For the past 4 or 5 years, I've used two monitors on my computer as it's nice to have that much real estate to spread things out on. But a week ago, my second monitor started doing some weird things.
First, it took on a reddish tint. I tried to correct it, but to no avail. Now.... it's green.
A screen shot isn't affected by this green tint, but here's the weird part: I use a utility program called Instant Eyedropper. It allows me to select a small area on either monitor and pick up the HTML, RGB or HSB colors for either a small group of pixels, or an individual pixel if I desire. But this app will only return 255:255:255 no matter where on the screen it's placed and what color is really under it, even if I KNOW it's 0,0,0.
My first thought was I had a monitor going south. But since the Instant Eyedropper won't function properly on that monitor, it makes me think it's a driver or even possibly a video card issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
