What kind of LCD screen is the MBP display?

I have a 2007 Santa Rosa Macbook Pro. I'm curious what kind of LCD screen the display is. I know TN is the worst, and something like ISPS is better...

The screens in the MBP are provided by one of three manufacturers: Samsung, LG, and Chimei. Although there is a host of debate about which is the best between Samsung and LG, everyone agrees that Chimei screens are the worst.
The Samsung panels tend to be more "vivid" compared to the LG screens (although you'll only notice this difference if you compare the two side by side.) The LG screens tend to be less susceptible to "yellowing." If you get a good, defect-free Samsung panel you hit the jackpot. It's the best of the three.
To find out which one you have, go to System Preferences > Displays > Color > Open Color Profile and scroll down to line 13. Post the code next to "Manufacturer Code." (It should be something like 0000009c68.) Bring it back here and someone will be able to tell you what screen you have.
Of course, unrelated to the screen, the Santa Rosa MacBook Pro was the first to introduce LED backlighting.

  • What kind of PCI Device is the NI-PCI 6519 card?

    Hi:
    I need to know what kind of PCI device is the NI-PCI 6519, according to the definition that appear on the link: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/PCI/pcibridge.mspx, under the title "Types of PCI Devices and PCI-to-PCI Bridges".
    Is the NI-PCI 6519:
    1.- a PCI-to-PCI docking bridge type?
    2.- a reset-resistant SID PCI device type?
    3.- a reset-loading SID PCI device type?
    4.- a non-reset resistant SID PCI device type? or
    5.- a multifunction PCI device type?
    I need to know this because I have a problem with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge of my motherboard on the Power Management issue and it affects directly the PCI bus configuration of my system.
    If someone knows the answer or knows somebody who knows the answer I'll appreciate very much his/her help; or maybe he/she could send me the contact to somebody.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ignacio,
    The PCI-6519 is fully compliant to the PCI-2.2 specification which means that it requires the 3.3 V rail from the PCI bus.  The 6519 must be installed into a slot that provides 3.3 V. Check that the 3.3 V LED located on the top right of the 6519 device is lit. If not, check that the PC motherboard provides 3.3 V to the PCI bus. I also believe that it should be a reset-resistant or reset-loading device, but if you feel that the board is not working correctly with your pci-to-pci bridge, I would recommend that you contact NI support directly.

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • What kind of Intel chips does new MBP have?

    ...or even an iMac for that matter.
    I tried to look at Intel website to try to identify both the codename and the processor type.
    For example the best MBP processor you can get is the 2.8 GHz one and that might be either the Penryn 2.8 GHZ with L2 cache of 6144KB or the Merom one with the same frequency but with L2 cache of 4096 KB.
    Also If that is the case both of the procs are rated Intel Core 2 Extreme (one is X7900 and the other is X9000). So if that's the case can we assume that the new MBPs can be fitted with intel core 2 extreme mobile procs?
    Also the same story applies to the new iMac Intel 3.06 GHz...what kind of processor is that? best guess is that it is an E8400?
    Thanks.

    Hi Andrei,
    Stefan...you're implying that the iMac uses a notebook proc? And yes i couldn't find the 3.06 GHz proc anywhere on Intel's website.
    Follow the link I provided to the X9100.
    The Intel iMacs were always based on Notebook technology ever since they came out.
    Only exception is the usage of a 3.5" harddisk.
    Mainly because of the integrated design of the iMacs and the need to have a decent cooling of the CPU and GPU made it a neccessity for Apple.
    Andrei
    PS: Come to think of it, i think it's the PC side of me still talking and asking useless question like what core 2 duo quad extreme blah blah proc does it have... Still new to Mac world.
    No need for explanations of your intentions to ask.
    This is the place to ask and as you can see you usually get answers.

  • Satellite L500D - What kind of slot is under the battery?

    I have found a slot( i think it's memory slot) under battery in my satellite L500D. What kind of slot is that?(It looks like for MicroSD card, but sign says it's WIS slot - I have searched but I haven't found what does it means)
    Does it work in my laptop or it's for other models?

    Hi
    Memory slots are placed near the batter bay.
    But the slots are not placed under the battery.
    It would be interesting to see the slot on the picture.
    As far as I know the notebook does not support the 3G therefore I dont think that this is a slot for a 3G card.
    Of course the notebook supports an Bridge Media slot which handles the SD Card, SDHC Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard but this slot is placed on the front of the notebook.

  • What SSD does Apple put in the MBP 13"?

    From a couple threads it sounds like they use the Toshiba SSD. Is this true? According to a couple test web sites the Toshiba drive is one of the slowest (like half the speed of most of the drives).

    Hi, Dana. There is no way to be sure what SSD Apple might install in an MBP that you order today. It might or might not be the same unit that was in MBPs built a month or two ago, or yesterday. Just as Apple buys its hard drives from several different manufacturers, it may buy SSDs from several manufacturers, or different models from the same manufacturer.
    But if it is the Toshiba SSD, then I'm better off getting an SSD of my own and putting it in myself.
    Only if it works. There have been quite a few reports here of various SSDs installed by users not working properly, and it isn't completely clear whether there's a single reason why they don't, or several different reasons, or whether there are brands/models that always do or always don't work. Until the dust settles and there's a bit more clarity, if you really want a working SSD in your machine, it may be wisest to have Apple install one, regardless of what make and model it turns out to be.

  • What controls which screen is the 'Second Display

    I have 4 screens on my mac
    Two identical cards , each with two outputs.
    3 monitors in panorama, with the 42 inch TV above the  three
    Today when i started, I selected Windows | Show Event sonSecond display...the Events panel popped up on the big TV screen, not where I had expected it,on the LHS. So I though it may be because of the way the screens were plugged in to the machine, so I reconfigured, swapping the TV cable with the LH screen cable.
    All worked all, for 8 -8 hours. with the events n the LH screen.
    I have not touched the cables again.
    Now I re boot the Mac ..and fire up FCP again...and the Events have gone back up to the TV screen.
    Am I going to have to swap cables each time , I want to start FCP  or is there anther way?   maybe eFCP X is just not really designed for multiple screens I guess?
    Any hep appreciated
    Google searches on this have come up fruitless yet again.

    Hi guys
    yes arrangement in Sys preferences is correct,
    the mouse tracks across them
    all as expected.
    this is a pre Thunderbolt machine,  2008 3.1 mac pro tower.
    Two identical Apple ATI 2600
    cards. Two DVI ports onbeach
    It is weird and there does not seem to be any logic or reason to what happens.  I can swap the leads over, and each monitor in Sys Prefs keeps its place, desktop icons and backgroind maintain their corrrct arrsngement per monitor.  So LH desktop backgroind will stay on LH screen, no matter what port its cable is plugged into.
    Yet, you do a reboot & swap a few minutes later and it is totally random in sys preferencex.
    FCP X will seem to randomly choose any of the other screens as its second display..
      I know with launching an app from Spotlight, the app tends to open in tjd screen where the mouse is active, no matter which screen Sotlight was launched from.
    I have multiscreen setup as 'Spaces' so each has its own Dock and Taskbar.
    THis machine has Mavericks 10.9.5 on.  I am quite scared to try Yosemite on it for fear of what else they have broken since 10.6.  Laptop has Yosemite on it but not mutlimonitor capable.
    this is definetly an FCP X issue rather than OS related.  I can fire up Adobe Lightroom, and without fail it chooses the LH screen as its second monitor.
    I Have a Premier Pro disk kicking aroind somewhere, may have to give that a try and see if that supports multi screen,

  • What kind of resource demand does the standalone listener create?

    Hi all -
    I'm wondering what kind of resource load is consumed by the separating the listener off of the database. I guess I was under the impression the listener doesn't really do much at all other than handle the connections and calls to the database. Is it correct in assuming the majority of the resource consumption is still actually on the database or does the listener have a more impacting role?
    The question goes into determining what kind of processing power would be needed for a server that is only hosting the listener. Seeing as there really isn't anything that changes within the environment I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have multiple VM's setup for the sole purpose of hosting the listener. On that same note, is separating the listener onto a separate machine really removing any processing demand from the database?
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    it seems you mixed up the database listener with APEX Listener. The APEX Listener is not an alternative for the database listener (you'll still need it when using the APEX Listener), but can be an alternative web server for the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG, using the database's internal XDB HTTP Server) or Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) to host your APEX instance.
    So as ALEX points out, it'll need about as much resources as one of the other web servers would. How much it will be depends on your usage scenario. Again, there is no immediate relation to the database listener.

  • Doh, mentioned this on yesterday's post but now it seems the mbp display is

    getting worst and worst
    first under a black background my screen look like a nice eveing with bunch of shinning stars (stuck pixels) lighting up the sky and then under different color backgrounds minutes ago just noticed 2 dead pixels one light blackish and one whiteish (the later one will probably need a closer look that the former one)
    gonna bring it to the Apple store in the morning but i am scared that genius bar tech might eat me alive and refuse to recognize my problem

    and when i run the lcd gradient test i wonder how can i tell if my mbp display pass the gradien test or not?

  • Using the PowerBook's screen as the 2nd Display

    I have been wondering this for a while: is it at all possible to use the 17" screen on my PowerBook as my secondary monitor and use my 23" Cinema Display as my Primary monitor. What i am trying to do this for is use Final Cut Pro and Shake on my 23" ACD and view the output on the PowerBook's display. I just feel bad that I use my entire 23" monitor just as a second screen.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    By primary and secondary, if you mean have the menu bar be on the ACD rather than the PB screen, then you can do this under the arrangement tab in Display Prefs. Just drag the little facsimilie of the menu bar on the arrangement screens from one screen to the other.

  • Calibrating the MBP display

    Is there a way to calibrate the display for the MBP 17"?

    look under system preferences -> displays -> color
    i recommend using an external device like i1 display 2 for accurate results, since your eyes are really not that reliable.
    (unfortunately i have a problem calibrating the new penryn mbp display: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492487&tstart=0)

  • What kind of DVI Cables does the Mini Take?

    I want to get a DVI cable for my iLo 15in LCD but I'me confussed with the type get. I know that The Mini and my monitor are DVI male but at the mini's output after the grid of pin inlets theres a horizontal and vertical inlet that makes a plus sign look along with one inlet in each space. The DVI to VGA Adapter on the DVI ( female ) side has same plus sign pins but in the large grid of pins, there a gap in the middle. The mini doesn't have that gap on the output.
    On the LCD's DVI input, it has that entire grid of pin inlets ( holes ) with no gap but next to the grid there is only one horizontal inlet. It does'nt have that plus sign look like the mini's output. Nor does it have those four inlets on each side of the cross. It's just has a horizontal inlet.
    I'm not familiar with DVI so I'm confused. Some cables on the market hace that cross and the gap in the middle of the pins, some only have the horizontal pin and the grid of pins with no gap. ( Help )!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not completely following you, mostly cause my math sklls bl0w.
    But I think you're making a distinction, perhaps without knowing it, between a DVI and an ADC connnector.
    Digital Video Input is the first connector you refer to, I believe.
    Twenty four pins in a 3 x 8 config and the section for video color you refer to as the plus sign. This is technically 5 pin.
    The other connector sounds like an Apple Disply Connector (or ADC). These are 30-pin in a 3 x 10 config plus the video color 5-pin.
    You can get picture perfect clear on this here

  • If I have an macbook air LCD screen and the the bottom with the keyboard and the hard drive, can I put them together to make the laptop?

    I want a mac book air. Preferable a maxium of 1 year old, but I don't have the money to buy a new or referbished one. Please help.

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.
