Hey.
I noticed that my iMac G4 has a small issue displaying the color black. This only happens when the color is actually pure black, with no detail.
When displaying black, I can see individual pixels, in random areas of the black sparkle or twinkle, or light up with different colors.
It happens with the system cold, it happens with the system warm, etc.
It doesnt do this with any other color, or color combo displayed. If the black has any fine detail, it doesnt do it either.
It's really hard to describe but its like a few pixels in a row will light up or sparkle on the black, and then be normal again, randomly and all over.
My guesses would be some sort of damaged video card, or connection. The iMac has a nvidia 5200fx that I believe is built directly into the logic board.
The problem is so small that I can live with it, I am just concerned if this is an early sign of the iMac's death.
Any tips? Info? Anyone heard about or fixed this? Thanks!
