Apple 30" Cinema Display Reset to Defaults?
On my 91st day of ownership of an Apple 30" inch cinema display, the color simply vanished during a web browsing session. After rebooting the monitor, dark colors are extremely washed out.

I tried connecting it to 2 other PCs and my MacBook pro but the colors are exactly the same. Tinkering with the two brightness settings only make it worse. Is there a way to reset it to it's factory defaults or do I just have a large, $2,500 brick?

(google searches yielded no fix and my local apple store told me I should have signed up for the extended Applecare package)

Well it should be still under warranty. Contact Apple directly as the store's sometimes aren't much use.

Call Apple tech support and ask for a manager. I'm sure they will fix or replace it

Same problem
Hi there,

I have a similar problem, further to this I can see icon artifacts, they appear to be stuck on the screen. When I plug in a different computer I can see the same icons (from the first Mac).

Is there a way I can reset to shipping conditions?

Has anyone fixed this problem?

Fixed
Hi there, we disconnected power to the screen (30" Apple Cinema HD) for about an hour, it was fine when we plugged it back in.
