Default Monitor With Blue Tint
Just pulled an external from the closet and hooked it up to my Mac.

The monitor has a blue hue that I thought at first was the monitor itself but after hooking up my netbook, it appears to be a problem with the adapter or the Mac not sending the right color.

Any have this problem before?

It generally meams a color has died on the monitor. Odd. What type of monitor?
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

Is this with a DVI connector or VGA?
Are you using the default color profile? Some have had this issue and resolved it by creating a custom profile for the external display and just using the default setting in it. Apparently this is a software bug they havent gotten ironed out yet.

Mag Innovisions.

Don't think it's the monitor. It works fine on other machines.

Yup, it's the pins or the cable itself. If possible, replace it.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

The cable works fine for other machines and I just bought the adapter yesterday to connect it to my iMac
