The disease is rampant again! But it's interesting for anyone who knows a bit about color-mixing: There's a color-circle, which shows the RGB color-spectrum. I think the intensity of each "beam" [thinking of a 3 beam CRT] goes from zero in the center to maximum at the perimeter. Now, with the bad condition again: the inner 40% of the circle is white, which is wrong. Also the 3 <mix colors> between the RBG primary colors have bigger areas. My interpretation is that all 3 of R,B,G are leaking: where R,B,G mix they produce white; where any 2 adjacent mix [due to 'leaking'] they produce the <extra large mixing area> decribed above. This problem could be simulated on a 3-beam CRT display, if eg. the beams where too-wide, and eg. the Red beam overflowed to adjacent Green & Blue pixels. But I don't see how such an explanation can apply to a HDMI LED display, which doesn't work like a batsman trying to hit a flying ball. AFAIK the HDMI is digital and not analogue. WDYS? But no, I'm wrong. Apart from the colour-circle, there's a pie-segment which is coloured from dark at the point, [corresponding to the circle-middle] to white at the perimeter. If the circle's intensity decreased towards the middle. and reached zero; that would correspond to black. As the Pie-sector suggests. All programs that write in black are OK, but those that use grey are near invisisble.
