I was wondering if you are colour blind but a quick google shows others have had this with various machines. A very brief trawl through showed lots of guesswork and no definitive solution. I suspect that this thread will join the google results with a similar outcome.
If it's a one off forget it. You've got 6 months now to find out if it is going to be regular - obviously if it is then it needs to go back otherwise you may end up with a machine that a six year old little girl would love in her bedroom but is otherwise useless.0 -
pink and red screens are quite common on LCD's. Know it is 95% a screen fault, but do knot know why always red.
I would love to know the electronic cause too.

I replace about a dozen a week, and haven't seen this yet.
On old PC monitors using tri-colour (blue/red/yellow) it was a cable fault that stopped the blue, hence the Pinking screen. I guess it's either a cable issue, an lcd controller board fault or dodgy graphics chip (Nvidia is usually the culprit)IT Field Service Engineer, 20 years with screwdriver and hammer
