LCD Monitor Color Grey to Brown Problem
polycounter lvl 15
So in the last two days some how my LCD monitor seemed to switch out my grey colors for brown. I can seem to figure out why this happened, how to fix it and why is it just grey.
At first I thought it was just a problem with photoshop looking werid when I imported an AO bake. Then I realized after trying things like RGB, CMYK, Greyscale that it wasnt Photoshop but my monitor itself. I was moving a greyscale image across my screens and when it was imbetween them it was clear the LCD one was turning grey brown.
I did a quick test to show how the colors are getting wacked and that regular colors seem to be fine. It just seems to be the color grey that is bugging out.
I tried reseting my monitor and changing colors around but that didnt work, plus all other colors seem to look fine except grey. Its not even a slight change in color, it is very drastic.
If anyone has ever had this problem or knows what might be causing it I would really appreciate it. Here is the pic

Anyway to futher add to the odditys to this problems I did a few more tests and it seems that it only adds the odd brown color to my greys in photoshop and windows viewer when on that monitor.
If I move photoshop to my second monitor greys look fine, if I move it to the first its brown. But things on Firefox, 3DS Max, and other applications on the first window show up grey fine. Even my wallpaper shows up the proper color of grey. Some how whenever I have photoshop or windows viewer open it turns things brown only in photoshop and windows viewer. The items are not actually brown because if I save them out or move them to the second monitor they look fine.
Very odd problem, will try uninstalling CS3 later today but somehow I dont think that is the problem if it is effecting Windows Viewer too.
In that picture the windows picture viewer is in between my two monitors. The brown colored part is on my main monitor and the grey part is on the other monitor. Fire fox is also being split across two monitors. It aslo appears that the colors on the application itself of picture viewer is fine but the image being shown is distorted.
