Viewing angle of Macbook

What is the viewing angle of the new Macbooks?
Many LCD monitors manufacturers will give how many 'degrees' of viewing angle can their monitors produce. However Apple just don't give that info.

MacBook and MacBookPro :100 º Vertical and 130 º Horizontal
Not comparable to Imac 17: Vertical and 170 horizontal or Imac 20 : 170 V 170 h
G5 x2,3 (PCI -X) - 3,5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6) MacBook Pro(15) 2,16; MacBook 1,83

Just Bought a MacBook. Viewing Angle is Harsh. Is that True for Everyone?

I just got home with a MacBook. It's surprisingly fast and impressive.
However, the viewing angle for the monitor is annoying. If I tilt it at a normal angle (as in pulling the screen towards me) the bottom of the screen gets really washed out and just oozing brightness.
Is this normal? It only looks normal if I tilt the screen almost all the way back. I wish I could pull the monitor closet to me. Is there something I'm missing? Did I get a bunk MacBook? Or is this normal?
Thanks

Mine is the same way. You kinda have to adust how you are sitting to see the screen head on. It takes a while to find the angle that is right for you. It depends how tall/short you are and how you sit in the chair. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Viewing Angle

Hi All,
I swapped from a (the newest) Titanium PBook to the Mbk Pro and I find the viewing angle on this screen is much poorer. There are fairly significant changes in brightness/colour when I move by small angles (approx 30 deg up and down). In fact, this screen resembles the screen of the iBook that my sister has. I've never used an Al Pbook so I'm not sure when this poor viewing angle business started. Have any of you noticed the same thing?

and gets people who are working together to get closer and more intimate as they squeeze into the MBP's very limited viewing area. I can imagine Apple's new ad:
"The New Macbook Pro - bringing people together like never before"
...followed my an image of 5 people squeezing together in order to see the screen.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

Drag it to the Trash.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse for options and tut
While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
Command Z will undo the last action taken.
Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash. iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto, Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.

Viewing angle (with no colour shift) on new iPad much narrower than older iPads

I just got a new iPad yesterday and the new display's resolution is magical!! I am unfortunately experiencing the yellow tinted screen that others are, but I'm hopeful this will improve over a short time as any glues involved perhaps dry. I THINK perhaps it's already improved though this could be my imagination, hard to tell. It's also clear on a totally black screen that it fails to go as dark as my iPad 2, which itself failed to go as dark as my iPad 1. Still, that resolution, spectacular...
I am however also experiencing a very narrow viewing angle, especially in the vertical direction, it's the most worse when held in normal portrait orientation with the cameras at the top, if I tilt the top of the iPad away from me then the entire screen colour shifts to yellow quite strongly within about 10 degrees or so. I'll shoot some video of it at some point compared to the iPad 2. I wonder if the colour yellow could be linked to the general yellow tint that can be seen on whites even in perfectly straight viewing. But I also wonder if the new retina display just has a much narrower viewing angle without colour shift compared to the older iPads.
Would love to hear how other people's new iPad screens are performing in this regard. Are they all shifting as they're tilting, especially in that vertical tilt I described?
Cheers

I have the same problem. Here is the pic I took to compare with my old iPad 2.

Viewing Angle on the T500

Does anyone know what the vertical viewing angle of the T500 is ? It is starting to annoy me. I cannot get an even brightness/contrast level across the entire screen. I have settled on keeping the screen at an angle that keeps top half of the screen on the dark side and the bottom half looking light and faded. Did I get a bad panel or is this common. Everest shows the monitor ID as "LEN4050" and the Manufacturer as "LTN154X3-L02"

Welcome to the forum!
The issue that you're facing is extremely common, and has been for the last several generations of ThinkPads with TN panels...
I'm not sure that I have any good advice that I could share... either learn to live with it, or get rid of the machine altogether...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Can you share photos between computers on a local time machine network. I have iMac with lots of pictures I would like to view on my MacBook Air. Does anyone know how to do this?

3DGraph View Angle Control

I've been working recently with the ActiveX 3DGraph Control (found in the 3DGraphCtrl.fp). After a little help here recently, my data is ploting as expected. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out though is how to programatically adjust the view angle of the graph. I'd like to have buttons on my user interface to auto adjust the graph to orthoganal view angles (XY Plane, XZ Plane, and YZ Plane). In the ActiveX Control editor for the 3DGraph, there is a parameter called "ViewMode". This parameter has possible values of "cwViewXYPlane", "cwViewXZPlane", "cwViewYZPlane", "cwViewUserDefined". What I CAN'T seem to figure out is how to set this parameter programatically. I've been through the list of CW 3D Graph 6.0 functions a couple of times, but still haven't found the solution.
Does anyone know if ther is a way to programattically control the view angle of a ActiveX 3DGraph control??? Maybe I've just missed the correct function?? Oh, I should also say that I HAVE looked through the various examples that are included with CVI (3DGraph.prj, 3DGraphAxis.prj, 3DGraphColorMap.prj, and 3DGraphContours.prj) any NONE of these seem to address this issue.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!

Thanks! I eventually did find the CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewMode function. I also found the CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewLatitude and CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewLongitude functions to be helpful. So, I'm currently using the following for preset view angles:
//Toggle XY Plane
CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewMode (graphHandle, NULL, CW3DGraphLibConst_cwViewXYPlane);
//Toggle XZ Plane
CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewMode (graphHandle, NULL, CW3DGraphLibConst_cwViewXZPlane);
//Toggle YZ Plane
CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewMode (graphHandle, NULL, CW3DGraphLibConst_cwViewYZPlane);
//Toggle Isometric View
CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewLatitude (graphHandle, NULL, 45);
CW3DGraphLib__DCWGraph3DSetViewLongitude (graphHandle, NULL, 45);

Change view angle of 3D grid with existing objects

Hello,
I am new to the perspective grid in Adobe Illustrator and would really appreciate some help. I have created a simple room interior with a 2 point perspective and a view angle of 45 degree. I would now like to display the same room with a view angle of 60 degree. Is it possible to change the view angle of the 3D with existing objects in it or do I have to re-create the room with a different view angle each time? I can change the numbers in the define perspective setting and the grid changes but the room doesn't seem to change with it.
Thanks, Conny

the perspective grid is just a load of fancy guidelines. it can't affect what you draw after the fact any more than a similar grid drawn on paper could.
Wrong. The Perspective Grid is essentially an envelope distortion, and it is live. Otherwise, objects wouldn't automatically reshape as you move them on the plane to which they are attached.
Is it possible to change the view angle of the 3D with existing objects in it or do I have to re-create the room with a different view angle each time?
Even in pre-CC versions, pressing Shift while moving a perspective plane handle moves the attached objects also. Pressing Alt duplicates the objects as they move with the plane.
By the way, though, it's not "3D". Couching your question in the terms of 3D will suggest to some you're talking about 3D Effect.

NO. You fundamentally misunderstand. It's a drawing aid like any other guide, not a real 3D space. You need to draw from scratch.

Is there anyway to fix weak view angle in s10-3t

Is there anyway to fix weak view angle in s10-3t. l mean something like a protective screen that i put it over the screen to see screen from different angels instead of poor angle of view of the screen.

have you tried to change brightness? it may help.

Is glossy screen's color as sensitive to viewing angle as antiglare?

I just took delivery of a 15" hires antiglare MBP, and I'm very disappointed in how much variance in color there is depending on viewing angle. Just a one-inch adjustment to the tilt of the screen completely changes color and darkness. So many people say antiglare is truer, but given that color changes even if you move your head a few inches, I'm having trouble trusting what I see on screen.
Does the glossy screen change color with such small changes to viewing angle?

It remains to be seen how useable the new imac screen is. Certainly, on the whole, glossy screens are not at all desirable for any work where color accuracy is important. Most glossy screens have increased saturation and contrast, which makes movies look terrific, but is really **** for getting a decent calibration or doing fine adjustments to images.
It's possible that Apple has figured out a way around this, but I do wonder why it was not mentioned during the presentation if so.
I was all set to get one, but not now.
EDIT, but yes, an external monitor would be a good workaround
