Problems with monitor - Shaded lines and dull faded color.
I have a Dell monitor that is about 5 years old. It has just recently began to look dull and lose its color brightness. Red seems to be very dull and green and yellow seem to blend together. Also, I've noticed shaded greyish lines that run across the screen that are wider in the corners of my monitor. I was just wondering if my monitor is probably just dying or if it could be something else. I do have a stereo receiver about a foot from the monitor also and I'm wondering if that could be the problem.
Thanks

I'm having the grey lines across the screen problem as well

I've tried updating drivers, software, etc. to no avail. My system is also 3 yrs old.
Was wondering if I should try installing a new video card?

Ok, I'm pretty sure I found the problem. I looked at the pins on the end of my monitor cable that inserts into the tower and two of them are missing. I have an old Dell monitor, model number D1728D-LS, manufactured october 1995. I can't seem to get the cable off of the back of the monitor.
Did the old monitors have permanent cables attatched to them or what? Or am i just not taking it off right?
