connectors and routing both within the display assembly and hinge cover and within the lower case of the computer are all the same.
4. If you choose to replace the entire display assembly with one that contains a nonglare LCD, you will have the entire, intact glossy display assembly available to sell afterward. If you replace only the LCD panel, the LCD and glass cover panel that you remove will have much less resale value and are likely to be much harder to sell at all, because you won't practically be able to offer any warranty with them and because there are probably far fewer people willing to tackle the fussy, risky display disassembly process than are willing to replace the whole assembly as a unit.
5. Even if you choose to replace the entire assembly, you will need to verify that the cables dangling from the replacement display assembly are the right lengths and have the right connectors to tie into your lower case properly. Because the assembly will have come from a later MBP model than yours, cable routing and connectors may have changed from one to the other.
If this all sounds more daunting than you were expecting, you may want to consider just applying a nonglare film to the glass covering your present screen. If you aren't happy with the results, you can fall back on the replacement option.

High GUI Time - Causing high Response time

Hi All,
Average GUI Response time is approx 400 ms in my ECC 6.0 system, OS - HP UX, Database - Oracle 10.2.0.5.
I expect it should always be approx 200 ms, but as it is high it is contibuting to high overall response time.
I expect there are normally two ways of high GUI time :
1) High network time between Presentation layer( User System) and Application Layer(SAP Server).
2) High amount of time in Loading User Screen
For Option 2 I have checked we are using SAP access menu so there should not any problem with loading of User Access Menu.
Average Response time for session_manager is 2 Secs.
Please suggest me what all other ways available to improve GUI time,
Can there be other reasons of high GUI time and how can we make sure that high GUI time is only because of high Network time.
Please suggest.
Shivam

I believe in case you have multiple roundtrips per step, then the client performance comes into play as well. So if you have slow clients this could be an issue too.
Basically you are already looking in the right place (network connection), but i recommend you also check:
- roundtrips per step and amount of data sent to the client
- are all transactions having high gui times, or only a few?
- how is the situation on the clients?
- if you have clients working on prod and qas check the values on the qas system too

Can you tell me why you don't think its a good buy? Someone bought it that must have thought it was a good buy? You?!!!
I had a macbook pro, spilled an entire latte on it. Cannot afford to drop another 1500 on a new one. I understand the air is a great machine. And for someone that is hard on equipment (aside from liquid!) with no moving parts its a better option. This one is priced at $929 - good?

SyncmasterAS850 with MBP 13" How may I get the high resolution

I have got a new Samsung Syncmaster S27AS850. I would like to use it with its full resolution of 2560 x 1440. I would like to know how this may work with a dual link DVI adapter and a Macbook pro 13" mid 2009.

SwankPeRFection is right . Turn off mirroring.
Once you turn off Mirroring you get the arrangement pane:
The sizes of the tiny screens are proportional to the number of pixels.
The menuBar can be moved to either diplay, and the screens can be dragged around to any reflect their positions on your bench. My son puts his big screen up on 4" blocks, and opens the laptop below it for maximum screen area.
Stay away from "Full Screen Mode" while using multiple displays. It is taken from IOS, the land of tiny screens.

Report resolution (96DPI or higher than 96 DPI) in regards to image quality

We have discovered that the default rendering mode for reports in WebI is 96 DPI, even though the SDK seems to allow more flexibility than that, so we are wondering if there is some hidden option to cause WebI to render content at a higher DPI.
The specific problem we are having is in regards to some images that render very poorly at 96 DPI in our reports. We can render them at a higher DPI (say 300 DPI for better print quality) and then allow them to be scaled down using the "Stretch" option, but the quality is not nearly as good as our imaging software, and the solution does not work in HTML mode. So that's not an option.
To be honest, I'm surprised about the way things work in this regard, because we should be able to produce high quality images in our reports. 96 DPI is never used for final print quality work. At least InfoView has an option for CrystalReports to render at 120 DPI, but I'm not sure if that only effects the display or not, and if it automatically adjusts offsets that were calculated at 96 DPI when the report was designed.
If we could somehow determine the display mode in a function (e.g., print versus display, or get the DPI, or PDF/HTML/JRP, or something), then we might be able to use a different image (each rendered at a different DPI) depending on the mode. That would be an odd workaround, but if there's no way to change the resolution, this would be great also.
Any suggestions on either front? We need these images to display with at least a "normal" print quality resolution.

Please refer to SAP Knowledge Base Article 1307814 - File size is disproportionately large when Web Intelligence 3.1 report with charts is saved to PDF format .
Pasting the resolution details below:
For WebIntelligence version XIR2
Install BOXIR2 Service Pack 4 FP 4.10 : in this release, developers have given the option to edit the DPI setting.
To solve this problem, change the resolution to 96 DPI in the webiviewer.properties file at the following location :
<ApplicationServer-Webapps>/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/WEB_INF/classes/ webiviewer.properties
For BOXI3.1, the DPI setting remains as default 300.
To solve the problem edit the DPI value in this xml file under the pdf section where the comment says you can edit in the path :
<installed directory>\win32_x86\config\bobjserver\caching_media_profiles.xml
2. Restart the servers
Note : Take necessary back up of the files before doing any changes. Also any new patches if applied, you might be required to re-do the changes to the respective files. Please edit the files carefully ONLY under the sections which says you can edit the DPI Values.

Making low resolution pictures look high

Hello guys. I am new to this forumn and this is my first post. I am pretty good with Photoshop. I use Adobe Photoshop CS3. Here is what my question is. I have a rather low megapixel camera (4 mpx) and I am wondering how I can get my photos to appear like they are of a higher resolution like these ones.

Thanks ahead of time!

Oh and also, how can I reduce skin redness. My camera tends to pick up on the redness of peoples skin and it really makes the pictures look poor.

These kinds of application-specific questions should really be posted in the Photoshop forum, but here goes.
There's really not much you can do for a low res image, but 4 megapixels at the highest quality setting should be more than adequate for the web, and should allow printing at wallet size, or a bit larger, on a desktop printer. Photoshop can upsample, and there's a program called "genuine fractals" that does a good job, but don't expect miracles.
Most professionals would deal with your skintone issues by adding a curves adjustment layer and using the gray eyedropper to set the neutrals. If that doesn't work, you can also use a variety of other techniques like a hue/saturation layer along with selecting the skintone or using a layer mask. This is more complex than time and space allow here, but you'll find a lot of good information in a number of books or online tutorials.

A New MBP (and one for the road: any highly-recommended external drive for.

If I order a new MBP 17" for architecture and planning grad program, will SL come installed on the machine? Is SL considered a whole new OS or jut an update to Leopard? I am not even sure I am wording the questions correctly, so I apologize if I am not. I stopped at Tiger because the Leopard OS looked a bit too intimidating for me back then but I think I can deal with it now. Is it a big set-back that I did not learn how to use Leopard and now I am getting SL?
thanks for any help in this area.
I will throw this out there. I also need a decent but very heavy duty external hard drive to use for the work done with CAD. Any recommendations on a top-of-the-line heavy duty external hard drive? I guess the case is the main thing but the drive should be able to take some extra abuse because I baby the MacBook Pros but sometime the external drives get the abuse. I think USB2.0 is good enough for what I need.
Thanks Again

I would imagine that you could turn up good and bad reports on any drive. I have been highly satisfied with my 3 LaCies, two dating back to 2004. And, LaCie has very good phone support.
I use only clones and drag and drop for data changes between clonings. If I had to choose one method of backing up, then I definitely would use this process. Still, one can take a dual approach other than mine. The idea is to have a clone, which is updated fairly recently, to serve as a fail-safe, system backup, and restoration device. And, one could still use TM for day-to-day backups because of the flexibility it allows in moving backwards in time to retrieve data and because it updates automatically frequently. I want to experiment more with TM. So, I will move to this sort of dual system in the near future--as soon as I figure out which partition on my main external I can do without.
For cloning, I like SuperDuper because it has the ability to make incremental clones--thus, shortening the recloning process significantly. CCC is good, but I have never used it. Actully, Disk Utility is a highly respectable cloner, but it does not have as many options as the others, including not having the ability to make incremental clones.

Does iPad change the resolution of a high res photo?

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
Anyone know if this is really true? And if yes, what the "impact" might be?
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process, I should reconsider.
Thanks.

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
It doesn't.
The original file from the camera is copied to the iPad and it is not modified.
When you connect the iPad to the computer, you can then copy the original to the computer.
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process
Nothing is lost from CCK to iPad to computer.
When syncing photos back to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536.

MBP with 10.6.8: CPU usage high, no responsible processes shown in Activity Monitor. What causes this?

After using my computer for some time, CPU usage climbs to about 90% (ca. 65% user / 26% system) and fans run at high speed, but there is no processes that seem to use CPU (other than Activity Monitor itself ~1%).
This has happened a few times recently. It happens when I've used my computer for some time, hours or a couple of days (I usually put my computer to sleep when not using it but rarely shut it down). I've tried to quit all running apps incl. Growl, Dropbox, and anything that could be responsible to this but with no results. Putting computer to sleep for a long time doesn't help, cpu usage will climb instantly after wake up. Restarting system is the only thing that helps.
Most of the time I use my laptop with external monitor, lid closed and connected to power supply. When experiencing this, opening the lid causes fans to slow down, but CPU usage remains high and battery drains quick.
Any ideas what might cause this?
My MBP is 15" model with Core 2 Duo 2,66 GHz (MacBookPro 5,3), OS X version is 10.6.8, all available updates are installed.

Perform a SMU reset.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Remove the anti-virus, it's running a root level process all the time that's taking your CPU and it's not necessary as there are no Mac viruses, Apple has the trojan angle covered already.
Always on anti-virus on a Mac is always a source of problems, also is MacKeeper, uninstall that here if you have it.

If you need to clean the Windows filth off PC files, then use the free, run as you need, ClamXav.

It seems your machine is used in a corporate enviroment, thus likely a rule that anti-virus must be used, you can avoid high CPU usuage by using the ClamXav instead.
