ya, i tried the degauss thing, it clicked a couple times. i dont have 
anything except a plethora of beer bottles near the monitor, so its not 
magnetic..

well, by that i meant i set the green or red a bit higher or lower and 
it looked good. then i would come back and realize it was way off.. i 
dont know if that makes sense, but the longer i look a the monitor, the 
more it looks ok. only when i come back to it after a while can i see 
that the colors are really off(probably due to my screwing with them :)

thanks for the help :)
