Weird viewing angles (monitor)

So I noticed a few minutes ago (because I was sitting on the floor while using my PC) that if I look at the following (or anything else with the "|" character) from an extreme viewing angle (vertical only) the characters appear to change color (for me green and purple). This happens in multiple fonts in all programs….

Anyone else have this phenomenon? It's just the "|" character lol.

They're all green for me except the last | in each line. That last one is blue.
green green … green blue

Funny thing is if I cross my eyes so that I see double, the ones on the left is blue, while the ones on the right are green.

If I tilt my screen forward, they're purple. They're green when I tilt it backwards, but like you said, only the | characters…

Try crossing your eyes when you tilt your screen.

I believe it has something to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction
or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refraction
