Monitor stuck Showing Inverted/Negative properties

12/17/2009 09:40:41 AM · #1

My monitor's stuck showing Inverted/Negative properties. Anyone know how to set it back to normal. It's an Apple Display but I assume the same fix for a PC might be applicable.

Thanks in advance - Steve

Or do the opposite of this (I trust just doing it again sets it back):
press....control, alt, apple, 8 yeah, not many people know about this, so do it in the apple store...watch the sales people panic heh

Yeah...I did that a few times. I'm looking for default settings but can't find any.

The control alt apple 8 didn't do it?

Might be a glitch in the matrix which requires more serious attention.

well, I hit control, apple, 8 and Time Machine started to open up. Then I hit control, alt, apple, 8 and nothing happened. I use a PC keyboard because I can't stand the feel of the mac version however, plugged it in the follow your instructions.

Time Machine seems useless, as well. I opened it...chose a time BUT the restore button isn't working. Never understood that program and it always kicks in right when I'm editing, locking up my system which nearly ruined my life a few times trying to get out some rush jobs. For that reason alone...it blows.

Hopefully an Apple person will chime in. I only drool over the really big monitors with the really sharp pictures and bright colors in the stores. Have never owned one, though.
