T35 Display Colours - fyi some appear not correct

Hi - doing some work today on the T35 display. Found a few small colour assignment glitches fyi.
No big deal but again, good to verify and add to the fix list if repeatable.
Thanks, Mark.

I am worried that you have problem in hardware rather than a software bug. We will check this but can you load some full colored image on the screen to see if it looks right please?

Maybe a color wheel? http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/440539/440539,1270851258,6/stock-vector-color-wheel-50595403.jpg

good catch Gus. See attached. How should I get the display replaced?
Thanks!
Mark.

Please email me your order number and I will help you…
