Is this just a sink on green issue? My 4:3 LCD this happens sadly.
I ordered an original video cable as I can an original VGA convert I'm going to try next.
But are there better 3rd party VGA converts that work better?
I'm using a Griffin 1-8 switch one at the moment.

Got one of these 1-10 switch ones as it has a specific switch for "Sync on Green".
Hopefully that also just works.

For now, you could try your monitor's "Auto" function. It may recalibrate for each color's black voltage level.

I had a similar issue on my Quadra 700 running System 7.1. Try to install the Apple Basic Color Monitor Extension and/or the Apple Display Software. This might resolve it…

Green Tint now goes away once computer boots & I use the 10 switch adapter I got with pins 2,3,5,6 ON.
Other adapters still don't work.
Here is the adapter I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/271137033572
