Monitor / Display problems.

Options
Evening all!

I have a 19" GNR monitor, its about a year old now.
It was working fine last night and now it only displays half of the desktop.

What should be the far left hand side is in the middle of the screen.
Also the colour isn't right, Black even on boot up is more like green.
And the XP blue colour is very watercolour blue.

I've preesed the 'Auto setup' button but that hasn't made it any better although the 'real' colours do flash up.

I've updated my graphics card drivers and checked the resolution etc.
I've done a restore and still no joy. Any ideas? Could it be my graphics card?

Thanks for reading, hope someone can help..
I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    Check the cable, sounds like a loose connection.

    Is the monitor CRT or TFT?

    Are you able to try another monitor on that PC, or try that monitor on another PC?

    Finally sussed out my problem..

    I managed to test it on another machine and the fault was still present.
    I've been back to where I bought the monitor and it's under 3 years warranty from the manufacturer so the good news is they'll be swapping it for a new one :)

    Thanks for everyones help ;)
