Title: My monitor is doing something strange
Post by: rootbeer on December 27, 2007, 05:55:03 PM
I am getting a little red tint in the lower left corner of my monitor, and a little green tint in the lower right corner.  Is this something going wrong with the monitor, or the computer?

I agree with Ethyl, it could mean the screen is headed toward the grave, but those are also symptoms of a magnet having been too close to your monitor. Might want to check and make sure there aren't any devices too close to the screen that use magnets, or any photo magnets (although those might not be strong enough to cause any damage except over a long period of time).

I was gonna say the Magnet thing too...on my first computer, I ruined the moniter that way cause I wanted to see if I could put a magnet on the screen.

Dumb me.

I'm with the last three posters. Had that happen once with a monitor at our house, and we had a speaker magnet to close to one corner of the screen. When we moved it, the weird tinting went away. :)

The camping elves theory is still more exotic though....

fans will do this too. i had a boss one time that his monitor was doing this, when i went to check it out, he had a fan sitting right next to his monitor, when we moved it, the problem cleared up in a few hours.

definitely camping elves...



however, if you check the documentation for your monitor for a feature called 'degaussing', you should find instructions to chase them off ;)

Okay I decided to go with the elves in tents and I did an exorcism and my monitor is back to normal.
