RMBP screen - more 'matte' like than prior MBPs?

I really like the screen on this new 15" rMBP.  Retina is amazingly sharp.  Looking at the exact same webpage and max brightness side by side w/ 2010 MBP (glossy screen) and this rMBP looks a bit more 'matte' like.  Does anyone else feel the same way?  I really like it!

Hi
I don't think you need to worry about the 'trueness' of the colour of the glossy screens it is very good. One of the digicam sites tested the glossy screen of the MacBook Pro, and OK he didn't like the fact it was glossy, he did like very much the results it gave.
I take a lot of photo's and use a Spyder calibration device to calibrate the colour of my MacBook Pro, my PowerBook G4 and a Formac Raven screen connected to a Shuttle PC. Looking at all three I can't see how anyone could say that the colour of the MacBook Pro glossy screen has been 'enhanced'.
I was prejudiced against a glossy screen but in the end I wanted a Mac so went for it glossy screen and all. I don't regret it I think it is easier to adjust for exposure using the glossy screen mac than the matt screen PowerBook or PC. I also like the way pictures look when on a glossy screen.
Yes if you are going to use your laptop outside in the sun or in brightly lit places where you have no control over the lighting then a glossy screen maybe a liability. But if you are going to use a glossy screen MacBook in a controlled environment when performing tasks such as picture editing then I think the glossy screen is great.
I don't use my MacBook out and about much so it has never been an issue for me, but I am more than pleased with the results I see on it in my home office.
You can see some of my photo's here:

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • MBP 17 sees many more wifi networks than MP

    I have a Mac Pro (Jan 2008) and a MacBook Pro 17" (Jan 2009).
    I've noticed, when I click on the Airport Icon on the menubar, the MacBook Pro scans and sees many more wifi networks than the Mac Pro does... 6 or more versus 3. (My network, and others in the neighborhood.)
    I'm curious. How is the Airport client card in the MBP different from the one in the MP? Does the MP get a weakling Airport card (expecting that it wouldn't move around too much?)
    I haven't yet had the time to experiment with moving my Airport Base Station too far away from the MP (more than a few feet.) What are your experiences with the Airport card in the Mac Pro? How does it compare with the wifi in your MacBook Pro?

    My MP was purchased online with the Airport Extreme card included.
    I had to have my MBP replaced, for a different reason. This new one doesn't see any more wifi networks than my MP does... it sees the same ones. Now my question has become... a non-issue. Too bad it didn't occur to me to record the specs of the AE in my previous MBP. It was probably the same as in my new MBP (?)
    Sysprof says the following about the Airport Card in my MBP:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D)
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.27)
    Wireless Channel: 7
    Sysprof says the following about the Airport Card in my MP:
    Wireless Card Type: Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmeare Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.27)
    Wireless Channel: 7
    The card type is (slightly) different !?

  • Attn: macbook pro won't start up past grey screen NO MATTER WHAT

    my macbook pro won't start up past the grey screen, NO MATTER WHAT I DO. i've searched all the discussions on this, and NOTHING WORKS. nothing caused this either - i was just browing the internet and using ichat, and my computer shut down, and that is when this started.
    I am EXTREMELY disappointed with this bullstein. My computer works great, etc., and I support mac and apple to the nth degree, but then some stupid crap like this happens and I can't use my computer at all. I have to use my sister's **** ibook g3 to even do this.
    PLEASE HELP. do NOT post what you have already posted in the other discussions, and i've already been welcomed to the boards. I can't go to an apple store because i'm on vacation in new mexico for the summer, and there no stores anywhere near here. is there any real advice around here? I need to use my computer. That is why I spent close to $4,000 for it with upgrades and software.

    where can i get an install disc for the macbook pro?
    You really need to use the one that came with your MBP. If you don't have it, a retail Tiger OS X disc should work.
    also, could an archive/install potentially free up some harddrive space on my computer?
    No, it will actually use more space, so you will need at least 6G of free space. To clean your hard drive, use WhatSize.

  • Blue/green screen garbage matte

    can I generate a garbage matte to crop images out of my chroma blue/green screen in fcp 3?
    powerbook g4, fcp 3, laCie 120g hd, laCie d2 dvd +- rw   Mac OS X (10.3.2)  

    i've a huge green screen to light.
    my subject takes up 10% of the screen.<
    then you're not doing this properly. Shoot your person close and scale them to fit your shot, don't shoot them wide.
    <div class="jive-quote">rather than light the entire screen i'd like to light around the subject (I will then see equipment/light stands, heads etc, in frame)< </div>
    You're not making much sense here.
    i'd like to generate a chroma key green matte over the objects i'd like to not see, (crop them out w/a green image) then key my backgd. image over the original & garbage matte image. < </div>
    Oh. Now I see. You don't want to change the color of the matte in the chromakeyer. You want a green matte slug to place over the video so you can chromakey it out.
    That's not how you do this stuff. Chromakeying is not rocket science but it's far more complicated than we c an explain in these little posties. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the whole thing and, unfortunately, this isn't a film school. Unless someone has the time to walk you through chromakeying as a technique, this is where you come to find out how to use FCP. There are hundreds of informational chromakey articles all over the Internet on the topic. Start with google or your local library.

  • Is there a way to blow up screens no matter what app I'm in so I can see

    I recently suffered a mini stroke and it effected my eye sight so now I cannot read small print even with my reading glasses. On the iPad, I can blow up the screen in most cases but some apps like Facebook I cannot allow you to blow up the screen. Is there any way to blow up the screen no matter what app I'm in??
    Also, kind of related to not being able to see...I recently discovered iTunes Radio. I was going thru and adding playlists to my stuff. Seemed easy enough. Until I reopened it today and I see "purchased" next to the only one listed playlist there. Now, I picked about 5 or 6 from their list of recommended list and did not once see anywhere where I was going to be charged. Now mind you my eye sight is messed up but what happened to the little box that would pop up and ask you if you were sure you wanted to make this purchase?? How can I get that back?
    And, finally, since I've made this purchase unknowingly, to an account that has no money in it, how do I change my billing info with Apple?
    Sorry so long, just been having a bad year. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!!
    God Bless and have a Great Day!!!

  • Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

    My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
    Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

    You're welcome

    You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

  • Rendered video is more washed out than preview

    I'm new to FCP but expanding from PC/vegas. In the latter the preview looks more washed out than the rendered output but there were ways to preview what your output would look like depending on whether it would be viewed on a tv or computer.
    My FCP output when viewed in QT isn't quite as saturated as my preview in FCP or compressor. The blacks aren't as deep nor are the colors as vibrant. I would say it's about 7-12% less "deep" as an estimate. I used compressor with the default youtube settings. I know there will be some loss in the conversion but the amount of color change I'm seeing seems to be more of a preview settings type of thing than a result of the export from the way it looks. Am I missing something or do I need to crank on my color settings a little harder?
    THanks, Billy

    Hi
    Me total Amateur - just thinking.
    How do You judge Your renderings etc.
    I don't at my Mac monitor but connected an A/D box Canopus ADVC-300 and this to a TV (ref. monitor)
    Here I see in real-time what I'm doing and if I'm satisfied with it.
    When burned to DVD - it is very close to this. (so is never the Mac monitor)

  • Where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars?

    where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars? I broke it a few days ago and so far havent been able to find a place to repair it. Also,it would be best if the place was online, because live in a small town with virtually no places to get this done. If you could help that would be sooo amazing! Thank you!

    Keep in mind that Apple does NOT sell parts

  • G5 dual 2.7GHz refuses to get past the grey apple logo screen no matter what I do!

    Hoping that someone might be able to help, as I think I have tried pretty much everything and I’m running out of ideas now!
    It’s a G5 dual 2.7GHz that refuses to get past the grey apple logo screen no matter what I do!
    everything passes the extended apple hardware test (2.5)
    3GB of RAM (2x1GB brand new from crucial)
    won’t start from a original OS 10.58 disk
    passes disk utility when connected to another mac via FW target mode
    nothing other than keyboard/monitor attached
    all of this done; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    tried alternative HDD’s without any joy
    won’t safe boot
    stays at the grey apple logo screen and the fans then start revving up excessively
    Any other suggestions or advice very gratefully received!

    Though it exists on my Universal 10.5.8 Install, it does NOT appear to be a loaded extension....
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
    BD, is that showing up in your PM's extensions folder?  I wouldn't expect to see it loaded in a PM, but I wonder why the installer loads it unless the 10.5 installer loads a system that could boot an Intel, too, when it installs on a PM.  (I read somewhere this weekend that an Intel will actually boot from an APM formatted disc as well as a GUID formatted disc)  Curious.
    I recall seeing yesterday or Saturday on one of the discussion threads someone having that extension show up in a verbose boot on a PM that was having problems booting into Leo.  I think I advised trashing the kernel caches and touching Extensions in that one, but it is puzzling that it shows up here as well.

  • There is more to life than Football

    Having had a quick look at your listings, I see we have lost Drag racing, Baseball and North American Ice hockey. Am I right in that ESPN now starts at 10.00 hrs so that the live Ausie Rules games have just gone out the window.
    As I said in the subject line there is more to life than 22 over paid prima donnas kicking a bag of air about, and in Englands case failing dismally.

    Sounds like a good trip! I've just recently got back from Kotor & Podgorica in Montenegro, doing that trip by train, but I did the arrangements myself. Got to love travelling by train across Europe. You get to see so much & it's so much more civilised than flying!
    Anyway, back to the original topic: What other sports should BT look to bid for when the rights come up? I'd like to see them go for the Super15 Rugby, as that would complement the AP and Top14 quite well (Yes, I'm a Rugby nut!). How about some of the Paralympics events such as the Athletics that's underway at the moment in Lyon? You could  build on the success & interest from last year's Paralympics. I'd also like to see other sports like GAA added to the list...
