    if it's a purple tinge, but the graphics are viewable, it's probably a loose wire in the vga cable thats plugged into the graphics card, or a bent pin.

    If it goes totally purple, it could be just a monitor that slipped through testing, getit replaced

    Is it a standard monitor cable you're using or a BNC one?

    (BNC, easy enuff to spot, when it plugs into the monitor you get seperate colour cables). Better quality, but also more expensive.
