Software :: Emac Display Too Bright
Jun 5, 2008
My parents emac G4 is having a display issue. I gave them this machine when I upgraded. They are lost on it so I am trying to fix it for them.
There are 2 users on the emac.
On the one side the display is perfect.
The other user's display is way too bright. Gray colours look nearly white and I can't see some of the icons in Mail. It looks like it is being lit up extra bright from the back.
The administrator of the computer side is fine. Colours are perfect.
I've gone into System Preferences and worked with the display stuff in there. Contrast/Brightness etc. Nothing.
I would think nothing is wrong with the display since the administrator side is fine. I've changed the gamma stuff and still nothing.
When I go into the Finder on the non-administrator side I cannot access the Colour Sync Utility. I can only do that on the Administrator side, which I did but the changes did not apply to the other side.

I've got a 2006 17" iMac (serial # starts with QP) and it's developed several bright, vertical lines on the display. Been reading around and it appears that this is not an uncommon problem. Whether this is something that can be repaired.

iMac, 17" - Manufactured August 2006

Why does it seem like my eMac display looks nicer than my iMac display? I always wanted to know or am I tripping?

I have an EMac G4 that has a number of problems, It is a 1.25gz. Sometimes it will boot to a blue, blank screen, on holding down the alt key I see the boot drive and I can start up (10.4os) but will go to the blue screen again. When it does start up properly, which it does for no apparent reason, there are little dash shaped spots on the screen and a flashing horizontal flicker. I ran fsck and disk utility and installed a fresh version of 10.4 to no avail. I do not have the original disks so cannot run hardware test. The computer falls under the Apple emac screen repair but they will not accept it because it is out of the three year time limit, very frustrating and unfair.

I have tried to migrate hardrive content from the emac to our imac with no luck. We still need to get eveything off the emac. What is the best way to do this? Take the hard drive out and then what?
We have a macbook in the same situation if you can answer that one too.Â

I have a new MBA, 13" which I'm loving so far. I like the screen bright - like almost all the way up all the time. Other than shortening my battery life, will this setting cause any damage to the screen?

I've had bright spots appear behind my LCD screen for the second time this last month.
They look like the LEDS from the backlight are pushed up too close to the LCD and sort of washout the LCD in that area. The have occurred on the left side and the right sides along the lower edges of the screen.
I'm fed up with all the repairs this laptop has needed and feeling that I paid 2000 dollars for a quality product I went to the apple store today and asked for a replacement unit.
I was told that the recurring bright spots (on top of 3 other minor repairs and 1 major repair) did not warrant a replacement unit. The manager even said that they shouldn't have fixed this problem last time because it is cosmetic and not covered by the warranty. The genius also repeated the phase "This doesn't happen by itself" (I nice way to say I did this and that they shouldn't cover it. )
The manager decided to make me feel special and say something along the lines "We'll fix it again this time because we did last time".
My warranty is running out in 6 months and I need to know what's causing this. I always transport my laptop in an incase sleeve with a shoulder strap. There have never been any external marks on my casing when these dots appear. If I put too much pressure on the screen wouldn't the middle bend in more and I would get problems there? There weren't even marks on the screen from the keyboard keys yet I put enough pressure on it to cause this without even knowing it?
The best part is I asked the man who gave me my repaired laptop back how to prevent what the manager called 'LCD bruising'. When I mentioned bright spots he said 'Oh that's a defect we cover under warranty'.
Im going to contact apple's customer relations on monday regarding the repeated repair trips. I have no confidence this laptop can go a long period of time without needing repairs.

I have a 24" LED Cinema Display and I've been using Adobe Lightroom 2 to edit photos. I began to notice that many of my photos seemed slightly underexposed when I viewed them on my MacBook Pro and other computers. I then compared the same photo on both screens at the same time and realized that my LED screen was brighter than my MacBook Pro screen and this was the reason for the underexposures.
I love how bright the screen is most of the time but I want to use it to edit photos and it's just to bright to do that accurately.

Why does my screen look dull? It's not dull like when you stop charging it, nor is it as bright as when it is charging, it's about in between. I have it plugged in and the battery constantly reads 95% never 100%. The little green dot is on the charger input and the battery symbol shows that it is being charged so I know it's charging. What reason would be why my screen is not as bright as before?

I bought a MBP last weekend, and noticed in the last few days a few bright "spots" on the screen in the top left hand area of the screen. It's like the complete opposite of a dead pixel - it's just bright and whitish. It's almost like a speck of glitter on the screen! It's only visable from certain angles, but is one of those annoying little things!

Have a late 09 i7 27" iMac with XP SP3 installed on Bootcamp partition. Even after turning down brightness in BootCamp control panel all the way down, I still feel like I'm staring at the sun. Screen is still way too bright. No such issue in OS X. Is there any Windows app (similar to Shades) that allows further brightness reduction? With brightness as is, Bootcamp is pretty much unusable to me.

Right now I'm in a dark room and it's really hurting my eyes because of the brightness. Is there an app or something that can make the screen get even dimmer/brighter?

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

My IMac screen keeps changing brightness as I use it, currently the LHS of the screen is not as bright as the right. Â
Does this sound like an adjustment or a fault? The sytem is about 6 months old from new.

Is something like this decumented? I can still see everything on the screen, it's just extremely tinted green, and it's like that since the moment it boots up, even the first grey startup screen is green. I've tried calibrating

Has anybody seen this on their Macbook Air? A very bright, fading line of 6-8 mm at the top of the screen? I just returned my MBA because of this a couple of day ago. Then today I go to the local apple dealer (in Denmark) and I see the exact same bright line on the MBA screen in the shop. I also checked a unibody Macbook, a white Macbook, and an 24" iMac. None of these screens had the problem - it was only the Air. So now I wonder: is this a feature of the MBA, or was I right in returning it because of this.

I'm looking for a external monitor that is compairable in brightness as my iMac's screen. The brand needs to be Samsung, and the look of the Samsung moniter I would prefer to look like the examples below. Why? Because I want it to match my TV. I'm also looking for a small monitor because the space I have is pretty small and I dont want to have to move my iMac and look at it at a angle. I currently have a Samsung SyncMaster 906BW with a 1440 x 900 60hz resolution and its VERY dull compared to my iMac and its at 100% brightness and 85% contrast. Here are some of the screens I'm looking at so far, would they be close to as bright as my iMac's screen?

I just bought a 12" powerbook from craigslist. The guy I bought it from powered it up outside in the sunlight so I didn't notice until I drove an hour home and booted it up. The bottom of the screen towards the very center is extremely bright compared to the rest of the screen. I discovered that if I push on the bezel right below the LCD, the screen normalizes. However, I can't see anything that looks bent, dented, or cracked anywhere on the screen, bezel, or back of the LCD.

My MacBook pro is about 2 weeks old. As soon as I unboxed it, I noticed some stains on the speaker grills. The stains are only visible in bright daylight. The stains seem to disappear for a while when cleaned with a damp cloth, but quickly come back. The stains weren't any particular shape at first, but after repeated cleaning, they same to have morphed into perfect circles.
