Hey guys, I've had this issue for a while but thought nothing of it however now it's beginning to bug me and I'm wondering if anyone could shed any light on the issue.

I have a dual monitor setup and it works fine, however one of my monitors often suffers from becoming discoloured to red/pink hue and flickers between this and the natural colours. Only on one of the monitors, it never happens on the other. This problem often just stops after a wee bit, or when I fiddle with the connection at the back of the card.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas why this would happen, or if they know of a solution, or even the best way to go about working out the cause of the problem?
 
Sounds like it could be as simple as said loose connection if fiddling with it helps... (the good old days of wiggling SCART adapters with a PS2 :D)

Make sure it's connected up tightly enough, and that nothing is pulling on the cable. If that doesn't help, test the monitor with the issues by itself and see if you still have the problem.

Are they identical monitors?

I have checked that the connections are still tight and they are as tight as they'll be, there is still some movement but that's to be expected considering i'm havinging to route them through a converter (monitor and graphics cards dont use the same style). Nothing pulling on the cables, and yeah both monitors are the same type, possibly a slight age difference as they were aquired at different times, but still the same monitors.

They are Fujitsu Siemens L22W-5's incase you're wondering.
