    wierd problem - red tint to monitor.

    hi, occasionally, when i start up my pc, my monitor screen has s red tint to it, so everything appears slightly red. it is nothign to do with the monitor settings.

    when the startup programs are all fully loaded, the screen normally flickers, and the redness goes but not always.

    what is wrong? i have GeForce Ti200 graphics card, with the latest drivers...

    I'd say, either your monitor is dieing, or your Geforce is overheating but I can't tell which 1.

    Maybe your monitor cable is damaged.

    Check the wire connection, and make sure the screw is securely fastened. This happened to me before with a blut tint, took a week to figure the simple reason why

    maybe ur are starting to get colour blindness?

    Check ur cable that connect to ur video card. twist and turn to see if theres any changes?

    Trying giving ur monitor a smack on the side of it. Might work but at your own risk!

    In your monitor's menu, look for a DeGauss option. I think the monitor needs to be degaussed.

    So degauss your monitor.

    Degauss.

    My monitor has a "temperature" slider bar that makes it go red at one end.

    Does yours?
