what;s to like about CCFL, zero
buy 2010 and newer monitor with LED back lamps.

CRT monitors have three color "guns" in them - Red, Blue, & Green. If one of them is starting to go south you will have a tinge as you describe. To make sure it's the monitor, try connecting a different monitor. If the monitor is the problem, it's not worth fixing. Replace it.
If, after changing the monitor you still have a color tinge, you have a problem with your video device in your PC and you need to have it checked out by a PC Technician.

Hello Sales, hi, try to reconnect the VGA cable from the PC, and wiggle it a little and see if the green tinge thing disappears on screen, if it does there are loose contacts, you can also try to replace you VGA cable, see if it solve the color problem.

check the led back light of your monitor. I you cant do-it-yourself better to go to service center

It sounds like you're going to need a new VGA/DVI cable. (from PC to monitor)
I suggest you try another one, then post back here if it doesn't fix the problem.

I hope this helps,
Yannick.

try to check ur Picture tube 

now that is one wild post.?
NO PC told
no OS told
no what app shows wrong colors
what does wrong mean? we can not see it.
what are you doing, with the PC, and application of some kind or just windows screens wrong.
is this a artist point of view , for Publishing in perfect tints?
does VA2026w fail on 2nd PC?
old monitors (trashy) have CCFL back lamps
and go yellow tinged for white, and yellow added to other colors are trash. too.
let me C 14 carbon date this MON.
2007 made and is CCFL lamps and all are bad now
or yellow dog tinged or changes hot../cold or random.

pure trash monitors, all brands that year or older
2010 is the cusp year CCFL > LED
starting with big screens to small.
so 2011 is best year up;.
2010 some are some not.
2007 is junk,

Do you have a second monitor or can you borrow one to check if the fault lies with the monitor or the PC?

If the monitor is at fault then there is not much you can do yourself. I suggest you contact Dell and get them to replace it under warranty. Most LCD monitors have a 3 year warrantly, at least they do in the UK.

cheers

hello wayne,

If this is a CRT screen. . then this applies.

if you have discoloration on your CRT tube monitor (due to a magnet being place near the actual tube), (i.e Speakers)
Most new Monitors have a magnetic degaussing circuit built in the Click the Menu button on the monitor and look for "Degauss". If that doesn't fix the problem.

or check this out for more reference: metacafe link

good luck,

double check that the speaker wire (green) is connected in the back of the monitor and into the back of your pc into the green connection, if it is and there is no sound you can always use a seperate pair of speakers, as it will be cheaper than repairing the monitor.
