The problem is not with the monitor but with the software/hardware that
generates the colors. It seems that after the workstation runs for awhile
that the color table gets corrupted. The problem is usually most visible on
the shaded blue screen that appears when you shut the machine down. Instead
of seeing a continuous range of blue, some of the horizontal bars show up in
other colors. Sometimes it is just a few colors, sometimes most of them. I
personally suspect that the graphics hardware inside the unit is defective.
