Modern monitors can have multiple "kelvin temperature" settigns that
control color, also, so if you have a monitor with an osd control, try
looking for a temperature selection. I also found one time, a monitor
had the "blue" color pin in the connector bent FLAT. 99% sure it is
hardware, though, adn a power undervoltage to the video card could cause
this and a card wanting much more power than the motherboard is
hardwired for WILL damage a board over weeks at a time-- the low-voltage
stepdown circuitry will first overheat, then choke, then go out of
control before and the result could be damage you would not like to fix.
PS: This was written last night, as Comcast dumped its service from
Sarasota south c lear into Naples (according to national support, they
looked it up for me and said the whole node was out, with reports from
Naples to Sarasota) for about 4.5 hours. I just checked my unsent
composes and am going to post this late rather than never.
