This green-screen problem barely happend as of a few days ago. The whole screen is green, not literally, everything just has a shade of green, instead of their normal colors. What I'm wondering is it's the screen that's faulty or if there's something wrong with the (2) PC's that I use it for? I'm guessing it's the screen since I've had it for a few years... It's a bulky Compaq FS740, but I just wanna be sure before I consider buying another.

    Sounds like it's going out to me. It's common after a few years on CRT's.

    It's also possible that one of the pins in the cable plug is bent. Check that too...

    Yes, it could just be a loose or bent cable, if it's nt permanently attached to the monitor, try a new VGA cable.

    Does it vary at all? I had an issue for a while with my whole screen taking on a red tinge... turns out that the problem was the DVI cable had slightly loosened from the back of the video card! I screwed it back in tight and it was business as usual.

    Unfortunately the cable is permanently attached to the monitor. And for the pins, I checked and they're all straight.

    A piece of tape is doing the job so far, but I'm assuming when it was built, it wasn't meant to be used in such way that I'd have to end up using a piece of tape to get the regular screen colors working. Still any suggestions are always welcomed.
