Paul,
Try:
Another computer
Another cable
Another port on the graphics card
If it's bad on another computer and another computer, return it.

Really? I have to uses an external device to calibrate my PCs and Macs.
It's not clear to me how this could work.

Subject: [SLUG] Monitor issue
Folks:
This is a shot in the dark, but I'll try anyway.
My wife's ViewSonic VP series (professional, flat panel) monitor died over
the weekend, so we went and picked up a ViewSonic VX922 monitor (also flat
panel) so she could continue working. Since we do print work, the trueness
of monitor color is important. The VP monitor was expensive and featured its
own color calibration built in. For the VX922, we had to buy color
calibration software. (All this is while we await the old monitor's repair
by ViewSonic.) Both monitors feature a DVI interface.
The problem is this: either when the monitor was hooked up, or after it was
calibrated (we don't recall), on certain solid backgrounds, it has
"scintillations"-- little flashing pixels in random patterns over a small
area. Almost like TV static, but not quite so extensive. The color of the
background on which this will appear is not consistent (not always blue or
black or white or whatever). It's more annoying than anything else, but it
still shouldn't be happening.
Does anyone know enough about color calibration software or video hardware
to say whether this is a hardware or software issue? And if so, what's the
cause?
Paul
