Powerbook screen is looking a little yellow.

Question

Powerbook screen is looking a little yellow.

Having recently just bought an older ( titanium ) powerbook as a spare I can clearly see a difference between that and my main one ( see spec )

The older one seems to have a more "white" screen with the newer one definitely having a "yellow" tint

Hopefully this is just something that can be sorted with an adjustment, any ideas ??

Thanks

Tony

Calibrate your displays: Go to System Preferences > Displays > Color tab, click the Calibrate... button, and follow the prompts.

Old displays often can't be calibrated effectively because their fluorescent-tube backlights are uneven or discolored, just like old fluorescent tubes used in other kinds of lighting. If you find that to be the case, you'll just have to live with it: there is no remedy.
