View 4 Repliesi bought a Sony VGN-AW31XY/Q notebook. Fast processor, 2 SSDs, 18.4" display, 8GB ram AND a antiglare display.
BUT it's a wide gamut display and i'm a webdesigner. I didn't know there is such a huge difference between this and a "normal" display. Red and green are oversaturated like hell.
My question: HOW or CAN i change the colors to "normal"? The point is, calibrating Photoshop or any other color managed software is no problem. But i need color mangagement for ANY other software too (Flash, Google Chrome and so on). There must be a solution.
Isn't there a tool that loads on startup where i can adjust the colors? Not only brightness, contrast and gamma levels but saturation and hue also?
Whats the major difference between 16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900)
and 16.4" VAIO extra-wide HD display (1920x1080). Upto what angle I could see my display in VAIO Display (1600x900)? Can I watch HD movies perfectly in VAIO Display (1600x900) ?
I recently purchased a brand new model of Sony Vao VPCEB1S1E/BJ from a local megastore. While the laptop is really to my liking, I am a little annoyed with the screen.
I know these laptops are those "energy star" models, that save power, but the display brightness is really not bright enough, even if I change the settings to the brightest possible leve
I would like to buy a vaio, but i can't find the right. I'm lookink for 14"-16" display with resolution over 1600x900,

I own a VAIO VGN-N395E/B laptop. One day I found that the display is not working. The laptop boots fine but there is no display.
Is the display card a separate unit or integrated with mother board. If that is the case will I have to change the mother board?
Are you guys using the display driver from the Sony esupport website or the ATI software support website??
I just wanted to know which driver was better or if they are both the same thing?
Also is the display driver from ATI more update then the Sony esupport?
If I keep game client running, the display won't turn off even if I set the time in power management. Is there another way to turn it off? I'm using SR model.
View 5 Replies View Relatedjust bought myself a Sony VPCF115FM, and love it. I live in Australia although i think this notebook is from the US as it had some BestBuy software on it when i first turned it on.. anyway..
I was just wondering, is it possible to put the brightness up higher? I went into control panel, then hardware, then display and it was already at it's highest, then i pressed the 'Fn' key and then kept pressing F6, and that too was already at its highest, but comparing the display to my mates Asus, or my other mates Toshiba, their displays are so much more brighter then my Sony, so is there ANY way at all to make it brighter? Also, is there any configuring i could do to the display to make it better in any way or form?
One more question, about the backlit keyboard, is it possible to keep it lit on at all times? I've heard there's a sensor somewhere, where if i block it with some tape, it will leave it on all the time? If so where abouts is it? Had a bit of a look but to no avail.
I have FZ21S with original Vista Home. The only reason I didnt settle for XP was exactly the dimmer noise, any other setting than full brightness had the annoying noise.
It wasnt the case on Vista, used it for over a year without issues but since couple of days I have it on Vista too. It is the kind of dimmer or broken fluorescent lamp kind of buzz.
I doubt it is hardware fault, more likely something messed up with the Nvidia driver.
Another Nvidia driver , it is the latest Sony Support update - 7.15.11.6760
I installed Windows 7 on my VAIO. When I hit the volume button on the keyboard, now there's no volume display bar showing on the screen

Its that normal? I have Windows7 x64
I bought Full HD display, but I was dissapinted when I connected it to my laptop and found out that i cant set the full hd resolution and that only other 16:9 is 1366x768 which is the same as the laptops display.
Is this hardware problem (TZ240 does not support full hd resolution) or is something wrong with my video drivers?
I suggest you try this before voting if you did not already tweaked your monitor profile: Vaio_F11 Monitor Profiles Roundup & US glossy vs. EU Premium Displays.
From the FAQ: "You may view the current results for a poll before you vote by clicking the 'View Results' link". Click any blue number to see all the user names.
So non-Vaio_F11 owners, don't skew the results as we can see your user name.

I've problems starting my Vaio SZ2. They occured one day without changing anything (Hardware or Software) before.
If i push the power button, the screen backlight turns on but remains grey/black. No vaio logo, no boot screen, no bios access! I unscrewed the whole computer (3 years old) and checked all the cables. Then i released the screen cable from the graphic chip and tried booting with an external display! And that worked!
It seems to be a problem of the display/display cable or the graphic card.
I just got my FW 590 CTO a week ago, and two days after I got it I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the display when the brightness is set to anything other than maximum.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to search for Nvidia Display drivers for the following device. Can anyone help me?
OS: Vista x64
Hardware Location: on NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS
Hardware Id: MonitorNVD0400
How much would the difference in the Display be if I choose:
i) 16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900) with NVIDIA® GeForce® 310M GPU (512MB VRAM)
While customizing the F instead of:
ii) 16.4" VAIO Premium Display (1920x1080) with NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU (1GB VRAM)
The second option is Full HD and seems to have a more powerful graphics card but I heard with the first one I would have more battery life?
What are the positives and negatives of each?
There so much factor that shows the display quality: Viewing angles, color gamut, response time....
But the most importans are brigthness and contrast value for 99% of users. I collected this data from notebookreview and notebookjournal.
This is the customization I am thinking of getting:
No additional Photo Editing Software
16.4" widescreen with XBRITE-ECO™ LCD technology (1600x900)
No additional Finance Software
320GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [5400 rpm]
Fresh Start
None
Standard Capacity Battery
No additional Anti-Virus and Security Software
WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n) with integrated Bluetooth® technology
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD4650 graphics card with 512MB vRAM-good for games and movies
No Engraving
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz)
No additional Video Editing Software
CD/DVD playback/burning
Black
Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium 64-bit
4GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 2GBx2) .................
if the US version of the Sony VAIO F Series Display is wide gamut? EU Sony says it's 100% Adobe RGB coverage. What is the US version?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought a second-hand Sony Vaio TZ 390, which came with Vista. I updated to Windows 7 and installed all the drivers. Everything seems to work but I cannot get the Vaio TZ to output to the external display. What happens is the external lcd gets a signal initially when I turn on the Vaio TZ (connected to the lcd) but it loses the signal shortly after I log into Windows 7. Btw, the lcd I use is a Samsung 2333HD.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a VGN-AR550U laptop. According to the property page for the Display adapter it is: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT. I want to be able to run a Powerpoint presentation where the slides are being shown on a big screen and the notes are shown on the laptop screen. I understand this has to be done thru a dual monitor type of setup. Can I test this without actually hooking up the big screen or does it automatically go into a dual monitor mode when you plug in the second monitory. When I select presenter view it says I don't have a second monitor.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I have been receiving a ridiculous amount of BSOD's. Today alone I have received at least 15 of them and they all display the same message "There was a display driver timeout".
It always happens randomly and I can never repeat the exact situation. It just BSOD when it wants.
The error code which appears is:

I now own a Sony Vaio AW31 S/B notebook with full HD display (double lamp but non-LED).
Quite impressive machine, but I have one problem: In windows and IE8, the colours look a bit too "punchy" and contrasty for my taste.
I found that there's an ICC profile included for the display which by default is applied in the Windows colour management. When I watch my photos in the Vista photo gallery, the profile seems to be applied correctly, as the photos look very good and natural, but when I use a photo for example as a desktop wallpaper, it looks much more contrasty and not so natural anymore.
Vista itself also looks quite contrasty, and also many websites in IE8.
I already tried to turn off the colour management in the Vaio control center and find proper settings in the GPU driver (as I did with all my previous laptops without colour profiles) but didn't succeed in finding a natural setting.
So my questions:
How do you overcome this "problem"? Anyone maybe found good screen settings without colour management (which doesn't make so much sense if you don't calibrate your screen by yourself)? Or did you get used to the punchy look of Windows?
Is there any way to make Vista use the colour profile also for its user interface?
I want to use my notebook to do a presentation in class. However, no matter which projector I connect to my Vaio SZ440, the display is unable to be shown on the projector.
I've tried Fn+F7, not working, tried stamina mode, not working, tried speed mode, not working. I've tried "Connect to a projector or other external display", not working. I've no idea what I should do. I really need to fix this or else I'll get screwed this semester. Every other notebook the projector connects to, it will automatically detect and show the display. Only mine is like this.
Please help. About 1 year ago I didn't experience any problem when connecting to a projector. I didn't remember what exactly I do to make it go bad. But I really need it to work this semester.
I've got a european Sony Vaio Z (first generation), which seems to have some major overheating issues, especially when it's connected to an external display.
Setup:
Sony Vaio Z11VN -> Docking station -> NEC2690WUXi (running at 1920x1200)
Here's a summary of temperatures when this machine is in SPEED mode (Nvidia 9300gs) in Windows XP (idle)
GPU: 92C(198F)
HD0: 41C(106F)
Temp1: 66C(151F)
Core0: 78C(172F)
Core1: 78C(172F)
Clearly, the temperature drops if I switch to STAMINA mode, or if I unplug the laptop from the docking station, however, in the latter case the temperature drops to perhaps 70C.. so that is without running it on the external 1920x1200 display.
and when running 3d applications or games, the laptop can simply shut itself off for no reason whatsoever (overheated?)
I've heard about overheating problems of the NVIDIA GPUs.. is this such a case? (NVIDIA 9300GS)
I'd like to know if anyone else have had this problem with their Vaio Z (i've seen ppl having problems with the FZ)
My model is a VGN-Z11VN (swedish, although distributed via the UK)
I am planning to get 2x 23inch monitors 1920x1200. So now here is the situation. I want to connect both of these to my sony vaio z. I have found solutions such as the Matrox DualHead2Go box and what not.. But i was wondering if i can get the sony z docking station and use that for dual output. Unlike some other threads that i've read my situation would be to plug the hdmi on the laptop to monitor1 and the dvi from the docking station to monitor 2.
