Time for a new monitor.........

My CTX 19" monitor has developed a redish/pink tint to it.

Adjusting the color temp only increases the tint.

Adjusting the color in the display properties for the ATI drivers helps for a few minutes...then I hear a little click, the screen flickers for 1/2 sec then the color tint returns.

tekrider,

I had the same problem with my CTX. Some suggested opening up the thing and checking for loose connections Yikes

I don't thinks so.
With the way CRT's are priced nowadays, I went out and bought a nice Samsung 19" 900DF for about $150.
The way I look at it, at that price, if it last a couple of years, I got my money's worth out of it. I guess they are pretty much disposable.
Others will probably recommend flat screens to you, but I'm not interested in them right now due to price and I'm into gaming.

Just my opinion.

I'm inclined to agree with you usp4. I've sent this monitor in once for repair...2 yrs ago. Had it for almost 5 years now. When LCD's get beyond (less than) 8 dead pixels, I'll consider them....for a 2nd monitor. But the primary will still be CRT
