Have had this monitor only a few months- maybe 4 or 5 and never any problems but all of a sudden the screen turned yellowish while I was just reading email. I hadn't done anything -just reading- and then later on the screen turned back to the normal white. went to the resolution and color area of control panel and tried different settings but it didn't make any difference. Could this mean my video card is going out? My previous monitor didn't have the yellow problem it just died of old age. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Ksto, It could be a bad connection somewhere. Try checking: -Where the video cable plugs into the PC. Remove and check for bent pins, corrosion and replace and firmly reconnect using the thumbscrews on the connector. -Where the video cable plugs into the monitor. Some LCD monitors have removable cables some don?t; if yours does follow the same procedure outlined above. -If your video card is not part of your motherboard it could be the video card not being seated properly. Remove it and reinsert the card. -If still nothing I would try entering the monitor configuration menu (using the buttons on the monitor) and reset it to factory settings. -Next step would be connecting your monitor to another PC to see if the problem follows it. If it does I would immediately contact the manufacturer for a warranty replacement making sure you read your list of what you?re already tried. -If the problem doesn?t follow the monitor then that points to your video card. If that?s the case let us know what you?ve found out and we?ll go from there. Good luck and please don?t forget to rate this post.
