[QUOTE="macsrule, post: 73237"] Hi all. so many macs so little time. First off, hello to all and i would like to say hi and thanks for answering my help and i hope i can be of help to others in the future. System: G4/450 AGP with a ATI 9000 Pro Mac, OS 10.3, VGA montior with DVI adapter. My video appears to be washed out. theres color, but the contrast is off. I tried the following: 1. to adjust the monitors brightness/contrast, but no luck. Some change, but not enough. 2. Ive also tried to calibrate the monitor useing the System Prefreences/Displays/Calibrate controls but the oval in the "display adjustment" screen is not visible. 3. returned the ATI video card to mfg for test/repair. same issues. I know the monitor is good since i also have a PC :eek: Im thinking its the PS. any other tests/checks i can do? Im not looking foward to buy another PS since they are about half the price of a used G4. any help or tests that i can do/perform would be of help. thanks [/QUOTE]
