Well, after it got lost for 3 months somewhere between England and
Switzerland, I finally received a new 22" Cinema display purchased on
Ebay. It is now replacing my Sony 24" CRT and the workspace is very
similar, with the same resolution I used before (1600x1024). This
resolution is ideal for me for reading small text and file names. I
downloaded a copy of basICColor Display 2.5 to use with the Spectrocam
for it's calibration. That's where the first problems occurred :
Countless quits and crashes until I could both calibrate the device and
complete the monitor profiling under OS 9.1. But at least it is now
through. The screen colors look good, contrasty and the images are
crisp. that's a good improvement over my aging Sony who was fading away.
I immediately noticed that some images made in the last few months had
been over accentuated as a result of the old screen getting soft : On
the Cinema display, they appear quite hard.
Now, there are two issues that I am not sure are normal:
First, there is a 3" wide area on the left of the screen that appears
slightly pinkish. By contrast, the rest of the screen appears greenish.
Also when I scroll through lines of text, they appear as they are
outlined with green.
Second point: When I have a red area on the screen, like a red rose (a
plain red color area of the same pixel values won't suffer from that), I
see horizontal lines of white pixels flashing here and there like the
dropouts caused by a dirty video head.
Are these problems normal on the Cinema displays or should I get
worried?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
