Monitor problem ?

[T M Smith]

I am starting to experience a problem with my VDU, a VA2213.

This screen is between 1 and 2 years old and over the last 3 weeks the
screen has from time to time displayed a pink cast for short periods
before reverting to normal.

This only occurs when it is switched to the Iyo. It has not displayed
this problem when switched to my PC to which it is liked via a switch.

Is it likely to be the VDU or possibly the Iyo's graphics card?

Any ideas anyone.

Other possibilities (and the cheapest, so check first). The cable, try
swapping them; the KVM switch (I presume you're using one), try bypassing
it.

Try wiggling the connectors of the video cable between the Iyonix
and the KVM, at both ends.

Colour casts are often due to bad connections or faulty leads. Try
swapping leads with the one used for the other computer.
