Mac Pro :: Where To Get Good Picture Quality Monitor

Nov 24, 2010

I just have ordered a new Mac Pro. But I'm not sure which display I should go for. The monitor should have the following strenghts:

1. Accurate colours (I love DSLR photography), really good overall picture quality

2. It should also be a good gaming monitor

I've already narrowed down my selection to the Dell U2410, Apple LED cinema 24", Dell U2711 or Apple LED cinemea 27" display.

MacBook :: Fixing Monitor Calibration On MB?

Mar 24, 2009

I've done a search and not really found what I'm after. So here it is..

I like to edit photos, but I've never been confident in doing this on my Macbook, as I edit them and then on another display they always look different and over exposed.

Is it just a bad screen for colour accuracy or is it the calibration? What's the best way to sort this?

Hardware :: Using Monitor And Printer Calibration?

Jun 22, 2009

I just got Aperture and, though I've been a pretty serious photographer for a few years now, I'm starting to get more into doing actual prints and messing with RAW and thus realizing how important color correction and calibrating is. I definitely realize my MBPs screen, my external monitor, and my printer are all out of sync with each other when it comes to this. The only problem is I really have to idea where to begin to fix this.

And before anybody even thinks the word "Search," I don't want to try to piece together random threads on calibration and attempt to figure it out; that's how lost I am.

OS X :: Taking Long To Burn DVD - Video Quality Not Good

Feb 23, 2010

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this, but whenever I try to make a DVD from a pre-recorded movie (either something from my HD camera or downloaded off the net), it literally takes 3 hours or more per DVD for it to finish burning. This is for something that is only 30 minutes in length. The picture is also sometimes out of sync with the sound and occasionally pixelates. Using a Mac Core 8, 3.0ghz, 10GB

Hardware :: Good High Quality Headphones With Bass

Nov 2, 2010

I am looking to invest in my first pair of really good headphones. Now I am not a hardcore audiophile but I still like my music to be as clear and correct as possible. With that said I listen to hip hop almost exclusively and love loud booming bass. I know ill get crap for saying this but I actually like the sound of Beats by Dre and I can get the studio model but those things leak sound like crazy, but as far as I've heard their bass is the strongest.

MacBook Pro :: Is Monitor Calibration Essential For Photography?

Aug 7, 2009

I have a MPB 15" bought on the very day of release. I am now using it to edit photos for selling to various publishers. Do I need to get a monitor calibrator like the Spyder3 Pro?

I went to this link to perform 'by eye' checks on my screen:
[URL]

my monitor is uncalibrated, yet it passed the tests with the following scores:
white test: 253 is distinguishable from white
black test: 7 is distinguishable from black
hue test: the two samples are clearly distinguishable
gamma: standing back the middle grey matches the outside gray

These tests were seemingly meant to show how bad an uncalibrated monitor would fare. However it came out very well.

Hardware :: Monitor Calibration/adjusting Color Profiles?

Jan 20, 2009

I've been trying to get decent color on my Acer AL2216W display to no avail.

First, I attempted to fiddle with the brightness and contrast levels because I've been having trouble seeing really light grays. I used this as a guide so my whites, grays, and blacks looked good but then my colors were completely off.

[URL]

Then, (after resetting all my changes) I downloaded a color profile from the Acer support website. Surprisingly, that profile is completely off.

Next, I tried using Mac OS X's Color Calibration utility in System Pref > Displays > Color > Calibrate. I ended up with incorrect colors & grays again.

Am I doing something wrong? Could someone please direct me about how to achieve proper colors and contrast?

Also, if any of you have an Acer AL2216W and you have made a correct color profile, please pass it along!

Mac Mini :: Monitor Rotated 90 Degrees In Portrait - Quality Goes Away

Nov 24, 2010

I just picked up a 2010 Mac Mini. Intel 2.4 cpu, installed a OWC SSD and 8gb of RAM. Anyways, using the HDMI to DVI that was included, anytime I switch to have the monitor rotated 90 degrees so it is in portrait, the quality goes away. The text no longer looks clear, the display seems to lag, and if I drag a window, the image tears really bad. Just confirmed this also happens with a mini display port to dvi connection. I have also tried 2 different DVI cables, both a single link and a dual link.

PowerPC :: Screen Resolution And Color Calibration / Grey Flickering Screen On Internal Monitor

Dec 5, 2007

Thing is I got hold of a 1ghz 17" iMac almost for free, it had a dead logicboard (I checked it with a voltage-meter), but I figured I could fix it and have a small hobby project-thingie going on. Well I just got a new logic board today, for a 1ghz 17" iMac g4.

Things is I only get a bright grey screen from my Mac when I boot. I've tried connecting it to a external display and that works fine. Everything is there.

I then reinstalled Tiger on it, with the computer connected to my external screen. And I still have the same problem. (I have now disconnected the ext. screen and is controlling the iMac from my MBP). So at least it isn't the installation.

So what is the problem? I can via an Apple Keyboard control the brightness on the blank screen, which would indicate that it does react to input of some degree.

I've read that if the inverter is dead or anything else is dead, you would get a rolling grey screen, flicker or something like that and not a steady bright grey. One thing I'm thinking is. What if somehow this logic board was for a 15" 1ghz imac g4? Can I check this?

I read that long thread about guys buying hi-res displays for their MBPs, and they had to replace some display profile? Could I maybe fix it with a different display profile-file?

I'm really confused by all this, and would appreciate any help I can get.

Model: PowerMac6,1
CPU-Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)

and

the gfx chip is a GeforceMX4 with 32mb.

The display is a mode 9c27, manufacturer 610, serialnumber 00000, manufacture date: B84D7200.

OS X :: Finding High Quality 10.5.7 Wallpapers

Jun 4, 2009

I have a unibody MacBook with a native resolution of 1280x800. I downloaded several wallpapers from [URL] all at 1280x800 and whenever I use them as wallpapers they appear either scaled up and pixelated or severely scaled down (at "Fit to screen" and "Center" respectively). Previously I had a 17" PowerBook at 1440x900 and didn't have that issue.

MacBook Pro :: What Would Be A Good Monitor To Pair

Oct 9, 2010

I want to pair my MBP (high res antiglare) with a 24" monitor. The colour levels on the MBP are really good and I'm a little worried about buying a monitor and setting them up side by side and not having the two match in terms of quality.

Can anyone recommend a good monitor that is of equal quality to the MBP antiglare screens? I've read good things about the Dell ST2410 which is within my budget.... if really pushed I could go for the U2410 but would really rather not spend that much. Are there any other monitors that are cheaper than the U2410 that have 'mac mode'?

Hardware :: Looking For A Good Monitor Stand

Oct 26, 2010

I am trying reorganize my desk a bit I am looking for a good monitor stand (I guess this is what you would call such an accessory) . I have a 15" mbp and a 20" external dell monitor. Right now I just have my macbook sitting beside my monitor in clam shell mode. It occurred to me that this is a giant waste of good desk space. The solution I have pictured in my head is some kind of stand that I can put my monitor on that has enough space under it for my closed mbp (with enough space for decent ventilation too). So if anyone knows of a nice stand that would do that, I would love to hear about it.

Mac Mini :: Looking For A Good 22-24" LED Monitor?

Dec 7, 2010

I have been looking for a really good 22-24" monitor for my Mac Mini.

I was looking at the Apple 27" Display and although it is really nice I just can not justify $999 for a 27" Display when I can get almost 3 of another brand.

I was looking at either going with another 22" LCD or maybe a good LED?

MacBook Pro :: Is This A Good External Monitor

Jan 19, 2010

I'm still debating whether I should get a 27" iMac or an external monitor for my Macbook Pro. I would get this external screen : [URL]. Any thoughts on that? It's an IPS screen so colours should be very good. Alternative is an Apple Cinema Display which costs about double but I'm not sure it's worth the price premium over the NEC display.

I love the iMac 27" but all the screen problems really scare me away, since I mainly do photo work on my Macbook Pro which is why I need a good, high res screen.
