Traditional TFT LCD of the N900 and the new SLCD !

Can anyone here explain me is S-LCD the next generation of the TFT LCD does it offer a dramatic improvement in display ( I am not really looking out for a very technical explanation just need to know from a user perspective) is it great fun watching in SLCD compared to the traditional TFT LCD display that the N900 has. if yes, How much the difference between the TFT LCD of the N900 and SLCD would be ?

@CP...
such a nice post...needs to be said again without needing to re-finger it in! +1 m8..

So I really dont know what you mean when you say the resolution is the same between OLED and SLCD...It is not the same
Huh??
OLED and SLCD do not define resolution.. you're wrong for thinking that.. They are types of displays.. OLED is not fixed to 800x480, SLCD is not fixed to 960x640.. Its like saying diesel engines are 2liter where as petrol engines are 1.5....
OK.. The HTC Desire (and google Nexus one) originally shipped with OLED displays..
Due to shortages of OLED panels, HTC decided to change the display type to the more commonly available LCD.. Now HTC Desires are LCD..
However..
The resolution is exactly the same.. they are both still 800x480.. The type of screen does NOT dictate the resolution of the screen..
You could have a crud low resoltion 640x360 OLED screen on the Nokia N8, and a high res 800x480 LCD screen on the N900.. both are 3.5" screens!
As for the difference in visual quality of OLED and LCD:
OLED screens are tiny light bulbs.. each pixel produces its own light (actually multiple red, green blue lights per pixel)
LCD, however works using filters.. There is a white light behind the screen, and the LCD lets some of the light through coloured "holes".. That is the MAIN difference between LCD and OLED..
All OLED displays work like this and all LCD displays work like this..
So, because it is easier to make a filter of a certain colour, LCD screens can often produce more realistic colours..
OLED displays however, have the ability to go completely dark.. Look a black screen on a LCD display (like your phone) it still glows.. thats because the LCD cannot filter out ALL of the white back light.. it just filters out most..
OLEDs, however, when they are black they are OFF meaning they produce ZERO light!!
LCDs range from blight to dim.. whereas OLED range from even brighter to totally black..
This is called the contrast ratio..
It also might mean OLED displays seem "saturated" the colours are too vibrant..
Now, that's OLED v LCD
Going back to your question in your second post..
The Desire PS IPS LCD display (that's the S-LCD display if you want a brand name) is technically a lower definition because the pixels are larger when compared to the N900..
The colour reproduction (how accurate the colours are) and the contrast ratios however will be BETTER than the N900 because the Desire can display 16Million colours rather than 65thousand.. and the LCD technology is a generation newer than that used in the N900...
The N900 screen, although high resolution for its size, is fairly old tech..

My Ipad LCD screen was broken. whether the apple may take to repair .. how the cost.. how the procedure

The manufacture date of T400 WXGA TFT LCD monitor

I ordered my new T400 in October, 2009, and recived almost three weeks later. Definitely, it took longer time than they promised me. Whatever, I got the laptop, finally.
Now I have a question about the monitor. I used a software named EVEREST 5.30 (http://www.lavalys.com) to check the information of the hardware. Everything is okay except the monitor. It says the manufacture date is 45th week in 2006? Can you believe it, a monitor, potentially, made three years ago for my new laptop???
I called lenovo, and they told me the LCD factory is probably using the same date for all monitors of this kind no matter when they're made. Can you believe it?
They didn't have such complain before. If I can find different case for T400 with same kind monitor, they will accept my complain. Am I responsible to prove that or lenovo's?
Anyway, we can do that, right? Hey, all T400 people, it's time to show our power! What's your manufacture date of the WXGA TFT LCD monitor? I will appreciated if you can post your LCD manufacture data as well as when you bought you laptop! Many thanks to everyone.

My point is that even if the LCD sat for 15 years if it wasn't in use it wouldn't be prone to any more failures then one which is only a year from manufacture with the same amount of hours on it.
Though I don't have intimate knowledge of every laptop which Lenovo has manufactured but I have personally swapped a T61 15.4in widescreen into a T500 15.4in.
It is probable what they are saying is that your laptop screen could not be that old because it is improable one would be in storage for that length.

What you said could be true.
However, I don't think customers prefer a LCD made several years ago, even the quility may be better. I have only one-year warranty, who knows what will happen after that.
BTW, the "old" LCD I mentioned doesn't mean a used one.

So, I got an iPod from a friend because the screen was broken, he tried to fix it and he bent one of the prongs on where the LCD for the screen goes on the front of the mother board. I can still click it in, will it still work if I buy a new screen?

Well, my friend gave me his iPod 4G Because the screens LCD was broken and there was a black dot in the screen and it didn't work, he didn't want it anymore because he thinks he broke it because where the LCD connects to the front of the motherboard one of the prongs is bent but I can still click the LCD in if I get a new screen will it still work?

Maybe.

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do. I live in India and I have gone to authorised Apple technicians and they infomed me that I will have to replace the LCD panel as well even though it is not cracked, is this really true or can I just change the outer shell? Also they say that they cannot do it in India... can I do it myself at home?

Since it is 3 years old find a local repair shop that can replace the glass Only. you may have to send it out to a Non Local shop for that but there are some that specialize in doiing that on Mac notebooks.
Apple will ony replace the complete screen enclosure with all normal parts included, LCD, Camera, Aluminum housing and glass as one unit. Which is very expensive. Or you could just use it as a desktop system with external monitor and buy a new notebook.

My ipod is broken. The home button doesn't work, so I took it to a tech shop and they also said that the LCD cable was broken and my screen is cracked. Will apple fix my ipod or just replace it?

I would like to know if apple will replace it. If not, then I will take somewhere cheaper but it has some scratches so I would like to get a new one.

The home button doesn't work, the LCD cable is broken and the screen is cracked! Wow. That's the worst case of abuse that I've seen. I think that Apple will laugh at you.

I downloaded FF4 and when it opened it doesn't show the new Single Firefox button in the upper left hand corner. I still have the traditional Windows buttons.

This is on a Windows 7 machine. I like the new layout and it shows up on my Windows Vista laptop at home. Would just like to have the new layout.

To get it you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

The new Mac App Store and its relation to the "traditional" Apple SW Packag

Could someone please explain how is the relation between the "old" Mac SW (iLife packages for instance) and the new MacApp (iLife packages), are the SW packages identical but just running in another environment?
What about future SW updates?? Will the old SW packages fade out and be taken over by the MacApp SW??
Yours gsf1

Well, one is downloaded, and it can be installed on multiple computers, and is the same price, and is well, nothing about the app itself is different

My 4th gen ipod touch front glass is touching the Lcd on the left corner of the screen were the facetime app stands and it makes a smug, am I able to get that fixed?

If you press on the left corner were the facetime app stand then it will make a smug while the glass is touching the LCD. The ipod touch is brand new with no cracks at all. Can I please get it fixed?

No idea what"it will make a smug" means, but if you believe your ipod to be defective, then make an appointment at the genius bar. If they determine it is defective, then they will repair/replace.

My Numbers program changed yesterday while I was working on a document and now I can't open it. I get a message telling me I need a newer version to open the document. All the others seem to open OK. I HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE NEW VERSION. What happened

OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before. Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program. I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things. When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it. Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form. I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday. Anyone know haw that happened?

Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

Any issues connecting the new MacBook to LCD projector with VGA adapter?

I do presentations on the road using my old MacBook with whatever LCD I find when I get there. I run Keynote with lots of video clips in my presentations. I carry a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. Most often it works fine.
I was hoping to update to the new MacBook, but I'm concerned about the display issues on the discussion board.
Has anyone had any experience connecting the new MacBook using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter?

I received my MB (aluminium) 2.0 in early November, but only this week (2nd week December) have had a need to use it for a presentation via the Mini DisplayPort --> VGA adapter.
I thought I could use it just as I did my previous (white 1.83 MacBook) laptop, but this one is a bit quirkier. Plugging in the adapter cable results in a system freeze. Unplugging the cable will restore mouse control (unfreezing the computer) in most instances, but not all.
Turns out that in order to use an external VGA connection, I need to have the adapter plugged in and restart the machine. If the external display is not present from boot, then it freezes.
This is unlike my previous MacBook, in which I could plug-unplug willy-nilly. The screen would flash blue a couple of times and all would be fine, with the external extended display detected and functioning. This was one of those nice "Mac" things that my Windows-using colleagues were somewhat jealous of, as they constantly have trouble getting their laptops to recognize the LCD projector.
Sadly, it looks like I'm now living in their world...

Problem with LCD hitting the back edge

My Macbook has a problem. The bezel on the LCD towards the very rear of the screen rubs against the base edge when I open up the MacBook.
Here is a picture to describe what I mean:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47365659@N00/151797793/
That little piece is sticking out. If I open the MacBook from with more force on the right edge, then the tab hits even more and there is enough friction to make an alarming snapping sound.
I hope apple replaces my macbook as I just received it today from fedex!
Has anyone experienced this yet?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have not had this problem with my Macbook.
I suggest you contact them right away.
I also suggest you don't "ask" them to replace it. I would tell them it needs to be replace. Over time I think that will make for a nasty scar on your notebook. Considering black macbook owners pay 150$ for just the color, Apple knows that how these look has much to do with their value and shoudl approach the problem knowing that.
I hope it goes well, and expect it will.

Color fidelity and the New MacBook Pro glossy display like iMac

I'm very concerned about the new MacBook Pro display which is glossy like the iMac. Can Apple guarantee precise Color fidelity and correct calibration for Pro users? Aren't glossy glass screens more saturated, deeper Blacks and higher contrasted. Aan Apple answer to this very important question that will draw or throw thousands of Professionals off the new Pro laptop.

Sorry, your comments only confirm the post above. Below is a copy of a comment from Charles Higgins posted to Maintouch. I copied it for posting here (I hope that is legal).

To those who must work in bright, unshaded sunlight, Hoodman makes a pretty good reflection/glare 'hood' (sic) that does its job, except it's godawful ugly and bulky.
To everyone else (designers, photogs, and image editors), who must often work in less than ideal outdoor and indoor environments with their MBP's (including the dreaded airline seat), I feel your pain. I do ALL of these jobs, professionally, am an Adobe Beta Tester, have a Cisco CCNE and independently consult for folks like The University of Massachusetts (all campuses), Smith College, Middlebury College, to name a few, on everything from spec'ing Video, Graphics, and Photography labs to deployment, training, etc...
However - the MBP's screen, reflective though it may be, is my favorite laptop screen so far, and I've tried all brands for a long time. I've owned and professionally used, daily, Mac laptops/notebooks since Wall Street.
If it's a deal-breaker to have a glossy screen, you need to re-examine your techniques for use- how you work, where you work, light sources, etc.- because it's a really good indicator of how accurately you perceive color, brightness and tonality accurately... in other words, under conditions that I get unacceptable glare and reflections on my new MBP's glossy screen (CTO 2.8, 320GB 7200 RPM, new 24" on order, DP to DVI adapter out to 30" Cinema Display in home office), I would be getting unacceptable 'light pollution' onto my matte 30" Cinema Display, or any number of CRT monitors I used professionally in days past (Sony Artisans, Barco, etc.), and that's a good barometer, to me, of whether I have a 'pure' viewing environment for critical color work. Just because one can eke out a good or acceptable image view on a matte LCD MBP screen, doesn't mean you should do color critical, submit billing to client work in that already compromised situation. The matte screen often delivers a 'false sense of security' to those folks who work professionally in graphics, video and image editing. I find, or create, an environment that I can work well in with regard to screen viewing, and that's where, matte LCD screen or Glossy, I can get the best results. If I cannot get that environment, I curse my lack of resourcefulness and do work that isn't color-critical, just as I would with any matte screen Mac notebook LCD. In my long experience, and comparing them to even midlevel CRT monitor screens (Mitsu Diamond Pro 22", etc.) is absolutely no contest. Matte screens have an unacceptably low contrast and brightness, and a more primitive rendering of fine tonal gradations and shadows to blacks. My 30" Cinema Display has some of these same shortcomings, of course - but to a far lesser degree. Still, those shortcomings are there, and for the same reasons. The new, DP equipped 24" Cinema Display is a piece of pro equipment that I look forward to immediately calibrating and putting to work immediately!
The clients I've converted to MBP glossy screens because of the shortcomings of any laptop matte screen BTW, my new MBP has a noticeably better screen than the glossy one on my early 2008 MBP (LED backlit); I calibrated both with Gretag MacBeth calibration hardware. I have been able to hardware calibrate the newer MBP to a tighter tolerance.
Got glare? That's a symptom you're gonna probably get less than accurate results from any screen. Having used matte LCD screens in Mac notebooks for many years, I'll take the new LED backlit glossy MBP screens over anything available so far.
