look at a picture of my monitor, what can do?

That's a pretty tiny picture that you posted. What are we supposed to be looking at here?

Look my monitor, i don´t see my takes , software error ?
Color is designed to be run on two 1920x1080 monitors.
Is that what you have?
x
run IMac 27 2560x1440 !
Looks like a graphics card issue. Either it doesn't have enough RAM, or is unsupported.
Besides, that monitor interface inside Color is completely inaccurate. It's only for reference. Color is designed to work with an IO device and send a signal out to a broadcast monitor or HDTV. If you graded by judging what you saw on that monitor (if it was working) you'd be way off...it'd look very different when you exported a master file.
The IO devices that work with iMacs are AJA and Decklink Thunderbolt models...only if your iMac has Thunderbolt. The only firewire devices are no longer made (and they were crazy expensive)
Thanks !!!
It seems like I have the same problem with you, it never happen before, I use color for more than a year but never experience this, so, please let me know how to set the video playback to normal, thank you!
did you do any software updates? Never a good idea unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive so you can restore your startup drive to it's previous state.
Final Cut Studio (including Color) is no longer being developed and support for anything after Snow Leopard is problematic at best.
As I said...graphics card issue. Your card might be getting old, and damaged. And again, you are not supposed to use that as your reference for the look, as it is completely wrong.
I didn't do any updates at all. First, my macbook pro 2012 (not update to Mavericks yet) was experience to this problem, so I use Imac (2012 highest upgrades) to do the job. But now it was happened to my Imac too. The same problem.
Is this problem is really up to graphics card? because as i said first it was happened to the macbook pro 2012 and then the problem was happened to Imac 2012 as well.
update: I have already test hardware by apple hardware test for both computers and detect nothing at all, so I try using color again in my macbook pro and surprise that it back to normal like nothing happen.
I store projects using Pegasus R6 Promise and run through it via thunderbolt port. Is it the problem of this or not?
