I have a Samsung SyncMaster 793s and suddenly today when i switched my PC on,my monitor color was a tinted Yellow
I tried my system on a friends monitor and its working fine
So the problem is with the CRT monitor
Thoughts ?

Check the cable on the CRT. If its loose, has pins bent it does produce color effects as you mentioned.

Cable problem. You can get it repaired for a few hundred bucks.

Try Degauss once.
then check cables,if both doesn't work then the problem is with IC on board.
that can be fixed by 400-500 bucks.

I did check the cables and the pins seems to be fine
And did degaussing but nothing
I guess,I have to submit the monitor to the local PC hardware dealer :(

just try to replace the cable once before going to the service shop, if that fails then it could be the tube

I tired that as well but i guess i'll have to give it to the service shop
or maybe even get a Samsung 2033SW 20 inch which is also a decent monitor i guess

yes upgrading to a 20' LCD seems like a good option :) go for it

Go into monitor panel menu
And see if the K! value is 9300 and NOT 6300.
