Anyways, if you have a monitor like my MSOffice class' you can press some buttons on the front panel to open a settings dialouge and then navigate to the RGB settings and turn green down a bunch. :P

Post by: Alex2539 on February 22, 2007, 01:47:51 am: Then maybe your screen is dying. Is it CRT or LCD? The ones in the computer lab at my high school did the same thing. It was weird. One by one, they would start to go. They would permanently change colour. Mine was pink, I think. There was one that was yellow, a couple green, and one where everything was black or blood red. No one found a way to fix them...

Dust causes that to happen, I forget what it does but it burns it out.
However, if you're willing to take apart your cover of the monitor and get all the dust out, it should fix.
Unless it's damaged something already. I have one that was permanently pink in our garage, and has been there for months. I kick it every time we go by :D
