    Hey I don't really know where to find out about this stuff, but I'm guessing that most of the people on this forum are pretty good at their computer know-how and such.

    My Dell monitor (15" TFT) has got a strange yellow tinge to it, I've had it for coming up to 3 years, and I've never heard of a TFT doing this kind of thing.

    I've played around with all the brightness, gamma and contrast settings in my graphics card settings and in on the actual monitor itself but it still has a yellow tinge to it. My graphics card is a GeForce 6600 GT by the way, and I've got dual monitors at the moment, and the new one is fine.

    I'm happy to pay for repairs if they can be done, I can't even think about going back to one monitor, doesn't bare thinking about.

    Thanks

    I've got the newest drivers for my card, I've also tried the ones that came with the monitor and I've also tried both monitors on another PC and without dual display on my machine. But my old monitor is still yellow >.<

    Ok I did a bit of research, and I found out that Yellow light is made out of red and green light, soooo I changed the colour settings and turned down the red and green light. So now, it's kinda fixed, but I don't know for how long.

    Thanks
