    What's wrong with pink?

    We are leasing CCTV cameras to a federal facility and these people go through a lot of cameras. I swear we have an RMA warranty repair at least one camera a month. It could be the manufacturing but I have more fun blaming the customer - it makes me happy.

    Anyways, we just got another RMA in for 6 cameras. The problem this time? The video feed is pink. Everything comes in lovely shades of pink on the color monitors and supposedly no amount of color adjusting will change that. Would you believe me if I said the B/W monitors are also showing pink? Didn't think so. So Chief Whatsit complains. Okey dokey, you don't like the pink people - what are you Andoran? So off we send to the factory the reprehensible pink producing cameras.

    That sounds like the monitor screens are dying (CRT screens tend to go pink when they're on the way out).

      Well, that's easy for you to say. Your screen is coming up blonde.

        Depends on how they're dying.

        (I've swapped out more monitors in the last two years than I did in the preceding eight. Damn, 27" monitors are heavy when you're putting them into a huge wooden box.)

            I agree. My coworker makes fun of me because I have a lot of pink stuff--pink phone, pink DS, pink notepad, etc.

              Well it isn't the monitors because they are using 51" monitors with 6 cameras feeding in at all times. Some of the cameras are feeding in pink and others normally.

              I see pink people! EEEEE!

              Anybody want a 51" Hitachi Projection monitor? The feds decided that it was to thick for where they wanted to put it so we are stuck w/ the return. $900. Great for your PS3s or Wiis.

                Maybe they placed their cabling near another cable that's generating interference?

                  Mine's been teetering on dying for the last 2 years, every few weeks or so, it goes pink for a few minutes, then goes back to normal, I just keep my fingers crossed and wonder when "The big pink out" is coming......
