Pink Tint 23" ACD (when compared to dell 2408WFP)

I purchased my 23" aluminum ACD back in 2005. I have the M9178LL/A model.
I never thought I had a problem with this display. I am a video editor and it always seemed to serve me well. However, I recently purchased a secondary monitor, Dell 2408WFP (only because the ACD 23" have been discontinued) and was shocked to realize that when placed next to my ACD, it's very obvious that the colors are way off. The ACD has a very obvious pink overtone about it. Whites especially, but overall it is very off. This also seems to dull other colors. Projects that I worked on in the past all look slightly off color-wise on the new monitor because of this. It seems the compressing of files to H.264 saved me from my work being a complete mess to the world (as compression usually slightly dulls colors, and all my raw projects are way over-saturated because of the dullness of this display).
Some quick reading makes me realize that this was an issue with a group of ACD's and I'm wondering if there's any chance apple would care that my monitor is not giving (and has never given) accurate color representation - even though I'm only noticing it 4 years after purchase. And what my options are (if any) at this point. Upon realizing this I re-ran the color calibration in advanced settings which I haven't done since the original purchase, no change - it's the display. Not it's calibration settings.
Thanks for taking the time to look this over, looking forward to your opinions.

I guess it partly depends on which specs are important to you.
The Samsung seems a typical consumer oriented display, ideal for playing games and watching movies, due to the pixel response time and bright colours etc.
The Apple seems more pro oriented with faithful colour reproduction, wider viewing angles (typical not 'up to') and a list of accreditations as long as your arm. Also I expect the 'high gloss' enclosure of the Samsung display may be thought of as an unwelcome distraction on an Apple display.

Pink tint when play videos.

Whenever I play a video via QuickTime (either over the internet or my own), there's almost always a pink tint covering my video. Is there any reason for this?

Mac Mini shows blue or pink tint using DVI to VGA adaptor on 800x600 HDTV

My new Mac Mini won't retain the color settings for this TV/Monitor that is connected via the DVI to VGA adaptor. I've tried to find the display using the Mac utility. I finally got the Mac to create a color profile for the TV by plugging a USB cable from the TV to the Mac, while the VGA cable was also connected. The Mac displayed a new color profile called RCA/ProScan (the TV brand), and the colors looked acceptable. I then saved that color profile. The monitor would then revert to a very blue tint, or a very pink tint without notice. I thought it might have been when I disconnected the USB cable, or when I re-booted the Mac Mini, but I can't detect a cause & effect pattern. I might try to connect the TV using a DVI to S-Video adaptor instead of VGA, but I don't know if it will help. Can someone help? Thanks.

Make sure it isn't a simple cabling problem. Check all the connections and tighten down the thumb screws. The mini is prone to a poor video connection and you need to make sure the video cables are tightly attached.

How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ?

How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ? I received Elements 6 free with a scanner. It works o.k. on my Windows XP, except whenever I go to Editor workspace, the photo turns completely pink -- no other color. I can use the various tools on the pink, but this is useless, as I don't want a pink photo. Can't even convert it to black & white -- just stays pink. I tried everything I could think of to get a normal color transfer to editor from the organizer, but no luck. Please help.

This is an update to the pink tint problem. The problem mysteriously FIXED ITSELF today, after being stubbornly pink for weeks. I have no idea what happened, as I didn't do anything -- it was somehow already fixed when I started the program. So maybe it will revert again, who knows, but hoping for the best.

Exports have serious pink tint

Starting today, all of my exports whether through email or direct have a very serious pink tint that renders them useless.
Anyone else have the problem? Any suggestions for a fix. MAC OSX 10.8.1 Aperture 3.3.2 Problem may have started with 10.8.1 upgrade.
Thank you in advance

First thing to check is the Image Export Color Profile ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export").
The Image Export Preset used when emailing from Aperture is set at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Export➞Email Photo Export Preset".

Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint

When i power on my toshiba Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint and then about 2 min later it is fine untill the next time i power on the computer is this the screen it self or the inverter?

Hi
Its not easy to say if its screen or FL inverter issue.
FL inverter controls the screen backlight and usually if the FL inverter start malfunctions, then you will see pictures on the screen like behind a thick fog.
So possibly its screen issue but this is just an assumption.
However, FL inverter is not very expensive but the notebook screen is one of the expensive notebook parts so Im not sure if its worth to replace the screen and to pay 200-300 Euros for the fix

Macbook Pro Display has a pink tint to it

Ever since I upgrade to 10.6 my display has been wiggin out on me. Half the screen usually has this pink tint to it. Sometimes it's only 2-3 inches across but goes to the top and bottom. Don't know what's going on with my display. Is it due to heat? Cause my laptop still gets freaking hot. I have done a hardware test and passed. When I connect it to another display, it doesn't show up on the other monitor. I can grab the top of the monitor and by pressing gently I can make it go away, but as soon as I release it goes back. I used to be able to press on it and it would go away for awhile. Any suggestions?

I am encountering the same problem with my MBP. I was wondering if you have any updated information on what you have found out?

Data in the cube is showing multiple entries when compared with ODS

Hello BW Gurus,
We have a waste report in production planning on Cube and ODS separately. The same info package loads both targets (which means same infosource) but when we run a report on Cube, the records are showing multiple entries (i.e. Key Figures are not matching when compared to ODS) where as the ODS records are showing correctly as it was in R/3. There are totally 6 key figures out of which 4 pulled from R/3 and 2 are populated in BW.
An Example:
Waste report in PP run for plant 1000 for 12/2005 and process order 123456. The operational scrap should be 2.46% and the component scrap should be 3.00% for material 10000000. The report is showing 7.87% for planned operational waste % and 9.6% for planned component waste %. These values are not correct. The ODS values for order 123456 matched the data in R/3 for component and operational scrap.
There is a Start routine to the ODS and also to the cube. I am not good at ABAP so requesting your Help.

some how the AGSU qyt is not populating in the cube and when I dbug the code, I could see a clean record in the internal table but not in the cube.
your suggestion and solutions would be highly appreciated.
thanks,
Swathi.

Hi Swathi
In ODs we have option of overwriting and addition however in Cube we have only adition.Thats why you are getting multiple enteries.
If you are running daily full load on the cube then please delete the earlier requests.
So at one point of time there should be only one full load request in cube. Hope this will solve your problem.

Hi Swathi,
May be you might want to look into the way the % is being calculated in the cube. If the formula involves counting the no. of records, then you will also be counting the -ve records that are posted in the cube unless you have had a compression on the cube. that might give you wrong numbers.

HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones. Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages. Why are mine taking up so much space??

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

I can't seem to get individual elements when comparing 2 arrays using Compare-Object

My backup software keeps track of servers with issues using a 30 day rolling log, which it emails to me once a week in CSV format. What I want to do is create a master list of servers, then compare that master list against the new weekly lists to identify
servers that are not in the master list, and vice versa. That way I know what servers are new problem and which ones are pre-existing and which ones dropped off the master list. At the bottom is the entire code for the project. I know it's a bit much
but I want to provide all the information, hopefully making it easier for you to help me :)
Right now the part I am working on is in the Compare-NewAgainstMaster function, beginning on line 93. After putting one more (fake) server in the master file, the output I get looks like this
Total entries (arrMasterServers): 245
Total entries (arrNewServers): 244
Comparing new against master
There are 1 differences.
InputObject SideIndicator
@{Agent= Virtual Server in vCenterServer; Backupse... <=
What I am trying to get is just the name of the server, which should be $arrDifferent[0] or possibly $arrDifferent.Client. Once I have the name(s) of the servers that are different, then I can do stuff with that. So either I am not accessing the array
right, building the array right, or using Compare-Object correctly.
Thank you!

do not do this:
$arrDifferent = @(Compare-Object $arrMasterServers $arrNewServers)
Try this:
$arrDifferent = Compare-Object $arrMasterServers $arrNewServers -PassThru
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is what made the difference. I guess you don't have to declare arrDifferent as an array, it is automatically created as an array when Compare-Object runs and fills it with the results of the compare operation. I'll look at that "pass thru" option
in a little more detail. Thank you very much!
Yes - this is the way PowerShell works. You do not need to write so much code once you understand what PS can and is doing.

Advantages of using labview in embedded application when compared to c ?

Hello all,
I am looking to develop embedded application with help of labview programming
Started with Lm3s8962 evaluation board.
So i would like to know
1 Advantages of using labview in embedded application when compared to c ?
2 Can we deploy the code in any kind of controller by writting drivers for it ?

hello, the LM3S8962 microcontroller is a good sispositivos for developing applications of medium complexity, according to your questions:
1. if you work applications with embedded systems will save labview time in prototyping, we know that if you work with a company specific microcontroller, you must learn the language with which you are working Asm, Basic, C, then if you change hardware again start adapting your code in the libraries of the new compiler. Labview does not happen.
2. Labview only works with some microcontroller manufacturers and specific models.

Why poor quality AIC & Apple ProRes HQ video when compared to original video files!

First, I'm a long time PC user who has recently switched to Mac's and I'm rather picky about the quality of my videos.
Problem: I have HD video from a Canon HF S10 camcorder and Canon EOS 7D that looks fantastic on a PC... but looks very so-so once imported into a iMovie or FCE or FCP. I've tried all three programs using AIC and yes I've even tried Apple Pro Res HQ (FCP 7.0 log & transfer) and still end up with very poor quality mov files when compared to the originals. Part of the problem (or benefit of a PC) is that the PC actually plays the original RAW MTS/M2TS/MOV files without any trouble and and they look unbelievable. Where as my Mac has to import/convert the file to AIC or Apple Pro Res HQ... so no matter what codec I use, my Mac produces video that is not even close to what I get out of my PC.
My original RAW files are all 1920x1080 60i and are MTS files from the HF S10 and Mov files from the 7D. Even the original RAW Mov files produced from the 7D don't look as good on my Mac as they do on my PC. I even took a SD card with the original files down to the local Apple store to see how they look on a Macbook Pro and they still don't look like the originals on my PC. Also, all my comparisons are being done side by side on two 24" Apple cinema displays at full size (1920x1080) that are calibrated. What am I doing wrong and why the loss in quality? Any ideas as to why the quality is just so-so when compared to the originals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The thing that is wrong is that you are judging the quality of VIDEO on COMPUTER monitors. Properly calibrated or no...this is not how you do it. Calibration for computer monitors sets them right for PHOTOSHOP and color, not VIDEO and proper monitoring. Only getting a signal to a broadcast VIDEO monitor, or HDTV, will show you what you really have. And for that you need an HD input/output device or capture card...and the HDTV or HD monitor.
Computer monitors are never the place to judge video quality. Resolution is typically lowered to allow for full frame playback. Even if paused.
