Wow, you're right! Monoprice has a MDP -> VGA cable for just $5.80. Ordered!

I didn't know there were any! I found a manual "options" button which enabled a config menu, and allowed me to adjust the display to be more neutral. Unfortunately, the options to control individual R-G-B color balance are dimmed out, but overall it looks much better than it did before! >>>>> >>>>> -Carl >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>> On Jun 24, 2020, at 9:18 PM, Macs R We <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> My LG 32 has a reasonable set of color balancing options in the display's own menu (manual buttons).

I'm trying to alter the color balance of my LG 42" (which is overly blue) and any attempt to do so turns it a hideous orange. I resorted to using f.lux since I don't have the Night Shift options, but the net effect is awful. I thought somehow Night Shift might do a better job at it, but apparently not! >>>>>>> >>>>>>> -Carl >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> On Jun 24, 2020, at 8:57 PM, Macs R We <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Yes, sorry… I never use either, and I mixed up the terms. >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Curiously, when I typed “night” in System Preferences (Mac Mini, current Mojave), it did NOT highlight Display — only Keyboard (for Illuminate) and Parental Controls (for Time Limits). However, my Displays does indeed have a Night Shift tab, which “works” on my LG 32” (it turns the display a hideous orange). >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> On Jun 24, 2020, at 7:30 PM, Andy Lee <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> [This is a resend.

This took me to the Display prefs, which included a "Night Shift" tab.
