Deb,
I think this problem is unusual for any panel that is not really old. But, a few things could be causing this (including the panel.) For example, the eye one pro is undisputably the most accepted device in the graphics community. Every few years, it should be returned to the good people at X-Rite to "re-adjust". I suspect somewhere between 3-5 years. Eizo upgrades their software frequently to account for OS upgrades, and bugs that might arise, so I always recommend getting the new version. You can download this from the Eizo website. Also, some recent OS upgrades have caused corrupted profiles. We have found that erasing those and re-creating them has eliminated similar problems. Video controllers can also contribute, so I always recommend trying out the panel on another computer if you can. Certainly, if we point to the panel, Eizo needs to look at it to consider warranty replacement. Lastly, I am not a fan of calibrating ambient light (as much as
keeping light consistent and low). I think this can result in moving targets, and "chasing your tail" although some in this forum may disagree. Either way, changing lighting can definitely be a contributor. Those experts in this forum can give you good advice, but as far as the monitor, I hope you will contact us at Eizo to try to troubleshoot as well.

Hi All,
I've been calibrating my moniter for a while now without any problems. Nowadays
no amount of calibrating will remove the green cast that has set in. I've been
trying to resolve it unsuccesfully for quite some time now without any progress.
How can I narrow it down to what is actually causing the problem? I suspect the
problem started when I changed the lighting in the room. I use an eyeone pro
and when ambient light is checked the profile created reflects the light temp.
(not sure if I'm right about that). Being an eizo monitor I tried their
software without doing any ambient light checks but it gives me the same green
cast.
Is there an old profile embedded somewhere causing the trouble?
Has my colorimeter seen better days and needs to be replaced?
Should I try the adobe gamma utility?
Is my monitor making trouble?
Everything I've done so far to figure out the problem has just made me more
confused. I've printed a sample picture, scanned it and viewed it on two
different screens. The result didn't really shed much light because at this
point I'm not sure what profile did what to the original picture.
I am running Windows XP and I have a Nvidia Quadro FX580 Graphics Card and an
Eizo CG241W running mostly Photoshop.
Any help will be tremendously appreciated.
Deb Bauer
