For CRT, that is most likely the monitor. If it was LCD, then it would
more likely be the video card or software (or settings). I would buy a
can of compressed air and try to blow out the inside of your CRT monitor
if possible. I had an old 19" MAG CRT monitor that was showing the
whole screen with a red tint until I tapped it, but then it would come
back after a while. Used a can of compressed air to try and blow the
dust out and it worked for another year before it finally failed to turn
back on.
