I have an apple RGB monitor and, being the picky person I am, have
found that the monitor is not perfectly white all over (when the whole
screen is white). I get a slightly (very slightly) bluer/brighter area
inthe center and a more yellow ring around that. There are also some
areas that appear slightly dimmer than others. These variations are
very very slight and hard to see with any room lights on, but knowing
where they are, I can see them.
Am I being picky,, or is my monitor abnormal?

I believe this is not as uncommon as it ought to be. Of the four Mac IIs in our group, all with Apple colour monitors, one had to be returned because of lack of colour convergence, and the others all vary in quality. It took more than a month before Apple Canada would authorize the return of the faulty monitor, but anyone with normal eyesight who tried to use it for more than a few minutes quickly complained of dizziness because of the difficulty in reading text. The astigmatic user couldn't bear it for even a few minutes. BTW, this is all after adjusting the convergence. A local Apple VAR claims he can adjust the overall colour convergence far better than the condition in which the monitors are delivered, but we have not taken him up on it yet. > >Joe Peterson >Schlumberger Technologies >Billerica, MA > >email: peterson@applicon.com > >Disclaimer: My company has nothing to do with what I say here, nor does > it use any other bizarre forms of mind control. ------------------- Simon Tortike, Department of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineering, The University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, CANADA T6G 2G6.
