Hi.
Since I upgraded to Lion, whenever I boot my mac (macbook white late 2009) and connect it to my second screen (an old Samsung model) all the colors are usually (not all times) distorted and you can't use applications such as the terminal (also distorted in the print-screens so I assume its not from the cable). If i connect to other screen with the same model the problem remains (more on this below).
More strange than this, if I use full-screen on any application, the colors go back to normal, but the screen is dark and that I cant see things with grey text on it for example, problem that only affects non apple applications... finder and such appear dark for a moment, blink, and then they function perfectly.
Even more strange, if I connect my mac to any other model of screen the problem goes away completely, and then I can go back to my screen and work normally...
Meanwhile, a colleague of mine as a macbook air and a recent Samsung model and he has the contrast problem but not the color one, so I don't know if I should blame the combination Lion/Samsung.
Does anyone have ever seen something similar? I'm i cursed (I usually attract this kind of problems
)?
