Need some help with one of my monitors. Turned off my computer overnight the other day and turned off my powerstrip (Just got a new cat, worried about wires.) When I turned it back on, my monitor was displaying this horrible dark blue tint. I played with everything, even tried resetting it back to it's default settings, nothing has helped. I hooked up my other LCD (17" Envision, exact same model as my 19" but smaller) and it works perfectly fine. When I hook up my 19", I still get the same problem. It's like the BSOD color. I've played with all the settings and nothing helps. I even tried setting all the same monitor settings as the 17" and it doesn't help. I've only had both these monitors for a year. The 17" is giving me the worst headache now and the settings were the same as what I used to have on my 19". I haven't gotten a headache since I bought the 19" over a year ago and the past 2 days my heads been killin me!
I was just able to pinpoint it down. It's not displaying red. It's the monitor, not the video card or any video card settings as my 17" works fine. I've also tried switching the VGA cable from the 17" monitor and still get the same problem. The cable from the 19" monitor works fine on the 17" monitor so that rules out the cable being the culprit. I've also tried changing the vga/dvi adapter (video card only has dvi) without any luck.
Any idea what could've happened to it and how to fix it? If it likely needs a part, I'm more than willing to take it off the 17" as I don't have much use for it if the 19" is working.
Thanks guys,
Hutch
