[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 990370, member: 56231"] [size=1]That's a very cleverly done mockup![/size] I'm not aware of much, if anything, you can do in respect of "tweaking" the cathode tube in an iMac, although a quick Google search came up with [url=http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/crtfaq.htm#crtmar]TV and Monitor CRT (Picture Tube) Information[/url] and [url=http://www.fastrepairguide.com/home/crt-monitor-service-manuals/index.php]Fast Repair Guide -Your Online Repair Guide! - Downloads | CRT Monitor Service Manuals[/url]. I guess you could fiddle about with the color settings in SysPrefs. I suspect it's a failing monitor, a G3 iMac is a quite old machine, and you may not be aware of how much it's been used, or if screensavers were utilised. If push came to shove, you could operate an external VGA monitor from the iMac. [/QUOTE]
