Monitor profiles for 17" flat screen

I've been moving Macs through our 3 systems to make way for a new Mac Pro and have hooked up a G5 to a flat screen 17" Apple display. The colours look really dark and contrasty, when I go to Calibrate the screen I receive the message that there is no Profile for this monitor to calibrate. I've looked through the lLibrary and the System for a profile called 17" flat screen or LCD in Colorsync but see nothing different from what is in the System or Library on this G5. Is it possible to download Profiles from Apple?
I should have a CD that came with the monitor, I'd have thought, but I dont.

Oh boy.. Hi, and welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums - I hope we can get you straightened out.. First, we'll need a bit more info on your system - what kind of Mac is it, what's the speed, memory and all that pertinent stuff.. I see from the profile you have that you're running Puma (OS X 10.1), which may make things a bit interesting.

Re: Monitor profiles for 17" flat screen

On my desktop, my icons no longer function. When I put a DVD in it does not play even though I can hear the dvd. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem.

Status profile for the selection screen ?

Dear Shymal,
The link of thread which you sent have this line status profile for the selection screen for QA33 and QA32 . I don't users ti get those lots which are having status LTCA.
Now how can i do this? Can you explain me?
Regards,
Kaushal Rai

Dear Kaushal,
It is written in that reply status profile, is just a slip of mind/Fingers only. We can say a typographical error. I hearty apologies for the same.
Now a accept my regret and pls find the rectification herewith.
That is "Selection Profile", to create rather I can say configure it,
- Run trx BS42, create new profile, Name it Logically.
- Double click on the "_Selection Conditions_",system will lead you to the screen named Change View "Selection Conditions": Over View.
- Here Enter the LTCA, in the Fourth Column "STATUS".
- Click on the check box under Sixth column 'not'.
The settings should be as.....
1st Column,,,Link :- No Links (Blank0
2nd Column,,,Usr:- Don't check this box.
3rd Column,,,St.Prof.:- Blank
4th Column,,,Status:- LTCA.
5th Column,,,Status:- Lot canceled
6th Column,,,not:- Check this box.
7th Column,,,Status:- It will be 'Active' by default.
Now SAVE.....
Now in QA32, pick the section profile you just created.
Let me know if it don't work.

Can't use another monitor profile for OD user

Good day to all! There is a problem: In the network 4 Mac Lion clients with tablets Wacom and Lion Server with OD. Customers get the server security policies that impose some restrictions on them. Limitations are associated mainly with access to the system configuration, control for external drives and flash drives. Currently, restrictions on access to configuration screens available. However, users without administrator privileges can not change the current profile displays all the time is reset to the default profile. It may be necessary to give access to the policy to change the profile to register it manually? Thanks in advance!

I have to say, I am in exactly the same place ppshr150 is. I have checked both Quicktime and Quicktime Player preferences and the option to choose a default screen for full-screen presentation of movies does not exist.
I can drag movies over to the second monitor and then press Command F and they will play there but from a presentation perspective, this is rather unprofessional.
It surprises me that Apple does not have this option. Or is it a bug they haven't/won't fix?

External monitor not working on flat screen imac

I'm useing a new mini-VGA to VGA adapter part number M8639G/A and though I have tried two different displays, one mac, the other an old pc, neither worked. Any ideas? The mac help says it should just come on once I turn on the monitor. So I'm guessing that it's not like the old days where you had to pick which monitor was you first and which one was your second monitor.

Hp w2207 monitor flip to vertical flat screen problems with display with Microsoft Vista

The screen has vertical and horizontal lines that flicker and when I turn on the monitor, I can do boot menu, setup, and other computer check utilities, but when I boot up the Microsoft Vista software the screen goes blank.
Have checked the cables and power - are ok. Audio is fine.

It seems like the display settings of the pc are not equal to the requirements of the monitor.
Can you see the boot menu (bios)?
Try to boot in safe mode first.

Adding a Flat Screen Monitor as a 2nd Monitor to an Integrated Motherboard/Video

Hi,
I am using a GeForce 6150SE nforce 430. It is integrated into an MSI motherboard (K9N6PGM2 v2) using an AMD CPU. The motherboard only has one VGA plug. What are my alternatives for adding a DVI plug for a flat screen monitor to run at the same time as my VGA monitor?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

onboard unless its a very new skew wont use 2 monitor outs only one so like XFM sead you need a dedicated GPU (graphics card) that supports 2 screens out or greater!
most graphics cards from 2005 onwards support multi-monitor outputs. i always recomend a dedicated card over intigrated anyday, as they have more processing power and better features then the basic stuff on a cpu or intigrated GPU!

Photoshop CS5 still chooses wrong monitor profile in dual monitor case?

The folk lore has it that if you go to EDIT/COLOR SETTINGS and open the Working Spaces RGB drop down, then what it says near the top on the "Monitor RGB" line is the monitor profile that photoshop is actually using.
If that is true, then I would expect that if I run photoshop on my monitor 1 it would show the profile of monitor 1, and if I run PS on monitor 2 it would show the profile of monitor 2. But in fact, it always shows the profile of monitor 1. Naturally, this creates anxiety that PS is using the wrong profile to display my images, since I normally run with the image on monitor 2.
My setup: Windows 7 64-bit, PS 12.0.1 x64. Matrox M9120 graphics card driving two monitors. Windows CONTROL PANEL/COLOR MANAGEMENT shows a different profile active on each monitor.
(By running photoshop on a particular monitor, I mean I run photoshop, drag it in non-full screen mode to the desired monitor, and close it. Then I run it again and it starts on that monitor (including the splash screen).)

Emil, Sorry, I disagree. It relates entirely to how Photoshop handles profiles, not how the operating system does.
Windows operating system doesn't handle color profiles at all, but it provides all programs that do with the same way to handle them. If you have the color profiles of your monitors installed properly in the system, they will be equally available to all programs. If a program can use properly one color profile for one monitor it will do the same with more.
PeterFacey wrote:
I also have CorelDraw which is a colour managed application. If I set that straddling two monitors, do you think it will use the appropriate monitor profile for each half? I don't know, ...
I don't have CorelDraw and don't know if it is color managed, but if it is and if the color management on your system is working properly it should give you the same result as Photoshop. Just go ahead and check it - open the same image in Photoshop and in CorelDraw and make a screen capture then measure the RGB values in Photoshop or any program that displays the RGB numbers of colors. But have in mind that a screen capture from multiple monitors that share the desktop will capture the entire shared desktop on one image (if monitors are different sizes it will leave blank areas around the smaller one depending on the alignment), but the same colors will be the same on the entire screen capture using the effect from the color profile only of your main monitor. So if you want to measure how the other monitor displays the RGB color values of the same color, you have to change it to your main monitor in your system in order to have the screen capture with the effect of that monitor's color profile.
On my computer using Windows 7, all color managed programs show the same colors on one or more monitors. Along with the color managed programs from Adobe like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and AfterEffects, the other color managed programs like Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, Firefox, QuickTime, etc also show the same RGB values of a color from each program on a certain monitor.
Basically, if the color management is working properly, the same color displayed from all color managed programs should look the same or as close as possible on each monitor, but when you capture the screen and measure the RGB values they should be different on each monitor unless the monitors are physically identical which is unreal.

DVSP 16x9 Display on Flat Screen

I’ve read a few posts on this theme, but I want to confirm that I have explored all possible options.
Here’s the deal: I shoot HDV (16x9) > FCP>Compressor >MPG-2> DVDSP. On a SDTV, the DVD puts out a picture that is letterboxed and the quality is fine, no problems. However, when I play the same disk on a blu-ray player with a flat screen (wide), the system automatically gets rid of the letter-boxing and shows my footage in full-screen (wide). At this point, there is no problem with aspect ratio. But, the problem is that by getting rid of the letter-boxing it blows up the original 16x9 video and I start to see mosaic-like block pixels.
I’m aware of previous threads pointing to automatic player behavior.
So, two questions:
1) On a wide flat screen, I would rather have a smaller video frame, even if it is letter-boxed AND pillar boxed, so as to hang on to a better resolution/pixel quality. Any way I can do that?
2) For wide flat screen viewing ONLY, is there a way for me to squeeze the original 16x9 in DVDSP (or Compressor) in such a way that the player will un-squeeze it, hence not blowing up the 16x9 image?
Thanks,
mp

David,
Thanks for your post.
1) I have checked and there is not a single combination of Player/Monitor setting that prevents my DVD from being displayed in full-screen 16x9, which blows up the letter-boxed section of the video and magnifies the pixels to a level that is not acceptable. The Blu-ray player and the flat screen monitor are both brand new, so this is not the case of “outdated” gear.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not blaming Apple or anybody else. I’m just trying to find a solution to my problem. Maybe there is a script within DVDSP that would avert this automatic display?
2) I was just throwing in the idea of the old anamorphic system (squeezed in the media > un-squeezed by the player.)

Using ICC Monitor Profiles

Hello,
I produce ICC RGB monitor profiles for use with Photoshop using an Eye One Photo. Can FCP, or other software, translate those profiles so I know my LCD monitor is displaying color and contrast accurately for editing with FCP? If not, is there a better way to set up a LCD monitor than using Apple's standard calibration?
Thanks,
Drew Harty

It will never have the accuracy that an external video monitor will have. The gammas don't match those that a TV set produces... if you really want accuracy you need an external Video monitor that includes a blue only button on it. Colorists would insist on a CRT.

I need to reset the monitor profile. It is being overiden and too dark

Something is overiding the color profile upon start up. After migrating files from one macbook pro to another, the same corrupted startup monitor profile is making the screen dark, on one user profile. The other admin profiles are fine.
I bought a new computer because I thought the monitor was going bad. But now it appears that it is a startup color profile hidden somewhere. I have deleted the Color LCD-4272040.icc profile many times. It keeps coming back on the corrupted user library, so this file is generated globally with every log in..
Where is this overiding file? it needs to get trashed.

I need to add, this "startup "profile" is placing the overall color ramp in 'front" of the calibration, therefore you can not set the monitor back to a factory "no profile" setting. producing a new color profile does not work. VERY frustrating

Which Color profile for softprofing to print to Apple's book services?

I'm looking for a simple, specific and official answer as to which specific ColorSync profile should I choose for 'Onscreen Proofing' in Aperture? My intended output is Apples Print Services (Hardcover book).
I've crawled the web looking for this simple answer with no luck.
It seems to me that this profile (ie an accurate characterization of Apple's Printing Services) should be at the top of the list (in View/Proofing Profile/). Instead all I could find are discussion forums which hint or guess as to which profile to use.
Alternatively. It should be documented in the manual or the "How to create great looking books?" articles something like: "If you are going to order a book from Apple, then choose the sRGB profile for onscreen proofing. Apple's services are calibrated to this profile and guarantee consistent results". <-- Something like this appears nowhere!
So again. I'm printing my books ($$$) on Apple. Which Proofing profile should I choose?

Not sRGB, argghhh -:)
In a colour matching conversion, you have a source colour space (in this case, your ICC type MNTR Monitor profile for your RGB working space) and a destination colour space (in this case an unknown ICC profile, probably of type PRTR Printer).
Your aim in the ICC architecture is to capture into and correct in as large a source colour space as is necessary to contain the colours you can render on the largest colour spaces of displays, printers and presses. This excludes sRGB as source by definition.
The sRGB colour space is the colour space of an HDTV cathode ray tube. This colour space cannot hold colours a lot of output devices can render, including the pure cyan of an ISO 12647 offset printing condition on art paper, and for inkjet sRGB is even worse as source.
Open the Apple ColorSync Utility, select sRGB in the RGB profiles list, click the Disclosure (triangle) icon in the CIELa*b plot, and select Hold for Comparison. Then pick an inkjet profile in the RGB profiles list or a large gamut offset profile in the CMYK profiles list, and turn the 3D graphic to see what can be matched directly and what can be matched only by reshaping the colours.
PDF printing masters can either have only the source ICC profile(s) embedded or both the source and destination ICC profiles. In the former case, the colour matching is done at runtime and you have to wait to see what prints.
In the latter case, you embed the destination ICC profile as OutputIntent and submit PDF/X-3. Since you are allowed to embed either type PRTR Printer or type MNTR Monitor profiles as OutputIntent, and since both are bidirectional for printing as well as for proofing, you have a contract proofing condition.
But in order to work with PDF/X-3 you need to know enough about rendering intents and gamut mapping behaviours that you don't set the wrong rendering intent per object in the page. So a runtime rendering workflow ensures that you get to draw to the maximum gamut available in the printing service, without giving you advanced controls.

Photoshop Elements 11 - 'Monitor Profile Defective' Message

When opening Editor in Photoshop Elements 11, I get the warning message "The Monitor profile 'Dell S2240L Colour Profile, D65' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software".
I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and also had to download DirectPlay when opening PE 11. Before upgrading, PE11 worked fine for over a year on same desktop and monitor (both only 1 year old). Driver monitor is up to date.
Please can someone tell me the possible cause and my options. I have seen lots of posts on this and other forums but not sure which is the right answer. Could 8.1 upgrade have caused it by changing a setting or is that just coincidence? Would re-install of PE11 make any difference?
Would appreciate help as this is infuriating (also happened on my old desktop with earlier version of PE)!
Thanks.

PSE doesn’t like your monitor profile, for some reason. It would seem that either your monitor profile is defective or PSE11 cannot read the monitor profile, now.
Try changing it to sRGB and see if the message stops:

New Monitor Showing Different Colors - Monitor Profile?

Hi All, in need of some help. I got a new Acer monitor and I am having three issues. The first is when I open photoshop I ger the following error: "Monitor Profile ACER S232HL appears to be defective. Please return your monitor calibration softwear." Then it gives me two choices, to either "Ignore Profile" or "Use Anyway". I've tried both and they both make the images appear differently. What do I do? Thinking about following directions I found here: http://virtualmcube.com/hardware/how-fix-monitor-profile-appears-be-defective-photoshop-er ror-message
Number 2 is that when I open the same file in PS, LR, online and in the picture viewier, the colors all look different! HELP!
Number 3 is that my images in LR seem way over saturated.
When I first plugged in the monitor I was using HDMI and I was told that would be the best. When I ran into the above trouble it was reccmended to me that I use the DVI. The DVI did help to get richer blacks, but didn't help anything else.
And just for a control group, I plugged my old monitor back in and everything is fine, but I'd like to use my new one! HELP! Thank you

Canned monitor profiles are notoriously inaccurate or outright defective. Unless you want to go all the way and calibrate/profile with a third-party package, you're probably much better off just using sRGB, and that's what happens when you click "Ignore Profile".
It's the same solution in the link you posted, only more convoluted.
Number 2 is that when I open the same file in PS, LR, online and in the picture viewier, the colors all look different! HELP!
Number 3 is that my images in LR seem way over saturated.
Come back if you still see this with sRGB as the profile. In general Ps and Lr are both fully color managed and will use the full monitor profile for display. Most other applications are not, so this is not entirely unexpected in itself.
When I ran into the above trouble it was reccmended to me that I use the DVI.
Shouldn't matter. The two are fully compatible and the digital video signal is the same.
