Extreme Red Screen on Monitor

~~Crash Override~~ · Jan 13, 2004, 02:04 AM

This monitor is about 3 years old but for most of its life its had a really reddish pink tint to the screen. Im not sure why it happened but the previous owner said it started like 3 weeks after he bought it and he never sent it back in.

Anytime I do Degauss to this thing the whole screen turns into a rainbow and shakes and twists. Its almost like looking into a tunnel lol

Anyhoo anyone know a way of trying to fix the colors so it will look good again? Its an ADi Microscan 910 monitor. I can tell its an AG monitor for sure because of the lines on it.

Thats about all I know about it. I really want to be able to use this monitor for my second system but the color being off gets really annoying really fast *sighs*

Are all the pins on the connections straight like they should be? I had someone give me a monitor a couple of years ago (small 15 inch) and found out that someone had bent one of the pins.

yup they are all straight

I only had to carry the thing downstairs since it was my fiances brother who had owned it before me.

Im pretty familiar with this monitor. I just hate having to use it for my rig when Liz gets the nice and tuned AOC lol.

I've spent months tweaking her monitor settings to perfection and now I have one thats red no matter what
