Monitor's screen has a yellow tint

Hi, there
 
For the past two weeks I've experienced the on-again, off-again
yellow tint to the monitor's screen.  However, now into the
third day, the screen has remained yellow.  Needless to say, It's
h*ll on the eyes too.
 
Here's what I have...
a circa 8/2000 Dimension L667r with an E770 monitor. Will give
you other specs if needed to analyse/diagnose.
 
Don't have a clue what's causing this. Age? Video card?
All responses will be welcomed.
 
Thanks, in advance.

Does the Monitor performance seem a bit slow too?  My first step would be view the troubleshooter, which can be found in the Help & Support Center; type 'monitor' into the search field.  Also look at the knowledge base you will find there.  If this does not resolve your issue, you can try some online diagnostics.  Go to www.pcpitstop.com.  There, your computer's functions can be anonymously analyzed.  Please be prepared to close some pop-up adverts during the test!  The full test includes extensive tests of your monitors performance.  Your results are displayed at the end, and solutions and corrections you can make to your settings are offered.  However, from what you say, it could also be the beginning of an internal failure of your monitor.  Try the suggested steps first.

Francis,

Thanks, for the tip on Tune-Up Tips!
I've added it to my Favorites.

Their scan did not find any monitor
or video card errors.  So, I'm back
to square one.   :smileysad:

I am happy that you found the Tune-Up useful.  Visit the site frequently, it can identify problems before they effect your computer.  If the test did not find a settings fault with your monitor, it looks more likely it is the beginning of a Screen Projection problem with your monitor.  A repair or replacement looks likely.:smileysad:
