Conundrum

Does anyone know what would cause this? It seems to be happening across the board with different systems that the monitor is running off of. So I'm thinking it would have something to do with the monitor itself or possibly the cable. It's an NEC MultiSync FP1350X 22" monitor with a DVI on the back to an analog on the video card. I was thinking about trying a higher quality cable to see if it fixed the problem.

I've seen this before on LCDs, but never on a CRT monitor. If that doesn't work, I'm sending it back... and that's going to cost 40-50 bucks just to ship it back and have them send me a new one. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas beyond what I've suggested? The problem doesn't show up at all at 640X480, and very rarely at 800X600, but anything above that and it's all over. I don't believe it's a driver issue.. but I suppose I could be mistaken. I have the correct driver for the monitor loaded. Any ideas are welcome...
 
Has the monitor been like that ever since you got it, or did the problem take a while to develop?

And of course, you might want to reset its settings, degauss, etc. if you haven't done so already.

Also, it has DVI on the back...?? Are you sure? It's a CRT, right? It should use a standard 15-pin d-sub connector, or possibly the BNC connectors...
 
No, it has DVI on the back and the cable is DVI on one end and D-sub on the other (the part the plugs into my video card). I've tried messing around with the settings to no avail. It didn't happen when I first got it, it just started doing it all of a sudden. It sucks trying to play Counterstrike or even read forums etc with all the colors bleeding off to the right. I have no idea what's going on..
 
Hm. Well, I'd call NEC/Mitsubishi's tech support line and get their input just to be sure, but IMO you'll almost certainly end up having to send it back.

Just OOC, have you tried changing your color depth and refresh rate?
