Thescreen corner has turned a pinky red and green?

Most answers here are correct (even though some have added some nonsense). Something magnetic has magnetized your crt (screen). Make sure speakers and any other magnetic materials are at least two feet away from your screen. Your monitor should have an automatic degausser (demagnetizer) that will clear it up next time you turn it on from a cold start. Some speakers are "shielded" against stray magnetic fields. These are ok to place next to your screen. If the built in degausser is not working, you can get a degausser at a well stocked electronics shop. But there's a trick to using it properly, so hopefully you won't need to use one. Good luck.

We could suspect that your pixels are dead but you did not specify the type _ crt - lcd if it is an lcd monitor there are some good indications that it got hit there by something and that the plastics is too tight there but you could also be experiencing problems with your graphics card ( but that is a diferent story if you suspect on it try instlling the newest drivers).

Is there a Speaker near that corner? A magnet will change the surface of a color T.V. Move it and with luck it will fade in awhile ( Moonth or so )

this is caused by the speakers which are placed too close to the monitor...caused by the magnetic interference betweem ur crt screen and the speakers..place the speakers a little away from the screen..or go for a lcd monitor...

yeah yeah... it's a magnet problem. but what you really need to know is how to fix it. Try this link...it could help and if not it's fun making colourful patterns on your screen. Try watching a film with all the colour messed up. It's quite funny.

going off your description i take it that you are using an old box style monitor. this happens from time to time and degauzing it will help. use your monitors menu buttons to do this. if it is really old and doesnt have them put a hammer through the glass and buy a tft/lcd/flat screen/modern/non - dinosaur model monitor. you choose a word. hehe.

As stated a magnetic source woudl do this to a CRT screen (old box type TV), you can cure it by a process called de-gauzing.

probably a magnet interfering with the electro-magnetics of your screen. Move it if you haven't already and you may prevent permanent damage. The same thing happens to tvs -speakers (especially subwoofers) have powerful magnets in them.

Sounds like the tube is about to go. Do yoou have a radio above it? It could be interferance from another electrical source

you could check you've nothing with a magnetic field near the monitor as I think that might affect it - it affects my TV!
