How to calibrate an external display for macOS Sierra?

Hi guys,.

seems that on my Macbook Pro after the update everything is strong and displayed correctly.

However, on the external monitor, a 24 "AOC who was as crisp and sharp as the laptop (kind of I know) the images and the text seems to be well screwed. two attached photos to see the differences between the screens - even cannot correctly read the external monitor

any ideas on how to solve this problem? or is irreparable? I tried to calibrate the monitor, used the old calibration profiles, etc. looks like illegible

Thanks in advance

Hello justme12,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

If I understand your post that the quality of the image on the external monitor is as clear and crisp as it used to be. I understand wanting to the external monitor to be as clear as possible. I recommend using the steps in this article to help resolve this problem:

  • Using Late 2009 Imac as external display for PC with display port 1.2

    Hi all

    Thanks for your time.  I searched for a definitive answer to this question before I go ahead and make a purchase.

    I have a Late 2009 Imac 27 ".  I would like to use it as an external monitor for my new PC, which is a graphics card EVGA GTX 970 with a displayport 1.2 output.  I'll be able to use a DisplayPort / mini displayport cable to connect to my Imac to use as an external monitor for my PC.

    The Imac doesn't have the speed I need for photo editing but I like the contrast and the size of the screen offers.

    Any input would be appreciated!

  • What is the best external display for use with Tecra A8?

    It is perhaps off of a question, but I'm in the market for an external monitor for my Tecra A8. The price range of 400 euro round. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    What size of monitor you want bye? 17TO? or 19a?
    I read checked the product on some websites and the Samsung SyncMaster 970 19a testing? is not a bad choice. You should get to 400Euros.

    But it's usually? not easy to say which screen is best. I think you should visit some computer dealers and compare external displays. You know that you can check the clarity, brightness, contrast and response time. CA? It's important if you want to play games. It should support a low value. For example 8-6 ms

  • Printer "filter failed" for macOS Sierra?

    Hi all

    I have upgraded my iMac and MacBook Pro with the new macOS Sierra and did not have a lot of problems until recently. As my exams are approaching, I print on my printer, Canon E560 comments. However, recently, some pages may not be printed and printing stops. He said "stopped -"filter"failed", and I can't find a way to solve this problem. I did this experiment several times, and in early printing, it is said immediately that the filter is not on my computer, but continues to print up to a page where it stops. Some pictures on the already printed pages are distorted. Is this related to the Sierra macOS? This is true for my two computers. I replaced the cartridges of ink, but in vain. I've also sent cannon on it, but they take a lot of time to answer me.

    I have another printer on the floor in my house, which is of my fathers. So, I tried printing with it, but words have white lines through it, for some pages. This shows that it may be a problem with the document or the software, macOS Sierra 10.12.

    For two printers, it seems that the content of the pages is pushed down as well.

    Thank you very much

    Ethan

    Have you looked for a new driver for your printer? Canon are responsible for updating the drivers for their products to ensure that they are compatible with the new operating system

  • reminder for macOS Sierra notifications shows 1, but none here

    Hi there, HMILLER75. Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

    It seems that if you get a reminder that there is not actually on your MacBook Pro, which has been upgraded to macOS Sierra. You have made a huge step in troubleshooting, but since it did not help I have a few extra steps for you.

    With the reminders on your Mac app, close it using the Menu option (callbacks > reminders Quit) then hold down the SHIFT key left while the reopening of reminders to clear the cache.

    Safe mode try if your Mac does not start -is not only recommended safe mode when your Mac is not put into market, it also erases the system caches and certainty that your Mac starts correctly.

    These steps should clear reminders inhabiting not actually on your Mac. Have a great day!

  • How to hide the image displays for lightbox

    With the help of DW, I have a screen of lightbox.  Here is the page:

    Example page

    As you will see, if you click on the photo, it opens on a viewer.  My colleague wants to have 10 pictures to open in the light therapy device, but they don't want all these photos to have thumbnails on the page.  In other words, they want a single photo, you click on it and then see all 10 in the lightbox.

    If I put all the code img for all 10 images on the page then all 10 images will be also visible on the page.  So I need to somehow 'hide' the images so that the small version of the photos do not appear on the page but will be displayed in the lightbox.

    Sorry if that sounds confusing and I hope someone can help.  Thank you.

    I've never seen either as it already existed on the site, and I discovered it actually just.

    Here's another example

    When you get to the above, click on the turtle and you see how many photos are in the lightbox.  Then close the light box and scroll down and click on those + symbols.  See the other images in the other sections?  Somehow the code takes these pictures in the album too.

    I want to do the same thing, but the key is there is no + symbols on the page - just picture a turtle and when you click on the turtle, all other photos appear in the box to light.  Another thing I think to do is to have picture of a turtle and then 10 1 pixel by invisible image of 1 pixel down at the bottom of the page and then have 10 of them, and then the ref h for each are the larger photos - in this way, when you click on the turtle, the code will pull large pictures of the 1 X 1 in the light box.

    Well it would be pretty easy to do as 'By' suggested in the previous post and hide "thumbnails" you do not want on the page:

    Create a rule in your css - something like:

    .hide_thumbs {display: none ;}}

    So in general a set of images of the light box might look like the code below. (when you click them they open in a lightbox and this lightbox usually has an option to display the other pictures in this particular Gallery by clicking through them, rather than by clicking on them individually).

    turtle

    whale

    Dolphin

    Tunna

    If you add a class = "hide_thumbs" ones you don't want to show get the display: none; property, BUT they must remain available in the lightbox click through.

    turtle

    Whale

    Dolphin

    Tuna

  • Suggestions for external display for MacBook Pro?

    Hello

    Any suggestions on a nice external monitor I could use with my MacBook Pro for mid-2012? I expect something in the range 27 ".

    Budget is $ 300 - $400 (US).

    Thank you.

    I love LGs and Samsungs for the reliability and the quality of the image.  I have a 8 years 1680 x 1050 Samsung who has only problems with its VGA input (probably due to the resistance of signal source more than monitor).  My monitor HD LG of 4 years is clear using the DVI input.

    Some suggest that Apple monitors, and I won't argue with them.

  • How to connect 2 external displays?

    I successfully connected a monitor to my laptop via HDMI port and extended to my office for that using the IntelGraphics Assistant. My laptop screen is the "primary", and my external monitor is the 'secondary '.

    I have now tried to expand my view more by connecting a 2nd monitor via the VGA port - but it does not work: it's not being recognized. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
