Ok - I see all of those effects you describe.
RE: the two orange panes - how do they differ colour-component-wise
(RGB)?
The darker, upper panel shows the light/dark lines that we all complain about on every other pixel PLUS the moving wavy lines.
The lighter, lower panel is quite odd. It shows a wider horizontal banding pattern. From counting the pixels it looks like one line of dark, three lines of light - repeating. From zooming in using universal acces, I see that it too is a solid colour, so this effect is also interference pattern.
I also see that the wavy inteference pattern seems to swap to the lower orange panel if you select anything other than "Color LCD" or "Generic RGB Profile" in displays pref.
However, moving the window to the right side of the screen, both interference effects are minimised - both oranges now show just the alternate pixel lines of light and dark.
On a related note, using the inversion test patterns from earlier in the thread (
http://techmind.org/lcd/), the interference flickering was also most prevalent in the top left of the screen.

Hmmm upon closer examination of the screen very close up, there actually appears to be a mottled unmoving abstract pattern of light and darker tones - most noticeable in the oranges you have, but also in every other solid colour - do others see this? is this normal for an LCD?
