Monitor has pink tint

jroyston · 04-18-2005, 04:49 PM

I have a standard Plug and Play Dell CRT monitor which has served me well for a couple of years. Upon start up a few days ago, it has a pink tint on both the left and right sides and the whole picture is just very slightly skewed. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi, and welcome to TSF. On a hunch, did you recently place some speakers or a power transformer/supply, as for a printer, etc. near the monitor about the time this occurred?

It seems like a common problem.
