check you cables...

Check connection at your video output on the computer itself and the rear of the monitor.

Try wiggling (gently) the connection and see if some color changes. Try an different (new or known to work) cable.

Other than that it the monitor itself could be damaged.

good luck to ya

This ended up being a problem with the VGA port on my PC... I recently installed a GPU for the "first time" and noticed it was not displaying red. It shows up fine through HDMI... It was a new GPU and the install did not go as smoothly as it could have, so I think it was something I did...
