Color of the Screen getting 'dull-Green'

[Violet]

Hi:
The screen, both desktop and all other screen getting 'dull-green,' although
letter/words is very clear which enable to read and type.

Prior to this occurred, the screen is 'crisp blue.'
I did not change anything for this to occur. Then, it's quite puzzling me.

My question is :
How to get the screen back to the original color, ... 'crisp blue screen?'

Thanks for your help in advance.

Bad video card? Bad monitor?

What type of monitor do you have> CRT? LCD?

If it is a CRT monitor, it's likely its own controls (use the buttons on
the monitor) won't sufficiently bias the color to get rid of the color
tinge. It's old and needs to be replaced. Computer makers have gone to
LCD so find another CRT will be tough and perhaps expensive (since those
having them will probably charge for their storage since the makers stop
producing CRT monitors awhile back).

Did you use the software installed with the video card to ensure that
its settings were reset to the defaults? Did you yet play with the
controls on the monitor? And are we to GUESS at which monitor you have?

Yes you did or someone with access to the machine did.

Change the theme back to blue. Right click on the desktop/Properties/etc.

With my older Philips LCD monitor, something in the video
cable has loosened. If I move the PC, the screen image goes
kinda "dull-green-ish". I found that if I reach down behind the
PC and "move" the bottom end of the cable, right about
where the lower balun (sp??) is, the screen becomes bright
and crisp again, and will stay that way till I again move
something. Yeah, I will get around to replacing the
cable, but right now it's looking good.

This sounds like a CRT monitor, rather than an LCD.

I've noticed a green discoloration, if selecting "sync-on-green" mode
for a CRT, but that would not be something normal to happen in Windows.
Normally, the CRT uses RGBHV (five signals), while sync-on-green is
a mode where the monitor uses RGB and sync travels along "G".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sync_on_green

On a CRT, a "gun failure", one of the three guns, can cause screen
discoloration. (That is a defect within the CRT monitor.) A bad monitor
video cable, might also affect the colors. To get green, we might
need both the blue and red to partially fail, and that seems
unlikely.

The "crisp blue" is a function of the "color temperature" setting
of the monitor. My old CRT monitor had three color temperatures,
with 9500 K being the highest setting. You'll notice in this
description, that "greenish" is not a side effect of the color
temperature setting. It ranges between "blueish" and "reddish".
To get greenish, it would be sync-on-green mode, or a CRT
problem internally.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

"Higher color temperatures (5,000 K or more) are called cool
colors (blueish white); lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K)
are called warm colors (yellowish white through red)."

If it is a CRT, other clues might be whether the problem changes
from when the CRT is turned on "cold". If the screen is greenish,
and in a constant sort of way, no matter how long the CRT is turned
on, then it might not be a hardware failure as such. Some CRT color
problems, change as the CRT warms up.

Just a guess,
Paul

Hi Violet,
1.) magnets close to monitor could damage the screen starting with color
defect. Incase if you have any large speakers close to it...avoid please.

2.) Try adjusting the color settings through the buttons on the
monitor..also exercise the "degasus ( magnet in a horse-shoe shape symbol)"
in the monitor menu.

3.) If nothing works...try your monitor on a different computer.
If it works properly on a different pc...your card might be the
problem; If it doesn't work on a different pc also....your monitor might need
some attention.
