green monitor?
 

meh. my monitor is going slightly green :/ is there anything I can do or is it just time for a new one?

time for a new one, unless:

1) make sure your VGA cable is in the whole way
2) It could be your vid card that's defective, try that monitor using another vid card

CRT/LCD? If CRT, game over! Try degausing?

Yeah time for a new one maybe. I had an old monitor that did that, I had to shake it (haha) to make it work properly but it eventually got worse and just stopped working altogether.

hahah ok ok got the message...I'm going to look into getting a new one...its gone slightly pink now..

Quite a while back I purchased a MAG 19" flat screen CRT. I really wanted a Samsung but the Samsung's and Viewsonic's had rebates. I hate Rebates! So I bought the MAG (No Rebate). I bought it at Best Buy and I also purchased a 3yr BB warranty. About 1 year after I bought it I came home from work and turned on my computer, the screen was Blue although I could still see everything. This lasted for about 15 minutes then it went back to normal. The next day or two this continued. Then a few days later I turned it on to find it Green, this lasted for about 20 minutes each time. A week later I came home to find it had turned Redish, Pink and now was lasting for over a half an hour. I call Best Buy Warranty information, they said the monitor was bad and to return it to any Best Buy.
A good outcome: Best Buy no longer carried that Flat Screen MAG so they asked me if I wanted the Viewsonic or the Samsung. I took the Samsung. After all was said and done BB gave me $31.50 back because the prices had gone down since I purchased the monitor and they also gave me Rebate Forms for another $40 from Samsung.
So I got a New Samsung Monitor, $71.50 cash back, and still had the remainder of the 3yr BB warranty.

Paid off in the end for you :)


Not to totally go off topic, but I must say I really like Best Buy's warranties if you actually take advantage of it.

I had that happen to me a long time ago, gradually to an old CRT. Mine was a result of keeping old set of magnetized speakers right next to the monitor. (That's what I thought it was anyway, maybe it was just its time to go :lol: )
