The display of my MacBookPro Penryn is 262k colours! Dithering! Terrible!

Hi everyone! My name is Marco and I'm a new mac user from Italy... 30 days ago I bought a new Penryn MacBookPro 2.5 Ghz 15" matte in order to use it for my photographic work... today I was using it to open some nefs taken with my Nikon D300... macro shots... In the backgroud of my photos I found no smooth colors but pixelation... In order to compare the result I opened the photos with my Eizo Lcd with my pc and there weren't problems... Unbelievable, the same photo on my Eizo Lcd or on the Lcd of my 6years old Compaq Laptop looks better and "normal"... the green background has smooth changes of colour... in my MacBookPro seems a "stair"
So going round on the net I found the problem with MacbookPro's dispalys, colorblindmac... ecc... I downloaded SwitchResX and I found the 2 product codes:

I called Apple Italy Service... They told me that they don't know... but there's something wrong... but... they can't say nothing... That I have to take it to the Apple Service...
This afternoon I'will take the macbook pro to their certificated service... and then? Maybe they will substitute it......
I'm hopeless

  • Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

  • Complain regarding the display of my 13" macbookpro

    hi,
    I couldn't find another way to do this so i've decided to write here what happened to me. Two weeks ago i bought the new model of macbookpro 13" and after a week i've noticed spots and death pixels on my display. I went to the service store where they inspected my laptop and told me that hey are going to replace my laptop due to reported problems. I had to wait severals days for it to be replaced. When i took the other macbookpro 13", after a few days the same thing started happening to this one too. I am really disappointed and angry. I don't know why this is happening to me and what's wrong. I called the service store and i am still waiting for an answer.

    I couldn't find another way to do this so i've decided to write here what happened to me.
    Okay. And...? What do you want us to do or say about it? We're users here just like you and are in no position to help in this matter.

  • How do you add additional resolution options in the display settings for the MacbookPro?

    I am using a Dell external monitor with my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch.  The resolution is 1900x1200 which is not one of the display selections for an external monitor in the Macbook settings.  How do I update the display settings to support this monitor?

  • Cinema Display to a MacBookPro. DVI versus Mini-Port.

    Hello, Wanting to hook up a Cinema Display to a MacBookPro Intel Duo with the DVI port (not Mini-Port. Not Thunderbolt).
    Is there an adapter that converts the DVI config to work with a Cinema Display with a Mini-Port connector or do I need the version of Cinema Display that has the DVI connector?
    Thanks!

    First, HDMI is not limited to any one resolution and as of HDMI 1.3 has an capability of 2560×1600 which I think is higher than the 27" display.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
    Oh, and obiously, the LED Display can go to lower resoltution.
    Supported resolutions: 2560 by 1440 pixels, 1920 by 1080 pixels, 1280 by 720 pixels
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP597
    And under System preferences, it looks like it will go from 800x600 to 2560x1440.

  • Any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"?

    Is there any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"?  Main usage is in photography.

    Hi Richard,
    I have to agree with SU. I don't want to sound flippant, but the other option would be to use it in a totally dark room. I know, not real practical. Although they say "never say never," I think it's safe for me to say, since CRTs have exited the scene, I'll never purchase anything with a glossy display.

  • I am attempting to plug my mac into my tv. I am using the mini dvi to s video adapter. When I plug it in, the display goes all wonky and becomes stretched and enlarged.

    When I attempt to connect my mac to the monitor using a mini dvi to s video adapter the display becomes enlarged and stretched. I cannot seem to fix this using the system preferences or the quick keys that allow you to zoom in on the display. Any suggestions?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • How do I add the Displays icon to the Menu Bar?

    In prior OS on my iMac, I was able to add the Display icon to the Menu Bar, making it a quick fix to adjust the resolution.  That option no longer appears in the Display section of System Preferences.  I am using multiple displays.  Could that make any difference?  Any suggestions?

  • When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display.  Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

    I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears.  Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

    Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

  • What's wrong with the display?!

    Of my many macs, one is an iMac snow. It still works pretty good, and recently I put in a new harddrive and installed Mac OS X onto it. It's been working perfectly fine for the last few months now. However, just early today the display went bonkers. My little sister was playing a game, and it said that in order to play the game, the colors must be set to 256. So I clicked okay and changed the settings from millions to the settings the game needed. When she was done playing the game, however, the colors were all messed up. I tried restarting the computer first, but that didn't work so I went into the preferences and tried to fix the color there. Still, nothing worked. I don't know what's wrong. The colors are in the negitive. Everything that is supposed to be white is black, everything that's supposed to be black is white, everything that's supposed to be blue is red, and so forth. I can't get it off this negitive effect. Can someone please help me out?! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

    Wow... thanks a bunch. That was SOOOO simple. I feel so stupid now. Just one click, and I sooo overpassed it earlier. -_- Agh.
    Thanks!!!

  • NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

    Alienware M14x Laptop
    Windows 7-pre 64-bit
    8gb ram
    3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
    Intel i7 2760QM
    AE CS4
    AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
    this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
    this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
    any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
    Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

    For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
    (It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
    It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
    THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
    "This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
    Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
    My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.

  • Satellite A210 1AP - The display is not turning on

    I had a problem about a mounth ago with my Toshiba Satellite A210-1AP, just once the display did not turn on. Computer was working, all lights were on. That light that shows reading from HDD was blinking, working as normal, but with display still turned off. So I turn it off, and next time I tried it was warking as usual, with display turned on, he asked if i want to start windows normaly, or in safe mode (like when it is restarted unnaturally). Then worked normaly for few days, then it happened again. At that time I couldn't go to the service (computer was on warranty, and how to prove that something happens sometimes if it do not happened there). So I continued to use it, and as time passes by the problem was more often. Then I decided to go to service.
    Guy in the service said that the problem is motherboard, so he changed motherboard, and it took about month for him to do it, and then when I called he said me that it isn't working still. And maybe he has to change all parts, display, graphical card is maybe problem, that he didn't saw problem like that...
    So my question is do you know what the problem could be? And the second question is can I demand from him, as it passed 30 days to give me new computer instead changeing all parts on it?
    Thanks,
    Nikola

    Thanks for answers.
    I have my notebook now back, but there is another question, you said that video card is on board on A210-1AP? Because tehnician said taht he ordered new one, after replacement of mother board...
    I also doubt that he lied me with some more things, so I would like to know some things. Is there any toshiba policy that the broken parts have to be send back to toshiba? Because in law there is one paragraphf that sais that he have to give me back also broken parts.
    And one more.
    Do changed parts have extended waranty? For example I bougth laptor before 1,5 year, so he changed motherboard. Do the motherboard have waranty 2 more years or just half year as other non changed parts.
    There is also paragraph about it in serbian law, but tehnician said that I don't have more waranty, and if it dies again (hopefuly not) that I can call inspection...
