    I think my moniter is either dying or I've burned the yellow and orange of codeproject into it.:laugh: Everything that should be or used to be white now has a creamy yellow/orange tint to it. Looks like I'll be forced to buy a new one in a couple of months. :((

          Mine has started doing exactly that (i.e. the same tints). They fade quickly after startup, maybe taking about half an hour at most, and after that the monitor is fine until it has been without power for a good few hours. I had put it down to the fact it will be having it's seventh - yes seventh - birthday in August! ____________________ David Wulff "You don't go to the kitchen to take a piss - if you do, don't expect to be served." - peterchen on Bill SerGio.

            I've only had my moniter for a year:omg:, but then I have to remember it is an HP moniter. By the way, at which resolution do most of you run at? I'm running mine at 1152x864. In my opinion if I lower my resolution anymore everything in VS.NET is all packed together and if I higher my resolution all the text in windows gets small and blurry I then am forced to lower my refresh rate becuase my moniter doesnt support it at high rates and resolution.

                  Mine goes purple sometimes, but that's due to the lines being damaged in the cable near the plug - giving the cable a shake usually makes it go back to a normal colour again. Considering it's a 5 year old 15" monitor, that I've been planning to replace for at least 2 years, it's not doing too badly, I suppose -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                      check the colour balance, my monitor comes with two presets. one of them makes white things appear with a reddy orangy tint.
