Yes! I noticed the IBM logo has red pixels on the right edge of the
blue.

I tried this. On the screens with the 3 palettes, on the rightmost 3rd
palette are 3 red vertical lines spaced evenly through the palette. On
the RGB palette, there are bright red vertical lines thru the red and
white palettes. The ThinkPad passes the test though, it's apparently an
undetectable display problem.
Unfortunately, no warranty. It was an Ebay special.
Thanks for the help.
Shawn
