23" ACD with pink in upper right quarter of screen, live with it?

I've got a week 28 ACD that arrived as a portion of my not-yet-shipping Mac Pro order. From what I understand this is the new spec version (it certainly is very bright with vivid colors).
I've been using it for about a week and can't shake the notion that towards the upper right quarter of the screen the color is slightly more pink/magenta than the rest of the display. Frankly, this is only noticeable in gray tones—reds, greens, and blues look fantastic no matter what. Unfortunately there is lots of gray in OS X and in general the work I do tends to include gray from time to time of course!
I've used both the Apple Display Calibrator and SuperCal. The Apple one helped alleviate the very pink cast the entire screen had with the default color profile, but I found that SuperCal produced much better results giving me neutral grays across the entire screen... almost. The pink quarter (and I swear almost the whole upper half, but that might be my imagination?!??) of the screen remains EVER SO SLIGHTLY different looking.
I also have backlight bleeding that I'm prepared to live with as it's barely noticeable most of the time. I don't have any image persistence, dead pixels, etc. Is it worth either the long drive to the Apple Store or the high cost of shipping it back for a replacement? Should I not demand perfection? The problem is risking getting a WORSE replacement at a troublesome expenditure of time and money to me.
I also want to hear if anyone has the same barely-noticeable-pink-in-only-a-portion-of-the-screen issue.
PowerBook G4 15"/800MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   23" Cinema HD Display

Sure I have it too ... When I bough my first 23 it was pinkish overall and I finally messed about with the calibrating long enough to accept the result and live with it ... I just bought my second one and now have a pink to green gradient ... can't get rid of it ... Reading the forum I also seem to have backlight leakage and the translucency problem ... Haven't noticed a dead pixel yet ... if that one happens ... there will be a dead salesman at the store ... It's a pitty ... loyalty to Apple only goes a certain way ... thinking of buying Sony LCD's instead ... but then I read they are the same ... Maybe I just have to live with it ... and dream about the paradise holiday I will make with the profits of my edit on these not perfect displays ...

    Not only this but I can't drag from Itunes and place anywhere on my desktop or onto an external drive. Apple, why are you screwing around with basic functions!? I'm a dj and I need to be able to manage my music files without you ruining my life! FIX THIS!

  • Pad - LOCK icon in Upper Right Corner of Screen - How did it get there??

    When I start my Mac (G5-10.4.11) for the first time I have an icon of a pad-lock in the upper right hand corner of my screen and appears in the 'closed or locked' position. I don't know how it got there. I think it has something to do with 'Keychain' but not sure. When I open Entourage (2008) to check my email for the first time following a boot sequence, Entourage asks me for a keychain password and after entering the password, the pad-lock icon in the upper right corner now indicates an 'open' or unlocked condition. I don't have to do this again as long as my computer stays on. I've tried changing the access setting in Keychain to 'ignore' Entourage and Keychain but it still asks me for a keychain password following a re-boot. What did I do to get the pad-lock icon there in the first place? And, how can I turn OFF that 'pad-lock' and not appear on my startup screen? I have another hard drive in my computer that I boot from occasionally and the "pad-lock' icon does not appear on my startup screen and I can check Entourage without entering any keychain password. I really don't need password protection on my home computer, it's very annoying every time I check my Entourage email.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Check "Keep login keychain unlocked" in the "First Aid" tab of Keychain Access (Utilities folder).
    In the "General" tab, uncheck "Show Status in Menu Bar".

  • IPhone 5 upper right corner of screen is popping out

    So I have had this iPhone 5 for over a year, all my warrantees have expired. I have taken very good care of this phone. It has always been in a case. I recently noticed that the upper right corner of the screen is raised up a bit higher than the rest of the screen. I began to investigate it a little bit more and saw that when I pressed down on the raised portion of the screen, it does in fact go down to its ideal position. At first I sucked it up and moved on because it wasn't presenting a problem for me, but now it seems to be getting worse. I will being using my phone and when I use the upper right portion of my screen I can hear clicking as the screen seems to be popping in and out. I am worried that this will continue to escalade and eventually become very problematic. Is there a way I can get this fixed or replaced for free? This seems to be a problem with the phone's design rather than something I have done to it. I have heard of several cases of people experiencing similar problems.

  • I cannot access the internet using firefox. The little toolbar identical (the far upper right in the screen) pops up and nothing else happerns. This has only started very recently and I have not had this problem in the past.

    When I click on the icon for firefox, a little toolbar (the one you see in the top right corner of the screen) pops up and nothing else happens. I'll close it out and retry, with only the same results. I tried Firefox safemode, with the same result. Like there is something blocking me, but I don't know what. It doesn't matter if I've been on the computer for some time or just started up, I cannot access the web thru Firefox. This has only started in the last couple days. Previously, I've never had this problem. I haven't loaded any new programs anytime recently to account for this. I use Norton for my anti virus program which is the newest and had since end of December. I am not happy having to use the windows internet explorer, so would be very happy to get this resolved. Should I uninstall the mozilla program, and then reinstall it?

    "I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
    Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
    "The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
    Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
    Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
    Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

  • Menu Bar Application Icons Frozen Upper Right Side of Screen

    After installing Snow, the right side of the menu bar is frozen. If I move the mouse to the right side, I get the spinning wheel of death. I can use my computer but I cannot use any program or option associated with an icon to the right side of the menu bar. Is there a bug? Thanks

    Well, I didn't realise I had that problem until you pointed it out! And when trying to send a mailshot I found my address book was blank.
    I used the solution someone posted on the thread linked to above...
    Deleted USER>Library>Application Support>SyncServices folder (when I say 'deleted' I mean moved to the desktop until I was sure I wasn't breaking anything!).
    I then deleted USER>Library>Application Support>AddressBook
    Rebooted. Then went to System Preferences and turned on Mobile Me syncing (the pane now opens fine). This was seen as a first sync and I chose to bring all Mobile Me contacts (and everything else) back onto my machine.
    Seems to be working all OK now.
    Let's hope that's my last Leopard problem.... (speaking of which, I also lost all my custom Mail Stationery - not for incompatibility reasons it seems as I was able to bring them all forward in Time Machine).
    I then rebooted - opened up System Preferences and turned on (for the first time as far

  • What are the buttons in the upper right of the screen for? (when horizontal and while there is an email open)

    Please help me with this question.. While viewing an email I pressed on of those buttons by accident and the email I was viewing seems to have moved into some folder but I don't know which and I can't find it when I search both for the email and the sender. This email was really important, if someone could help me or direct me to someone who can, please let me know.

    One that looks like a folder is for transferring the email to an another mailbox and you must select the mailbox you want the email transferred to.
    One that looks like a trash can is for deleting the email. Selecting this moves the email to the account's Trash mailbox.
    One that looks like an arrow is for replying to, forwarding, or printing the email.
    The last one is for starting a new email.

  • How do I get rid of the advertisement box in the upper right of my screen?

    I am tired of seeing the ridiculous '50 year old woman looks 20' stupid ad. Some of the others are just as bad.
    At the very least, I would like to move this to the bottom of my screen and the weather to the top.

  • Something happened this last week. When I am accessing some sites, I cannot click on some of their sections. I could do this before. Also, when I am in the sites, I cannot logoff ---- I must hit the x in the upper right of my screen to disconnect.

    If I use google, I can get these functions to work.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Download list button in upper right corner hinds under "Reader" button? Unable to find down loaded file in the download folder afterward?

    The Download list button in upper right corner of screen hides under "Reader" button?   Does not show down loaded(?) file in the download folder afterward?
    Trying to run a brokerage firm streaming quote app with java.  Wondering if I may have deactivated the Download list button some how?

    Hey Sgt.Rics,
    It sounds like you're experiencing some unexpected behavior in Safari, specifically the window layout blocking the Downloads button. I would check and make sure no third-party add-ons are causing the issue:

  • Purple color in upper right corner on HMC150 camera

    I could not find the solution or answer what wrong with my camera Panasonic HMC150 camera that has purple color on upper right corner on screen. Hope this community be able to answer. Thanks

    Have you done a software restart on the camera?
    If you panned the camera around, the purple area stayed consistently in that area?
    Are you using a filter, matte box, or lens hood on the camera? Is there a microphone mounted on the camera that might possible protruded far enough to be slightly in the frame? If you remove them/it does the problem persist?
    Have you tried manually setting the white balance to see if there is any change?
    If you were to vary (in this case, lower) the amount of light on the cyc wall, does the problem persist?
    Does the purple area stay consistent if you vary the iris?

  • How do I keep iMessage from going to the upper right and out of sight?

    Imessage in Mavericks at random, on sleep, and when minimized,  goes to upper right on the screen and I cant get it back. Even Mission control can not access it.  I have close iMessage and restart. How do I keep it from going to the upper right and out of sight?

    Hi,
    I think a  Screen Shot will help.
    Use the CMD+shift+4 and then decribe around the area when you see the cross hairs.
    To Post here use the Camera icon in the reply screen and then select/navigate to the Screen Shot (normally on your Desktop) and select it.
    Then use the Insert Image button.
    I don't use Sleep so I can't speak to that.
    Minimise should put it in the DOCK.
    Do you mean coming out of Minimise ?
    Actually where is your DOCK  (mine is at the bottom and I nearly forgot other people have it in different places)
    If it is on the right is the Finder icon top of the icons ?
    If the windows of an App are minimised then it does not appear in Mission Control (some of this is mixed with normal behaviour).

    The software switch is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe to the right in the bottom of the screen. The speaker icon on the left would be where the software switch would be.
    If you don't see a lock icon in the upper right corner, the screen isn't locked, reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
