    Right well I was moving the monitor about last night, and one min I looked at it and all was ok, next I noticed the screen was gone all green. Tried chaning the Red Blue and Green colours, had no affect. Also did the default presets and factory replace settings - fecking still green.

    Its a Dell 17" flatback monitor. Any ideas? Tis fecking annoying :/

    This has happen to me a few times!!
    It's usually the VGA cable that has come partially lose and not all the contacts are connecting. Try unplugging the VGA cable and cafefully replugging again.
    If not try another VGA cable!

    Chances are your cable has come loose at the back... wiggle it around and see if it changes... that or a pin missing.

    The cable going to the monitor or PC now? Cause the ones on the Monitor seem fine, the ones into the PC seem a slight bit dodgy I guess.

    Ha lovely! I actually tried that before posting here, but I tried again this time messing with the cables. Just as the cable connects to the "plug" as I call it, if its straight then the PC screen is green, if in a kinda not, its grand.

    So I have it in a not now ;P Works like a charm.

    Cheers for that guys :)
