Actually Xerion, that was one of the first things that occurred to me when I started thinking about it... Unfortunately I have had computer problems which I've had to fix so I hadn't had time to play with it.
First I tried taking pictures of the screens... And that is... So difficult! How did you get such good pictures Tril!?
So anyway I did get some pictures in the end but well, they weren't very useful. I had so much difficulty holding the camera wedged between the glasses, and then trying to align it to the lenses, getting it at the right angle, the right distance forward or backward, and the right height... The end pictures both had a lot of distortion and were blurring so it was difficult to say what was going on. But I was fairly sure that the problem was still there on the right screen.
But then I moved onto the next test, which was to put the head set on, and then apply a small amount of pressure on the left or right side so the glasses were held on a different angle. It was only a small distance but I would have expected it to effect the color differences (it effected screen distortion and angle a lot), but it looked like it had the same problem that I had noticed when I had them straight.
Not deterred, I held the glasses forward, so now it was only held in place by my hand. Now I could move the glasses as far as I liked left or right, and to my surprise; If I move the glasses to the left a long way (right before the screens are no longer in front of my eyes), the screens are suddenly clearer than I have ever seen them, and all the distortion and color problems are gone!
So it turns out it does seem to be optics and not the screens themselves as I had originally suggested... Although I don't really feel that leaves me in a better position. Optics are fairly precisely made parts, because they are so crucial. I can't imagine optic defects where the optical shape is so off-center that I have to look at it from WAY off center. I mean where I was holding them was with the right metal bar which normally holds the glasses on the nose, right in the center of my nose!
And I don't have eye-problems, my eyes are both more or less the same distance apart, my nose is straight and in the center of both my eyes!
So I don't know what to do... I don't particularly want to send them back (which is expensive, time consuming, etc) just to be told they are normal. But I can't see how they could be normal when I think my critical viewing physiology is all fairly normal.
There has to be a problem somewhere?
