The Best Laptop Display Today

So.... after all of the discussion and evolution of the Macbook and MBP since its release which machines have the best monitors? It sounds like there was a point that the MB had a better monitor than the MBP! What about back lite LED.... how important is that. I gather that the 17 inch does not have that feature... How much of an improvement is the the back lite screen?

The LED displays have a different colour profile to them, they use less power and a most important they're environmentally friendly. I like them although I never had a problem with the previous MBP display either so I don't think you can take that for much.

What is the best laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
Thanks for Helping me .

I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.

How do you know the best iMac display size

how do you know the best iMac display size
Only on them fits in the screen window and that makes the font so tiny. The others are too wide or too tall. I usually view at 150 - 200% for vision issues.

You say it's better to do the Media Browser? I'm fairly new to movie, dvd and garage band. How would I go about using the Media Browser instead of straight to iDVD?
Select Your project - go up to Share - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD)
In iDVD select a nice theme - click on Media button - click on Movie - Select Your movie.
NOW - Save as a DiskImage - and test this before burning DVDs - if this Plays OK then either burn the Image by using Disk Util tool (and set down burn-speed to x4) - or burn via iDVD (will take more time)
I want to keep as much quality as I can.
Then don't use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they all discard every second line resulting in less quality on the DVD. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version.
Also...I tried to split my project in iMovie...but couldn't find a way. I wound up just making a copy and then deleting out a handful of scenes from the copy...I still have the original at 4:12hrs. Is there a way in iMovie to split a project?
I would make a copy and cut away a bit from the end - calling this Part 1 and from start of the other copy Part 2.
OR - there are other programs that can squees in more to a DVD e.g. Roxio Toast™ - BUT this has two cons.
• It costs - to me it was well spent mony as it can so much more e.g. back engineer a DVD to an editable form
• Squeesing in more on a DVD - costs in QUALITY - and as You want as much as it can be - then 90 minuts portions encoded with Pro-Quality encoding and full quality interlasced material from a video-editor that delivers this is the way to get 100% of what DVDs can do.
DVD is as standard only SD-Video - HD not possibly. Then You need Blu-Ray. (also Roxio Toast™)

What is the best Apple display for a 733 quicksilver?

Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest the best Apple display for a 733 Quicksilver G4? Bigger is better. I think I have the 32MB video card with ADC and VGA connectors. Thanks!

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
Thanks

I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
It runs premiere like a dream.

What is the best secondary display for my mbp 2015 13"

I am searching for a cheaper solution than the thunderbolt display for my new MBP 2015 13". I would like to get a display that is not difficult to calibrate and works seamlessly with mac products. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hugh. I did some reserch for the price. I just get a AOC I2769VM and for 229,99 in amazon was the best option for the money that i have at the moment. The monitor is big. i love it. color are excellent for the price. you can use the HDMI or use the mini display port to display port cable. I did connect my external speaker to the back and presto. Note: these monitor have a sticker that made the screen mate. do not peel that off.
I add my apple tv on the other HDMI and i can watch it. IPS 1080P 1920x1080 etc etc. If money is a limitation these is the best for buck
here is the link http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2769Vm-27-Inch-Frameless-LED-Lit/dp/B00CLZ04VW/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427542191&sr=8-1&keywords=I2769VM

Please reply with the best laptops that can suit to my needs '̿'\̵͇̿̿\ .....(^o^)

Hi foks!
I allready have like 3 or 4 years a HP 530 with this capabillities:
Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2)
2,00 GB RAM
32 - bit operation system
Procesor Genuine Intel (R) CPU T2300 @ 1,66GHz 1,67GHz
The system is classified by it self with the rate of 3,0... so i definetly need something beter
So I need a new laptop that will aloud me to use the next things as the best they can get:
1.- I want to use the full potential of programs such as Ableton Live 8 i mean without affecting my mixes, by the CPU Loads, because i like to play audio in multiple and different channels, unfortunately as normal this make my laptop slower.
2.- It must aloud me to watch movies with 1080p Bluray (Rip or Discs) format and better if it can burn this type of discs.. I normally can only watch this movies on Windows Media Classic - Home Cinema via codecs, and by doing some suitable configurations, this always gets me tired at the end..so the limit size of movies that i can watch are about 15 GB. I actually played one anime movie with 20 GB very, very flawless but as i say.. it gets worse with files that have more capacity and real picture. And i cant watch any bluray Disc even if it is ripped (accessed as a disc by the folders) and they just have like 7GB size...
3.- I recently buyed a Seagate External FreeAgent Desk USB 2.0 that has 2 TB and i allready need more space xD..so it will be great for the new laptop to have external connexions for some FireWire400, USB 2.0, eSATA equipement's... and better if the size capacity of the laptop is close to the one of the external Desk i mean about 2TB
This are extra requirments that i would like to have, but not primarly as the ones before:
4.- I am a true fan of games, but since this is not a console well... i would like to play some games with real HD quality such as StarCraft 2, Assasins Creed, Battlefield 2, WoW, you know the classic and the newe ones. I actually woud like some laptop that is capable of playing PS3 games (whatever way if it is possible ;P)
So please write down a list of laptops that have the primary needs that i want to have, and some another list of the ones that may be "better" in capabillities including the videgame functions.
Thanks

Go to an Apple store.
I'm not being facetious - I've owned several HP laptops, and several Apple laptops and desktops. Apple does everything better. The problems I've had with HP and Windows are enormous compared with Apple. My newest Apple laptop is about seven years old, and it is faster than my two year old HP. One of my HPs has been back to the factory three times in one year for repairs. Now it's out of warranty and pretty much junk. The two year old Pavilion (Vista Home Premium 64) is now pretty slow, it works OK but not as fast as my old Macs.
Every Windows software update has been a problem and generally causes the computer to run slower. Meanwhile every OS X update causes my Apples to run faster. I know you don't believe me. That's OK. No one believes this until they try it for themselves.
Windows used to be OK, but has been steady downhill since XP. I have bought my last Windows computer ever. Now I am looking at Macbook Pros for my next laptop, since the last one is still going strong after seven or eight years I expect a new one should too. The only thing I've had to do is replace its battery, but just once in seven years.
Apple support is better, much better. Just look at the Apple user discussions forum and you'll see lots of very informed people willing to help. This board is full of complaints like mine and help seems virtually nonexistent.
I think HP is dead as a company too. Used to be great, but now they just make cheap disposable computers and printers. Most of their revenue comes from selling overpriced ink.
So for your questions:
Ableton Live 8 has an OS X version.
Blu-Ray: No Apple laptops have a Blu-Ray option but there are plenty of aftermarket internal and external Blu-Ray drives. I think Blu-Ray licensing fees are the problem.
External drives: All Apple computers have Firewire 400/800 except for the low end laptops. All have USB 2.0. The maximum volume size OS X can handle is 8 exabytes (8 billion gigabytes). Not sure about eSATA. All their internal HDs are SATA drives though.
Gaming - I'm not a gaming person but I have many friends who started out with questions like yours and none of them ever stayed with Windows. They didn't believe me either, since they all thought once a computer is two or three years old it is junk. After buying Macs they know better now. One friend in particular spent $5000 on what he described as a "custom high end Windows gaming computer", after a year of problems he bought the most expensive iMac there is, for half as much (27" Intel Core i7). He says the iMac is better. After a few months of not using his $5000 windows desktop he practically gave it away.
So bring your skepticism to an Apple store. Leave your credit card at home though :-)
Good luck.

Inquire about the best laptop specifications for Developing Windows Apps and 3D modelling Animation using "Kinect for Windows v2"?

I need some help in choosing laptop that is most compatible with "Kinect for Windows v2"; in order to develop Windows Apps, and 3D modelling Animation and Character Design. Which is better (Specifications):
HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p150ne
AMD A10-5745M +
AMD Radeon R7 M260 (2 GB DDR3L dedicated) +
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OR
HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p034ne
Intel Core i5-4210U + NVIDIA GeForce 840M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) + 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L

The second system with the Intel chipset will more than likely have the Intel USB3 chipset required for Kinect. As for GPU they are similar, but the i5 with DDR3 1600MHZ ram is a better option. Keep in mind, if you are doing anything in-depth for
3D, a laptop isn't the best options, but if you have to go mobile then you have to decide what is best for your requirements.

Anyone know the best "generic" display profile

Hi,
I have a 23" CD and i don't want to spend any money with software or anything else. I do photo editing, etc., but not anything "critical." Is there a preset in OS X that will give you the best, for what it's worth, display settings. Obviously you can pick any one of them and eventually your eyes will adjust, but I want to hear from people who've had experience and success with one preset
thanks
Jeff

FWIW, I have found that the "default" profile used by 10.3 to be too washed out to be of much use, even for the "casual user". The next best (IMMHO) is "Wide Gaumet RGB". In order to use this profile, you will have to deselect the "Show profiles for this display only" checkbox in the Displays/Color preference pane. You might also want to play around with the "Expert Mode" calibration tool (click on "Calibrate" in the Displays/Color preference pane). Run the calibrator in subdued light with your eyes 2-3 feet from the screen. At first it's hard to see what you are supposed to see but you will get the "hang of it" after a few minutes. The first profile you create will most likely be way off but by then you will have a good idea of how the calibration tool works. It takes a few minutes to run through all of the screens but you can end up with a fairly useable profile.
Then download this grayscale chart and look at the extreme white and black swatches. The white should be pure with no trace of color and the black should be "jet". You can also check http://www.photo-tech.co.uk/monitor_cal.html>this chart. there are others with up to 256 shades of gray but you pretty much have to pay for those!
Then, get some primary color chips (from the paint store...and make sure you get primary red blue and green.) You want primary red, blue and green. Now create three swatches of color using hex values 0000FF for blue, FF0000 for red and 00FF00 for green. Compare the tone of the color chips to your computer swatches (just hold them up to the display) to see how close your calibrated values are.
Without buying a calibration tool, that's about as close as you are going to get.

What is the best external display to use with Tecra A8?

This may be to broad of a question, but I am in the market for an external display for my Tecra A8. Around the 400 eruo price range. Any suggestions?

Hi
What monitor size do you want to bye? 17?? or 19???
I have read checked the product test on some websites and the Samsung SyncMaster 970P 19?? is not a bad choice. You should get it for 400Euros.
But generally it??s not easy to say which screen is the best. I think you should visit some computer dealers and compare the external displays. You know you can check the brightness, brilliance, contrast and the reaction time. It??s important if you want to play games. It should support a low value. For example 8-6 ms

Hi can anyone recommend the best laptop to use most adobe products ?

Hi I'm wanting to buy a new laptop for uni to use adobe programmes such as photoshop, illustrator, in design and most other programmes?

While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

What is the best laptop or desktop to make and record music on?

i'm a muscian and heard mac is great to record on and they all come with garageband recording studio. is their a perticular one thats perfect for recording? and can i customize one for making music if they allready dont have one? thank you.

THANKS! STATION_TWO for the "over-correct-answer" you give................
If I'm honest, the answer of Richard was for me enough to realize where I made a "wrong inference" in understanding color management.
He is for me the best teacher in this case, I've learned something from him because he's talking on my level.
By the way: the english language is not my native language... so my questions should have to be read with understanding of grammatical expressions from other languages >> ("The color management is know by me…").
Again: Richard, in this case, read my question properly and has helped me on my way.

Need help choosing the best laptop or desktop for video editing.

Hi guys. I'm a videographer and am in need of upgrading my current Dell Dimension 8300 desktop to either another desktop or a laptop. My current Dell is just too slow. It takes forever to render a video.
Anyhow, what do you guys recommend for video editing? I'd like something with plenty of hard drive space, plenty of memory, and a powerful video card. There are just too many to choose from and was hoping to get some feedback.
Thank you,
Brian

You can find a fairly cheap quad core desktop with a nice video card. So if you need something that will last a while and not cost too much I would go this route.
If you want a laptop, put yourself in one of these categories: someone who needs high mobility/battery life (14 in screen or smaller), someone who needs high mobility with a big screen (15.4in), or someone who needs a powerful computer with a big screen (17-18.4 in).
Don't worry too much about laptop brands, only a handful of them actually make their own laptops, most of the big brands use the same two or three laptop manufacturers.
Get the most powerful intel processor you can afford, and put either a 9 series nvidia, or an ati radeon 4800 series in, four gb of ram, and a 7200 rpm hard disk.
After that it really comes down to price and personal style, I would stay away from the hp laptops, the brand that they use doesn't do so well making the internal components.
Here are some good picks.
1) ASUS G Series G50VT-X3 (15.4in)
2) Sager 5793 (17in)
3)ASUS N80 Series N80Vn-X5 (14.1in)
Asus actually manufactures their own laptops, and my experience with them has been spectacular. The Sager is a rebranded Clevo, which is one of the brands alienware, falcon northwest, and other high end companies use.
