I may get CW for $25. I've been waiting for the price to drop on that. scratch that, my birthday is on May 5th I may just put it on my list at that price LOL

I'll have a look tomorrow because I'd get 3 of those kids dvd for $20 for my nieces.

it was not the cable, i tried several. the monitor is not in my possesion right now, it is at the shop. i am anxious the hear wtf it is!

i just took it to a shop, they will give me an estimate.

is that fixable by a shop? Even if they have to order parts, I still want to get it fixed.

This post is a bump. also if anyone wants to mention anything, let me know, I can't do anything with the monitor until Thursday night and take it somewhere on Friday morning.

I don't think it would hurt. Worst case it would just look funky. I'd try it and see. You may have to play around with your resolution and frequency for that output.

the best way to tell is to try the exact same set up with just another TV. I bet it is the TV, especially since it was doing it with another video card. I have had no problems with tv out on 2 different ati cards, a rage fury pro and my current 8500. Just try another tv and see- a new one...

I agree with the above post. Personally, I like the battle for one reason. I never buy a brand new card. I usually can wait about 6 months and get it for half the price it was released at, sometimes even cheaper with OEM. It will still be a great card and if a brand new one was not being...

I'm not going to rule out using BNC on it. My plan of attack is now to take it to a shop nearby that has gotten good remarks and see what the deal is. It will cost $25 for them to look at it and determine the problem, and if I want to get it fixed that $25 will go towards the cost to do so...

damn I could not get a bnc to vga cable yesterday. Bestbuy used to sell them but alas no longer. I'm not going to try that because when there is NOTHING hooked up to it, the monitor retains the yellow tint on its own test screen.

this monitor also uses the 5 connectors like fixed frequency monitors, I may get an adapter cable and see if I can run it with that instead= hopefully the frequency is not fixed on that input though, I'm about to run to the store and see!! GG

I am not going to do anything with it myself, I am just going to take it to a shop and see what they can do. I have the color all adjusted so it looks the best it can but it still looks crappy. It is worth it to get it fixed to me, it is a very nice monitor, one of the best CRTs I have used...

perhaps there is some kind of color film I could put over it to get rid of the yellow before it gets to my eyes? thoughts?

that is what I am thinking but it does not seem to be the case. I may try it on one more machine if my dad has his laptop here. However, I've used 2 different cables and no difference on the same machine. I hope it is just a loose wire somewhere right inside the case. I am NOT going to...
