Color Problem
I'm currently using an iMac, and for some reason my colors seemed to stop displaying correctly a while ago. It happened out of the blue, I only noticed while it was booting up one day, and the screen appeared to be green, when it is normally blue. Since then, I can't see extremely dark, or extremely light colors. Most things convert to either black, or a pale off-yellow. Most greens and blues are a strange neon-dark green color. And most reds are extremely bright.

I have tried going into the Displays preferences, and trying to get the colors more accurate, but nothing seems to work. Someone had told me that it might be because of the screen of the mac is right infront of the computer (the monitor to the tower perse) that overrunning it, may have caused the screen to heat up and kill it somehow, or it might have gotten demagnetized perhaps. I'm not exactly sure how or why this started, but I would like to hear your opinions or thoughts if there is any way to fix this. Thank you for your time.

Sounds like your display is on it's last legs (about to burn out). Do you have the older iMacs or the newer white ones?

Yeah, pretty sure your tube is going. Need to replace or fix it.

Hm, I took a look around for them, but I'm not having much luck.. What is the tube called? Do you know how much it would cost to have it fixed or replaced?
