Well I got it sent back today. Only problem is that now they do not have any red K-r's left to do an exchange. :(

Thank you all. I am trying to send the camera back now. Bummer is they are now out of the red so I can't get a replacement. :(

I wanted to add some photos of what I am talking about, hopefully that will help. I just took these with my P&S, all of them are really accurate and true to color and everything.

Picture in playback mode. The floor should be brown and the beanbags & table black
These are some of the pic settings, you can also see the haze around the edge of the screen on these.

Hi all. This is my first post here. I am new to Pentax and DSLRs in general, this is my first one. I am sorry my post got so long but I couldn't think of any other way to explain it.
I just got my K-r and have been experimenting with pics in auto mode for now. I am having an issue though and I've gone through the entire operating manual and can't find anything on this.
In live mode, playback mode, and video mode (anything using the screen) the colors seem completely off for me. For instance, black will be a neonish blue at times (almost like when you do a negative image), and some other colors are way off on the display as well. This even happens when I'm switching picture modes, the example pictures for things like portrait, macro, etc. are way off. I found this odd, especially since the images on the computer come out fine from my memory card, they look normal and the colors are accurate and everything is fine.
After trying everything I could think of and reading the manual, I began searching K-r reviews. In some of these reviews, I noticed pictures of the displays on their K-rs and mine don't look anything like this in the menus. For instance, like in these pictures:

If you go down to the one with the info screen, just to make it easy, my info screen looks completely different. It has all the icons, but there are no blue boxes around them at all. They are black. In fact most of the screen is black except the icons. I also have a white rim around the outside of the screen that almost fades as it goes from the edges. Also my four way controller, inside the little "arrows" on the screen, it is not blue, it is black.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or did I get a bad screen? I have tried everything I can think of. Otherwise I am happy with this camera's performance but with how difficult it makes trying to see things in playback (trying to see if I caught a smile or my child's eye's open, etc., which I cannot tell with this issue), this may be a deal breaker for me.
Thank you in advance for any help, and I am sorry this is so long!
(I just added pics in another post, waiting for mod approval!)
