help help, my monitor has a purple tint.......

ive been looking for support all over this site and have
gotton no luck.... it's ridiculous, so this is my last
resort...

i have one simple question....my monitor has suddenly
turned purple... everything has a purple tint, and
everything ive tried with the colors doesnt help.... what
could be wrong??

Try swapping your monitor with a monitor from a friend's computer. If the
monitor is still purple on his computer then it's probably going bad, but if
his monitor turns purple on your computer you have a graphic adapter
problem.

Trying another monitor as Richard suggests should give an indication
but (FWIW) I have had two monitors turn pink and both were due to the
monitor cable having trouble. As they were not removable, I waggled
the cable until it lost the pink and then tied it in that position and
it was good for a few years.

Uh, yeah; that's a good idea too. ;-)

I've always wanted blue eyes--would twisting my ears and taping them help?

No but it would likely bring a nice rosy color to your cheeks after a while.
