MacBook Air :: MBA Screen Vs. IMac's?

Jan 19, 2009

I just got myself a new MBA rev B 1.86GHz and 128GB SSD.Was testing its screen against my 24" iMac. The photos on the iMac were much more 'alive'. If I remember correctly, that wasn't the case with the rev A.I do have the "lines" on my MBA, however they are very faint and barely noticeable. I just ignore them.

IMac :: How To Turn Off IMac Screen But Leave Secondary Screen On?

Dec 21, 2009

I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out.

I have my iMac connected to my TV and am using Plex to watch stuff on the TV.

What I'd like to do is turn my imac screen off without turning off the second monitor output (i.e. tv) as the imac screen is a bit bright/distracting (even on lowest brightness) when watching in the dark.

IMac :: Screen Capture Pixelated Screen At Start Up OSX10.5.4?

Dec 4, 2008

This is the image I get on my iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo OSX10.5.4. I have repaired permisions and removed all login items. Once I move the cursor or open up a window the screen clears behind the cursor or window etc... It freezes up at least once or twice a day...

I started up again and attached another screen, the image was normal on both screens. But alone the iMac still starts up with the pixelated screen.

IMac :: 24" Screen Weird Hatched Lines On Screen?

May 24, 2009

First of all I'm new here so just wanted to say 'Hi', its been great to see all the discussions on these forums and they help a lot with buying tips and troubleshooting so thanks.

Problem #1 I purchased a refurb 24" 2.8GHz imac early May and have been using it since then and so far other than the "normal" gradient issue and a brownish tinge around the edges of the screen it has been good.

Lately I've been using Aperture a lot and first started to notice that in some pictures especially ones with quite a bit of highlights like clouds that there are small hatch like patches in all the pics. I know it isn't the pictures but the imac screen itself as you can see it on the desktop as well. It only seems to be centralized in the upper left hand section of the screen and they seem to be lite purple/blue in color. And like I said its only in patches in certain spots on the screen. Don't know if I'm being over anal about this or is this a problem?

Problem #2 I switched to a solid blue background to check the above problem and notice that there is screen burn in of the top and bottom header in the outline of my firefox window on the blue screen. Between switching windows often and applications very frequently and not leaving the computer at all... what the heck? Not normal for imac screens is it? Heat issue causing burn in? Hasn't been an issue with any other LCD I've ever used.

By the way the imac came in a new white box and was wrapped like new in perfect condition but I popped it open without ever starting it once to make a hard drive swap and the thing was definitely a bit dusty inside so in now way was it just used for a couple weeks before being given back to apple.

IMac :: 24" Imac - To Burn Images Into Screen?

Sep 6, 2010

I understand these machines burn images into screens sometimes, but they fade back to normal after a while. My issue is that its taking less and less time to burn images into my screen. It's so bad, I avoid using the left side of the screen because simply leaving anything there for a full minute burns the crap out of it. Oddly, this only effects the left third of the screen.

I remember taking it up to an apple store (not fun, considering none are near me. The address their tech support gave me actually went to a pawn shop.) but they simply told me to leave the itunes visualizer running every now and then.

Back then it was just mildly irritating. Now I cant do anything with that side of the screen! Would replacing the LCD resolve this issue?

Below is a picture taken from my motorola razr. I know it's bad, but that's all I have.

IMac :: IMac Screen MELTING Underneath Glass?

Feb 4, 2010

This may seem odd, but I think my iMac is melting. I started to clean my iMac with a simple cleaning cloth then i realized spots on the screen. The aren't really visible when the screen is on, but you can still kind of see them. Not only that, the quality of the images on my screen seems to be deteriorating. It is only visible under light. I have attached some photos, but i wanted to know if anyones iMac has done this before(regardless of size, but post it in case), and if apple will fix it?

MacBook Pro :: 13" Target Display To IMac - Black Screen?

Apr 26, 2012

I have a MacBook Pro (13'', Early 2011) & iMac (21.5", Mid 2011) using a Thunderbolt Cable to Target Display. Everything was working find and I could Command F2 to Target Display as expected.However, about a week about this stopped working. Now when I try to Target Display the iMac goes to a Black screen (like it's switching to Target Display) and the MacBook Pro does nothing. The iMac will be at the Black screen until I Command F2 again (or disconnect the Thunderbolt Cable), then the iMac goes back to the normal display. I have tried another Thunderbolt cable with no luck. I have perform all software updates on both machines (now both running 10.7.3) and fixed Disk Permissions. I have also found that restarting my MacBook Pro allows this to function as excepected (Command F2, Blue Flashing Screen, Target Display on the iMac). However, this is not an ideal situation since having to restart my computer is time consuming.

IMac :: Selling IMac.. Screen Burn?

Dec 15, 2010

Just now I was posting an add on Gumtree trying to sell my iMac, then I went into Dashboard to look at some notes and noticed some black indent- like text, from the Gumtree add. Is this screen burn?

I had a quick search on Google and found out that this happens more in cold environments. My room is very cold at the moment, but I haven't had anything like this happen before.

So, is this something that Apple can fix if I send the iMac in? It's still under AppleCare.

OS X :: LCD Screen On IMac

Dec 6, 2009

I always wanted to know why when I view an LCD screen straight-on, the image is crisp and bright. However, when viewing from either side or from above or below, the picture fades and is unwatchable. This even happens on the new iMac 21.5 LCD. You'd think with all that technology that annoying problem would be fixed. Also, the glossy screen has a terrible glare; why don't they put a coating on the screen for anti-glare? It is so annoying to see reflections on the LCD. At a cost of $1500, you'd think they would make improvements.

IMac :: How Do You Turn Off The Screen

Aug 29, 2010

I know how to dim the screen, and I'm using Shades to help with that, but I would like it turned completely off.

For example, if I'm burning a DVD overnight, I want the screen to be completely shut off, instead of lighting up the room like it's the middle of the day.

IMac :: OS X 10.5.8 Screen As Monitor

Dec 24, 2010

I am very untechnical so much of what I have read on this matter is above my head, but in simple language, if I buy a new MAc Book Pro is there any way that I can use the 21" screen on my 2005 iMAc OS X as a monitor? I asked someone at Apple Store and was told that though later models were fully compatible, for one that old I would need special software, but he couldn't say what. An earlier thread posted last year that I didn't fully understand suggests that I don't need software.
