Monitor Problem

My computer monitor recently faces a problem whereby there appears to be a greyish shade on top of its normal color. There is also blinking which affects the brightness of the greyish shade. When it's not so serious only certain colors get distorted but sometimes all the colors are distorted. Any reason why this happens? Thank you

I had the colors get distorted like this and had a heck of a time finding it, but it was a bad connection on the connector from the monitor to the video card.

this may be of help...........
