IBM PC - Left edge of display lighter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information::
Displays attached to IBM PC 300 and 700 Series 6577, 6587, 6877 and 6887 may exhibit brighter image along the left edge of the display if the video refresh rate is set above 75Hz.

The problem reported to IBM was that the left edge of the display is brighter than other areas of the screen if the refresh rate is set higher than 75Hz.

This problem may be seen on applications which contain a solid color background such as OS/2 and Windows.

The IBM PC 300 and 700 Series systems were tested to be ISO 9241 Part 3 compliant at a 75Hz refresh rate. Displays which are capable of refresh rates that exceed 75Hz are compatible with the IBM PC 300/700 Series systems and may be used at those higher refresh rates. Adjustments to the screen background color or changing to a refresh rate 75Hz or lower may be used to minimize the impact of any screen distortions on the left edge of the display.
