Is your monitor new or old?

I've seen some examples of this problem: If it's a CRT monitor and it's also old (including surplus or refurbished monitors), there could be a problem with the VGA plug/socket (loose or bent pins) or the picture tube itself. Banging the side of the monitor as a temporary measure to clear up the "redness" is not recommended, as it could further damage the monitor.

Although it's possible to have a television/monitor technician to correct severe cases of this problem, it's better to replace the monitor with a new one (quality 17" CRTs are now affordable).
