my screen is split in two with a contrast higher on 1 side.

my computer laptop hp g42 has the screen divided into two. I'm not sure how it happened. Ive tried the recovery system, of course, customization, themes, and the line is still there. I posted a photo on fb and sound on the peak. one side is darker and has a higher contrast. Any suggestions?

Hi bodivan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. From your problem description, I understand that the display is divided in two with a contrast high on one side. Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the required information:

·         What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

This could be a problem with the display/graphics drivers.

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Run the display troubleshooter.

Open the troubleshooter of display quality

Method 2: Follow the steps in the article.

Ways to improve display quality

Method 3: Update the latest drivers to display/graphics.

Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

You can also read this article for more information on how to adjust the brightness of the screens and contrast.

    My screen iphone6 is cracked and in my country, they can only change the iphone with a new one and with a very high price. Is there anyway that I could replace just the screen?

    No, if you want to keep all rights to the service or support from Apple. Not to mention the fact that it then will be bork Touch ID and make the phone unusable if ever, you restore or update of iOS.

    Apple doesn't sell parts of the iPhone. There is no legitimate sources for replacement screens.

  • Replace screen green Mocha & follow-up with perspective problem

    So I have these images;

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqtfcg5m7rw35wd/phone%203.m4v?DL=0

    1. which requires the phone to be tracked and replaced the screen. I am familiar with mocha AE and can easy follow up but lose track completely when the phone is off the hook in the beginning and when the top left of the phone turns off the screen. No idea how I can solve this problem of follow-up? I have actually some more shots like that have the perspective and thumb-finger obscuring the phone, so none of the shots are very frank. I can't find any tutorials on the topic in depth.

    2 I used Keylight for touch on the green screen (workflow; Color touch - switch to the status display, black clip adjusts the gain of the screen, white clip) but I had to cut the white as the images on the guys hand now dances autour, as is the noise. That is almost like the layer's mode "dissolve the dance." Well, I guess it's because I cut so white... A few tips on this would help me lot too!

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you!!

    I took your film and brought in After Effects.  He was very small, so I doubled the size of the model, and then added some exposure compensation and detail preserving high-end to give me more pixels to work with. I then exported a sequence of images to use in Mocha. The sequence of images was imported from AE and a new created model which corresponded to it. I selected Track in mocha.

    After analyzing the images, I realized that I had problems in the first few pictures because of the motion blur and depth of field. There is a black bar at the top and bottom of your film and which would also cause a problem. The solution is to create a spline X first to act as a grip on the tracker.  The second step was to create a set of X grooves on a new layer covering the sides, top and bottom of the phone. I started on a frame that shows most of the phones. The layer was on top, the tracker below layer. I followed with interest, then repositioned the CTI for the start of the track and followed back until the track began to fall apart.   Backup of the last tract good framework I have change to set track and completed manually tracing. It took only about to keyframes. Then I adjusted the surface and refined the track using the 16 x 16 in a super grid.  The track was closed and I've added a new X spline to use as a Roto for the thumb. I have isolated the part of the thumb covering the screen only.  The layer of Roto was locked to the track and then adjusted and fringes of edge has been applied.

    When this was complete I first exported mocha for the layer of Roto shape data.  Back in AE I duplicated the layer of film and pasted Mocha shape data to the copy that gave me a perfectly hidden copy of the thumb.

    The last step was to take the replacement screen image and add to the timeline and then secure the composition and then before dialing. Back to mocha, I copied code confidential from corner of the layer and glued to the replacement screen demo data.  By arranging the layers with the original film on the bottom, replacing the following screen and thumb on top of the implementation of the composite for final adjustments. Setting of the motion blur and focus on the replacement of the screen to complete the project. Total duration of approximately 15 minutes.

    Your film would, in fact, a good tutorial because of his problems. With your permission, if the sequence is yours, I will when I have time. The point is that you should analyze your film and then decide on the best technique to achieve your goal. Same horrible images can be used. You must analyze the images and then decide the best technique to achieve your goal. Any film can be tracked manually in a reasonable amount of time using the proper technique. He really successfully complete your film was enough to improve the contrast and exposure to follow up and do a bit of work by hand.

  • Ease of access: Journal of contrast high Windows 7 on-screen

    I have a requirement for two users by which a user requires "High contrast white" and the other "High Contrast Black" - these users run dedicated Windows 7 (x 86) offices of the company.

    Users can set the contrast setting and their session works fine as well, however when both disconnect their machines of the welcome/login screen does not account for the contrast (automatically - I am aware, you can configure ad hoc in the ease of access left tools down but this does not appear to last after a reboot).

    I looked in the [HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Accessibility\High] contrast on a virtual machine to test, which allows the following:

    Flags = 127

    Model of high contrast = high contrast white (as example)

    This seems to work successfully to create the "black/white" text to the Windows 7 welcome and login screens.

    However.

    Do the same for "model of high contrast = high contrast black" does not provide the same results - it alters the Welcome screen to be identical to that provided by 'High contrast white' instead, whatever 'black' being specified in HKCU and HKU\default...

    Any help? I'm more than willing to say I stayed probably about this the wrong way, but my goal is to have the State of high contrast 'session' users and their match to the Welcome screen.

    Very much appreciated.

    ICM

    Thanks for the reply,

    Your suggestion of "color calibration" was very close to the mark in terms of idea.

    While I put the values of contrast in HKU\Default, I didn't have to set equivalent registry 'color' to accompany - therefore the default value of 'white' instead of all the other setting contrast values.

    [HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control panel\colors]

    -> Enter values in here for each element that is similar to what would normally be defined in HKCU when the value of 'High contrast X' is chosen in the personalization solves the problem.

    Restart of the box and the log on screen showed the correct palette.

    Thanks for the reply.
