A user reports that the images displayed on their monitor have an unusual tint, making all colors look slightly green. The monitor is using a VGA connection. What is the FIRST action you should take to troubleshoot this issue?
Reinstall the video drivers on the computer.
Adjust the color settings within the operating system.
Check that the VGA cable is securely connected and examine it for bent pins.
Typically, an incorrect color display that gives off a specific color tint, like green, indicates a problem with the cable connection. Checking the connection to ensure that the VGA cable is securely seated on both the monitor and the computer is a primary step in resolving this issue. A loose or damaged pin within the VGA connector can cause certain colors not to display correctly.
