This may sound kind of minor, but please bear with me :-).

I recently purchase a IIcx.  Trying to save money on a color monitor,
I purchased a Magnavox Mac-compatible color monitor.  The monitor is
fine (not quite as sharp as the Apple color monitor -- to me anyway)
except that all green colors are mapped to red and vise versa. So far
this hasn't caused any problems but I figer it will be a bother if I
ever get some color applications which use color in some important
way.  After all, I spent enough money to have the system work right.
Any ideas.  It seems that whoever wired the monitor cable (someone at
Phillips I guess) switched to leads.  I don't want to mess around with
the cable (the monitor's on warranty for two years) but I also don't
want to send it back (as I am now fully mac-dependent).  Any ideas?

With your help, the apple will go green yello orange red not red - yellow green
dark green!
Thanks,
