Solve : Monitor has an orange color? |
|
Answer» Hello - Why not just borrow one to make sure its either one, monitor or PC component is faulty? Just for testing. It sounds like your CRT monitor is shot, in other words it needs replacing. I would suggest an LCD display. That is the norm for the folk the work with computers. If you need help with that then please let us know. Mulreay - Thanks for your reply. My neighbor is gone for 10 days. When she gets back I think I can use her monitor to help check the problem. The orange tint has not reached the problem stage yet but I am concerned that it might. By the time that the background picture comes up everything appears normal. BobMulreay - The orange tint seems to be increasing in intensity and duration. Makes me wonder if I am going to lose my monitor without any more warning. Will you explain what you mean when you say I should get a LCD display. I need to be parpared. Thanks Bob Quote from: Bobh on February 19, 2011, 04:24:28 AM explain what you mean when you say I should get a LCD display This is a "CRT" (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor. This is an "LCD" (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor. Which type do you have? Salmon Trout - Thanks for your reply. I have an E Machine flat panel Monitor, which is an LCD. HOWEVER, I have solved my problem!! While checking the user guide I found out that there were 5 buttons on the side of the monitor. These buttons control the color and other operations. Apparently some time I accidentally pressed one of the bottons and changed the tint of the screen. When I read the directions I corrected the problem. I apologize for taking up your time. Consider the problem corrected. Thanks Bob Glad to hear you got the problem sorted Thanks also to Mulreay and Jason 2047.

Since then I have discovered that I did not solve the problem. I have tried a couple of things which did not help. At Jason 2074's suggestion today I took my monitor to my friends house and plugged it into his computor. When I turned it on the orange tint was still there. As usual the orange tint faded to the normal color after a minute or two. He suggested that what controls the balance of color might be weak and gets normal as it heats up. I suppose that over time the control will get weaker and will fail and I will need to buy a new monitor. Does this sound reasonable? At the present the problem is not a big one but I would like to be prepared. Thanks Bob Quote Does this sound reasonable? At the present the problem is not a big one but I would like to be preparedYes and start on investing for a better monitor sooner and in the meantime while it is still usable. This is an LCD monitor. The image is formed by shining light from a "backlight" through the LCD panel. It is common for the backlight to TAKE a small amount of time to reach full stable brightness; a second or two. Seems like yours may be a bit sluggish. Like a COMPACT fluorescent bulb (similar technology). If it settles down after a minute I would not worry too much. If it starts to go pink that is a sign the backlight is failing. They can be REPLACED. Do you mean a heavy orange tint, or just a slight warm effect, like when you change the color temperature towards "warm"? Jason 2074 - Thank you for your reply. I think you have the answer I was looking for. I will just keep on using what I have but stay prepared to get a new monitor. Salmon Trout _ Thanks for your reply. I guess you could say what I get is just a slight warm effect. As I said I will just watch for more developments. At least I know the problem is the monitor and not the computer. Thanks for your time. Bob |
