The Color 'Red' is missing

Thanks for the heads-up Mart, I wasn't aware of that.
I thought it was only with LCD monitors.

Harry, unless you've got a faulty monitor (which is in doubt anyway!) or an
odd-ball make, all (CRT) monitors automatically degauss themselves on every
'cold' or 'warm' (return from standby) power-up. - If you listen carefully,
you may even hear the current surge through the degaussing coils immediately
the power is applied. - So it's very unlikely, unless you've got other
magnetic devices or fields close to your screen and/or you never down-power
your monitor) to be your problem.
