I hate to say it but it sounds like your luck of the draw wasn't good.
Will they replace it?

I think if it doesn't work, I'm just going to keep it using the manually adjusted settings..but anyone have an idea how to fix it though?

if one color gun is weak you turn down the others or vica versa. It can be done internally if there isn't enoungh control externally. In your case there appears to be but things get worse over time. Eventually you will not be able to compensate enough.

My biggest gripe with refurbs is that if you buy them from a long distance the shipping pretty much precludes returns and you get what you got.

I try to buy refurbs locally. Always look at the screen with a white background first...you can see the scratches if any.

I drove 3 1/2 hours for my G500, well worth saving $100 in shipping.

I have a NEC 22" and the funny thing is the NEC and DELLs are Sony Trinitron Tubes ... just you pay more for "Trinitron" name.
