Monitor Display problems

Ok I have a KDS 19" Xtreme flat display monitor.. For some reason it has stopped displaying red.. Greens & Blues still display.. I've switched it to a second computer and it does the same thing. The monitor from the second PC works properly on first PC.. This tells me there is a problem with that specific monitor.

Any clues on how this can be fixed or if it is cost effective to fix?

Thank you

Generally it's not worth it to replace the tube in a CRT monitor. (That's like replacing a tv tube). Perhaps there is a setting on your monitor to make reds more vibrant, or did you check that already?

So far I've tried Degaussing (via monitor's OSD) and checked color settings on the monitor's OSD.. The odd thing is.. when I bring up the OSD there is an icon for the color setting which shows 3 stripes red blue and green (of course) Well on that icon, the red stripe shows up normally.

I've tried adjusting the red value but it basically shows up blackish.

Commonly, this class of monitors has a problem with a bad plug pin or solder connections at video connectors -- this is one possibility, especially since the self-test works OK. One way to check for this is to look at the plug to see if there's a bent pin, which can be straightened with a small pair of hemostats (avoid crimping). To check for bad solder, plug the monitor into a computer, turn it on, then slap the side of the cabinet, hard. If the red flashes or comes back on, solder or a loose internal connector is the problem. If you have a friend that knows how to solder have him help you, or show you how -- it's not difficult.

hello
recently had a problem with my pc monitor.. the screen is flickering and also the size of the screen gets shrinked. in order to see if there's something wrong with the monitor , i even attached it to my laptop and the problem still persisted.
so does it mean that it's time to change the monitor or the tube??
