Our monitor screen has a green tinge. When we switch the PC on it is OK but gets greener as we use it.

An example is that I have this forum set to mocha - but now it is different shades of green rather than brown/beiges.

I'm hoping it's some setting that gone awry, rather than something dying.

Any ideas?

From my experience it could either be three things..

1) The settings have been adjusted by accident soemwhere along the way. Most monitors have a menu button somewhere on them, where you can set the 'warmth' of the colour.. which can onften give you the choice of which colour the monitor is biased towards

However.. with the way you describe it.. that it gets worse the longer you use it for.. I think it might be one of:

2) The monitor isn't getting enough power. I've had a monitor that started going red due to it not getting enough power. Some monitors get plugged in to the back of the PC and draw their power from there, which can be a problem. If this is the case, buy a new kettle lead for the monitor and plug it in independently of the PC.

3) The monitor is on it's last legs. Hopefully not, but it's possible...

There may be other reasons too, those are just ones that I have come across

check the plug going to the graphics card that it's tight

I have seen this before. I can't really offer any advice (the current advice is sound enough anyway, I'm sure, lol). My wife's Grand parents have recently oftained a PC from the Brother inlaw and that screen seems green....I assumed the mintor was on its last legs, but maybe not? It is really hard to work with, too.

update your video card driver

right click on the desktop, go to settings, go to advanced, go to color management and also adapter and monitor and make sure you have the CORRECT display adapter (video card), the correct model monitor and the correct color profile set.

also, your video card should have a control panel too that lets just adjust the RED, BLUE and GREEN levels.

depending on the model of your video card (for example mine is made by ATI), it should be under

start/all programs/ATI or Nvidia/Control Center or something like that
