Cry for help

So for some reason my monitor has decided to go a lurid greeny yellow colour with more than a slight resemblence to a fluro combination of both the above. There's something else I could compare it to, but I don't think I will.

I've had this before with a previous monitor (it went purple), and it's really really annoying. The purple was easier on the eyes, and this is just disturbing.

Does anyone have any idea what might fix it? I swear the only thing I've done to this machine recently has been uninstall and reinstall blutooth, which shouldn't have done a damn thing.

I couldn't find anything that said degauss. And completely unplugging the monitor didn't work either.

You normally get a "bong" type noise when you degauss. If you can't do it yourself, you could borrow someone else's monitor, sit that next to your one, and degauss it instead :-)
