How to Get the Old Classic Layout of Photo Viewer in Facebook

Posted by on Wednesday, 8 February, 2012

 

Facebook has rolled out a Google+ style photo viewer that displays user comments and ads next to the picture in an overlay window, without leaving the current page. Thus, you don’t have to scroll the page to read the comments and the photo viewer adjusts itself as you re-size the browser window.

Certain Viewers are finding this new layout very distracting as the new photo layout takes up the entire screen space so is there any shortcut or browser plugin to use Facebook’s classic photo viewer ?…the answer is yes..There is a way by which you can switch back to the Old Classic Layout to view photos in Facebook and you don’t need to download any script or plugin to get the Old Classic Layout of Facebook Photos.

Three simple way to back

00

Method 1

While the photo viewer is active, press F5 on your keyboard (or hit the “reload” button in the browser) to refresh the Facebook photo page. This should open the photo without the overlay.

Method 2

Whenever you see the ugly Facebook photo viewer with a dark background, click the browser address bar and remove “&theater” from the URL and hit Enter. This will switch to the older Facebook photo layout

Method 3

the easiest option is that you hold the CTRL key while clicking the thumbnail of any photo on Facebook and this should open the corresponding photo in a new tab but without the lightbox effect.

Difference Between LCD and LED

Posted by on Friday, 9 December, 2011

Mainly two types of Displays are very famous among people. These are LED(Light Emitting Diodes) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Displays) displays. Due to presence of these two different kind of displays a person thinking to purchase a new display often gets confused between the two and is unable to decide which one to choose. In this article I want to discuss the  difference between LED and LCD

Accuracy of the color patterns: Due to the better techniques used in the LED display, these Displays are very accurate in their color display and that is why these are capable of presenting natural color pattern to the viewers. In this LED technology, a series of diodes is connected with each other at the edges of the LED screen and that series works more effectively to filter the natural colors of the displaying objects. When power makes these series illuminated, the effect is simply outstanding. The technological excellence of the LCD Displays  is not at par with that of the LED Displays

Contrast/Black Levels: LED displays have better contrast ratio as compare to the LCD display. Major drawbacks for a LCD display are that it is unable to create the dark areas of the images on the screen. Due to this reason there is a loss of image quality and detail. Whereas LED displays produces better black areas which in turn produces better contrast and more detailed image in the dark areas.

Viewing angles: LED displays have much better viewing angles than the LCD display. In case of LCD display beyond the 30 degree from the center the contrast ratio of the image start to diminish. LED display does not have any such limitation and they have much larger viewing angle.

Power consumption also makes a big difference between LCD and LED TVs:  Because of the fact that the LED Displays are made with better technical specifications, these Displays  consume lesser power while switched on. This attractive feature can help people in a great way to put the electric bill lower quite considerably. It is a big advantage that is provided by the LED Displays over the LCD Displays.

Finally…If you are looking for better picture quality and better features then LED display should be your first choice. If you can compromise a bit on quality then you can go for LCD display.
