Well, I kind of "solved" the problem... I have two HP 2011x monitors hooked up to my main computer here, and I tried one of them with the LC III and it works just fine. No pink. The reason I didn't try this earlier, even though I should have, is that I assumed if my older LCD didn't work, certainly my newer ones wouldn't.

But that's the thing with technology, huh. You have to try everything.

This still leaves me at a loss though, because I have no idea what's different between my HP monitors and the old LCD I was using: a brand I haven't really heard of, xplio, which could explain the incompatibility whereas more established brands like HP may be more reliable. If there's a particular feature I should be looking out for though, I have no idea what it is.

Obviously the best bet is to use Apple CRT monitors to avoid these kinds of oddities, but LCDs definitely have a space advantage and are easier on the eyes. It would be nice to know if there's something specific to watch out for, or if this is just a game of chance
