I have a 21" CRT monitor that doesn't show green. It hasn't since I moved it and it kinda got a little jarred in the process. Sometimes green comes back for a bit then it goes away again. Any reason to keep it or is repairing it feasible or should i just stick with the 15" flat panel I'm using now?

Thanks in advance.

Even if it wasn't broken go ahead and make the move to flat panel. Your eyes will thank you.

Well, I thought it was a broken pin since the cable was missing a pin after the move, but the new cable I hooked up to it didn't solve the lack of green problem, and said new cable gives green to the flat panel.

I know I'm getting old when I start to think techmology is witchcraft.
