I have a new Lacie Electron 22 blue 2 monitor (my 5th replacement, 3 due to
convergence and other problems, long story). It displays black as dark
reddish brown. The outer edges of the screen are brown. In photoshop or
quark a box filled with black or RGB values of zero display as dark red
brown. At start-up and shut-down the screen goes brown. Using a mac dual
533, system 9.1, in the monitor control panel, for adjusting brightness,
with the monitors brightness control down to zero, both halves of the "guide
square" are still clearly visible, and the center oval is fairly bright
brown. Using the Blue Eye calibrator, does not change this situation. It
sets brightness to zero as well, and there is no change in the brown issue.
its as though the monitor is too bright?
This is the second monitor from LaCie that has this problem. They have
advised me they will respond once they have run some tests on the previous
one. I have tried different locations, video cards, cables and computers,
as advised by LaCie tech advisors. They have told me its my flourescent
room lighting (I don't have this), and I work in a dark room. They told me I
should be working at 9300 degrees, not 6500 ???
Yesterday I used a friends Lacie Electron 22 Blue 2, its perfect (slight
convergence), definately no brown problems!
The Blue eye cable (connecting the monitor to the computer) causes severe
ghosting on the screen. The original monitor cable does not cause this
problem. A replacement Blue eye cable has the same problem. LaCie has no
answer to this, I've been waiting a month!
Any suggestions? I would gladly change brands at this time, however
Computerware where I purchased the monitor initially in March, just went out
of business.
Thanks, Shawn
