Monitor for IMac is Faded and Blueish

What is causing my faded and blue tintish display right now?

Hi Jay,
It could be something as simple as a bad preference file. Try setting up another user account, log in on that new account and see if the problem is still there.
If that fixes the problem, you can transfer your details from your old account to your new one. Do not delete your old account until you are completely happy with the way the new account is running.
Cheers!

  • How to use Macbook Pro 17" as a second monitor for iMac?

    I have a new iMac with Lightning connector and USB. And I have a Macbook Pro 17" with Firewire and USB. Is there a way to connect the Macbook Pro to the iMac and make it into a second monitor for my iMac?
    Thanks!

    Your welcome, wish I had better news. You may want to look over Apple's FAQ on the subject (Target Display Mode) you can find it by clicking http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924

  • VGA monitor for Imac Snow 600mhz

    Hi, I have a imac 'snow' model and because I use a lot of spreadsheet applications, wanted to attach a larger monitor. I have purchased an Xerox XM3-19W monitor and attached via the rear VGA plug and all is well except for the sharpness of image. I have tried all of the prefs settings but still not good. The monitor is as follows: screen size: 19'' , Technology: LCD , Brightness: 300 cd/m² , Contrast ratio: 500:1 , Dot pitch: 0.28mm , Maximum refresh rate: 75Hz, 1440 x 900.
    Can anyone please assist?
    regards

    Peter, 
    An LCD display is only really sharp when operating in the native-resolution which in this case is 1440 x 900.
    Unfortunately the iMac G3 can only mirror it's internal display to the external display. This means that the iMac is only pushing a 1024x768 image out of the VGA port. The external display is taking this image and stretching it to it's panel.
    Unfortunately the bottom line is that although you can connect a really large monitor to the iMac it won't actually give you any more working space; just the same space displayed larger.
    I guess it might be time to look at a refurbished Mac Mini.

  • Dual Monitor for iMac 21.5"

    I'm looking buy a second monitor for my late 2011 21.5" iMac. I was looking at the Acer H226HQL (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-H226HQLbmid-21-5-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B00B07RA6E/r ef=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1373627515&sr=1-4&keywords=monitors+21.5%22+hd mi).
    Not sure if it would make a huge difference because the iMac's height is 10cm more than that of this Acer monitor. Would it be a nuisance or won't it make that much of a difference?
    Thanks

    Back in the mid 90s I had a 17" display that I thought was heaven but as DTP and graphics software became more powerful I decided I needed a second display but when I went looking I found my display had been discontinued. The second display was also 17" but it was about 5 inches taller. I liked it better but I found it disconcerting that they weren't vertically aligned. A couple old college text books solved the problem.
    More recently I received a nice HD LCD display from my wife when she upgraded and it was maybe an inch shorter than my iMac. That didn't bother me at all. The display itself is 2" larger than my iMac and that didn't bother me either. I sometimes connect my notebook to the LCD and then the size difference does bother me so I only use mirroring with the notebook.
    If the height difference bugs you, cheap out with a few books or go the classier route with a little shelf to raise the LCD. Or, find a display that has an adjustable height.

  • Additional monitor for iMacs

    I haven't bought an iMac yet, but am considering it. My one question is whether or not an additional monitor can be used with an iMac, to split the desktop.

    Ok for someone who has only had am ibook g4 for the past year and a half I need english on this one. I do not possess the technical vocabulary for this.
    I want to by a desktop mac or more specifically an imac G5 but the main things my next mac has to do is allow me to have dual screens, wireless everything (keyboard, mouse, printer, and internet). I first wanted to dock my ibook and get teow monitors and everything but found out I can't do that. So what should I buy ?
    Specifically which mac will do all these things for me? I am now inlove with mac and anything Apple so I want to continue using their products. Please help

    Any 802.11 b/g/n or 802.11 b/g WiFi router will work. Any router can be configured by a Mac. While some now ship with fancy configuration software that attempts to mimic the easy setup of an Apple base station, they all can be configured via a web browser. My own preference is NetGear.

  • Which dual monitor for iMac 21.5" 2010?

    Hey guys,
    I've had my iMac 21.5" 2010 model for a while now, but now I would like another monitor.
    It must be:
    -Around 21.5"
    -Preffibly LED back lit
    -Black and/or aluminium
    -Connect to my iMac
    Do any of you have any suggestions for good dual monitors. Currently I'm not looking at the Cinema displays.

    Back in the mid 90s I had a 17" display that I thought was heaven but as DTP and graphics software became more powerful I decided I needed a second display but when I went looking I found my display had been discontinued. The second display was also 17" but it was about 5 inches taller. I liked it better but I found it disconcerting that they weren't vertically aligned.

  • Best 2nd monitor for iMac Intel 20"

    A few months back I stumbled upon a great article comparing Apple and 3rd party monitors that could match up well with the iMac Intel 20".. of course I can't find it now that I'm using actually using this iMac. I'm curious to hear your experiences/views on 2nd monitors that match up well for this specific computer. Thanks

    There is a MiniDVI output port on this iMac. Simply purchase one of the following adaptors and configure the dual display in Apple menu > System Preferences... > Displays. (The options appear when you connect the display):
    Mini DVI - DVI
    Mini DVI - VGA
    Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
    DVI will also certainly provide the best picture quality but the exact choice of display depends on your budget and intended usage. For example budget LCD displays are inappropriate for work that requires colour accuracy.
    Your iMac will support displays with the following resolutions:
    Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
    Analogue resolutions up to 2045 x 1536

  • Best, lowest price monitor for iMac

    Thanks

    Thanks Rudegar.  The problem is my iMac covertoer went away and I cannot afford to have it replaced but I though a moitor would do.  Live in USA.  Nearly blind and need a monitor I can see (lighter screen needed).  Looked at Dells and they seem to be OK but so do a lot of them.  Only need a 20-22" screen.  The plan is to get a moini mac eventually (desk space i a premium around here) so would need a monitor that is good for thaty too.  Hve all the periferals I need and just need to have a good monitor to put in place.

  • 2 external monitors for imac?

    Is it possible to connect two external monitors to the new 2013 IMAC?  If so, how?

    Yes, one per thunderbolt port.  Of course these displays should support either DVI or HDMI with 1080p minimum if you want the full effect.  VGA is analog, and only gives you 4:3 screen ratios.  mini-Displayport to DVI and HDMI adapters exist.  HDMI has built-in audio support.

  • Using a MacBook as 2nd monitor for iMac?

    Hi. Got a shiny new 20" iMac with the 256MB graphics. I understand this unit can drive an external display without too much stress via the mini-DVI out. Question is, since the household is getting a Macbook soon anyways, and I'll only occasionally need a 2nd-display, is there a way to use the Macbook as a second 'dumb' monitor, simply displaying whatever is being fed to it by the iMac?
    Thanks!

    Hi Duckman54: Congrats on the new Mac(s), but unfortunately the MacBook has no video input capability. You can however use another 20" monitor with the iMac.
