Just an interesting tidbit and possible solution to your problem.. 

It's probably a little known fact that monitors and TV's are produced
for the hemisphere that they will be used in (Well,I didn't know). If 
you bought your monitor in say Australia and brought it to the US or 
where ever North of the Equator you would have probably the same 
effect that you mentioned in one corner of the monitor. Try (I know
this sounds insane) turning your monitor up-side down and see if the
colors snap back to normal. For the curious like me try turning your
monitor on its head and check it out it really whacks out. I read
that it has something to do with the polarity of the Earths Magnetic
field at your local. BIZZARREE .
