Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I purchased a 24" LED Cinema Display along a unibody MacBook Pro last month and I am overall very happy with the purchase, minus two things..
1. I only want to use the display for photo editing work as for most other purposes display of my 15" Macbook Pro is good enough and is far more convenient for general use(not to mention it uses less electricity). I need to know a way to power off the display without having to each time plug in/out out its mini display port from my MacBook Pro. Since the 24" display doesn't have any sort of power button, I was wondering if there's any way at all to turn it on and off (or maybe just bring the brightness to zero) using some command from Mac OS X or some software or any other way which doesn't involve pulling the mini display port each time. I do preferably want to keep using the 24" display's magsafe port/speakers/USB hub all the time.
I would also love to know how those of you with this combination of 24" Cinema Display and MacBook Pro are using them and if this inability to power down the display bothers you.
2. there seem to be some scratches/dust inside the bottom left corner of the display panel. There are no dings or scratches on top of it. I initially thought it was some dust marks on the outside but my attempts to clean it led me to find out that its inside the glass. Any ideas what this could be?
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!
