I've noticed since last night, my new W3000H 30" seems to have a green tint/tone on the screen. Now that I think about it, when I restarted my pc a yesturday, I noticed the screen kind of flickered, and the screen looked slightly greener. I tried fixing this, no anvil. I suppose this isn't a common problem. Are there other things that I can try?
 
Completely seperate topics, think thats pretty acceptable by any standards.
Double posting is a bit lame, but having everything stuffed into one thread just results in these 80 page monstrosities that are impossible to find any useful information in, imho.

Noob monitor person here - but I've heard similiar problems w/ppl that have sync on green monitors
 
lobski can you take some sample pics to show us??? When your monitor warms up after 30 minutes does the green get more intense??
 
I read dozens of threads dealing with the 30" panels and every review I could find. I never read about a green tint before.

My 3007 HC didn't have one. Though green itself was too vivid.
 
Well I have a new problem. I bought the Spyder3 calibrator, and after calibrating, the screen looks too red. Almost like a red tone is taking over the screen this time.

You may have got a bum calibration, try it again, but frankly how do you know it is wrong? It's different, that's the point of calibrating.

When calibrating CRTs, they calibrate to 6500K for photo work, not the 9300K most computer users are used to seeing. It's going to look warmer than when you started. When calibrating LCDs, you must follow specific instructions for calibrating to "native" colour temperature or you can get weird things happening. You did read and follow the instructions, right?

You second photo of your desktop ends up showing 6500K greys that look OK but not quite right (on my calibrated Sony GDM-F520 CRT).
