Why has my monitor gone all yellowie?

i dont think its anything to do with it directly because the settings havent changed and the tests i have run without the monitor connected seems to say nothing is wrong...

but my screen is now a greenie yellow and i dont know whats up!

it kinda started when my PC kinda fell of its little support and the monitor came out of the plug... could be a wire problem!

check you've not bent a pin when plugging the monitor back in

had the same prob a while back, it sounds like theres a break inside the cable, you'll find that if you move the cable a bit you may be able to get the colour back, although every time it moves again it will go back to green!

If only one part of the monitor has changed colour, it could be due to magnetic interference from a speaker. Move the monitor away from the speaker and see if that clears it.

If the whole screen has changed colour, I would say it is the monitor cable. Try and looking into the end of the cable and make sure no pins are bent, because it sounds like one of the wires in the cable is no longer sending data to the monitor (possibly the RED signal).
