About two days ago my monitors colors displayed serious fading, and text around the edges of the screen is blurring badly. 
It looks similar to when the gamma is turned up too high in a game, all the color detail and depth is gone, i.e. black is very much greyed, red is turning pink, blue is dim and yellow seems to be almost completely gone.
I have combated this somewhat by turning up the "Digital Vibrance" in my video cards driver settings, and fiddling with the colors until I could see properly.
My Video card is a e-Geforce 4 MX440 64mb (yes, I know, but it was cheap) and my monitor is some hulking huge HP thing (called MX70).
Is my monitor sick? Or is my Video card going out?
The monitor is about 3 years old, the video card is about 2.
The monitor is sitting very close to the tower, but that shouldn't be causing this, right?
I need something done, quick, as the condition is worsening by the day. I have tried new drivers, changing the socket used for power, and hitting it (hey, it could have worked!), but I am out of ideas.
If things go like they have been, I wont be able to use this comp in about a week.
