im sure we all have an old monitor or 2 lying around. I have an older dell setup as my left monitor, and its yellowed on the outside, and the tube has a greenish tint to it from use. it displays ok, and all, im just wonderin if theres anything i can do to bring it back to a better color.

Unfortuantely there is nothing that you can do to restore the monitor outside, yellowed plastic comes from the fact that the ultraviolet light of the sun changes the chemical composition of the plastic making it yellow. You cant really clean it off. However as for the pictureyou may want to look at this thread

and you could also try to adjust the color temperature settings in your monitor's menu.
