Ok, i have a monitor that is only about 3 years old and i aquirred another monitor and so i unplugged my old one and plugged the new one up and it has a VERY dark tint to it, so i plugged the older one back up and NOW it has a greenish yellow tint, I have tried using the color/contrast tools, and darkening/lightening tools on my system, but it only made it worse....Whats wrong with the old monitor? it was never dropped or anything....i am so confused...thanks

As Russ said, it might be one of the pins. But since it sounds like both monitors are having problems you might want to check and make sure your video card has not come loose/unseated from the mother board. If the connection at the back of the computer jiggles when you touch it, you need to open your computer case and make sure the video card is firmly seated in its slot.
