Oblivion Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm getting a pinkish effect slightly on my monitor, if i move it to the left it increases a lot and if i take it the other way it reduces, what could be the problem?

nugg3t Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 maybe check around if there isnt other devices working, like a cellphone , or maybe theres a magnet somewhere on your desk, dont put your speakers to close to your monitor, and do u have cordless phones in the house? maybe un plug them or something Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/158754-pinkish-effect-on-a-monitor-screen/#findComment-1986909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visentinel Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Theres a Magnet near your monitor, Remove the Offending Object and youll be ok :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/158754-pinkish-effect-on-a-monitor-screen/#findComment-1986914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 I cant find the damn magnet :) I've increased the distance of the speakers but i think there is a gas control nob right behind my computer desk but i covered it with plastic as well. Do you see any pinkish effect in this desk image i've taken?

HappyCar Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 If its not the whole magnet thing (which it probably is) Check the pins on the monitor cable, once a friend of mine has a screen with a blue tinge, turned out it was a bent pin. Good luck!!!!!!! :rofl: EDIT: Spruce moose, great minds...are cool :ninja: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/158754-pinkish-effect-on-a-monitor-screen/#findComment-1986926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigaroo Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 When you are taking a screenshot, it is not going to the monitor to grab the image, which is why you see no pink.

Visentinel Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 put your monitor where you want it and then hit the Deguasse Function, if needed do it multiple times in 5 minute intervals :D !!! that should do it ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/158754-pinkish-effect-on-a-monitor-screen/#findComment-1986994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigaroo Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 No. I do recommend taking it outside completely free of everything (Except those pesky ladybugs...), or in your kitchen, or somewhere where there isn't a lot of electronics and see if it still has the pinkish hue to it. If so, there is something too close to your monitor causing the discoloration. If you hang around too long with the pink effect... you may permaneatly damage the monitor.

nugg3t Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 even if u take a screenshot of your desk, it doesnt mean were gonna see it, its probably cuz of your monitor, youd have to take a snapshot of your monitor, for us to see what your talking about.

GFM Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Also for next time, turn down your brightness becasue I used to get the same problem and it was the brightness setting.

RogueJawa Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 degaussing probably wont help, i had the same problem but a blue tint, the VGA cable wasnt in all the way.
