PowerBook DVI - Screen Question
My PowerBook screen has a greenish-blue cast to it. Nothing totally earth shattering, but to me, it's annoying.
I had a Rev. A PowerBook and I didn't have this problem. I have tried to calibrate it in the Displays pref, and nothing really gets rid of the overall cast when all's set and done. The picture lacks warmth.
I'm at a loss as to what to do, since it's 12:35 AM ET, I'm tired, and can't find anything out there on the net and in forums that really address the problem...that's why I turn to my trusty folks here at the AI forums! Do I call Apple (since I ordered it from them)?
Thanks for any help you could give me in this regard.

Note: the background monitor is a 15-inch Studio Display, and the foreground is a Rev. C PowerBook G4 667 MHz.
Now, I did call Apple Tech Support Saturday afternoon regarding this problem, and they ran me through a series of tests. Nothing changed the overall color of the screen. The color was still off. So, they sent me shipping tags to sent the unit back, and I will get a replacement in the next 4 to 7 business days...I'll keep you aprised.
I'm often surprised at just how a big a difference there is when I see my Powerbook side by side with the Cinema display. It looks fine on its own but when compared against a desktop monitor it always looks quite shabby, and the photo you posted doesn't suggest anything out of the ordinary to me.

I find that the calibration software that comes with the TiBook sucks. There is a free app for calibration that you can find at Versiontracker called SuperCal which is far more accurate. Try it, I promise you will be surprised.
