My monitor, yesterday, took a crap. All of a sudden there was no blue period. The result is a screen that is readable but hard to read. The brightness is screwed-up & everything has a major green tint.
Time to find that flat screen.

Is it a CrT? Give it a whap on the blunt end of it. Not enough to break something, but enough to get its attention.
I had a tv that had a loose socket on the picture tube, and it would lose one of its primary colors. An open-palmed slap on the back would seat it. At least for awhile.

Just be careful smacking those things around. I had a TV once that would go all funky and then would work for a while if I smacked it a bit. The problem got worse and worse. Then, one day, I smacked it and sparks flew. I didn't get hurt or anything but I really hate sparks and sudden noises. I squeaked like a wounded animal and ran and hid.

What's the fun of having high voltage if you can't make sparks fly once in a while?
