Hello windows folks. Before I get on the phone to
complain about my monitor, I'd just like to check that
I am not doing something stupid.

I have 3.1 on a 4Mb 486 33DX. Paradise, SVGA, and 130 Meg.
I have multimedia, installed as part of Creative Labs 
upgrade package. (CD, SoundBlaster Pro etc...)

Every now and then, while running application, or just tooling
around on the desktop, my colors wash out, as if all the red
had been removed. This is annoying, to say the least. This
happens both when the monitor is warm (after a few hours)
and cold (soon after start up). Another clue is that it has
happened in a non-Windows app (from the DOS prompt). 
The monitor is a 14" SVGA capable, NI made by CTX (whoever
they are). 

My thought is that it is a physical prob with monitor. Any
*other* possible explanations would be very welcome.
