Monitor My monitor doesn't show all color when I'm on the web

Replace the monitor, is dead.

HP W1707 LCD Monitor circa 2008 old. 10 years old NOW.
No PC stated or any OS at all. windows what?

connected to what? it must be connected to a working PC
or the monitor is useless as 3rd shoe.

i can only be 2 things, PC or screen bad.

1. the test is child easy test the monitor on another PC.
2. or test the dead PC on another good monitor.

the monitor has no software ever.
only the PC side does for the PCs video chip GPU driver.
but the PC always has one, even if, poor quality resolution.

Toss magic coin land on bad w1707
The screen, can fail for many reasons lets say it fails on a good PC. known good.
these old monitors have CCFL lamps that love to fail inside.
It has no LED back lamps , before 2010. it haS CCFL lamps.
The monitor all by its self, pc disconnected.
you power it on and it shows logo, HP or Compaq
then for seconds turned on the menu may work.'
if you see nothing the CCLF are dead.
The menu button works only with good running PC. but
might work for 1 second.
some do others dont but only for seconds does the OSD work
lacking a good PC connected.

the OSD is the menu from the monitor brain inside
the button is called select or menu.
PC turned off and Monitor now turned on the screen shows.
if the PC is dead the Monitors brain then shows.
NO SIGNAL , or NO sync.
or if PC is set up wrong the monitors shows, OUT OF RANGE.

CCFL love to fail.
the lamps turn yellow, blink or go DEAD.
as can the HV inverter seen here.

PAR:
i one uses the monitor 10 hours a day
on the 5th year, the CCFL goes dead. that is there normal life span.

problem with the monitor Display cable. it is damaged.

Normally monitor will receive 3 colors red, green, Blue signals from CPU. If one cable i.e Red wire connection is missing in display cable which is connected to monitor, Red color image on monitor wil be replaced with other fade color.
So, need the replace the display cable or display connector!

mcdevito75 here, On the monitor itself press the auto button for factory settings, if this doesn"t work, press the menu button for adjusting contrast, color etc. if this doesn"t work your monitor may be going bad.

It sounds like the PC video color setting is at 16 instead of 24 or 32 bit color setup. You need to check the display properties setting on the PC (Right click on the desk top). Also try it on other PC and also check the VGA cable.

exchange your dell monitor to gateway monitor.If the monitor from dell showed the same problem when you connect it to gateway. you must install video card driver. and if the monitor from gateway showed the same problem when you connect it to dell adjust your contrast to full and the brightness to 50% and adjust the colors to 100%

go to NVDIA web site download the latest driver.
you need at least 32bit color to setup the monitor.
the 8-bit color is a default, that is why the monitor alway return to default size which is 800x600.
19" monitor should have minimum of 1280x1024 with 32 color.
don't up the color 256bit. the color will be off on the monitor.

"IT SEAMS LIKE THE RED COLOR IS OFF. SHOWS A LOT OF BLUE"

comeup with a solution you stupid spam ass.

Hi, your monitor is working just fine, that is the test mode, showing you the three colors. This is the colors needed for the monitor to show all the other colors, with this the monitors have a problem..

hello JareX Perhaps as far as I can tell you that your screen does not suppeot this resolution
