Another issue might be the connection. I"ve had a blue-tinted monitor  
a few times and that was caused by one of the VGA-pins in the  
connector being broken. I'm not sure whether you're using VGA or DVI,  
but I presume a bad connection in the wire can cause the same trouble  
as a bad connector.

HTH,
