could you post a picture of it? If it's a hardware issue, then I doubt there is an easy or cost-effective fix.

No, It's not the Pc problem if you meant that by hardware. I tested on 2 PC's and both got a pink screen Hue. I'm starting to suspect that the Monitor Display is damaged and the green Light isn't as bright as it should be.

I meant the monitor physically was damaged. It probably is.

It probably is, I wouldn't be surprised. But, I hope to find a new Display for it, because i cans ee that there is a little line of pixels that show the correct colour.
