Monitor Question: Misleading and Confused

I'm looking to buy a new HP monitor, I just had a few questions whats the difference between HP 25bw and HP 25xi Monitor?
I was interested in this monitor for the gloss screen and crystal clear images they can produce. Having read a review on CNET, the reviewer stated "the 27xi has a heavy AG coating" (Anti-Glare coating), why the hell have a gloss screen at all if you're gonna AG coat it? Anyone with this monitor can confirm this?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
The following links show the two:

xi: http://www8.hp.com/au/en/products/monitors/product-detail.html?oid=5374016#!tab=specs
I don't like glare/gloss screens. AG screens will make my eyes see/watch better. You may perfer gloss screen. Manufacturers have to make products for dozens tastes.

I cannot receive calls, though I am able to send them. I see similar questions here, but no solutions that have worked. If Apple monitored this community and provided answers, it would be helpful. My next phone WILL NOT be an Apple product.

I cannot receive coming calls. Calls do not go into voice mail and the greeting is not my voice or the default greeting. This appears to be a common problem, regardless of carrier. If Apple cared, they would monitor the forums and provide answers when possible. Several people I know are replacing their iPhones with other devices. My next phone WILL NOT be an iPhone. iPhones are not worth the price.

Go back and read the term of use you signed up for. There is no Apple here in this user to user forum.
The ability to make or receive calls fall on the phone carrier not Apple or iphone.
Suggest you contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.
Also stating that your next phone won't be an iphone, doesn't mean anything here, we users don't care what phone you get next.

SIlly NTSC monitor question

This may be a silly question but,
When viewing footage on an NTSC monitor, my footage looks quite different than it does in FCP on the computer screen. If I do color correction just based on the NTSC monitor for DVD output, will that DVD look the same once played on a regular DVD/TV and played on a computer's DVD player?
I ask because when I'm viewing footage on my NTSC monitor, it looks way different on my computer screen and I want my DVDs to look good whether they are played on a regular TV dor though a computer's DVD player.
Thanks

Now you've done it-- opened a whole can o' worms. Lots to consider:
Is your monitor truly a monitor, properly calibrated and set up? Will you be looking at the dvd on the same monitor? Are all the sets to be used for playback set up the same?
The idea of a properly calibrated monitor is that your show should look the same on your monitor as on any other properly calibrated monitor. But that's as far as it goes. There's no accounting for anyone else's tv set. Often manufacturers paint them "hot" and then people crank them even more to overcome less than ideal viewing conditions. So you're doubly hosed from the moment is leaves your hands.
The best you can do is create a show that looks good on a properly set up system and hope for the best.
But don't just rely on the monitor-- learn and use the scopes too.
And then there is the current manufacturers situation with monitors themselves. The industry is in a mess right now, transitioning to lcd-- none of which look really good. I hope Zebulon chimes in here-- a professional engineer who will tell you horror stories if he's in the mood.
And back to your original concern, do not trust your computer monitor in FCP for accurate color or much of anything else except your edits.

Dual monitor set up and problems/solutions?

I have just started to do event photography using 17" MBP running Aperture 2.1.3, a 23" ACD and Nikon D3 with Elinchrom DLite4s and printing to a Mitsubishi CP9800.
First event when very well, but as anticipated it threw up some problems. Some I'm probably just being dim about but I thought I would pose the questions anyhow and see how we go?
I tethered the D3 to the MBP which was displaying through the ACD so the punters could see nice big images… but this meant my colleague (who was shooting) got no preview of what he had shot. We overcame it by him quickly spinning the monitor to look see for positioning purposes.
I messed around a bit with some of the tethered options and found it easier to have the Auto-select uncrossed so that when punters were viewing I didn't keep losing their selection to each new picture taken (obvious I know, but it took me a short while to work that out).
So what I want to know is… is there anyway to have the preview only on the second monitor and maintain ALL the functionality on the first display?
In other words, so that we can cross Auto Select on the Tether HUD, he then sees every new image as he shoots it on his monitor (the second monitor that is, turned to face him 24/7), whilst I can use the MBP display (or maybe an additional ACD) to select images, edit and most importantly print (as that is where the dough comes from) without affecting his display.
I've managed to get it functioning so that I have the Main Viewer set to Browser Only whilst the Second Viewer is set to Alternate. This gives me exactly the look and layout I need, except when I click on an image to either edit or pint, it comes up in his display also?
Sorry for the really long winded explanation there.
Or is it something I'm doing wrong with the D3 and the USB set-up - I thought there was only one way that could be configured???
Would appreciate any help you can as next gig is on Thursday - lots of 16 y o girls in posh frocks
Regards

You have a choice to make.
You can use two video outputs on the video card or the single video output on the motherboard. You cannot use both.
I suggest using the DVD output on the video card and an adapter in the HDMI output on the card. The only problem is that using an old school VGA monitor won't work on the video card outputs since it needs to output to digital display devices. If you want two displays from the video card ,then you will probably need to purchase another LCD display to connect to the video card.
It is probably time to consider putting the old VGA monitor out to pasture. Its time has come and gone.

L4 Traffic Monitor question

In the IronPort web security appliance documentation, it indicates that the L4 traffic monitor ports (T1 and/or T2) should be connected to either a network tap or switch span.
I'm a little confused as to how this is supposed to be set up.
Does it mean that you take 2 ports on a switch, one on the same subnet/vlan as the P1 interface (data) on the IronPort, and the other that is on the subnet/vlan as the firwall (outbound Internet traffic) and create 2 monitor sessions (spans)? If so, where are these sessions pointed to?
Isn't the IronPort supposed to be doing the tapping/inspection?
The whole external tap thing has me confused.

Colin,
One way to think of it is that the WSA has 2 inspection engines that don't actually talk to one another...
1. the web proxy, where you're using WCCP to send specific traffic to
2. the L4TM engine that you send a spanned port to to catch all of the other weird stuff.
The web proxy does all of the user tracking/policy stuff, etc. Watching a specific set of ports.
The L4TM is intended for malware that might be running on your net... sort of like the Botnet Traffic filter that's available on ASA.
That said, you'll use 1 port for P1 on whatever vlan, redirection to that happens via WCCP or explicit proxy.
For the L4TM tap you can use 1 or 2 ports on the swtich, or none if you use an external tap. In the Network/Interfaces page, you set whether you want L4TM to use simplex or Duplex. If you use Duplex, just do a span session off the port the firewall is plugged into to the port that you connect T1 into...
If you use Simplex, you do 2 span sessions off of the port the firewall is connected to... ingress traffic on the port (eg. out of the firewall) to the port T1 is connected to, egress traffic on the port (eg. going to the firewall) spanned to the port T2 is hooked up to.
If you use an external tap, put it inline between the firewall and the switch, set the WSA for duplex and connect the "monitor" port to T1...
Hope that helps!

HP HD Monitor question

I just bought the new 23" HP monitor to replace my old one.Question,it has a HDMI hookup on it.Where would you hook up the other end of the HDMI cable?My desktop is 6 or 7 years old and has no HD connections.I have a Hi-Def cable box nearby hooked to my 52"LG.My cable box only has one HDMI hook-up but my LG has four.Can I work something out with this or am I in the wrong ballpark all together?Any and all help will be appreciated!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On a desktop that old, I would just connect the monitor with a VGA or DVI cable based on the connection from your desktop.

New computer and video monitors for HD and PP CS5.5

Dear All,
I have recently updated to Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection to work in conjuntion with Final Cut Pro. I've been working with a Canon XL-1s, taping with mini-dv format in Standard Definition up to this time but am thinking of buying the Panasonic AG-AC160 AVCCAM and upgrading to High Definition.
I'm working on a Mac Pro and have been using a View Sonic computer monitor and a Sony Video Monitor that I've had for years -- left over from the old analog video tape days, but it still seems to do the job well.
I'm learning Premiere Pro CS5.5 and the suite seems to be working o.k., so that is not a problem at this time.
My question is: If I start working in high definition, do I need to change my computer and video monitors in order to get professional results from my editing software? I have done documentaries and want to do them in high def and have the best video for podcasts and mobile applications.
I don't want to spend another gazillion dollars on monitors if I don't have to, but I do want to provide the best video that I can and I will buy what I need.
Thanks for your suggestions and any info you can provide.
Small Town Gal

Dear taz291819
Thanks for your help. I have one more question. Do I actually need two monitors or will the computer monitor serve as a video monitor? I'm used to the old analog process of viewing the final video on a video monitor, but with HD, I would think that the computer monitor would give the same result as a separate video monitor. My ViewSonic would work, I'm sure, but it's a bit small for the HD format and I would like a bigger screen to work on. So, can I just use the computer monitor for editing and viewing the final product?
For Harm Millaard, I just think that HD will produce a better final product in small formats viewed as podcasts or on mobile phones -- plus almost everyone wants everything in HD now, and for some of the things I will be doing, it will undoubtedly give a better product. I want to upgrade my camera anyway, so I want to go to HD.

Activity monitor question for experts.

When I open activity monitor it is constantly changing. I have safari open, but it is there and then it isn't and then it is in activity monitor. How do I read this and is that normal?

I entered the thread because it clearly said Activity Monitor for experts and I had an AM problem please tell me where I went wrong I thought we were here to help each other not be picky about threads. If your thread was something different then maybe it should have been more specific I just needed help and there was an opening that seemed to refer to my problem. I don't spend half my life here as you seem to do judging by your posts, let's just be nice to people who need help.
In order to help people, they should understand the purpose of these boards.
Had you read the OP's post, you would see that his Activity Monitor is working and his question was simply why Safari appears and disappears from the AM window.
Your issue is entirely different and that is why I suggested starting a new thread with your particular problem/issue which has nothing to do with Safari in the Activity Monitor.
Perhaps the term "hijacking a thread" seems rash to you, but it is a common expression with no personal attachment to it. It merely means that someone has used another poster's thread to pose a completely different topic.
To best get help on this or any technical board, first search for instances of your particular issue, which may have already been solved, and if you do not find such a topic, start a new thread with the Subject describing your issue.
Once people start responding to other posts in a thread, nobody any longer knows who is answering whom.
It is always preferable to start a new topic if you want a quick solution to a problem, rather than bury it in another person's thread. It's called "Netiquette" and it is not my invention. It's been around as long as the net has been around AFAIK.

Port monitoring question

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and to Network programming in particular.
My question concerns port monitoring. I have a server transmitting UDP packets to a specific port. I need to have a thread that monitors that port and sees that there is traffic going out. Yet, it does not have any connection to the server (different processes), but it knows the IP and port number (actually the IP is the same).
How do I make it happen? Do I need to use a DatagramSocket and read inputs? Could someone advise with a simple code sample?
Thanks

Hi,
Why you dont simply create a DatagramSocket object. And using the receive message you can monitor datagrampackets, and if there is message or not available, simply use the getLength() method from this object.
You can do it in two ways.
One would be creating two threads, one to do the job, and the other one to monitor if there is or not message available. As you should know, the receives method, will block if there is no message available. As u dont want your program to freeze, put this job, in one thread.
The other one, would also be using a timertask, which will monitor the waiting process. If then for x time, it doenst receive, you finish your program.
There are really many many possibilities, u just need the DatagramSocket object, the DataGrampacket and a thread!
If i misunderstood something, you can give me new directions

Blinking question mark and folder on startup

Hi everyone,
I'm in need of some help. I turned on my mac today and got a gray screen with a little folder icon and a blinking question mark in the center. I'm on a G4 running OS X Tiger. I'm trying to boot using the startup disk but here's the problem, I have an external dvd drive connected by firewire, so the only way I can startup the Tiger dvd is from that external dvd drive. I put the dvd in (only my monitor, mouse, keyboard and the dvd drive are plugged in), restarted, pressed 'c' got the installer menu, went to disk utility but the only hardrive it shows is for my dvd drive (2.6GB LaCieGroup SA) and the icon of the dvd underneath, it does not show the macs hardrive.
I don't know what to do can someone please help are there any other options?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris99,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Regrets you're experiencing difficulty.
In the absence of any additional details about your scenario, here are my two cents.
The folder icon with blinking question mark implies that your Mac fails to recognize its internal hard drive as a bootable device.
Further, Disk Utility fails to recognize your Mac's internal hard drive.
One possiblity is that your internal hard drive's ribbon cable has come loose. You can test this by opening the G4's case and playing with the cable.
Another possibility is that the hard drive's ribbon cable is defective. You can test this by using another ribbon cable.
A third possibility is that the hard drive has stopped functioning properly. If you have another Mac, you can test this by connecting the G4 to the other Mac using a Firewire cable, then cold boot the other Mac, then cold boot the G4 while pressing the T key. If the G4's hard drive fails to display on the other Mac's desktop, this would support the third possibility. You also can test this by using a third-party hard drive repair utility (Tech Tool Pro; DiskWarrior; Drive Genius).
If you live near to an Apple Store or authorized Apple service shop, you could bring your G4 to a technician there and request a diagnosis.
Hope this helps.

Solution for monitor power supply and raid 5 on x4150 server

Hi everybody,
a simple question :
my compagny have some server SunFire x4150 in some Datacenter, and there is a thing that we cannot really monitored remotly : the status of the 2 power supply and the status of the raid 5 of the server.
(i want to know if a power is down or if a disk is "dead")
We are using Nagios, cacti and munin actually, so can we use these interfaces for that?
if the answer is no, a script can be developed , if only i knew the command that can be used to take informations from the state of the raid5, i'll comunicate later the type of the raid card.
what are the best solutions availables for monitor those things?
thanks by advance

We have some x4150s but they're running Linux. There are separate solutions for each of the 2 problems.
1. For the power supplies, you can use the ELOM/ILOM system management interface (also used for monitoring the fans and temperature). If you've got it configured and connected to the network, you can set it up to email you about any events. We have the older ELOM firmware running, which includes the ability to add some actions to take in response to specific events. The new and supposedly better ILOM firmware doesn't seem to include this. Since this is IPMI compatible you can probably also hook into this using ipmitool or SNMP tools.
2. For the RAID card, assuming it's the standard Adaptec (rebranded as StorageTek) controller, you can install and use StorMan software (it's on the tools & drivers CD if not pre-installed). Once again you can configure email notification from the StorMan GUI, but this time it relies on OS host services to do the mail forwarding via the host NIC.
I'm not familiar with the details of your network system admin tools, but hopefully these tips will provide pointers on what hooks are available for these tools to tie into. Presumably there's also Sun N1 management software which can probably do this in a more built-in way, but it sounds like you've already got more than enough management tools.

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!
