1703FP shows slight inburn and colors are off

Question

My 17' Dell LCD 1730FP monitor is not showing colors correctly (mostly all darker), and in addition, in the menu, I am unable to select image settings or change the contrast. There is also a slight burn-in effect.

mecha_dragon, Is this an all of the sudden issue?

By all of a sudden, do you mean that it happened with no direct cause on my part, then yes. I often let my computer hibernate on it's own, and because my monitor's power button is hard to press, I just have the computer set to sleep after about 3o minutes. One day, when I woke it up, the screen was messed up.

mecha_dragon,

* Press the Menu button on the front of the monitor
* Press plus or minus to move to Factory Reset
* Press the Menu button
* Press plus or minus to move to All Settings
* Press the Menu button

Any difference?

Unfortunately, I already tried this, and to no avail. Though, oddly enough, I came home today, and I found I was able to access the image settings of my monitor again, though the colors are still off.
