Question:

LCD monitor, red fuzz where it should be black?

I have an lcd monitor that shows a fuzzy red color wherever it should be black. But the thing is, this only seems to apply when the computer is booting up. Once it's loaded the OS from the hard drive the colors are fine, even black. I know this is not a video card issue or anything since it also happened on a junk computer that I had lying around (I know its video card is fine because I tested it on another monitor beforehand). So here's what happened when I hooked up the old box:1: Hooked everything up, turned it on, the entire screen is a fuzzy red.2. Stays that way until the Damn Small Linux cd I had was booted up.3. All colors look fine (even black), but then I notice that there's a small area of the red fuzz all the way across the top.What could this be? Is there a way to fix it? Or is my monitor now junk?Please don't say this is a video card issue, I have tested for this many times.Thanks

Answer:

When monitors start to lose its color and turn to some tint/fuzzy it means it starting to go bad. But there things you can try like checking the connection to the computer to see if it loose or shorting which also cause the same problem, jiggle the connection to see if it change. Also you can do a test on other monitor to check if it has the same problem, and to make sure you don't have a bad video card.
