Monitor screen off color

My monitor screen has randomly gone from its normal color to adding a grainy blueish looking tint to my desktop and tab bar
This has happened once before and a reboot fixed the problem. This time around after rebooting it 3 times the problem is still persiting.
Any help would be wonderfull.

  • What is the best program or way to check an image on monitor screen (contrast/color etc)

    Hi,
    In ACR I adjust the image so that it looks OK for me.
    But there are a little differences in ACR and PS viewing the image (color, contrast etc).
    In programs like windows foto-viewer there is an other difference (relative to ACR and PS) >> images have more contrast and darker  than viewing in PS.
    An other program Irfanview shows the image with less color (saturisation).
    I have made a test print (in a photo centre), that image results in something between Irfanview and PS.
    Question:
    What is the best program or way to adjust the color / contrast etc so that I get an photo-image (on paper) that is the same as what I see on mij monitor screen.

    THANKS! STATION_TWO for the "over-correct-answer" you give................
    If I'm honest, the answer of Richard was for me enough to realize where I made a "wrong inference" in understanding color management.
    He is for me the best teacher in this case, I've learned something from him because he's talking on my level.
    By the way: the english language is not my native language... so my questions should have to be read with understanding of grammatical expressions from other languages >> ("The color management is know by me…").
    Again: Richard, in this case, read my question properly and has helped me on my way.

    Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • Connect laptop to a external monitor with laptop screen off

    I need to connect my laptop to an external monitor but i need my laptop screen off.
    Is it possible? I use an hdmi or vga connection, gnome as DE and ati 5700 graphic card

    mm...
    try on a terminal "xrandr"
    first type xrandr to know the name of the two displays... then
    xrandr --output laptopdisplayname --off --output monitorname --preferred
    That will turn of the laptop display and turn on the monitor....
    But I don't know if that command runs on gnome..  if it runs try to download "arandr" gui app of xrandr from yaourt

  • My screen background color is off-white & this color comes through on the print page. Page Setup/Print Background is set off. How do I fix this? Problem first popped up with version 6, still there with version 8.0.1

    File/Page Setup/Format & Options/Options/Print Background (colors & images): Check box set off.
    This setting does not work as my screen background color still comes through on the print preview & the print page.
    Is this because the newer Firefox versions have blocked my graphics driver version?

    See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683139 Bug 683139] – Using the 'High Contrast Black' 'Accessibility Option' in Win XP results in the screen colours being printed.

  • My screen is off-color.  What can I do to fix it?

    My screen is off-color.  In other words, black is white and white is black.  My young granddaughter was typing hary-scary all over the keyboard.  What can I do to fix it please?

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off White on Black, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

  • How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900

    How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer? I am using the laetest Epson driver, I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm using OSX 10.5.8.
    Thanks
    Joe

    I have researched the matter a lot and I, 
    along with many others, still have problems with this complicated 
    subject.
    Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
    But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
    If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.

  • 2014 Mac mini doesn't scale the entire HP Envy 32 monitor screen

    I recently purchased a HP Envy 32 monitor for use with my 2014 Mac mini with the Iris display. I get 2560x1440 resolution at 60 Hz on both the DP (1.2) as well as the HDMI ports (using the auto-detected HP Envy 32 color profile) but the display doesn't scale the entire screen of the monitor. Is anyone else using this configuration successfully? If so, what have you done to make full use of the 32" monitor real-estate? I simply cannot find any options in Display preferences (Yosemite) to change underscan options or for that matter within the monitor itself. Is there a particular display profile or driver I can use to fix this issue?

    I'm using a 4K compatible DP cable connected to the Thunderbolt port and getting to the max resolution of the monitor. So I don't think the issue lies there. I was able to use SwitchResX trial mode to discover an underscan option that allowed me to scale to the entire monitor screen. Assuming SwitchResX is manipulating core OSX functions, I'd assume there is some display related configuration within OSX that I should be able to tweak in order to scale the monitor screen natively in OSX without requiring any 3rd party software. Any thoughts for how to go about tweaking the display natively?
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to turn the new iMac screen off while running a song?

    I know the key command is shift control eject-- and it works-- but only for a few seconds. Does anybody know how to turn the screen off so that it will stay off for any serious period of time?
    I used to do this in my g5 by just turning the monitor off. great to trick to ensure that i'm listening to a mix w/ my ears--- not my eyes.
    thank you

    Thank you for all the responses.
    I've tried the black cloth. it's okay-- but i wind up have to attach something to the iMac--- and my clients are very sensitive to the things look here. i think it's petty-- but whatever. Also-- i have to constantly be taking it on/off as i make ajustments.
    As far as turning around goes-- this is okay. I've tried it. the thing is-- your the way your ears receive sound-- is significantly different when you turn around. not drastically-- but again-- i'm talking about slight adjustments anyhow. any little difference can throw things off.
    And the idea of a screen saver-- well-- here's the thing: when i'm trying to think only of music-- i don't even want to have to look at a computer screen. Imagine if you owned a nice pioneer 1970's stereo receiver and killer set of speakers. But everytime you were listening to it-- you had to look at a some sort of computer image. just not that pleasant.
    comfort is pretty important to me at this point and that's kind of the whole goal. to still sit where i sit, look where i look, but not have to see a lit display on a computer screen.
    i will try the hot corner thing.
    thank you all for your responses.

  • I have an Imac.  When I click to open google maps a permeable but dark screen covers my monitor screen and I get a note that tells me to shut down the computer and restart it.  This hasn't helped.  Everything else seems to work fine.

    When I attempt to open google maps in Firefox on my Imac, a dark screens descends over my monitor screen and a note tells me there's been an error, no number is noted, and that I need to turn off and restart my computer.  This doesn't help, but everything else works, including google maps in other browsers.

    This is a kernel panic.
    First verify that Firefox is fully updated including all extensions.
    If this fails to fix....
    Restart in Safe Boot mode then open Firefox.
    *  shutdown
    *  start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
    *  after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
    *  keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
    *  now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
    *  eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT
    *  login and open Firefox.
    If you continue to have problems see this article for more options to fix.

  • Why do the colors in images embedded in word (TIFF/JPEG) export off-color from Acrobat?

    I chose this forum as opposed to the printing and pre-press forum because I have a very limited existing knowledge of color space and profile matching and I didn't want to be (1) shunned and (2) overwhelmed by the level of technical detail.
    When I attempt to PDF a word document that contains a TIFF image, the TIFF image appears SIGNIFICANTLY off color.  I was able to substantially correct the problem by extracting the TIFF image within the Word document and resaving it as a JPEG, but it still isn't 100%.
    Here's what I know:
    I'm using Windows 7; Word 2010; and Acrobat X.  I also have Photoshop CS5.1 and InDesign CS4.
    My color SETTINGS are matched in each application to be tied to my monitor, and my monitor is set to the system default, which is a system default: :sRGBIEC61966-2.1"
    I'm using the document for professional purposes, so color matching is important to me, but I'm working with what is available to me at a nonprofit, so that means an Acer X183h monitor and a Canon iR C5185 networked office printer and no real color management policy or equipment.
    I'm looking for the best possible solution to maintain color performance between the monitor and the printer.

    Incredibly as I posted this the solution came to me - I leave it to the moderators to determine whether this should be preserved or deleted.  I wasn't able to find any help on this and it might be valuable to other users.
    The image itself that was embedded in the Word Document had a CMYK color profile. It was displaying appropriately in the software, but wouldn't convert to PDF or print. I opened the source file in Photoshop and converted it to my working profile, then re-added it to the word document and it is now reliably reproducing in the right color.
    Since dropping outside images into word is a common (if also poor) work process for people creating documents in the nonprofit sector, I think this kind of information could be valuable in the knowlegebase.

  • How do I turn off color management in Photoshop 5?

    There are three selections, only the first two clickable, in PS5 under Color Management in the Print dialouge:
    Printer Manages Colors
    Photoshop Manages Color
    Separations (grayed out/unclickable)
    Under Printer Manages Colors - there is no option to turn off color management for my Canon 9500 Mark ii
    Under Photoshop Manages Color - there is no option to choose "No Color Management"
    You can chose "No Color Management" in PS3, but not PS5? What happened to this option?
    How is it possible to create a profile from a print of color swatches if I can not turn off color management?
    (I am running Mac OS 10.6.4)
    PS> this is the second time I'm contacting Adobe. First was by phone but I couldn't understand the message left on my voice mail after the phone technician had to ask for help from upper management - the english was so bad. I'm hoping by the written word I'll be able to understand. Please help.

  • HP 2311xi Monitor Screen Scaling

    Have an HP 2311xi Flat Panel Monitor and all was OKay, until I upgraded my operating system from Windows 8.0 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro and now  my monitor screen size has about 1/2 inch of black screen around all edges of the display.  All was good with Windows 8.0 and the display filled the screen correctly form edge to edge.  I went to the monitor's display controls and under Main Menu; Image Control; Customer Scaling; the "Fill to Screen" and "Fill to Aspect Ratio" are grayed out and unavailable. The only option is "Overscan" and that give me either the 1/2 inch black border or causes the display to 'overscan' and puts part of the screen display off the screen. In an using HDMI as the input source to the display, however, I had no trouble with is under Windows 8.0.
    Besides going back to Windows 8.0, any suggested fixes for this issue.
    Thanks,

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi BillyMNJ,
    Sorry for the confusion. Our situation is not exactly the same. Upgraded from Win 8 to Win 8.1 via MS Download Store. Graphics driver seemed to be OK except screen scaling issue. Did not check AMD driver version at that time. Then decicded to try HP's Win 8 AMD driver to correct scaling problem.. So I rolled back the graphics driver.
      That solved the scaling issue but I was having other display problems.
    Updated to the version you have on your system now. (image below). No resultant scaling issue after this update.
    Had some minor issues so I uninstalled only AMD CCC using Programs and Features applet in Control Panel and selected Repair AMD Catalyst Install Manager because it (CCC) was present from the Win 8 HP unified driver install. 
    Maybe try uninstalling and removing only CCC if you have it or remove current graphics driver, reboot, and reinstall using Microsofts drivers ( the version we both have now) either via MS Win Update or device manager.
    I have been troubleshooting the graphics problem since installing Win 8.1
    Right now screen scaling issue has been corrected but have other minor issues.
    I think this problem, in my case, is because the Radeon HD 7570 card is OEM - AMD does not provide support. So, if HP does not provide a Win 8.1 Unified driver package for my model, it is problematic as to whether a complete solution is possible. 
    Hope this clarifies??

  • Which monitor for accurate color management?

    I shoot digital product and food photography using a mac powerbook. I've been using a LaCie CRT (yes, I said CRT) monitor for fine tuning my photos. It has finally started acting up so I'm ready for a new monitor. Can anyone recommend a dependable monitor that has color, brightness and contrast controls for use with establishing color managed profiles using eye1 macbeth (now that company is called something else which I can not remember at the moment). Obviously it needs to be accurate when it comes to color, brightness and contrast as well.
    I ended up using my laptop screen this past shoot cause I had no other choice - but it made me really nervous.....
    thanks -

    First of all, my sincere condolences for your loss.  Losing your last high-end CRT is a traumatic loss.  I'm still hanging on to two (2) of them!  (Knock on wood!)
    Highly recommended monitors:
    The NEC 2690 and 2490.
    You want to use the SpectraView II software to conduct all the work internally and use GammaComp and ColorComp.
    If Andrew Rodney chimes in with updated recommendations, listen to his advice.
