I have a DECstation-5000/CX. In running the trivial Motif demos like cedit, I
noticed that the colors displayed don't very well match my own perception of
what that colorname represents. Now, I know that color representation is a
very personal thing, but I would still expect the colors on the DECstation to
be more true, if not perfect.
Just to make sure it wasn't me, I tried running cedit on the Tektronix XP27
that I use, and there the colors looked *much* better. Now, I'm not shocked
that Tek did a good job with colors, but I am somewhat displeased with the
quality of the colors on the DECstation.
Is this a problem unique to my box? Has anyone else noticed that the colors on
the DS-5000/CX are rather poor?
Opionions? Comments? DEC?
