   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 
	...

Well, I'm not so sure about this...

...but, more often, a problem like this tends to be related to something
nearby the monitor generating a magnetic field.  Try moving the monitor
to a different location (away from speakers, telephones, wires, pipes in
the wall, etc.) and see if the funny colors change or go away.  More
expensive video monitors typically have a degaussing button which sort of
make the monitor acclimate to its magnetic surroundings, but you'll
probably have to just move it around until the picture looks better.
