Thanks for the post!
To answer your question the blue tint is visible right away on power up.
Sorry if I wasn't too clear in the first post. I have tried the same monitor and cable on another tower and the display was fine. So I figured my video card crapped out but my brand new card didn't solve the problem. So I think my monitor, cable and video card should be fine which is why I am so perplexed.
Thanks again
