New mini with new samsung 2494Hm display *****

Hi folks, I connected my new mini to my samsung 2494HM monitor via HDMI and the picture *****, I have tried all the various adjustments and I can't make it good.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Bart

I just changed to the HDMI > DVI converter which comes with the mac, it seems better but I still have white 'ghosting' around the black letters on the grey mac page headers.
I used the monitor calibration process in system preferences but it's no better.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bart

  • MBP & New Samsung LED display resolution questions

    Hi all -
    Just got a new Samsung XL2370 LED display. I've got it hooked up to my new MBP: minidisplay to HDMI. I've got the Samsung at it's highest resolution: 1600x900. The MBP has the hi-res display at 1680x1050. The picture on the Samsung is not as sharp as the MBP, is that because of the unequalness of the resolutions? Would using a minidisplay to DVI look any different? I was thinking not since both HDMI and DVI are digital signals, but I thought I'd ask. The only monitor that seems to look identical to the MBP resolution is Apple's cinema displays, but I didn't want to spend that much on the external monitor.
    Thanks in advance!

    The problem is in your choice of using the HDMI connection. Use a VGA connection and you will be able to get the monitor's full resolution. Caution: I've had two cheap VGA adapters go out, but the Apple one (mini-display to VGA) does fine. I use a Samsung 2333HD monitor with my MBP (mid-2010). If I connect to the monitor with an HDMI connection (using a mini-display to HDMI adapter), the highest res on the monitor is 1600 x 900 instead of the monitor's full 1920 x 1080 I get with a VGA connection. By the way, the "Moshi" adapter (mini-display to HDMI) Apple sells does not solve the resolution problem--with it the monitor still gives only 1600 x 900, though it does carry audio. I think the problem is on the Apple side, since Apple has SnycMaster (which is for Samsung) settings in its Display prefs, but in the settings pane's resolution choices the list just tops out at 1600 x 900 when the connection is HDMI.

  • Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

    Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
    I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
    I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
    I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
    One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
    So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
    I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
    I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
    All ideas welcome.
    Thanks in advance

  • Imac versus mini with 20 in cinema display

    what do you think is better?
    buying the new imac.. or a mac mini with the 20" monitor?

    I'd say the pros outweigh the cons in this case. While the 20" iMac does have a worse screen than previous generations, it is very nice with some calibration. The cinema display is beautiful, but if you're just going to pair it with a Mac mini, there's no point. It's like...if you bought a huge 50 inch HDTV LCD so you could watch some of your VHS tapes on it. The Mac mini is underpowered and doesn't offer as much expandability as the iMac does (ironically enough)

  • Mini with 22" ADC Cinema Display w/ADC-DVI

    Greetings...
    I've been playing with my new 1.4Ghz mini and the display I happen to have free right now is an original 22" Cinema Display. I have the ADC to DVI adapter for this display and it's rock solid on my old G4 Sawtooth. Anyway on the mini it works very nicely exept for one problem. I get a flicker that seems to tie to system activity. May be voltage variations effecting the internal video DVI drivers. OK my question it. 1) Has anyone else out there tried this combination? (Apple's monitor compatibility chart says it's supported so I know somone at Apple tried it). 2) Do you have any image stability issues like flickering. I'm asking this because I'm now wondering if maybe my little guy is a bit faulty in the video department. I'll try my new 20" display tomorrow to see if it has the same problem.
    Anyway this is an amazing little box. BTW mine currently has the minimum RAM but that will change as soon as I put this video issue to bed. Hope to use it in my studio because it's so quiet... Very nice in the sound department.
    Enjoy,
    --Bryan

    Good news...
    Well I managed to locate a rev B version of the DVI-ADC adapter. First good news is the price is now down to $99 from the original $150. Second good news is that the /B version seems to work. No more flicker!!
    Hey Michael L... Thanks for the suggestion it worked!!
    So while this isn't the cheapest solution, it does seem to work so far and considering the cost of a new 22 or 23" monitor vs. using my excellent 22" ADC Cinema Display I'm feeling OK about it.
    So John you might want to give a rev. /B version of the adapter a try. BTW the actual adapter is absolutely identical to the REV /A version on the outside the only difference it the serial number is in a different range. If you buy an open box make sure the serial number matches on the box that shows the /B revision matches the actual unit.
    Happy Hunting... They are not easy to find. Yeah I know this $600 Mac is starting to rack up the bucks but hey considering it has better performance than my original G4 Sawtooth that I paid like 5X as much for I can't complain too loud...
    This will hold until Apple can produce a new truly drool worthy high end machine. The bar just went up with the introduction of the mini. The new once has got to be small, it's got to be silent and it goes with out saying it's got to be so fast it will make you cry. Until then I'll use what I have right now...
    Next I need to track down a good 1GB stick of ram for the Mini...
    Enjoy,

    Hi all,
    I'm looking into buying one of the new 2011 Mac Minis (2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5) and using dual 27" thunderbolt displays and/or 27" LED cinema displays.
    1. Is this possible?
    2. If yes, how do I do it?
    3. Do i need to upgrade anything on the mac mini?

  • Dual screens with mac mini with a samsung 24in 245bw screens.  How do I make this happen

    I just bought a Mac mini.  I have two samsung 245bw 24in screens.  What do I need to buy to have dual screens.

    You will need to use the supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter for one, then for the second you will need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) plugged into the combination Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort.

  • Using Mac mini with LCD TV

    I intend to use the mac mini with a 26" HD LCD TV with a resolition of 1366 * 768. Can anyone tell me if this will give a good quality display?

    I intend to use the mac mini with a 26" HD LCD TV
    with a resolition of 1366 * 768. Can anyone tell me
    if this will give a good quality display?
    That would depend on the quality of the TV. I am using my mac mini with a Samsung 26 inch HD tv. It works fine at that resolution using the VGA connector on the TV but If I use a DVI to HDMI connection to samsung wont let me use the native resolution which is annoying. So until there is a fix for this I have to use the VGA connection.

  • Connection Mac mini with lcd 32' (daewoo sensi)

    Hi
    i m trying to connect a lcd daewoo 32 to a MacMini
    this works with dvi/sub 15 but there is no access to zoom ,panorama or 14/9
    only 4/3 and 16/9 are available
    the lcd give access to these options when connected to a dvdplayer with yuv
    i bought a dvi/yuv adaptator for the macmini but there is no image on the display
    should i connect the mac mini with dvi/hdmi link to access
    Has anyone successfully connected a lcd with these options ?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Anne for the answer
    i allready downloaded this before posting , i'm not sure it helps
    let me try to be more specific
    the problem is to use front row on the mini with a 16/9 display (32') for films
    with the dvi/yuv adaptator , it seems that the mac ( or the card) can not send this signal . Too bad , the tv with yuv connection accepts zoom , 14/9 ...
    with the dvi/vga adaptator , the signal is ok on tv , at least for movies (1280x1024) , but the tv (plugged with vga ) does not give access to zoom , 14/9 so movies are "small"
    not overscanned , but small
    so i'm looking for somebody who plugged this successfully ( mini front row and movies in full screen ( or max available) without deformation of the image
    Another option could be dvi to composite adaptator ...but going out from the mini in dvi to display on a 1366x768 LCD does not seem to be the best

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • I just wanna buy a new iOS device and I'm confused between the iPod touch 5th generation, iPhone 4s 8GB, iPad 4th generation 16GB and iPad mini with the retina display 16GB model. Please help me figure out.

    I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
    I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
    Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
    Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
    Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
    Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
    Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
    Thank you!

    They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
    If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.

  • Can i use itunes with my new Samsung tablet. i have an ipod mini (i know its old!) and we got rid of our computer in favour for the tablet but now i don't know how to download more songs!!??

    How can i connect my ipod mini to my new Samsung tablet?

    No, there is not iTunes for Android.  Actually, even if you had an iPad, there would be no way to sync an old iPod with it.  You need a computer (either a Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes to sync an iPod mini.

  • Can I use my iMac with a thunderbolt connection as an Display for my new Mac Mini with thunderbolt ??

    Can I use my new Mac Mini with Leopard and thunderbolt in connection with my new iMac as a display ?

    If it's a 27" iMac. I don't believe Target Display Mode is supported on the 21" model. But not with a Mac Mini running Leopard. It would need to be running Lion.

  • Mac mini with a 24" display or a new iMac 24"?

    Hi,
    Since Apple releases the new iMac, and at the same time, updated the mini, I'm wandering where my heart should go.
    I like the iMac, a little bit more powerful, better video card and not sharing memory with main memory, better BTO (bigger HD, faster HD too, memory, etc) iSight and mike, and so on so on. I have not seen one yet, but I'm still puzzled by the glossy screen. Many article I read said that it is a like or not based on personal taste and environment you put it in. I bought a Sony display 2-3 years ago, which I returned, because of the glossy screen. The images were very clean and very fun too work on, but I could not endure to see my face in the screen continuously. That's what I'm afraid about the new iMac.
    So far so good, I read the article on http://www.macworld.com that compare the new mini C2D with an iMac, and while it is less performant it is still a good performer. Only a few points below the iMac. So...
    Choosing a mini with a 24" of my choice with the same resolution as the iMac will cost me around the same (maybe a few hundred $ less), but I'll have a smaller/slower HD and not a dedicated video card. I'm wandering if the larger screen resolution will affect the mini performance? Sure, for the HD space, I can use an external HD on firewire. Maybe even boot from it and use the internal and slower disk for backups (like TimeMachine for instance).
    I do not play game, or very occasionally, I'm doing iLife/iWork stuff, and Internet surfing. I want the larger screen, as I like to have spaces to play with, but I'm afraid the mini will suffer the higher resolution.
    In the long run, the display will stay mine, when I ever decide to change my computer, while buying the iMac mean I'll drop the display and buy a new one. There's pros and cons to all of this...
    So I'd like to heard from people having the new (or even older) mini to let me your impression of what you feel about this.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are not able to actually examine an iMac carefully before you buy, the risk that the glossy screen may not suit you is a real issue which has to be considered. Imagine that you bought one and found it to have the same problem as the Sony display you tried and had to return?
    Ultimately, the actual performance of the system is remarkably unimportant in most situations. The majority of users and uses would not show markedly different operability between a brand new Mac Pro and older G5, even though in terms of specification and benchmarking, the two are like chalk and cheese. The fact is that while the Mac Pro would be greatly faster, OS and software, not to mention the user him or herself, are all quite inefficient.
    What that means is that the difference in performance between the iMac and the mini is certainly measurable, and in use would show itself in some ways (the iMac would run smoother for example) but without the ability to sit them side by side, as a user you'd really never know. Bearing in mind that the new minis are way faster than the old G5s which were themselves screamingly fast when they were in production (and still are), it's hard to imagine that a mini would fail to impress.
    And since the actual performance of the system isn't all that crucial, what IS vital is to ensure that the system you buy is usable. The devices that matter most in that respect are the bits you, as the user, interface with. Keyboards and mice are reasonably cheap and easy to change, but displays are not when they are fixed and integral to the system.
    The downside of the mini is twofold: Firstly that the internal drive is 5400rpm, thus relatively slow. In reality this really doesn't matter all that much, particularly not if you go for 2Gb RAM. It's been criticized for it's speed, but on the other hand, it's the same as the best laptops, users of which don't seem to have problems with the drive speed. It can be got around of course with a fast external drive, used to boot the system.
    Secondly, the integrated graphics - not because that's really limiting in any absolute sense (except for gamers) but because as time goes by, more and more of the top-end software is likely to exclude systems with integrated graphics from their minimum specification list. There aren't many like that yet, and it's hardly likely to be a widespread problem, but it does mean you have to consider what software you want to run as part of the equation.
    If I were in your situation, I'd not consider spending money until I had looked at the iMac and given myself some time to work with one. The fact it has a glossy screen doesn't mean it WILL have the same problem as the Sony display had, and slight changes in the ergonomics of your desk with the iMac on it rather than the system with the Sony display previously may mean that even if it did prove reflective, it may be far less of a problem (or more of course). I would look to buy the best system with the best specification that fit within my budget (after all, it has to meet your needs for some time, even as they change), thus if the iMac screen was good, that would be the system I'd go for. If there were any sense that the reflective properties of the screen were going to be a problem, I'd dismiss it as an option immediately, and focus on either the lowest cost Mac Pro if one of those were within the budget, and if not, a Mac mini with bumped up RAM and your choice of screen.

Maybe you are looking for
