Hi guys,
I built my own PC towards the end of last year and a couple of months after building it my monitor display suddenly had a red tinge to it. I looked around on the internet to find solutions and eventually hoped that it was simply some faulty wiring in the VGA cable I was using since it was an old scavenged one. I eventually got used to the tinge but today decided to buy a decent new VGA cable. Unfortunately i still get the red tinge. I am wondering if it is the connector on the display. I don't believe it is something wrong in the workings of my TV because I have a 360 connected to the DVI socket and that has no tinge.
Could it be my graphics card? It is a new one I bought just at the end of last year. I can't remember the exact model but i can find out if necessary.
If it is the graphics card should I request a replacement on overclockers or go straight to the manufacturer?

Thanks guys

Bob
 
I've never heard such an issue like that thats been a hardware problem.. so I think Its best to look first at your colour settings..
 
yeah color setting don't work, I tried that a while ago. I also tried DVI and that had no red tinge( although the image was worse quality than VGA and the resolution was a bit off) I'm assuming then that it's probably a problem with the connector for VGA on my tv then?

Thanks for the help
