I know there are a couple 23" threads running, but I had a specific question. I want to buy one with my BTO MacPro at the online Apple Store this week.

Has anyone bought one recently -- say, within the past month or so -- and have you had the "pink tinge" problem or not. You know, the overall pickture looks pink. I went to the Apple store and compared the 23" side by side to the 30". The 23" models on display still looked pink to me(noticeable when comparing the brushed metal on windows or looking at black & white photos). Are they displaying old stock possibly?

Saw the same result at Best Buy and Frys.

Any recent buyers -- what's your luck been and where did you buy it?

thanks
 
In my experience the default color profile does make grays look pink, but once it's calibrated its very nice. I got mine back in August and the colors seem very good to me.

I just bought a new 23" on Saturday - no pink.

My old 23" has a noticeable pink tint which is very noticeable near the edges...

How are you calibrating yours? I'd love to borrow your profile.
