Studio Display 17" for coloring??

Hi
Could anyone help me? I'm doing video editing, and planning to get a color correct monitor.. But they are really expensive, i cant afford them. And i found a 17" studio disp for cheap. And what i'm thinking about is buying that, and using an other normal eg Samsung 24" too. The Apple Studio display only for checking the color, and the other for editing (as Apple color needs 1920/1280 display..)
Do you think its a workin idea? Can I connect the old studio display nvidia gef9400? and will leopard use it well? is it worth?
thank you guys!

Yes, it is harmless. The CRT itself has the potential to act as a high voltage capacitor, but the charge bleeds off eventually, in no more than a few days. The charge can be built up again by static electricity. For example, if you took a wool sweater and vigorously rubbed the glass screen, the CRT bottle capactior could again find a high voltage charge on it. But I am sure you don't plan on doing that.

  • Apple Studio Display USB Hub Evaporated Again

    I had this before and thought it was due to updates and my G4MDD DP1GHZ, however after installing the smelly new PSU, the USB Hub in the Apple Studio Display worked for 3 days, that was with the Apple USB Keyboard and Mouse connected to it. Today I got home, and fired up the computer and wanted to install a CD with updates. The mouse was working. Though when I tried to open the superdrive with the open superdrive key on the keyboard above the star sign on the number entry area of the keyboard, the superdrive would not respond, I opened it with the mouse from the Finder Bar, I put in the CD and then the mouse and keyboard went dead, no connection through the Bus on the Apple Studio Display. I forced shut down, holding my finger over the on/off illuminated switch on the Apple Studio Display. I waited and booted up and there was nothing to the keyboard or mouse so I unplugged it from one USB socket on the display and fully plugged it into the other on the display. Again nothing. So I got my USB extension cord out and fully plugged that in to the USB Hub on the rear of the G4. Mouse and Keyboard working again I searched for the HUB in the Apple Studio Display in Apple System Profiler and it had again evaporated like it had for six months before, after I replaced the original PSU with the exchanged smelly one, it sprang back to life for the last three or so days, working happily but alas, a repeat evaporation. Who knows why?
    I'll just repeat that the keyboard and the mouse are fine, again fully plugged into the onboard USB Bus, does the Apple Studio Display have any diagnostic software available able to detect the functionality of the USB Hub in the Apple Studio Display? That would be a help in sussing out what is really happening between the Radeon 9000 Pro and the Apple Studio Display.
    May I add that the Display part of the Apple Studio Display works fine.
    Please advise.

    After taking another look inside the Case and checking the screws which secured the Radeon 9000 Pro AGP/PCI Card, I removed the screw for the Radeon, the card sprang away to it's preferred location in the AGP Slot and I put the screw back in, now the USB in the Apple Studio is working every boot.
    I suspect that the heat in the case has warped the Radeon Card which then sprang it into an undesirable angle in the AGP slot causing a poor contact to the pins which connect the USB part to the Apple Studio Display.
    Just to add. I do unplug the telephone line from the wall and the Power Cord from the wall socket after shutting down. This is because I do not trust the Power or the Telephone Company after losing the internal modem and the original power supply in 2007.
    Touch wood and hope for the best. I can't say I have the same confidence in the products made in China and assembled in Singapore I had when I originally purchased this computer in Australia in 2003. Buyer beware.

  • Color Bars all over my Studio Display Occuring steady

    Just turned on the computer, and my screen is full of different colored vertical bars, and weird tings everywhere. Did several restarts, no changes? All has been fine until this???
    I have not installed any new hardware or software lately.
    Help needed please. Thanks for all suggestions.
    I'm a G5 1.8 Dual OS10.4.6
    It appears that the desktop is on screen, but very difficult to be usuable except the pull down menus are slightly visable. I did try a restart holding the shift key down...but the same mess came up only without the desktop behind the bars..think it was the log on page.

    I too have an Apple 21" Studio Display. I love it as it is very accurate for print based graphic design.
    I also get the weird color bars. Used to work fine on my G4, but on my G5 dual 2g I get the weirdness. Could be the VGA to DVI deal.
    I remedy this by going to the display preferences and changing the resolution to another setting. That clears the mess and then I change it back.
    Simple and quick! Other than that I have no perminant answer.

  • No adapter available for CRT studio display..?

    Hi everybody,
    just got a handmedown old crt studio display:
    http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macreleased/images/studio17_side.jpg
    i thought i'd get an adapter and plug it to my imac to increase screen real estate (have been using a VGA display for some time like that)
    Not so simple; the ADC connector seems like it's giving me no choice. I also have a latest macbook, also with mini-dvi output and same issue therefore.
    Have been browsing forums but all i could dig was info related to the flat LCD panels and newer. Same for manufacturers, all adapters point to newer monitors.
    So it's like either i keep for the looks or buy an old powermac G4/450 to suit..? Are these the only alternatives?
    I imagine I'm not the very first person to ever come across this situation and maybe someone will be kind enough to offer some advice/share experience?
    Cheers!

    Chiz,
    I own: Samsung 191T+, 19-inch LCD; Apple 20-inch LCD; Apple 23-inch LCD. There is no question (in my mind) that the Apples are sexier looking. I like the wide screen and the design. But, the price is stiff. The Samsung has a traditional 3:4 aspect ratio as opposed to the Apple 10:16. The Samsung models ending in the letter T have typically been of higher quality.
    You should spend some time on the MWave website and look at the various Samsung models.
    My Samsung has been connected to my iBook (via the analog (VGA)) port and to my PowerBook and PowerMac (via the digital (DVI)) port.
    I won't buy ViewSonic because of bad experiences (5 blown high voltage power supplies) on their CRT models. I have no experience with Sony nor NEC.
    Unless you are a gamer, you can ignore reponse time. Resolution is fixed for the screen size. LCDs have a native resolution; unlike CRTs. All manufacturers lie about contrast and brightness.
    I recommend buying monitors from local stores. That way you can inspect YOUR monitor before you buy it.
    I would recommend that you call Other World Computing and talk to them about video cards.

  • 15" studio display - colored stripes

    Hi,
    Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge. I was just given a G4 (used to use one at work) with a 15" Apple Studio Display LCD. When I turned the display on, I got a lovely display of stripes of various colors. Each time I turn it on, the colors/width/intensity changes.
    Is this the disply in its death throes, or is it the G4's video card (as someone pointed out to me)?
    Help! I love the G4 but it would be better to be able to use it!

  • Windows XP Driver for 17" Studio Display via A1006 Adapter?

    No luck searching Google, or this forum. Has Apple released a Win. XP monitor driver for the 17" Studio Display using the ADC-to-DVI (A1006) adapter?
    Is there an alternative, non-apple driver?
    How can I control monitor brightness on a Win XP box?

  • Studio Display 21" with Mac Mini?

    I am considering getting a Mac Mini as an economical upgrade to my B/W G3 system but I want to make sire that my monitor is going to work with it. I have the origingal blue and white 21" Studio Display. the System Profiler says this......
    Displays:
    Studio Display 21:
    Display Type: CRT
    Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
    Depth: 32-bit Color

    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
    Will this display work with a new Mac Mini? I really do not have the $ right now to get a new Monitor and this one works great anyway. I am also wondering how my current software,,,,,,, Photoshop,Indesign etc. will work with the new Intel Macs?
    THanks for any input
    MyShunshyn

    Can't help on the screen much - believe you need to get an adapter, as the previous post indicated. You might check in the Apple dislay area at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=111
    Regarding your applications, as long as you're not running under OS 9 or earlier, your applications will run on the Intel mini under Rosetta emulation. Universal applications are those that have been modified to run on both the PPC and Intel macs, and they run natively. Those applications that have not been made universal run under Rosetta emulation. Photoshop is an example of an application that has not been made universal yet (supposed to happen this year with Photoshop CS3). Running under emulation does extract a performance penalty, of up to 50%, versus running in native universal mode.
    If you have applications running under OS9 or in the OS X classic environment, you'll need to upgrade to an OS X version in order to run on the Intel-based mini, and you may find there are Universal versions of your software, which would be even better.

  • How to set up display properties for a crosstab is CSS?

    I am woundring how to setup css class and code like in this tutorial.

    Thanks.

    Kevin,
    I could not get this to work on my installation; perhaps you can review and "run with it" or someone better with CSS can assist.
    The gist of it is there is a class .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert1Background to define the status symbol for the alerts
    Based on your Exceptions in the BEx query, Good 1 is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert1Background
    Good 2 is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert3Background
    etc... Bad 3 (red symbol) is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert9Background
    I tried the following custom CSS on the crosstab, note using IE (which now we can no longer use until Microsoft patches)
    myAlerting.sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlternating{
    background-color:#F9F9F9 !important;

  • Display Calibration Creates Color Profile Problems.

    I haven't received any response out of the MBP Display forum and I thought you guys might have better insight anyway because you are dealing with color calibration more often. Here it is:
    I used colorsync utility to calibrate my monitor, hoping it would at least get the colors more accurate than they are with the "Color LCD" profile. The Color LCD profile has a bad yellow tinge to it. I went through the process 4 times so I would be able to choose the best profile out of the 4. (Now I can't delete the extra profiles but I guess that is a different topic...) The color accuracy and the gray-tone is MUCH better BUT I have a slight (understatement) saturation problem.
    My problem is after using Color Sync, ALL of my REDS are oversaturated and blown out. There is a problem with the blues and greens as well but it isn't as bad. Of course, they look fine in non color managed applications (ie FireFox) but everything else makes my photos look horrible. Even the RAW files straight out of the camera look blown out.
    I had, at first edited these files on a PC so they always looked fine but now that I have switched to Mac I have noticed how oversaturated they are in all of its color managed applications. (Safari, preview, and even the desktop.) I thought perhaps that I had just pumped up the contrast and saturation too high on the PC and the color profile was now creating a problem because the color was set for an un-profiled file. BUT after viewing the unaltered .NEF's straight out of my camera, they too are oversaturated.
    Now, I have some wallpapers I had downloaded from the web that look the same as before. It is just MY OWN photographs that are oversaturated. Obviously I have chosen the wrong color profile or something is wrong with my workflow. The wallpaper that looks the same doesn't have a profile assigned it when I view-info. It just labels the color space as RGB. All my photos that have problems, have a color profile assigned. I am using sRGB as recommended. There are a few still using Adobe RGB (which is what my camera defaults to) and they have the same oversaturation problem.
    Aperture is set to export with an sRGB profile and CS2 uses sRGB as well.
    Any advice? What monitor and color management profile's are you guys using?
    I can't tell what is right anymore. What should I edit my photos to look good in? The only MONITOR profile that doesn't blow them out is Adobe/Apple RGB, Color LCD, and a few of the other default installed profiles.
    I've got a bad case of color vertigo!

    sorry uberfoto, did not get what MBP meant at first.
    what Jan says about color calibration tool is right....and start again from the RAW.....
    i am photographer in the advertisement, reportage, portraits and landscape.
    my problem was to get the thinks printed as I saw them on the screen.
    here what I have to say on that (part of another discussion):
    ".... Sorry, but no AppleTFT Display comes close to a hardware calibrated display. Maybe they are semi-professional. I do not say this to insult Apple, ore somebody else, but i say this to sway out the illusion of , " if I just spend more money on the calibration tool and software, I´ll have better prints". It´s just not possible, because the display cant show what is there. A Apple CRT Studio Display is far better in this. I you want to have a flat-screen TFT Display to bring good results, you have to choose one that is able to be hardware calibrated and has a higher lookup table (EIZO, LaCie, QuatoGrafics......)
    I use use one professional EIZO CG21" and one semi-prof. EIZO FlexScanL985EX(21") and the diffrence is important between the two.
    But i need only one to be Print Proof ready.
    Before i was always afraid when i gave the picture file to my client, because of what my pictures look like once it is printed. Now the outcome is right or differs only very little from what I saw on the screen. my calibration tool is EYE ONE. "..
    BUT your main problem is how it looks in the web.
    my thoughts and suggestion on this:
    1. most people see the web on PC Display. those use a gamma of 2.2
    (apple = 1.8) so pictures appear more blue with more contrast. this setting is made to hide the low ability of the system and display to show colors as they are and give and give crispy impression. So you will have to consider this when you prepare the pictures for the web. therefor the standard calibration of your MBP is best for your needs. ( for printing the Display has to be set on 5.600 kelvin ,that would be to warm 4 the wwweb).
    2.
    a) In the beginning I use Aperture 1.5 (or Lightroom) to select and prepare the pictures as I like them.
    b) then I export them in 8 bit/300 dpi in the size they will be used as PSD or TIFF.
    c) I will then open them in Photoshop (color-settings=web /internet) make the cleaning and so on.( 4 the web I always increase the saturation because sRGB and JPG will throw away lots of colors).
    d) AND NOW "save for the web ". This is definitely the best tool to prepare pictures for the web. on the right upper part of the window there is a flash-open menu where you may choose to see the colors like in windows or macintosh system.
    and on the lower right of the application-window there is a roll-down menu where you may preview the results in different browsers of your choice.
    It is here where you can produce amazing high Q pictures 4 the web under 100 kb.
    Hope this may help.
    good luck,

  • Apple Studio Display 21inch - calibration fails

    G'day all, I've reviewed the topics on this display and none seem to fit my problem. Further, I'm convinced that it's not a display problem but an OS Tiger 10.4.11 problem but I reckon that this is the forum that will be best suited to answer.
    In essence, the problem is that a get an overly white screen with very bold colours - as if the contrast and brightness is on steroids and I cannot get past the first page of the ColorSync Assistant. This condition occurred as a result of allowing a service technician to use my Mac to set up a satellite modem - you'd hope that technicians would be more responsible . . . . .
    Anyhow, as I said, I'm convinced that the problem has more to do with OS 10.4.11 than the display as this works perfectly with another user. Specifically, the technician was logged in as PowerMacUser (isn't that original?) and that is the user which gets a problem display. If I log in as another user (i.e. PowerCenterUser - yes! there's one of these on the network) then the screen is normal and I can calibrate the display. So ColorSynch and the Studio Display are working.
    But when I log in again as PowerMacUser nothing has changed. I did make sure that the color profiles in the Computer/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Display were the same as those used for PowerCenterUser even though they are global, but that didn't make any difference. And I have tried to find out where user-specific data is used to modify display profiles but without success.
    I have a suspicion that it may have something to do with a file named <boot> but I won't pursue this unless I have a prod to so do.

    This is an update. I'm a bit impatient so I got up at 02:30 and did some more research.
    I found that the file boot.efi was still in my trash (OldUsers . .System>Library>CoreServicesboot.efi) and followed BDAqua's excellent advice in regard to this (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11661635&#11661635).
    Thus I verified both discs in the PowerMac,did a Safe boot - which failed to correct the colour problem. I then reinstalled Mac OS 10.4 - which failed to correct the colour problem and I'm now in the process of bringing this up to OS 10.4.11.
    The only approach that I can think of now is to create a new user since users other than PowerMacUser (see previous post) do not experience the colour problem.
    Any, more creative, ideas would be welcome.

  • Apple 21" studio Display monitor-help

    I have a G4 and just got an apple 21" studio display monitor
    I work in photoshop CS2 what do I put the resolution at? Color and refresh?
    what should the white point and gamman be? what should the profile on themonitor display?
    I WENT INTO THE PREFERENCES AND LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY..THANKS..JAN

    (for my photos the service I use said to use sRGB the resolution)....
    Then open CS2 and under Photoshop scroll down to Color Settings, go to Work Space and set the RGB tab to sRGB. At the top of the menu under Monitor it should be your Apple 21" Display.
    If it is not then it will change after you calibrate the monitor. Open System Preferences/Desktop and change your desktop to a medium gray (you can change it back after you make the necessary color corrections). Now choose Display, select your preferred screen resolution, and millions of color. Now choose Color from the upper tab to Calibrate the monitor. If you check the box "Show profile for this display only" the menu will be simplified. Now select Calibrate and use the professional mode. Just follow the on screen instructions and do all of the color setting using the 1.8 gamma and native whiter point.
    After the monitor is calibrated you will be asked to save and name the calibration. I would recommend a name similar but different from the default Apple 21" Display setting, you can even include the date if you calibrate often.
    Reopen Photoshop and check the Work Space the RGB/Monitor the setting should be your recent selected calibration.

  • MacBookPro 3.1 display is negative mode, Apple Studio Display is positive

    When I have the laptop hooked up to the Apple Studio Display 17", all of a sudden, the 'polarity' switched on the display. That is to say it displayed the opposite color mode from the laptop.
    I can switch back and forth from positive(regular) to negative using the universal access preference control panel. How do I get the monitor and the laptop to agree?

    Hi, the problem is a combination of Boot Camp 2.1 and the ADC->DVI box. I've described a solution here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7211956&#7211956
    Basically:
    [1] Plug everything in normally
    [2] Boot into Mac OS X
    [3] Set brightness to what you want (eg. in System Prefs, or via keyboard)
    [4] Unplug the USB cable belonging to the ADC->DVI adaptor (this means anything plugged into the monitor now won't work, so you may need to also move peripherals from the monitor to the mac, or to a USB hub)
    [5] Boot into Windows (XP SP2 or SP3 in my case)
    [6] cue "I can see clearly now the rain has gone"
    The disadvantages to this are:
    [1] You're a USB socket down on the deal (the display gave you 2 but took up 1, now you only have the 1 that it was being plugged into)
    [2] To readjust brightness (if you find yourself doing this regularly... I don't) you need to go Mac OS X-> plug cable back in -> adjust brightness -> remove cable -> reboot into XP.
    For me (2007 Mac Pro, 23" stripey Apple Cinema Display with ADC->DVI adaptor) it was happening under an ATI 1900XT and also under an Nvidia 8800GT, each time I'd tried reformatting the Windows partition, reinstalling Windows XP etc. Whenever it was Boot Camp 2.0.x it was fine, but adding Boot Camp 2.1 to the party wrecked the brightness. XP SP3 made no difference whatsoever.
    Of note, if you'd rather not sacrifice the USB port (it didn't bother me, as 2.1 also made my 802.11n network finally usable under XP, which was more important to me than losing a USB socket), the original poster in the above linked article suggested reinstalling the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers (from the Leopard disc) as an alternative fix (seemingly they'll overwrite anything Boot Camp 2.1 installed, thus "rewinding"). As I say, for me I needed the wireless network so didn't want to go back, but it might work for you as a 2nd route.
    I've filed a bug on this, so let's hope the Boot Camp team knock out a fix soon,
    Ken

  • Apple Studio Display 17" darker bottom half

    I have an apple studio display 17" as a second screen for my
    MacBook Pro 15", somehow it has darker colors on the bottom half of it, don't know the reason, is it magnetized?
    Please Help.

    Sometimes those ports just die. Wouldn't be the first time.
    Other times, it is the ADC connector that is the issue.
    Try replugging the ADC connector.
