Re: ViewSonic VX2235wm

I also have a ViewSonic VX2235wm. I found that this monitor has 4 of the following:
2.6 x 480mm CCFL backlight
You can purchase the required quantity on ebay for about $37 after shipping.
lcdparts.net and has extensive instructions on how to replace them, and also sells them.

Your monitor may have a pinkish tinge that you are not noticing. I found that it was more apparent when I looked at the bad-lamp monitor side-by-side with another monitor that was working properly. Please try this and report back if possible.
