Macbook Pro Display Issue

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that was purchased in November of 07. It does have the nvidia 8600m GT graphics card.

Recently, I have been having some issues with my display. At first, I started to just have a distored view. It would be very blurry and fuzzy and then would turn back to normal. It has gotten more and more frequent in the past month and this past weekend, I couldnt get the blurriness to go away and the screen is tinted green.
In addition to this, the screen has completely frozen on me(had weird lines and display although the computer was still running) and one time it booted with a black screen, however everything was running(volume buttons, etc. worked)
When I plug the computer into an external display, everything seems to be fine. Its just that the laptops monitor is completely blurry and tinted green. Is this a graphics card/logic board issue or a monitor issue?

Yes, I have seen them. I had a genious run a test on it last week and he said that all passed. Told me that it might be the display and that it can be replaced for $310.

Also, I took a screenshot and opened it on another computer. It came out looking fine which leads me to think that it is the monitor and not the logic board/graphics card.
