    My monitor has a blue hue that won't go away. I've checked the cables on other monitors and its good. I've tried the monitor on 2 desktops and 1 laptop and all have the same hue. Sometimes the monitor won't even turn on. What could be the cause?

    I know it's along shot posting on this forum but I thought i'd take it. If anyone knows of a more appropriate forum out there on the interweb to go and post I'd appreciate it.

    Would you describe the hue as a greeny-blue sort of colour? If it is, the monitor isn't displaying red, which means it may just be a faulty cable.

    I thought it was the cable but I've got 3 cables and 3 machines. Same thing happens with all combinations of cables and machines. Also I forgot to say that its an LCD flat panel monitor.

    Probably a faulty image control board then. All I can suggest is to have it replaced.
