Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Full front, side, diagnol - so sort of looking up from the bottom right to the top left, just so we can see the size, i really need to see this in person. I never thought the 20" looked that big untill i saw it in person, i can only imagine how big this is.

ok I'll take them when I've finished this little bit of work I have.

Thanks mate, really looking forward to these. We have an Apple Reseller near me and they never get in new stock till about 3 weeks after they are released.

Sorry about the image quality, only bedroom light on. Will take them during the day but it will be at the weekend due to Uni!

I used the CD in the first image for a size comparison. Standard dual case (kick ass) cd.

New additions: Samsung 32" LCD, Imac 24".

No I don't see the point either... least I can tell the girls I have over 70 inches in the bedroom :no: .

Man that looks very sweet! Would you my sharing your experience with the tft-panel in the new Imac 24"? I'm thinking in regard to.

- Backlight bleed? if any.

- Compared to the Cinema displays (if possible)

- Dead pixels?

- Effective viewing angle

- Backlight homogenity? brighter/darker in the corners?

Your comments will be greatly appreciated, as i am planning on getting one if the panel-quality i equal to or very close to that of the ACD's.

Thanks

To be fair, I bought it before they one on show at my local Apple store First in Manchester to own one :) ! Therefore I never got the chance to compare it with any real detail towards the ACD's. As for dead pixels there is indeed the one which isn't 'dead' but just in a constant state of bright green, which is only really noticable when surrounded by a black backdrop (most noticable on the front row menu). That was there from the very outset though (Saturday) and I haven't noticed any new ones develop since, so I deem that acceptable.

Viewing angle is very good, if not brilliant. I find it to be almost 170 degrees if not more. I guess it's subjective however as to what is deemed 'viewable'. i can pretty much read the text on the far side of the screen when looking almost across the screen as it where, It's better that my TV anyway.

Backlight homogenity, not noticed any major differences as it where. Apart from:

Backlight Bleed; I have quite a major bleed towards the top right of the screen with an almost yellow appearance, apart from that it is remarkably low. This doesn't concern me 'too' much, the only noticable thing is when in the dark. This for me is not often, hence the lack of a problem.

Check your PM's soon.

Well if its a stuck pixel, you can sometimes fix those on your own by gently rubbing the pixel and in some cases by getting a program that will cycle green blue and red. Also sax, read Apple's dead or stuck pixel policy, I'm not sure what it says but if there is a certain number, they will replace it. And if I were you, get one in the store because you can always ask to inspect it before they sell it to you. I've done that before just to insure there were no dead pixels on my PowerBook.

But like I said, it is possible to repair a stuck pixel on your own, I would though look at a tutorial because I have never had to so I am in no way experienced, lol.

Thanks man, i really appreciate it. And thank you for the backlight pics. :) Now i'm really in doubt whether i should get it or not. I guess i'll need to do so seroius pro's/con's contemplating. As i see it the only thing holding me back is the panel. But it's hard to judge if the problem you've demostrated are noticable in normal lighting?

Thanks again

Humm the thing is i dont really have an Apple shop near me and the reseller i have near me doesnt expect the NUS discount. I have been looking around and the backlight bleeding seems to be a problem with a few people. I will try and sort out a trip to the apple shop to get it :)

If its a serious problem, Apple support (at least in the store) is pretty flexible. The chances of having a bad iMac are pretty slim compared to the chances of having one that is perfectly fine. I'd say go for it and if for some reason there is an issue with yours, then contact Apple.

    • I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
    • M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
