Monitor death throes? - Cyan Fuzz on my Screen

Hey all. So, I've had my 24 inch Westinghouse for awhile now, but our relationship has been running into problems as of late. A few days ago, I turned it on, only to see a ton of cyan/blue "fuzz" dominating the left-most portion of my screen. Here's a photo of it, for reference:

So, I went into troubleshooting mode. I hooked it up to my 360 and ran a few games, just to see if it wasn't a video card issue. The blue fuzz showed up in each of them, so it's not anything in the computer. Then, I tried swapping out different connection ports (I'm usually hooked up to my PC through HDMI, but I tried DVI in this case), which still produced the blue fuzz that you see above.
So, I'm going to assume that there's not much to do, aside from buying a new monitor. If you either know what it is or know how to fix it, that would be splendid. Thanks, all.

At least you can still use it as a secondary monitor. I had one that did something like that in the middle of the screen, making it totally unusable.
Guess I'll go searching for a replacement, in that case. Thanks for the diagnosis.
I also have a blog!
