Title Why do colours appear incorrectly on my flatpanel display?
Ref. No. QNX.000000705
Category(ies) Video
Issue We have a Photon application developed on a system with a PCI Matrox Millenium that is targeted for a system with a PC104 based C&T 65545 and color active matrix flat panel.  The application must use a color palette
specifically designed for it.  When we launch the application on the target hardware, the colors are not appearing as designed (e.g. light pink/light yellow display as white etc.)

We assume this is occuring because the target hardware cannot support good colour matches for some of the colours in the palette.  Is this correct?  If so, is there a way to correct the problem?






Solution The flat panel is not able to display those colours.  You are also using dithering.  Do not use dithering, and edit your palette to suit the target screen.
