I didn't notice if you were talking about an LCD or a CRT display. I had a CRT monitor a while back which sometimes gave off a pink cast. I found hitting it on the side would coorect it!0

We don't see what you are seeing in your screenshot (and we wouldn't if it was either a graphics card issue or a monitor issue).
The best thing you can do is take a picture of your screen with an actual camera and post that.If my post helped you in anyway, please hit the "Thanks" button! Please note any advice I give is followed at your own risk!0 -
unscrew the monitor lead at both ends and refit!!

Here are two pictures that I took with my phone, probably not the best examples, but i'll dig out my camera and take better ones if nobody can see what i can see.
All around the sky on the first picture are tiny pink dots, and also on the right hand side of my start menu.
On the second picture, you can (hopefully) see the dots at random places, taken from this site.
Thank you.:)

My monitor goes a bit funny intermittently, but if I turn it on n' off again, the wibbly bits go away.
If you unplug the video cable from the back of the PC (hopefully it's a blue connector at the graphics card, that's it's VGA port) then look for another blue connector amongst the USB slots, etc above it, that will be your onboard (motherboard) VGA connector. It may be covered by a black plastic cap though, if you have one at all.
If it's a long, white connector then that's a DVI cable, and you're very unlikely to have a matching port like that on the motherboard
I will have a look at the back of my computer and see if i can see the blue bits. I do know that the plug bit on the back of the monitor is Blue and where it normally plugs into my pc is blue also, but never noticed whether there is something above it thats also blue.
Thank you.
ETA... I have looked at the back of the PC and can find nothing blue above the bit where the cable plugs in, sorry, maybe i'm just not looking correctly.If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them~Dalai LamaHow people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours~Wayne DyerLet none find fault in others.

It is an LCD monitor, and although i was/am tempted to bash it on the side, i think that may do more harm than good. :rotfl:

I have unscrewed the cable from the back of the pc but the one in the back of my monitor is just too tight for me to get in properly. Its in a really awkward position for me to get my fingers in and unscrew it as it is very tightly screwed.
I'm thinking i may well just have to give in and call the pc man out.
