LG.Philips Displays

LG.Philips Displays

LG.Philips Displays was a joint venture created in 2001 by LG Electronics of South Korea and Philips Electronics of the Netherlands. It primarily manufactured CRTs used in traditional television sets. It was the world's largest manufacturer of CRTs. These two companies also operated another joint venture, LG.Philips LCD, which focused on LCD panels used in flat panel television sets and laptop computers. As of 2006, the company had run into bankruptcy and restarted under the same name with investments of a third party (JP Morgan). LG.Philips LCD was not affected by this bankruptcy. LG.Philips Displays shares were sold in the beginning of March 2007. The company name has been changed to LP Displays from 1 April 2007. LP is a historic reference to the old parent companies LG and Philips. Since, the fate of the company is unknown, although it appears that its factories were later repurposed or sold.

Comparison with RGB displays

Comparisons between RGB displays and CMYK prints can be difficult, since the color reproduction technologies and properties are very different. A computer monitor mixes shades of red, green, and blue light to create color pictures. A CMYK printer instead uses light-absorbing cyan, magenta, and yellow inks, whose colors are mixed using dithering, halftoning, or some other optical technique. Similar to monitors, the inks used in printing produce a color gamut that is "only a subset of the visible spectrum" although both color modes have their own specific ranges. As a result of this, items which are displayed on a computer monitor may not completely match the look of items which are printed if opposite color modes are being combined in both mediums. When designing items to be printed, designers view the colors which they are choosing on an RGB color mode (their computer screen), and it is often difficult to visualize the way in which the color will turn out post-printing because of this. Spectrum of printed paperTo reproduce color, the CMYK color model codes for absorbing light rather than emitting it (as is assumed by RGB). The 'K' component absorbs all wavelengths and is therefore achromatic. The Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow components are used for color reproduction and they may be viewed as the inverse of RGB. Cyan absorbs Red, Magenta absorbs Green, and Yellow absorbs Blue (-R,-G,-B).

can't rearrange multiple rotated displays

Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, I was able to reproduce your problem using both unity-control-center (the default "System Settings" manager for Ubuntu) and mate-display-properties (which implements "Monitor Preferences" for the MATE desktop alternative). If you just rotate the displays, it wo not let you simply drag them closer together -- seems like a bug, maybe this one.I was able to work around the issue by just messing around a bit (after setting the desired orientation). Here's a sequence that seems to work (given my particular starting arrangement):It's like some kind of sliding puzzle, where you can not go directly from the beginning to the end, but instead have to transition through intermediate "legal" states.Below is a screenshot after the first step is completed.EDIT: 3 years later, I can no longer reproduce the fix that I posted here. There is clearly a bug in the MATE version of the tool.ARandR is nice for multiple reasons:

Terminals, displays, screens, workstations and monitors

At that time, the words terminal, display, screen, workstation and monitor were used interchangeably to describe the same thing, although today only the first one is considered the appropriate one (other ones evolved to reflect other uses). Although not consistently in any manner, the IBM preferred term at that moment was monitor. An operator basically sat in front of this device that vaguely resembled today's PC, except the monitor was smaller, the device was more expensive (US$2,000), it featured a text-only (2480) interface and the available colors for the screen were only green and bright green, although a seven-color IBM Color Monitors later became available. Some purists refer to a printer as one type of workstation. 5250 compatible terminalsBy the mid-1980s, third-party companies have made compatible devices (based on what would become IBM 5250 standard, today mostly served by terminal emulators). Prices plummeted and new features appeared - for example, Decision Data terminals allowed operators to choose the seven colors from a 64-color palette; there was an optional time display; and setup was accomplished through onscreen menus rather than DIP switches. IBM colorsPrior to 1984, the 5251 monitor predominated - it was US$2,000 and what IBM called "dual color" (green and white). However, by 1984, the IBM 3180 terminal helped usher in the grand new age of IBM Color - seven colors (pink, red, blue, yellow, green, white, and turquoise.) For those who wished to "keep it cheap" but eschew the omnipresent green, there were also amber and white selections as early as 1986. By 1984, the price of the 3180 terminals was under US$2,000, though there was a graphics-capable terminal that sold poorly. Programming colors did not require a new screen programming language, because the implementation was completely at the hardware level. A protocol called the IBM 5250 Data Stream interpreted field attributes such as blinking, non-display, high intensity, reverse image, underline, and column separators and was used in combination to create colors. Normal text was presented as green on a 3180 color terminal, but high intensity became white. Column separators became yellow. Blinking became red. Underlined text was presented as blue. High intensity blinking became pink. High intensity column separators became turquoise. Unfortunately, extensive use of colors became confusing when using the less expensive dual-color terminals. The five terminal lightsOn a 5251 type terminal (aka "Concrete Block",) there were five lights to watch for: (1) System Available light. If lit, this terminal is connected to the S/36 and is receiving information from it. (2) Message Waiting light. Other users, and the system itself, can send messages to workstations. If lit, there is at least one message that has not been seen yet. When a program ends or when the user signs on, the message(s) will be shown. (3) Insert. The Insert key has been pressed. Characters after the cursor will shift right when text is keyed. Press Insert again to cease Insert Mode. (4) Caps Lock light. The Caps Lock key has been pressed. All keys pressed will be uppercase. Press Caps Lock again to unlock. (5) Keyboard Shift light. The Shift key is being pressed. The key pressed simultaneously will be uppercase. KeyboardsThe standard US keyboard was heavy, clunky, featured 122 keys, and weighed approximately 10 pounds. (On the positive side it had a cent-sign key and a HELP key. The PRINT key did what it was supposed to do; it printed the screen.) There was a special terminal and keyboard for Katakana. PrintersTypical System/36 installations would include one of these printers.: IBM 5219 - A daisywheel impact printer not far removed from the IBM typewriters. It was good for about 40 characters per second (CPS). IBM 3262/5262 - A band printer rated at 650 lines per minute (LPM). IBM 4234 - A dot-matrix printer rated at 410/800 LPM. IBM 5224 - A dot-matrix printer rated at 100/240 LPM. IBM 5225 - A dot-matrix printer rated at 280/560 LPM. IBM 3812 LED page printer IBM printers were well-built, had impressive duty cycles, and were priced in line with their marque. For example, a 5262 would go for about US$12,000.Configuring devicesDIP switchesEarly 1980s-era printers and workstations had a series of binary switches known as "DIP switches" for configuration. For example, U.S. English and UK English, where the British use the pound sterling ("") and the Americans use the dollar ("$"). A switch could be set up on printers and monitors where in the zero position the British value would display or print. In the one position the American value would display or print. Online setupBy the mid-1980s the DIP switches were gone and the status quo became online setup. The technical person would hold down a certain key while powering up the device. A "test mode" display would appear, and a menu option would allow the operator to choose the addresses for the devices. Sometimes an emulated terminal would have a PC-style printer port. Sometimes the emulation would allow you to configure as many as seven devices. Setting the addressUp to 40 local devices could be configured on a System/36, using eight lines numbered from 0 to 7. A line was defined as a series of twinaxial cables attached to devices with IN and OUT ports. Three binary switches on every device were used for the terminal's address (the physical designation of a particular terminal on a particular line.) Two devices can not have the same address on the same line. Once the addresses were set, the system could be configured to use them. A workstation expansion gave you ports 8 through 15, and another 40 devices. Auto-configureThe System/36 had a feature called auto-configure. This allowed configuration merely by setting the addresses on the devices, turning off the S/36, connecting the devices to the S/36, and restarting the S/36. The system would configure the devices, including assigning workstation IDs, and so forth. Configuring using CNFIGSSPThe CNFIGSSP procedure was used to configure the system, including the devices. Each device is assigned a two-character ID. The first letter must be alphabetic; the second must be alphanumeric. The system also reserved certain IDs; you could not call your device I1 or F1, for example. I1 is the name of the diskette drive; F1 is what the system calls the hard drive (stands for "fixed disk," since it is not a removable disk pack.) CNFIGSSP is used to place devices on the line/address map; identify the particular IBM printer or terminal model; assign characteristics such as console, alternate console, subconsole; and to name the printer's subconsole. To apply CNFIGSSP, the system must be dedicated (no other users logged on or programs running.) The system must then be IPLed (rebooted.) When IPL finishes, the newly configured devices will appear on the status display.
