Subject:Acid displays rainbow swirls on new monitor

Hi everyone,

I purchased a brand new Mitsubishi Dimand Plus 200 22" Flat
Screen Monitor. I love it. However, when I solo a track
in Acid and the rest of the tracks turn a darker grey,
indicating that they are not going to play back, the grey
part of the tracks displays a "rainbow-ish" swirl that
eminates from the picture tube itself. The solo'ed track
looks just fine, the tracks surrounding it are the ones
that only have this.

My last 21" monitor did not do this. I am going to assume
this is a "monitor thing" but it really really sucks. What
is Acid doing when you solo a track, I mean what are the
other tracks doing to cause this STRANGE (it's downright
bizarre!) thing........

I really dig the monitor and don't want to return it,
however it drives me nuts since I spend most of my time in
Acid ......

It also does it in SoundForge...it's like the actual color
of grey used is showing through on the tube or...I wish you
guys could see this...I am confused as hell...

Thanks much
Scott
