Thanks Abe...

right after I wrote this post, I was reading on Gateway Destination website and another fellow with the same monitor had his in storage for a while and when he fired her up for the first time, he got a pinkish tint, similar to my blue. That monitor has less than 200 hours on it vs. thousands and thousands for mine.

Since I can't display red as red, but only black, I'm assumming that there is a cold/broken solder joint on the 'red gun'. Blues and greens display as good as one can expect without any red being thrown into the mix.

I don't have another monitor and I was going to haul the computer down to BestBuy or CompUSA just to rule out the AIW video card, but after reading his post, I'm sure it's the monitor. It just uses a regular computer cable, so no individual R/G/B hook ups. It does .93 dot pitch at 75Hz refresh and 800x600 max.

Anyhow, I'm living with it for now.

Take care, Chris
