[QUOTE="PittPanthersFan, post: 990310, member: 77178"] Hey guys, I bought a used iMac G3 last week and everything is in working order, save for one thing. The right side of the display has a sort of faint yellow tint to it. The tint goes away on the right side of any window, menu, picture, text when in the area. It was doing this with OS 9.1 when I got it. I've since upgraded to Tiger (with proper firmware), and the problem persists. I don't think it's a magnetic issue, since it happens regardless of where the iMac is in the room. I've also played with the display options. It's still very much usable, just slightly annoying. A screenshot wouldn't show the tint, and my camera had it kind of blurry, so here's a crude mockup of what I'm experiencing: [IMG]http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu296/pittpanthersfan/iMacCRT.jpg[/IMG] I don't know if I should toggle or tweak one of the ray guns inside, or what...
