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

  • Viewing angle to the left or right I get a Yellow tint

    When I move to the left or right I get a Yellow cast to my screen. Moving up and down no yellow tint.
    Normal or not?

    I had the same problem,
    You need to change the color profile to this one:

    I will give it a try.....but how do I do that. I down-loaded the profile but don't know how to install it?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Satellite P50W screen - poor viewing angle

    Bought this 2in1 laptop a few weeks ago, everything else is fine but I found the screen viewing angle (especially the vertical viewing angle) is pretty poor, if I moved sideway a bit or adjusted the screen tilting angle then things are not that clear.
    The bottom half of the screen is brightest and clearest but not the top part, it seems like back light distribution is not even throughout the screen.
    I wonder whether has anyone experienced same issues ? would it be a graphic driver issue ? or back lighting issue ? and how did you fix the issues ?
    thanks.

    I think you are the first one who wrote such report and it will be interesting to see if someone with the same machine will post the same report.
    I have Toshiba Satellite S50 with very bright display with very clear details and I didnt notice some problems with display.
    In my opinion described issue cannot be related to preinstalled driver because all preinstalled or offered drivers on download page are tested. I can also not imagine that something can be fixed.
    In my opinion the display works on this way and there is not much you can do about that.
    I can also imagine that there is some kind of back lighting effect and that is the reason why the bottom side of the screen is brightest than top part of the screen.

  • Does anyone know the viewing angle of iPad mini's camera sensor?

    I've read the iPad mini's spec and still can't find the width/height of the camera sensor.
    I only know its focal length(3.3 mm).
    If anyone can tell me about the camera sensor's width/height, I can figure out the viewing angle.
    I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

    I believe that is the information you was looking for: http://www.boinx.com/chronicles/2013/3/22/field-of-view-fov-of-cameras-in-ios-de vices/
    Remember: they measured the horizontal angle in degree in landscape mode, and the FOV on very compact camera should be affected ( a little bit ) by the autofocus.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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

  • How does Photoshop implement L*a*b*. Does it use CIE LAB with 2 percent view angle and Bradford CAT @ D50?

    Does anyone know how Adobe Photoshop implements
    L*a*b* to calculate image data
    White Point D50 or D65
    What version of Lab = CIE, ICC etc..
    ant CAT's Bradford of Van Kreis
    View Angle 2percent, 10 percent?
    Thank you.

    As explained in our documentation: LAB in Photoshop is D50, 2 degree standard observer, matching the ICC version 2 PCS.

  • MBP glossy display & viewing angle

    I wonder whether the glossy display on a MBP is actually the same LCD with just another film on it or a totally different screen.
    I'd like to know because today I saw one of those CrystalView screens on an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo of a friend. The viewing angle and sharpnesss is amazing, on almost 180 degrees I could read the screen. much better I guess than the screen we get from apple or... is there any chance the glossy display option would bring us a better viewing angle?
    Personally I don't like the glossy screens but if they're better I might order my MBP with the glossy option.
    The store didn't have any on display, so i could not compare.
    Anyone with a MBP with glossy screen?

    Glossy vs. matte is an individual decision so do your own comparison. Probably most clients will actually prefer the look of images on the glossy display, however they may then wonder why the same pix in print or on a pro display have less "pop."
    IMO buy the 17" MBP rather than the 15" MBP. My reasons:
    • More screen real estate, a very big deal when in the field and no external display is connected.
    • Much higher pixel count, a very big deal when in the field and no external display is connected.
    • Available matte display, a very big deal (to many pro photogs, including me) when in the field and no external display is connected.
    • Faster; the added size and easier heat dissipation of the 17" apparently allow Apple to make less engineering compromises.
    • Twice the available RAM, a very big deal moving forward as app vendors evolve apps to better utilize available cheap RAM, OS 10.6 and boxes with more RAM access. Under OS X Photoshop (and probably Aperture as well) can already take advantage of up to 32 GB installed RAM, maybe more.
    • Longer battery life is alleged, which matters not to me but some folks care.
    • After years of using 15" and smaller, starting with the Duo, I now use a 2.33 GHz 17" and far prefer the larger size.
    • All the above benefits and it only weighs 1.1 pound more than the 15" MBP.
