Although this is true (monitors made for the northern hemisphere can act
up below the equator and vice-versa) I think this is grasping at straws.

Sounds more like the convergence is off. A monitor uses three electron beams
(red, green, and blue) to produce the scan lines. In order to make a perfect
scan line, all three beams have to focus (converge) on the same spot.
If they don't you will get colored shadows around objects displayed on the
screen. 

You need to take it into a service center and get it reconverged.
Actually a TV service shop would probably be a better place to get it fixed up.
Most computer service centers don't have the equipment to adjust monitors.
Ask them first.
