I'm on a new 20" al-iMac.
1) I noticed under Windows, that there is like an interference pattern scrolling diagonally on some backgrounds and patterns, most notably mid blues and greys. It's very noticable, and doesn't seem to happen in OS X.
Interestingly, in Everquest (the only reason for me committing the sacrilege of running Windows on a Mac) if I adjust between various gamma levels I get one of the following: the scrolling diagonal interference, or glaringly bad horizontal "pinstripes", or a reduced effect, or a perfect screen. The perfection only comes at a couple of gamma settings, I think it was something like 17% and 35%. (too dark and too bright, respectively!)
Anyone else get this? Is it a fault with my iMac, or does my screen perhaps need calibrating (which was needed on the OS X side to reduce the washed-out effect and heavy top-bottom fading on this iMac model)
Note I haven't seen this issue whilst booted into OS X yet. Whether my screen/calibration settings there are masking a fault is another matter.
2) It needs calibrating anyway, it's *ridiculously* bright in Windows. I have to turn the brightness down to half just to avoid a headache. Is there an equivalent of SuperCal for Windows, or is it possible to use the ICC profile that SuperCal created on the Mac side whilst booted in Windows?
TIA
