Rev B AIR Display thin lines?

Are these lines on all displays of the rev B Macbook Airs or do most people have normal displays without this phenomenon? Do these lines exist on the previous Rev A or not at all?

Hello,
I have had a very bad experience with MBAs over late November and December, I tried to buy one without the grey lines problem in my area (Ottawa and Montreal), and they all had the problem, very, very disappointing!
From Best Buy to the Apple Store, I must have seen between 7 to 10 machines, they all had terrible screens, except for one which still had an odd screen, but with less noticeable lines (I sometimes wonder if I should have grabbed it, but why pay more than 3K $$$ for something less than perfect?)
I ultimately settled for a MB with a 2.4 GHz processor, not only is it barely heavier than a MBA (4.5 pounds vs 3 pounds), it comes with way more power and features (faster, optical drive, glass touchpad, updgradeable HD, memory, etc.), and is CHEAPER, pretty good call in hindsight.
Of course, had the MBA not had the grey lines, I would have kept it and paid the big bucks...
The Apple Store manager in Montreal claimed he could not see the lines, whilst many Best Buy employees and some "Geniuses" at the Apple Store could "see what I meant". The guy was very nice, but ultimately, if I see the lines, and if many people over the internet report the lines... it's not a matter of belief or faith, folks.
Bottom line is, I have not yet seen a MBA display which was not HORRIBLE. My MBP and MB put them to shame...
hope this helps.

Aipar Air has a thin Line in the screen.

I bought a Ipad air one month ago it was working fine, but the last week appeared a dotted thin line across the screen (vertical), but in this moment there are others thin purple lines. How can i Fix the problem?.

Hello there, NelsonMejia.
The following Knowledge Base article gives us a few recommendations for troubleshooting issues with your display:

Particularly:
Display image issues
This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaperand slide the slider.
If the issue persists, there are recommendations at the end of the article as well:

Thin lines in pdf file displayed on mac

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to bring this up. So redirection elsewhere is appreciated!
I've noticed a problem with displaying certain pdf files on a mac. The files are 2D filled plots produced by the free scientific software Yorick (http://yorick.sourceforge.net/). It happens when I view it in Preview or Powerpoint on a mac. But not if I use a pdf viewer on a unix system. The yorick source code for a simple example is below. I can't find a way to attach files to this messages or I'd include the pdf's. Is there a way to do this?
Both png's are fine, and the pdf of the pli plot is fine. pli assumes uniform grid spacing, is fast, and must use different graphics primitives than plf, which does not assume uniform grids (i.e. you can have non-square elements). In this case both x and y grids really are uniform. The problem is with the pdf of the plf plot. Look at it in Preview, you should see some thin lines. Put it in powerpoint and the same. If you put some solid colored box in back of it, you'll see the color. So the lines are transparent or something.
David Munro, the creator of Yorick, suggests it's an issue with anti-aliasing.
Anyway, the problem isn't that severe in this example, but in others (which don't have simple source code) it's more annoying.
Either way, any advice on this, or the right people to report this to, is appreciated.
Cheers,
David

As I suspected, the problem is that the other viewers are not savvy enough to handle the "stitching problem".
What looks like a single image is really a WHOLE LOT of single squares. I took a snapshot of the Edit Object tool in Acrobat with all the objects selected. See <https://photos-3.dropbox.com/i/o/R6asqv64sEP1Tf7eIEBfNbFbMw0F7qKEaFwfnXQVKLo/1644474/12950 96400/0fa9181>.
As you can see from that, each square is a separate image that needs to be rendered and if the viewer doesn't understand how to proper stitch the pieces together then you will get empty pixels (which appears as white lines).
Either contact the author of the program that authored the document and see about getting that fixed (if it's not you) and/or contact the other viewers about improving their products.

Whats the easiest way to put a thin line around an image?

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to put a thin line around
an image? I'm also interested in the use of thin lines as part of
the graphic design on a page, how are they generated?
Thanks

Way too complicated. If you want to change the color or style
of the
border, you have to modify the image. With CSS you can
directly change
the line style in a much easier and faster way.

Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps. It just prints a thin line at top of page. Everything works fine until I print.
All other print functions work. It prints from computer via WiFi. It prints when I send an email to it. It copies via the Zeen. It just won't print using the Print Apps.
Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
12/23/2010 3:00PM. I just got off the phone with an HP engineer. She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product. (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up. This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me. The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!. Even the printer app was missing. I had to move it from the app tray to the home page. Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now. The Zeen will copy using the printer app. My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting. However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly. If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
This question was solved.

I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems. HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems. I hate this, as I really loved the product.

Blue thin line on the lower left iMac G4 Flat Panel

Hi, since yesterday there is a blue thin line (0,039 inches (1 mm) thin; 35 inches (9 cm) long on the panel of my iMac G4 Flat Panel. It looks like drawing with a ruler, so straight and so fine.
The line is on the left lower corner in a vertical position. At first I thought these are dead pixels, but I checked this. No dead pixels. I have changed the desktop picture etc., but it`s all the same. I run the apple hardware-test cd - no problems found. Is there someone with any idea? Is it possible to have a damaged graphics- chip although the hardware-test is o.k.?
Does it make sense to open the iMac and look for dust and dirt on the motherboard?
Thank you for any help, Matse
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Matse,Willkommen zu den
Diskussionen,
What happens if you change the
display resolution? (Apple Menu > System
Preferences... > Displays > Display tab >
Resolutions) If the line stays in exactly the same
place despite the resolution change this points to an
LCD rather than graphics card issue.
mrtotes
thank you Adam for that hint. The line stays exactly in the same place. That means it is an LCD issue? That´s your opinion? Do you have any idea if it is possible to repair it, or is the only possibility to change the panel?
Thank you, Matse

Can't get rid of Thin line at bottom of images

<a href="about.html"><img src="images/HOMEPAGE/homepage_title.png" alt="Get Started" class="columns" title="Get Started"/></a><br>
<br>
Hi, I can't figure out why my homepage images have a thin line at the bottom of the image. The image itself is not causing this but it must have something to do with the image tag or the CSS but I can't seem to get rid of it and it's driving me crazy. If anyone knows what may be causing this I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Adninjastrator, thanks for the link. I looked it over and if I have an image as a link, I don't want there to be a visible link so according to the link here. http://www.quackit.com/css/css_hyperlinks.cfm
I should need to add this code if I don't want a visible link.
a:link { text-decoration: none }
Can you please tell me "where" I would add the above code. The site has 11 styles. What I 've been doing is selecting the image and then looking at the style associated with it and the image seems too use the "clearfix.css" style.. Can you lease tell me if this is correct and where I would add the code to the clearfix style? Thanks.
Here is the code for the "Clearfix" style.
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
html[xmlns] .clearfix {
display: block;
* html .clearfix {
height: 1%;
Put this code at the end of your styles (remove the previous one so that it does not interfere with this one) and then post back.
Good luck.
img {
display: block;
Jtanna and Murray, thanks for the reply.
Would I still need that code or would it be better to edit the current code than to just keep adding code? Just curious. Can I not edit the code's text decoration to fix or is your solution better. If you solution is better then would I just add your code to the bottom of the CSS style above? Thanks.

Acrobat Preferences: Enhance thin lines: OFF

Question:
Is there a way to save Page Display Preferences with a PDF? (NB: Not Document Properties)
Desired outcome:
To retain chosen Acrobat Preference: Unselected "Enhance thin lines" in PDF when forwarding file to others.
I have gone to Preferences -> Page Display -> Enhance thin lines and made sure it is NOT checked so that my lines show as they are in my source file.
Any advice/help appreciated. Thank you.

No, it's a user preference which cannot be saved with a file.

Is there a way to turn off "enhance thin lines" in Acrobat 7.0?

Hello all,
I am having problems properly viewing thin lineweights in Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
After reading several posts here, I believe that a solution to my problem will be to turn off the "enhance thin lines" options in the Page Display Preferences.
However, I am currently running Acrobat 7.0, and don't seem to see it there - is this a solution only for those running Acrobat 8.0 or later?
If so, could anyone help in figuring out how to essentially do the same thing in Acrobat 7.0?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Melodie.

There may be a better chance to get a reply if you ask in the Acrobat forums (this is the Adobe Reader forum).

Thin line at top of HD channels

When watching a number of HD channels, there is a very thin line above the picture box. The line looks like it is the bottom of the picture that was accidentally projected ontot he top of the picture.
I reset the reciever a few times and it goes away for a little while but seems to keep coming back.
Any suggestions?

This is a very common problem, it has to do witht he way your TV interprets and displays the digital signal. Sometimes it could be a bad HDMI cable. I had this problem with my 32" Samsung but haven't had it at all with my 47" Olevia using the same cable box. I had the same problem with Comcast using my 32" Samsung. I never tried this, but you might try modifying the output resolution and/or 4:3 override setting on the box through the settings menu and see if that clears it up.

How does enhance thin line work on Adobe reader X?

Hi there,
I noticed a display difference between different PDF readers. Especially in the rendering of thin line weights and widths and after a little research I discovered that Adobe reader X has a option called "enhance thin line", which when turned on (turned on by default) it seems to thicken/enbolden the thin lines.
Option is under "Edit->Preferences->Display->Enhance thin line
Opening these in a different PDF reader like PDFill you notice the same lines are thin by default and I assume this is how the drawing creator originally intended the viewer to see it.
My question is, is this setting only affect the electronic display? i.e. monitors and laptops screens or does this setting also affect the output print?
Also how does the Adobe reader decide which lines to articifically increase and which ones to leave alone and also by what level does it increase the lines to?
Does the reader parse the file and checks for any line widths that are for example less than 0.5 in width and then add .2 to all these lines?
Many questions I know but I just hope someone has some answers
Many thanks in advance.

Been searching around the internet but still can't find a answer, can anybody help?
