LCD Monitors

I've had my LCD monitor for about 3 and a half years or so and the past couple of months, when it was left on for a while (now it's down to about an hour of being on before it starts) I get a pinkish and blueish color in the dark areas. The more it's on, the more it becomes that way.

I remember hearing a long time ago when LCD's came out that they don't last that long. I don' t know if this is what they meant and the crystals are just dying in them or what.

It's a MAG Innovision Monitor and it looks great & had no problems with it until a few months ago.

Anyone know why this could be happening?
 
don't quote me on this but it might be because the backlight bulbs in your screen are dying. I've heard of this problem before, though it usually happens in older laptops with ttf screens. here's the answer from one group regarding a simmilar problem:

"
1. The backlight is failing - if the voltage invertor for the LCD display backlight is okay, you may get a brighter display briefly while booting, then the display goes black or very dim and stays that way.
That happens because the voltage invertor circuit shuts off when it detects the backlight is poor to prevent frying itself. Another symptom of a failing backlight is the display probably had a pink or other colored tint before this blackness problem happened.
The backlight is fairly inexpensive (e.g. $40 on the web) but tricky to replace yourself (you must be very careful, and good at soldering - you have to remove the LCD assembly from the laptop lid and remove pieces from the LCD assembly edges) and it is recommended you have some technician who knows how to do that tackle it, which will cost you more, or you get yourself a complete LCD display assembly either refurbished (more expensive) or new (even more expensive).
The backlight is technically called a CCFL - a Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp."

Question sounding the same but I have BRAND NEW Samsung monitors and my second monitor (in a dual display) shows up with a blue tint....when I can get it running, that's another problem.
