Apple :: 13" MBP Screen - Images Look Darker And Crisper And At The Bottom They Look More Bright And Less Detail

May 19, 2010

At the top of the screen, images look darker and crisper and at the bottom they look more bright and less detail.

Here's an example of an icon that should look the same, but it looks distinctly different (and it's not the camera exposure -- what you see is more or less how it is). Should I return the machine and get another? Do you think Apple will even consider it an issue if I wanted to get it replaced? Do you guys have the same thing? I only noticed when I had a lot of the same icon scattered on my desktop and the same icon looks noticeably different. Of course, I am always the person to notice anything about electronics whereas other people would never have so much as a clue. even though the video files are what got me seeing that things are different, you can kind of see it with the folder icons as well.

Sony :: Any ECO-screen Users Try To Reduce Gamma For Darker Colors

Jul 27, 2009

So I noticed having hopped on my FE790 (3-years old) with Hi-Color technology that the contrast is SOOOOOO much better than on my FW465.

The colors on me FE790 look so much more vibrant and it was rather painful to look at the same picture of a multicolored flower on the FW with the FE790 right by its side.

I decided to use the Catalyst Control Ceneter from ATI to try to tweak the settings

Apple :: .opening Encrypted Images In Windows

Jan 9, 2010

I'd like to encrypt my entire hard drive in this MBP. I use Time Machine, though -- and my understanding is that FileVault (a) is exploitable, and (b) requires that users be logged out for backups to occur. Both of those are big problems for me.

Behind that, the easiest way to encrypt things that really, truly should be protected somehow is to use Disk Utility to create a protected image, or such is my assumption. From what I understand, a .dmg can be converted to ISO within Windows (or opened with 7-zip). Is it at all possible for an encrypted .dmg to be converted/opened under Windows?

I ask because I'm not convinced I won't be on a Windows 7 notebook at some point, especially with updated HP Envy and Sony Vaio models coming. Could be wrong, but I like flexibility.

(I know that TrueCrypt serves a similar function to encrypted .dmg files via Disk Utility and is cross-platform, but still.)

Apple :: Third-party File Encryption / Encrypted Images With Time Machine

Nov 1, 2009

My understanding is that FileVault's shortcomings are such:

- Documented vulnerabilities
- Requires that user be logged off to backup with Time Machine

I have a few things on my notebook that I would like to be kept safe in the event of a loss or theft. I used to use AxCrypt on Windows for this, but there are no OSX builds for it, so what I'm wondering is this:

- If I create an encrypted image and use it like a TrueCrypt/Cryptainer partition, will Time Machine back the image up as it changes over time like any other file?
- Is there any reason I shouldn't do that over some other way of keeping things safe?

Dell :: Inspiron 1545 With Bright Screen

Apr 3, 2009

I've noticed that the screen doesn't seem to be evenly lit. For example when I set the desktop background to black, it looks pretty black at the top of the screen, but as I look further down towards the bottom it turns almost medium gray/blue-ish.

I've tried all brightness, contrast and gamma settings with no luck.

Has anyone else seen this problem, and is it a reason for sending back the laptop? Or is this something "you get" for buying a lower-end laptop like the 1545?

HP/Compaq :: EliteBook Super Bright Screen

Feb 16, 2010

I need a notebook for outside in the sun use. Between 14"-16" that has a very BRIGHT screen. I've tried the Envy 15 w/Matte and it's too dim. Would you recommend the new EliteBook 8540w or 8440w? Do these have really bright screens that are good for outside use? I need good battery life too.

Dell XPS 13 :: White Patch / Bright Blemish On Screen

Mar 12, 2013

After having my XPS 13 for a couple of months I have noticed a bright blemish appearing on the screen.

It remains in the same place regardless of screen aspect so it seems to be the screen itself rather than a software/driver issue.

Rather than being one bright pixel it appears as an indistinct and irregular bright patch roughly in the middle of the screen.

Dell XPS L7 L702X :: Screen Flicker / Bright Flash

May 1, 2013

What is happening with the laptop, sometimes I noticed my laptop screen will flicker(or a bright flash as if someone was taking a picture). When I go to the event viewer it tells me Desktop windows service manager has been disabled by the windows system assessment tool. I'I have the nvidia graphics card + Intel(using optimus technology),running windows 7 professional 64 bit.

I forgot to mention when playing videos I think the graphic card makes a strange noise like there isn't enough power or something (Not 100% sure)

I have nvidia gt555 with intel Optimus 
Intel 2670m
8GB of RAM
Windows 7 professional

I tried to do a fresh install of windows 7 but the problem still persists and I cannot test it since I have deleted the recovery Drive. How do I test if the graphics card is working properly

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X220 IPS Display - Bright Spot On The Screen

Sep 25, 2011

Yesterday I have noticed a problem with the display in my X220 (type 4290-W1B). There is a small, white spot (about 1 mm diameter), clearly visible on the screen. It doesn't look like a normal bad pixel, but like a problem with the background light, or something. It is not visible when black color is displayed. The laptop was bought about 3 months ago and everything was OK until yesterday.

I have attached some pictures of this dot, but it is difficult to capture it with the camera (it is much more visible in real). I have marked the spot (it is in the middle of the circle). The pics are in high resolution so you can zoom in.  

What should I do now? I have heard , that the Lenovo bad pixel policy is 3 bad pixel per display...

Dell :: XPS 16 I5-540M Detail

Jan 18, 2010

I have been inquiring with Dell for two days regarding a few specific details on the XPS 16 with the I5-540M processor. No luck yet, and I am researching it on my own as well.

I am interested in the I5 because it is faster than the Core Duo 2 alternative and it looks like it might help keep the heat down some on the XPS due to better power management. Also based on Intel's info it appears you can dynamically switch between the laptop's integrated graphics processor and the ATI 4670 that comes with the machine. This should help some with the heat and battery life as well. Info being searched out, all input welcome.

1) How is the switching done on the XPS 16 from the integrated I5 GPU to the Discrete ATI 4670? Intel says the chip is capable of doing this with the right OS. Dell says it cannot do it dynamically and it can only be done via the bios. They also said it will not really reduce heat or power as Intel says it would.

2) What is the FSB speed or actually the equivalent when it is working with the ATI card instead of its integrated processor? There is not a FSB/North Bridge on the I5-540M so it must be communicating with the ATI GPU via PCI-X or something else.

3) How much of the Laptop's 4GB of memory will be used by the I5-540M integrated GPU when in use and is it released when the integrated GPU is disabled the 1GB discrete GPU is in use?

4) Is the discrete ATI GPU completely in an idle state when the I5-540M integrated GPU is in use or is the ATI still acting as a path to the graphic ports?

Apple :: Scratch The Bottom When Removing Screws

May 28, 2010

I slipped up a few times and caused hairline scratches on the underside plate of my 13" MBP when I installed my Momentus XT (which I am now returning and getting X25-M). My heart dropped when I heard these screeching noises, but it doesn't look too bad and hopefully eliminates the OCD I tend to have with electronics.

Dell :: Screen Secured Too Tight At Bottom :: Common With LCD Screens?

Feb 6, 2009

Well I got my M1530 today and pretty happy with it overall.

The only thing I don't understand is, I got that wireless remote but I thought there is a pocket on the side of the laptop that I can put the remote in there?

Well, after wiping windows I began the steps to put on Linux. Now I've never had a laptop so I'm not sure if this is a common thing or a problem,

but on the bottom of my LCD screen it seems that the screen is secured too tight to the casing. It gives off a whitish blur at the bottom of the screen only in black displays.

Sony :: Vaio Zuneven Backlight, Greenish Tinted Spots At The Bottom Of The Screen

Nov 16, 2009

After using my new Vaio Z for a few hours i noticed a slightly greenish hue at the bottom of the screen(1600x900). It's mostly visible with white or very light background.

There are a few of those spots and i think it originates from uneven LED backlight. It's not instantly obvious, but after i've noticed it I find it somewhat distracting.

Dell Alienware M17x R3 :: Thin Flickering Horizontal Lines In The Bottom And Top Of Laptop Screen

Dec 3, 2014

I have a M17x R3 laptop since a few years. A few weeks ago I sent it to the shop to have a SSD installed and have Win7 reinstalled (Windows Explorer kept crashing all the time and I wasnt able to format for some reason). When it got back from the shop, I realized a problem that was not there before.

There are 2 horizontal lines, one at the top and one at the bottom of my screen that keep flickering. They dont appear when I'm on the desktop or playing games, only when I have a program running (iTunes, Steam, DivX, etc) in fullscreen. 

Here are my specs

Alienware M17X R3
Windows 7 64 bit
AMD Radeon HD 6870M (I also have Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 in my display drivers. Just noticed that the version for both is 9.3.0)
6GB RAM

Dont know if it has anything to do with this, but when I got my laptop back I tried to install Cataclyst Control Center and it messed up my graphics bad, I could only run 640x480 and the only way to fix this was to uninstall CCC.

Other observation: on the Windows locking blue screen (see below picture), instead the clear light blue on upper left corner, I can see something like a sun with round circles around effect .....

Lenovo Yoga 2 Flex :: No Access To Gmail - Images Load Incompletely

Oct 3, 2014

I recently bought a Lenovo Flex 2-15 (Intel Core i5-4210U, 8GB RAM) and have had troubles with browsing pretty much ever since (though it got worse in the last few days). I can't access GMail (stuck with "Loading..."), images load incompletely (some don't show up, missing parts in others etc), songs on Hypem only load the first two or three seconds instead of the whole song - and the list goes on.

I usually use Chrome but I've tried Firefox and Internet Explorer - and the problems persists. How to enjoy browsing again? This situation is unbearable. I recently even switched to my smartphone for browsing and writing emails.
