The weird thing about this is that it seems like its coming and going. Visible on darker areas, especially on dark grey (like the dark toolbar on top, if you have chosen that look), or the dark color of the dock. Vertical thin, thin lines over the screen. This might be understandable, cause I think I've already have a RGB signal from the MBP via the MDP-port, right? Or.am I not seeing something here? But there is no difference, from what I can see, regarding sharpness of text, colors etc. I also got normal info in Airplay (that said my main, external screen was a TV). I have tried the script and the information regarding that the screen should be TV, well it disappeared together with the TV-hz settings in the screen preferences in OS X. But, from what I've understood - I would really see a difference (in a bad way) if I was getting the YPbPr-signal.
Even though I get the info that my external display is a TV. To make things a bit clearer, I've not connected the MBP to the HDMI port on the screen, but to the display port. I will try and return the screen to Dell. I have also irregular flicker on the screen from time to time, which actually got worse yesterday - then i powered the screen down.īesides that, i also have found a darker spot on the screen. But the colors looked exactly like before, I guess. Could the computer send a OK RGB-signal and even though tell me the external screen is a TV, and has this anything to do with me using the DisplayPort? I actually tried a script (might be yours), and the TV-status was gone.
I can also tell my screen is found as tv when i look in the airplay menu.īut.the colors look like they should, I think.witch might be weird. The only thing that tells me that everything in not alright is the info in screen settings telling me thera are 60hz and 50hz options, and that the system info says "tv: yes". The screen itself turn RGB on when connected. The thing is, I think the colors look as they should, and I also get the info that i get ARGB from the computer. No HDMI is involved, the Dell takes DP directly. Well, the screen is connected via MDP -> DP with one cable.
I do this for a living, I know all the ins and outs on a professional level.the fact that it was this difficult for me is completely ridiculous.) I'm SUPER angry and annoyed right now at how much time I've wasted just trying to hook a monitor up properly to my computer. And the fact that Apple refused to help me is unforgivable and I should be given a refund on my AppleCare since they have yet to be able to actually fix any problems I've had. This should not be a problem in this day in age.
It took me two days to set up a very basic two monitor extended desktop system and have the colors match. The fact that I have to "hack" my OS to make it work is unbelievably lame. The fact that Apple made it impossible to turn such a basic setting on or off is ridiculous.
Not to mention, RGB can be used with TVs as well.My PS3 for example, sends RGB. HDMI is not only for TV connections, man. And since Apple's hardware in this machine doesn't support DP1.2, I can't daisy chain. That'd be brilliant if I didn't already have another monitor plugged in there. It's a shame we can't get official support from Apple to fix their own systems, you have to rely on some knucklehead on the internet instead.well hey, kids. This issue is now fixed for me, and it can be for you as well. Since Apple refuses to correct this situation, I used some resources online and made it cut and dry. Yet, if you call them about it, you'll just get the run around and have no real answer other than, "just buy our massively overpriced monitor and it'll work." (I spent over an hour and half on the phone with Apple "tech support" and they couldn't even understand the basics of how their own systems work in regard to monitors.I had it on speaker phone the whole time and even my Luddite girlfriend couldn't believe what she was hearing.) It's a commonly posted about topic that Apple (whether they will admit it to you or not) is blocking the sending of the RGB color space to many non-Apple monitors.which is a bunch of malarkey. This specifically refers to the Dell U2414H monitor being sent the wrong color space (YPbPr instead of RGB).
