This usually means the display resolution settings on your PC are set too high for the monitor to display the signal. Try lowering the resolution on your PC.

It difficult to say what thing or things got damaged when they are reversed biased. If you are lucky it could just be a fuse, otherwise there could be a lot of components that could be damaged by the reversal. Only way to know the extend of the damage is to pop open the case and look inside. I would check if it has a fuse first and the condition of it and look for any obvious parts that were blown up. Unless you know how to troubleshoot electronics, it not worth the trouble to try to see if you can fix it considering how affordable LCD monitors have gotten.

You need to find menu button - it's got to be there somewhere. If you do find it, go to the "tools" menu (show a wrench and screwdriver), then select the "RECALL" option. Press then right and/or left arrow on that option. This fixed same problem on my SVA Monitor

Good Luck

It's not a "windows" problem. At the bottom of your monitor there should be a 'menu' button. Push the button and use the up and down, right and left arrows on your keyboard to scroll to color. Get the "red" color and adjust it down. You can also scroll through to 'contrast' and adjust that. You don't need to pay a bunch of bucks to have this fixed.
