As there any kind of magnetic interference? You might just need to degauss.
Please give a bit more information about your problem...

Using the same Monitor cable on both monitors ?

 

[jmoorejm901]

I did not use the same monitor cable. I did degauss it, did not work. I even added another video card to my HP Pavilion 6736 PC. The first monitor that turned green I stopped using it for a few months then it went back to clear. I tried not using the second monitor for a shorter time but wanted to use it because it is bigger.I now have the smaller monitor hooked up to the old video card and the big monitor hooked up to the new video card. The smaller monitor has not turn to green yet. But it will, soon. Thanks for the reply's.

Sounds like cold solder joints to me. Generally you can get a TV repair shop to touch all the solder joints for $20'ish (at least the guy in my hometown does it for $20).

Cheers!

When I hit the monitor after it has been on for a while, It clears up. If Iturn it off for about 5 minutes then turn it on it will be green. Thanks for the replies.

I HAve an old HP Pavilion 8250 that did the same thing. but it started after I installed a Voodoo 3500 video card. I simply jiggle the connection on the PC where the monitor is plugged in and it clears up. if you are using a videocard make sure that its tightly secured and make sure that the monitor connections is tightly secured. I still have that pc up and running and it will only happen to me when I kick the cables or something. but to tell you the truth it hasnt happened in over a years since last time I tighten everything.

I hope this helps.
