Ok today my monitor all of a sudden went yellowish... i saw it happen. Actually its my 2nd monitor, and I can sit here and look from 1 monitor to the other and it looks different. Luckily its my 2nd monitor doing this... but what can I do to get the yellowness out?

Is the cable that connects it to your video card secured firmly at both ends? I have had that before, so I disconnected the cable from both the card and the monitor and reseated it.

Your welcome.

When mine did that once, my buddy told me my monitor was dying. He would always assume the worst. I find it easier on the bank account if I start troubleshooting with the simple, low cost solutions and work my way up. Saved a lot of $$$$ that way
