Bah - come to sherdog. We have geeks too.
Anyway, the problem is likely one of a couple things:
1) A pin is broken on the monitor cable (just pull it out and look) or the cabling might be loose or bent up. Pull the cable out, put it back, see if it helps - jiggle and massage the cable a bit.
or:
2) The magnetic flux on the monitor is screwed (for example, if the monitor was near something with a magnetic field, such as an amplifier or subwoofer, etc). You can fix this by a) power down the monitor for a few minutes, then power back up; b) hit the degauss button if you've got one (usually looks like a horseshoe), c) Take a magnet and "comb" away the color - by rubbing the magnet radially on the screen, or d) professionally degaussing the monitor (I can send you a link to how to fake this at home - if you see some results from option c - but it isn't doing enough - then this might be your path).
It is possible that your monitor is shot (one of the color guns is lose or fried). Loose ones are common, but I recommend you not try and DYI that problem, as you might fry yourself.
