[re monitor that displays green as white]

I did the monitor self test and it appears that the green is not
functioning properly. That is, the test shows four RGBW bars and the green
bar is showing almost all white with a slight green tint. All other bars
show the correct color.

So I am assuming that the green gun is shot.

Does that conclusion make sense? Guess it is time for a new monitor.

This does unusual enough that I would experiment further. In my experience
a gun always fails either by being on all the time, which in the case of the
green gun would create an overall green washed appearance, of off or at a
lower level, which would give everything a magenta cast.

What you are describing seems to be that the red and blue guns are kicking
in, but only when green is on. Normally the colors do not interract with
one another in this way, so this sounds like a moniitor adjustment issue to
me, rather than a failed gun.

You've probably been through all the settings by now. See if there is a
color temperature setting that might be set to a very low value, or some
other adjustment that might cause the self test to display incorrectly.
There should also be a global reset for the monitor's own firmware.
