GREEN in my OLED EVF

[CJ Brion]

Hoping someone can shed a little light on this..My OLED EVF displays chips correctly on startup, but the viewfinder becomes green once menus are loaded. I've had this issue before, and a cable swap or power cycle would typically fix the problem. Other displays plugged into the same port work fine.

**Fixed by the wonderful RMA team at RED.

Not the same issue (and not wishing to hijack the thread but it may be related), but the colours on my EVF don't remotely match anything else (external TV Logic or Sonly OLED monitors, or a swap to the LCD). It always appears very warm - is this standard for the EVF? Thanks.

Same here, although from what I understand that's just how the EVF displays. Looked normal a couple builds ago, but it changed when I updated to the most recent firmware. Very warm and super contrasty. I believe there is a thread that addresses the issue, but I'm having trouble locating it.

Have a look at the luma curve test signal. Notice the black band on the left, where there should be shadow detail.

My LCD stopped working the other day so now I've finally had to start using my OLED EVF after it mostly sitting in the camera box for the last year. It's also very warm and contrasty with horrible reproduction of the shadow areas. Makes it impossible to judge fill light. There is severe banding in the shadows that jump from black to magenta to something just below middle gray, in an area where I see a smooth dark gradient on my SmallHD monitor. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth sending it back to Red for a repair. Clearly many others have this issue too, but are some of the OLED EVFs actually much better?

Well, the one on a display camera at the Red Store Hollywood looks just like yours.
Set up on a pro IO with an LCD also on.
The problems are obvious.

My OLED EVF displays chips correctly on startup, but then the viewfinder turns green once menus ect are loaded. I've had this issue before and a cable swap or power cycle would usually fix the problem but now I'm stuck with a jolly green ghost in my eyepiece. Other displays plugged into the same port work fine.

Also tried plugging into Pro I/O, same GREEN result plus flicker.
