T500 WXGA + LCD screen adjustment challenges

Someone has any advice of setting LCD display for a T500 with 1680 x 1050 screen and Intel 4500HD GPU? I'm making adjustments in the Intel Graphic Media Accelerator Driver Panel. I am running Vista Home Basic.

A number of programs, different as Calibreze start by you calibration setting the contrast to maximum. When I do that it washes out the screen so I back off on the contrast and try to go through the ordeal, but the result is gaps in the color saturation. I'm still frustrated by the video settings on the same control panel button. When I change the settings here it seems to have an effect on the small test photos provided in the setting window. It has no effect on the screen itself. I found a bunch of Vista color management options, but I have no idea where to start with these. Finally, I tried to find a guide to the user for but came up with nothing. Does anyone know where to find one?

It left me wondering why I didn't just buy a computer with a dedicated graphics card.

Hi Doublej,

You don't say what your purpose by adjusting your screen. If it is to have a monitor really calibrated in terms of photo editing, then I recommend that you just give up on the screen of the laptop in all cases and using an external monitor. The external monitor must be of type IPS, MVA, or PVA (Wikipedia / Google these if you're not familiar with them) If a flat screen or a (gasp!) CRT. All these options are expensive, except the obsolete CRT. Just about every screen of the laptop these days and flat screens more external too use TN technology, which is excellent for the game (fast response time), but total rubbish for angles of vision and the accuracy of the colors. Don't believe me? Load a color picture on your laptop, then try looking at slightly above, slightly below Center of Center, left of Center and right of Center. See color changes and brightness? How can possibly calibrate you that? (You can not - there is no way to always look exactly the same angle the screen, even if you can place your head perfectly, your eyes see different parts of the screen from different angles.) A good external monitor will give you as much better contrast ratios (brighter areas / dark).

After getting a decent monitor, it's always a good idea to calibrate it. (I saw some Dell monitors and Apple come pretty close without calibration and others who were the way out of default calibration.) The calibrator screen X-Rite i1 display 2 comes with the easy to use for Windows and Mac calibration software. (Other calibrators can be just as good, but I haven't used it so don't know).

The online monitor Test FlatPanelsDK is ideal for a quick visual check of calibration of your screen.

One last thing: discrete graphics have No. color calibration advantage over your beautiful card Intel integrated graphics.

    I think, you should contact the Asp (SAV) and ask them about compatible lcd screen. Can say that the screen is one of the most expensive parts of the laptop as a motherboard.

  • Replace T400 WXGA LCD WXGA +?

    Hello

    I recently bought a T400 with LCD WXGA 14.1 "- I would like to replace it with a screen 14.1" WXGA +.  Someone has he done this before, to know, or know if it is possible?

    Thank you.

    That is right. The absence of specification "LED" indicates that it is in fact a CCFL Backlight Panel.

    If you buy a LCD replacement on fleebay or love it, I strongly suggest that you make your purchase based on replacement of FRU part number.

    Note: If you replace the LCD screen, you will cancel your warranty. Always keep this in mind.

  • Satellite PRO U500 - LCD screen size is reduced

    Hi all,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 with one small problem, the size of the LCD screen is reduced. I have a white border to the right and down. The max resolution is 1024 x 768.
    The problem is visible also when I enter the BIOS, so I think that the problem is not Operting System drivers.
    Is there a solution to my problem? I have to send in the audience?

    Thank you for the help

    It is really strange, especially if you see the same thing in the BIOS settings?
    Since when did you notice this behavior?
    Do you use pre-installed OS original you got with your laptop?

    Have you done something that may be responsible for the issue described?

    I U500 and default display resolution is 1280 X 800 t, so I understand why you have 1024 X 768 on your U500.

  • Re: Satellite M300 - should I replace a damaged LCD screen?

    My LCD screen is damaged and almost impossible to use. The laptop is still under warranty, but I understand screen damage are not covered. I don't know even how it happened. I'm not aware of any bump or impact to the unit.

    It is better to spend the money to replace the screen or it would be cheaper to buy a new computer? It is a spare computer that is only used if I am away from giant, holidays, at hospital etc.

    That the cost would be about, in Australian dollars?

    Thank you
    warrawillah

    Hi warrawillah,

    I think that it of difficult to tell if you need to replace the screen or buy a new computer. In my opinion it s based on the price of the new view.

    You need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can order all spare parts and if you want to replace it also.

    Good luck!!!

  • LCD screen turns off without reason - Satellite M40X

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40X, I work when the LCD turn off and I hear two PIF. To turn on the LCD screen I need to restart the laptop, but the problem persists after a few minutes.

    Can someone help me, please.

    Hello

    Here you can compare the version of the BIOS installed on the laptop with the one published on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    If you use the older BIOS, you can try to update. Maybe the update will sort this strange behavior.

    But there could also be a hardware malfunction if the BIOS update does not help.

  • Portege R100 video cable does not reach the replacement LCD screen

    Hi guys, I have replaced the LCD screen of my Toshiba R100, than they had in it was defective. It seemed that it was a replacement at some point however. In any case, I received my new screen, but does not reach the video cable to the top of the circuit of LCD screens. How am I meant to connect it to the screen? Is there an extension cable or what? The screen they had in there previously looked like they were welded copper wires about 8 digitizer.

    Here are 2 pictures of what I mean

    Hello

    Where did you buy this screen?
    Are you sure that it is perfectly compatible with your laptop protected R100 to 100%?

    Looks like it s not fully compatible
    However, if an extra cable is necessary you can get it from the Toshiba ASP in your country.

    In your case, I recommend you contact the guy and ask for compatible cable!

  • Satellite 5100 - LCD screen no longer lights

    Hi, I hope someone will help me on this problem.

    After disassembly of the top satellite covers the lcd screen that does more, but I guess the system is working properly because I can hear windows access "jingle". I think that I reconnected it all cables (green and white connectors for the video card), but I'm not sure thin brown/white/black cable of the lcd screen. That's all

    Hi stefano88,

    Why you have disassembled the LCD?

    To be honest I n don't know cables, you want to say you also plugged the UPS FL for LCD display? This is necessary because FL inverter controls the backlight of your screen.

    Can post you a photo of the cables you want to say?

  • Satellite Pro U300 - the broken LCD screen

    Hi all

    My first post please bare with me.

    I have a Satellite Pro U300, who has a broken LCD screen.
    I have a replacement screen, but not sure how to go abouts it change places.

    Someone at - it a service manual for this model or the tricks and tips on how to disassemble the unit to swap the LCD broke with a new one?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The service manual can be downloaded. It s not for the public and it s only for Toshiba and approved providers available I think.
    On the Toshiba site, you can download the user manual, but I doubt it would be useful for you.

    I think the best way would be if you go to an authorized service provider. The exchange of the LCD is a little tricky and you should have experience with this.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search for an ASP. I m sure that the technicians will help you. ;)

  • Tecra 9000 - no display on the LCD screen when you turn on

    I recently got a Tecra 9000 for cheap on eBay. I am experienced with the construction and repair of computers, but not so with laptops.

    The problem with this laptop, it's that do not display on the LCD screen when you turn on. It was just black, no backlight, nothing. I took the laptop all share, found no obvious problem. I had to turn it on and the screen lights up a few times trying to figure out the problem. Would it be a bad connection? Or something else?

    After getting it to start work, I'll try to start to put it back together and it stopped working again. I haven't not been able to reduce it to know if it's a bad connection or a card problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions? This is a problem for others here?

    As you describe the issue, I think it is somehow a bad connection or a damaged cable, because it does not work once you have disassembled the screen.
    Maybe you need to check all the cables, leading motherboard to the LCD and take a close look, maybe for a few scratches or strong curvature.

  • Bad monitor or LCD screen cable on Qosmio X 505?

    Looking for a little help to solve my problem.

    About six months ago my web cam log if I moved the monitor back or front. A month or two later the monitor should fade a bit. I have to move the monitor to restore its brightness. The monitor will now completely black if moved. I have to close it and open the lid (monitor) completely so that he could appear at the back and it still does not work the first time... I am running an external monitor via HDMI to avoid the problem... I really need to this address.

    This sounds like a cable of the LCD screen or a monitor problem? Looking at what part to replace everything first.

    Thank you for your time.

    You know very well that this virtual path no one can say with certainty what the problem and this question must be verified correctly.
    I put t know why you don t tell us what model of laptop you have.

    Anyway, if you have the new Qosmio notebook with valid warranty I recommend to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and let them solve this problem. Warranty will cover all costs.

  • Satellite A100 - display balack after replacing the LCD screen

    Hello

    So I'm trying to fix a LCD on a Satellite A100. The girl I am set as said she accidentally hit the screen with his hand and became black.

    When you turn on the laptop I can here windows activate, nothing is on the LCD screen. It is not the backlight, because I don't see anything on the screen at all. So I bought a replacement LCD screen and that one does not work either. Same question

    I think it is the inverter, any suggestions?

    Could be the sensor cover?

    Thank you! Kyle

    Hi Kyle,.

    Did you buy this new LCD screen to a service provider authorized? I ask this question because it would be interesting to know if it s a Toshiba valid a party or 3rd party a spare.

    Did you check the connection of the LCD cable? There may be a link to lose or the cable itself is touched.
    Theoretically, it might be the FL inverter too, but I doubt that. Otherwise, you'd see something on the screen but very dark.
