[thelist] monitor color settings

[Joel D Canfield]

Um, the most likely solution will involve a trip to your local hardware
supplier. Sounds like the yoke (IIRC) is toast. If it changed, then was
stable, you can usually pull the case (YIKES!! 20,000 to 50,000 volts in
that puppy. Don't do this unless you REALLY know what you're doing.) and
twiddle with the color settings. If it's drifting, I think the yoke or
some other Very Important Part died. If you've got a pro nearby they
could check it out, but if you had a pro nearby, you probably wouldn't
be asking us.

Call whoever you bought it from or even Viewsonic - Viewsonic is pretty
good to deal with.

Subject: [thelist] monitor color settings


I recently moved, and ever since the color on my monitor seems to be a 
bit wacky.

By 'wacky' I mean the evolt.org homepage, which is usually a nice green 
color is showing up brown, and a lot of other websites just look odd.

I've got a Viewsonic PS790 pro, which has served me well, but to be 
honest, I know shit about monitors and their settings :)

So, I'm wondering if there is a way to 'reset' the colors on it or 
something. I tried using the RGB settings, but every time I set it to 
something that I think looks good, I come back an hour later and it 
seems even more screwed up than before.. There's a lot of options with 
the monitor hardware, like color/brightness, size/position, geometry, 
tilt, viewmatch color, viewmeter/degauss, memory recall, video level, 
and moire reduction(whatever that means).. Hopefully this doesn't seem 
like to dumb a question, its just something I have zero knowledge in and

was hoping someone could help me out :)

Thanks!
