July 23, 200322 yr Okay, I think I've seen everything..As I write this, it is 1728 local time in SC. This morning, at 0630, when I shut the computer down, everything was working perfectly normal.Tonight, I get home and turn it on and there is a translucent, yellow hue on the monitor. Like the glass has been tinted. I've played with the BRG monitor settings but it doesn't have any effect. Bright and Contrast has the usual impact but it's still a translucent yellow. I've tried the factory resets ...no effect.It's a Diamondtron VX1120, 21" about eighteen months old. Water is a flat green and snow is yellow. The Text when Windows XP starts is also yellow. I'll try a screenshot but I'm not sure how it will turn out
July 23, 200322 yr May be a monitor going bad, I'm afraid. Reason being, your screenshot looks fine. The screenshot isn't going to capture variations in the monitor hue--only in the desktop hue, which is controlled by some of the more common vid cards advanced driver settings. On second examination, it does look slightly yellow...did you take the shot as a printscreen, or with a digicam? If it's a screenprint, then perhaps your driver gamma settings got changed somehow. I had a monitor that would jump to a pinkish hue whenever it got warmed up--went through that for several months, until I had it replaced.If you have an Nvidia or ATI card, you can probably use the driver advanced properties to tweak the gamma on the Blue channel to offset the hue a bit... But it looks to me like the monitor may be going, and they do go, just like that... -John
July 24, 200322 yr How about degaussing it. Or whatever that's called. You should have an option on the monitor menu. It's a long shot?
