I'd pulled up a B&W image in PS and filled the screen with it, and had Apples calibration software window open and dragged to the side. I could'nt get things to work. I opened a full screen white window and saw why: the white point in the center third of the screen was warm, and the left and right thirds were cool - a definite pink to blue shift. I took it back the next morning and when they replaced the screen, screen 2 had a blue line running through it. Screen 3 had horizontal bars of uneven luminosity, which the tech people showed me as being evident on all of the iMacs on the floor when a white screen was pulled up. You could probably get away with it working on saturated color stuff, but with B&W it would be very distracting, for me at least. Long story short, I'm getting a new/old stock matte screen 24" white iMac, plumped with a full ram upgrade, and $200 bucks back. It should arrive this afternoon, having been overnighted from Louisville. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
