Hello, I'm new here. I have a large Dell Monitor that came with my computer 6-7 years ago, and it has been a nearly trouble free system. About 3 hours ago the monitor, CRT, switched to a blue tint. Where there are words on the screen, there is a dim whit line. To me it appears that my monitor wants to go belly up, but that is my layman opinion. Is there a way to switch back to the non blue tint color scheme?
Thanks for your assistance with this.

The causes on a CRT are likely to be any of the following:
- VGA cable problem or pin bent on connector or not fully puished in.
- Decayed component for the complementary colour.
- Video card is failing (unlikely)
The VGA plug into one end is usually the reason. I had that yesterday on my LCD screen - blue was dominant. I pushed the plug in a bit better and end of problem.
