MacBook Pro :: Drive Making Noise & Replace Screen With Anti Glare?

Jan 15, 2010

I have two problems/questions for this thread.

#1: My superdrive makes an incredible amount of noise lately. I'm not sure why it does that. It doesn't scratch any of the discs or anything, its just annoying. Should I get it fixed?
#2: I have a glassy screen. I hate it sometimes. Is it possible to get the screen replaced with an anti-glare screen?

MacBook Pro :: Hi - Res Anti - Glare On 15" I7?

Apr 13, 2010

I'm about to order the 15" i7 soon. I'll leave the country to travel in Asia for 3 months this summer, so I will tend to be outdoors a lot. On daily basis, I'm a college student and freelance graphic designer - I usually use my computer in class or at home (not too much outdoors). I was debating about getting the regular glossy screen, or Hi-Res Anti-glare screen, just because the regular anti-glare doesn't seem to be offered. And sadly, it costs $150 extra ($135 for educational discount). I read somewhere a while ago, matte screen gives more accurate colors on the screen, while glossy gives more popping and vivid colors. Tough choice for me. Based on what I mentioned above, do you guys recommend me to get the Hi-Res Anti-glare screen? Is it really worth the money? What's good and bad about both of them?

MacBook Pro :: Anti Glare Screen Protector

Nov 26, 2010

I was wondering if any of you know of a screen protector made for the 15" AnitGlare Screen fitting the inside of the Silver edge, the only ones that I ve found are for the Glossy screen and makes the screen 'AG'

So all I want is a normal Screen protector that fit the 15" AG screen.

MacBook Pro :: Anti-glare Display Protectors?

Sep 20, 2009

I just bought & wasted $20+ on the Photodon anti-glare protector for my 13" MBP. The speckling/rainbow effect on white pages just killed it for me even though the anti-glare was nice and the protector was well made. I've read that due to the extra glass panel between the display and the protector, it's hard to get a decent ant-glare shield.

The Moshi iVisor AG doesn't actually adhere to the glass and I may give it a shot next. Anyone have one? If so, how does it work? In theory, it should work better than the Photodon but would really like to hear from someone before I drop another $40 and wait with bated breath for the USPS guy again only to be let down.

MacBook Pro :: How To Clean Anti-glare Screens

Feb 10, 2010

what the safest method for cleaning the anti-glare screens is on the unibodies. On my glossy a simple damp lint-free cloth works perfectly, but I have a feeling that over time that method of cleaning may actually rub/ruin the antiglare surface, so I'm a bit worried.

MacBook Pro :: Anti Glare Screen Too Bright?

Jun 22, 2010

I just got a new MBP 15 i5 2010 with a high-res anti-glare screen.

Manufacturer: 00000610
Model: 00009CBB
Serial Number: 00000000
Manufacture Date: 00000000

Unfortunately the display doesn't show very light colors. (compared to my old MBP15 2007) If you look at the attached image [URL]

- at section 5 I can only see the Grey boxes from 235 to 247, and I CAN'T see any Grey box from 249 to 253.
- at section 3 I can't see the Grey box at 5 all the other from 10 to 50 are fine.

Changing the brightness, playing around with different color profiles and resetting the system didn't solve this problem. I called Apple support and after some resets I was asked to compare my screen with the same make/year. Does anybody has the same 2010 MBP15 high-res anti-glare display and experiencing the same issue? Does your display work fine and is showing all the different Grey boxes?Other MBP owners: Can you see all Grey boxes on your MBP screen? My brothers 2009 MBP15 is showing all light Grey boxes from 235 to 251. 253 can't be seen

MacBook Pro :: Opaque Spots On Anti Glare Screen

Jan 6, 2011

I purchased my 17" MacBook Pro last April and noticed a few months ago when cleaning the screen that there were about four small opaque spots in various sizes on the screen. I have always taken great care and never used anything other than a microfiber cloth moistened with a very small amount of water to clean the screen, so I am sure these aren't water spots, although that's what they look like. You only see them when the screen is dark and my MBP is in sleep mode, they aren't visible when it's up and running, so I'm not too majorly concerned, but it does bother me enough to question it. Too, they seem to have increased in number with time.

MacBook Pro :: Display Replacement (Glossy To Anti Glare) Possible?

Feb 8, 2010

There are some refurbished Macs with attractive prices in the Online Apple Store but the problem is, most of them are glossy. I guess the current MacBook Pros will also be listed as refurbished after the refresh (hopefully) this month. So my question: is there a possibility to replace the glossy display with an anti glare afterwards?

MacBook Pro :: Black Display Frame On Anti-glare?

Jul 14, 2010

I'm about to get the new MacBook Pro with an anti-glare screen. As I like the black frame of the glossy screens a lot more, I would like to know If you know about any replacement parts or any other ideas to get the black frame on a anti-glare screen. I thought about a kind of a sticker that you could attach over the silver bezel.

MacBook Pro :: Retina Display Unavailable With Anti-glare?

Jul 3, 2012

As I was getting ready to place an order for a new MBP Retina, I was disappointed to find out that anti-glare is not available. Regardless of Apples claims of reduce glare, they fail to understand that a shiny glass surface is a shiny glass surface. Anti-glare is about NOT reflecting ambient lighting.

MacBook Pro :: Anti-glare Bezel WARPING; Hinge Creaking?

Jul 14, 2009

Can the owners of anti-glare models check their bezels to see if they are warping?ine is bulging out at the bottom of the screen, right by that area that gets burning hot when you are plugged in or are on the 9600m gt--right where is says "Macbook Pro".I noticed that the hinge started to develop a creaking sound when I opened and closed the lid. So I investigated to see if there were any cracks in the hinge. What I found was that if you look at the space between the bezel and the screen, there is a slight (very slight) bulge right by the wording "Macbook pro". If you press down on it, it moves--unlike the rest of the bezel.

MacBook Pro :: Screen Flicker - New 2010 15" With Anti Glare

Jun 6, 2010

This is my first post on Macrumors and unfortunately it is in regards to a problem that I am currently experiencing with my brand new Macbook Pro 15" w/anti-glare upgrade. I purchased the unit on the 28th May and have used it without problems for until yesterday when I noticed some intermittent flickering in the screen generally a horizontal banding that happens quite sporadically and also changes in brightness levels etc. I checked in with an Apple store earlier today and a staff member at the Genius bar couldn't figure it out either. She tried installing new firmware, but the problem remained and told me that she suspects it is an issue related to the firmware as opposed to hardware. The only advice was to wait it out until Apple addresses the issue with a new firmware upgrade?

I can honestly say I'm not very impressed since this MBP was my supposed long-awaited transition from a lifetime user of PCs to the supposedly more stable/reliable Macs! Just my luck I guess. Nonetheless not a great start to my Mac experience. Anyways, just wanted to see what is the best way to go about it and whether I have the right to demand for an outright replacement (I will be heading off overseas on the 24th June and will definitely need it while away), which may be an issue in itself as I don't think any retailers (I'm located in Sydney) have the 15" w/anti-glare model on hand/stock - mine took over 2 weeks to arrive via a special order. Peoples thoughts? Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Only thing that I could find of relevance were the problems experienced earlier this year with the 27" iMacs.

MacBook Pro :: Moshi IVisor AG Vs Power Support Anti Glare Screen

Jun 20, 2009

I don't want to start a matte vs. glossy debate, but I may have to cut the glare on my new unibody. I'm going to give it a little more time to see if my eyes adjust, but for now it still seems to be causing light headaches in my environment. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has been able to compare the Moshi iVisor and the Power Support and can comment on the difference. I don't know anything about Moshi, but have heard people say that they make good stuff. They seem to mostly advertise the screen based on it's ease of install and while I know first hand how painful it is to install a power support screen, I'm more interested in the quality of the display after the install. I'm wondering if the Moshi has the same little grainy feel to it that the power support has.

MacBook Pro :: Anti Glare Display And Moshi Clearguard Keyboard Protector?

Apr 18, 2010

Anybody who have an ant-glare display on the unibody MBPs (15" or 17") and also have the Moshi Clearguard Keyboard protector? My concern is that since there is no glass covering the anti-glard display, it is a little more delicate. Over time, it is inevitable that grease and oil stains will get transferred from my fingers to the Moshi Clearguard (fine I'm not worried about that). What I'm worried about is when I close the lid of my MBP with anti-glare display, will the LCD screen actually touch the Clearguard, and thus, transfer grease and oil onto the LCD screen?

MacBook Pro :: Moshi Anti Glare Screen Cover PICS And REVIEW?

May 5, 2010

So I got my Moshi Anti-Glare screen cover for my late 08 15" uMBP. I like it. It DOES make a difference, and I like having a little protection for my screen. It makes the blacks a little more grey, mostly noticeable in natural light and if you're looking at the screen from a bit of an angle. It's not as prominent from dead on. Honestly, I didn't like it immediately after I put it on. Of course, I just dropped 40 bucks on it so I wasn't about to get rid of it! Now it looks totally natural to me. I didn't take pictures of the actual cover before I installed it, but it was a breeze. Came with a little microfiber cloth to get dust/prints off before you install. The adhesive is only on the black border of the screen. No air bubble issues at all, and it lines up super easy. On the cover, the border is also black, but clears out to show the MacBook Pro on the bottom. For the iSight camera, it clears and ALSO has a hole for the lens, so there is nothing covering your camera (which was a concern of mine. I would have just cut a hole for it, but I appreciate not having to bust out scissors) it's a little disappointing in intense natural light, like in the picture, but it really shines in an office environment. I'm ok with that, since that's where all my eye-strain was coming from. If I do any work with natural light that I can't control with blinds or moving to another couch, it's not gonna be that serious. Overall, I'd love to not spend 40 bucks for a piece of thin plastic, but no sense in complaining about the Mac accessory market now =) I do recommend it, and if for some reason I get another glossy notebook, I will be getting this most definitely.... though I think I'll be better off getting an anti-glare screen from the get go.
