All the cords are fine, of course.

If you're able to, what about sending us a photograph?
Of what I'm seeing?  

I finally was able to get through to Acer yesterday and they seemed a little befuddled, saying it might be a video card problem or the monitor, so I tried it out on a different system, had the same results, so I'm going to try and send it back today.

    Is that a photograph or a screenshot? Because if it is a screenshot, it will look fine on our monitors!

    Ahhh.  Now I have a new problem.

    Ugh.  I was toggling with various control pannel settings pertaining to monitors to try and see if maybe there was some button that would fix it before sending it in, and I went through this: Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Intel(R) Extreme Graphics -> Graphics Properties -> Devices -> Monitor Settings -> Basic

    Then adjusted the brightness and contrast somewhat, the contrast wouldn't return back for some reason so I hit "cancel" and now for some reason my computer looks hardcore blue discolored like this:


    And I can't get it back.  Help.

      You are sending screenshots and not photos, so they look completely fine to us, because our monitors are not the ones with the problem!

        If the monitor behaves identically on a different system, with the proper "drivers" for the monitor installed, I think you can reasonably safely say that the monitor has a fault.  It shouldn't be this hard to configure such a generic monitor.  Contact your supplier for further assistance.
        Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

        Yeah, sorry about the screenshots.  I didnt' realize, but I see now.  Anyway, I fixed the color and sent in the monitor today.  Thanks for the help everyone, though.
