The first thing to check is the monitor cable and any extension cables. I
once had a customer whose office monitor turned yellow. The background was
a distinct yellow haze. After verifying the video card by checking with
another monitor I ordered a replacement monitor. When I pulled the <bad >
monitor out from the tangle of wires behind the desk I realized that it was
plugged into a short extension and was not cable locked. The connection
between the monitor cable and the extension cable had backed off a
millimeter which was enough to break a connection with one of the pins
resulting in the loss of full color bandwidth. I pushed it together and it
worked normally.

Fortunately when UPS delivered the new monitor they were walking up the
exterior steps of the building and the monitor fell out of the bottom of
the box !! The customer witnessed all this and refused delivery on my
behalf so I ended up not being charged for a return!
