It sounds like something in your monitor or video adaptor.

That, or yes, you're going crazy.  ;)

Did you take the red pill or the blue?

I dont claim to have any idea what the issue is, but you could try zooming in. Vertical letters might be aligning directly over the green cell in the pixel... ehh, I doubt it. But it would be interesting to see if it grows with the font size.

Turn the monitor back to0 its haedware defaults, usually small buttons on the bottom or the side will access its internal menus - just hit defaults all round.

If still like it ...

Zap the driver, and purge any directory related to the screen, reload the driver.

If you are still getting the green tinges, my guess would be the screen is on its way out - get it tested in a local hardware shop.

zooming out one level [alt] +scroll wheel so I'm not sure exactly how much zoom got rid of it completely

there's about three zoom levels in total where it appears I also noticed before that viewing angle seems to play a part of it i have a low chair so I tend to look up at the monitor when standing and looking down at it the green lines turned pink

I just never noticed it on any other forums or anywhere else
