Computer screen has been a greenish color when I turn the computer on laterly. Sometimes the proper light and bright color comes back. Is the light bulb in the computer failing? If that is true, can it be repaired or do I have to get a new monitor.

It's definatly the screen.
Magnets near the screen will cause a flicker not a change in colour. If you move the data cable around an dthe colour comes right then its the data cable, if not then read futher.
Your problem sounds like loose wiring inside the screen or a DRY SOLDER JOINT/s. Dry solder joints can be fixed by resoldering. An electronics expert should be able to spot any dry solder joints and repair the fault for you. It will most likely cost about half the price of buying a new monitor. If you give the screen a smack when it's green does it come right? if yes the it's definitly loose wiring inside the screen or a dry solder joint (after you ruled out the data cable of course).
My monitor goes yellow every often, i smack it and it's right again for a month or so.
More info: a computer monitor uses 3 colours to create all colour on the screen, you proably know this already, Red, Green and Blue. So a greenish colour could indicate a problem with the signals being sent to the circuit (due to solder joint or other)which controls the the electron guns (not sure what the proper name is) which will affect the color naturally.

Could be bad cables to monitor, videocard, or monitor going bad. Or may just need a good deguassing. I would have it checked out. Have you tried connecting another monitor? If it doesn't happen on the second monitor most likely the monitor is going bad. If it does then try cables and videocard.

Time for a new monitor. CDW has 17" Flat pannel monitors for cell for 155 where a 17" CRT is 144. The monitor is going dead. it will hold the greenness for a few months then completely die.

If some times it looks correct, then 100% problem is with your Monitor data cable.
Cable could be damaged or some points could be messed with others. You can test it with moving cable from different points specially where it connects with computer Graphic Card(VGA) or with replacing or repairing your monitor data cable.

Your monitor is failing. It is almost never cost-effective to repair a monitor.

OK, this could be stupid question, but you don't have a magnet anywhere near your computer do you?
Sounds to me like its time to buy a new monitor. They are more expensive to fix than to replace.

I t sounds to me more like the data cable is broken. If you are lucky and your screen has a removable data cable, you can try to substitute before buying a new screen.

First of all re-install driver of your monitor hard-ware. and if that does not help , contact a hard-ware expert so that he can check your monitor for some hard-ware problems.
