Monitor turned pink

Hi,
I have a 23inch IPS monitor and now left side of screen is pink and with some lines, and it blinks from time to time. It's not cable, it's not graphic card... It's monitor that is causing this problem. I tried and conect it with other PC and it's the same.
How is it even possible for a one year old monitor to just breaks down?

It's not common but certainly is possible. I've had new components that I've ordered for my system builds that did not work right out of the box! And I've had new components that have failed after only a few weeks. Stuff happens....

Monitor turned pink!!! help!!

I just got a new mac mini, OS 10.5.x (updated) I connected it to a Magnavox LCD display that happens to be also a TV. The connexion (VGA using apple DVI to VGA adaptor) worked fine for 2 weeks, now, every time I turn on the computer, the screen is dyed PINK!! it is horrible. The weird thing is that I can watch perfectly the tv on the same monitor. I already recalibrated the color profile of the monitor but it does nothing but making it a little bit less pink because I am changing the white setting to more blueish.
Anyone has any idea??? If it was not because I can perfectly watch tv on the same monitor I would think it is the screen.
Somebody please help
thanks,
Veronica

Usually a color tint change like that is due to your cable and adapter connections not being tight.
Agreed, but it can also be a damaged wire in the cable so if after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable and adapter the problem still remains I would suggest trying a new cable.

Apple TV turns Pink via HDMI?

Hey all, I just installed AppleTV for in a client's home theatre. He's using a Denon AVR-3808ci which has a plethora of HD sources going into it and everything works well. Last week I installed AppleTV via HDMI and after about an hour of usage, the main menu screen turned pink? We changed sources on his amp, then flipped back to AppleTV and it was gone, until 10 minutes later, he went to youtube, then came back to the main screen and it was pink again.
I swapped out the HDMI cable, which is a high quality 1.3 rated cable by the way, and it went away but came back again when he changed sources on the amp? Has anyone experienced this? I searched the forum for similar issues and saw one "green screen of death" thread so I was curious is anyone else experiencing this HDMI video sync issue? Thanks for reading.

Mine is a bit more conditional than yours but I have seen this happen.
I have a Vizio 60" Plasma Which I connect a variety of sources to. Problem with it is, the remote does not have discrete selection to the 4 HMDI ports. You can only select them with the HDMI button and scroll until you get to the correct port. I use a Harmony Universal Remote and this just was not working for me.
Anyway, to solve this I purchased an HDMI 5 port switch. I have an Xbox 360, PS3, Upscaling DVD Player, HD Cable Tuner, and the Apple TV connected to it.
It is not uncommon, and almost near consistent that when I switch to the ATV from another source, the first few seconds will show a pink screen. It will then clear and be fine for the rest of the time.
I had this same issue when I had a Media Center PC outputting a DVI signal converted to HDMI. This was consistently happening and I finally disconnected it because of this.
My advice would be to first try directly connecting the ATV to the tv/monitor and seeing if you get the same problem. If not, you can almost be sure the problem is with the Denon receiver and not with the ATV. In my experience with HDMI, problems like these are almost always a product of the switch.

Screen turned pink

the monitor of my laptop has turned pink. I can see the pages and videos and everything but not in the normal resolution, its as if there is a transparent pink curtain is placed on the monitor. i hav recently put a new 1tb HD while previously it was installed with 500gb HD, which crashed, so the replacement was done. has this by any chance affected the display?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2226tu Notebook and issues with the pink screen displaying after a HDD repair. Here is a link to a document that will help you troubleshoot the image on screen flickers, has lines or distorted colors. Have you connected a monitor to the Notebook to check if it happens there as well?If this does not display on the Monitor it could be a connection issue with the LCD screen. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Display Turns Pink

Yesterday for no apparent reason when I logged back into Yosemite after my computer went to sleep, everything turned pink. I am not the only one to have this problem. It has been observed in Mavericks as far back as July of this year. Though I am happy it is not an issue with my monitor I would still like to correct this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey there William,
It sounds like your monitor is taking on a pink hue when waking from sleep. I would use these steps from the following article, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

Have my MacBook Pro plugged into a monitor and also using a wireless keyboard. I want to close the macBook but every time I do the monitor turns off - is there a way to avoid this?

Press any key on the wireless keyboard after you close the MBP and it goes to sleep. The computer will wake up with the external monitor as its display. This is called Clamshell mode.

Monitor turning off strangely

Hello folks,
I'm having a strange issue with a computer I use as a media center. XFCE4 running on Arch. Everything works great except for the fact that the monitor turns off at random. It's not frequent, but once every 10-20 minutes it will happen. Now the weird thing is that the video playback continues, when I move the mouse the monitor wakes up and the video has been playing.
I even tried power settings where nothing ever turns off, but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas or similar problems?

I can think of 2 options.
One is the screensaver...
The other is your dpms settings. I have in my ~/.xresources file
xset -dpms s off &
to turn it off.

Screen turns pink and flickers

Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem:
My screen randomly turns pinks and then starts flickering and then a few moments later it stops for a few minutes and then begins the process again. I have no idea how it began. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
It would be great if anyone knew how to solve this answer.
With regards,
Jean-Pierre

Howto set monitor resolution when I start with the monitor turned of ?

Hello,
I use the onboard Intel HD 4000 to display on my Dell monitor which works out of the box with native 2560x1600 resolution as long as I boot with the monitor turned on (both console and X11).
The problem is that sometimes I don't boot with the monitor being powered on and just need the monitor later.
I found in aur the program read-edid which gives me the needed info in case my monitor isn't powered at boot.
How could I use that information, for the console (I guess it's relared to grub2) and for X11 ?
Thank you very much !!!

This is related to KMS.

5-day old iPad screen turns Pink & more

Hi,
I've just bought 2 iPads 3G, 64GB while on a trip to London, UK. I now came back to my country and one of the iPad just turned pink.
Because of the bulk, I discarded the iPad packaging/boxes before I flew back, and wonder if I can return the defective iPad without its box?!
Any thoughts on this is greatly welcomed!
(To be honest, I would expect a working product when it cost 700 GBP, and has an Apple logo...)
Cheers,
Z0A2010

As far as I'm aware the warranty is worldwide. Whilst in the Apple store in Regent Street here in London several times recently I've seen a lot of foreigners buying iPads which I doubt would be the case if the warranty was country specific. I think the only exception when it comes to Apple products is the iPhone which has a warranty only valid in the country of origin.

My iphone 4 screen turned pink.

I was excercising and I don't know if moisture got into my phone. It was working fine afterwards and then shut off without warning. The screen then turned pink. I was able to press the Home and power button and got the screen to shut off but now the phone won't turn on. Help please

i have pressed the lock screen and home button for 10 seconds to restart it and now the corners are white and flickering continuously however im able to operate my phone now so how do i sort out this white corners flickering

ITunes Turned Pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When connecting my Nano Video and opening iTunes, the summary etc. sections have turned pink. iTunes works fine its just annoying that its pink instead of white. Everything else in my computer is fine only iTunes.

I must strongly agree with you!
I have been using iTunes 6 for years, using MS Remote Desktop to control iTunes on an XP box as a "jukebox" via my Macs, and with several XPe tablets. No reason to waste a Mac just to play music, and there is no RDC Server for Macs anyway. RealVNC is just too slow.
I only upgraded to iTunes V8 to use the new Apple remote on my iPhone.
I am very unhappy about the rediculous requirement to use 32 bit color setting to run iTunes.
Now ALL of my RDC clients look a crappy shade of pink, even on my XPe client tablets. You cannot run MS RDC in 32 bit color unless you use Vista (no way I am installing that turkey), or Server 2003, which is overkill for a music server.
Apple are you listening?
Please, just make an option for a 16 bit palette in iTunes!!!!
I don't care about cover flow, or anything other than the main browser panel when running iTunes as a remote jukebox!!
Since this issue is affecting all of my clients, I may just have to uninstall iTunes V8, and reinstall iTunes V6... which is a way simpler and less bloated app anyway... and just forget about my iPhone remote client.
I really hate it when features are hoisted on end-users, requiring changing everything.
You should be able to disable or tune off eye candy crap like cover flow, or Genius or at least offer a scaled down host version of iTunes for remote applications.
They have totally ruined my whole Jukebox setup with this damned 32 bit requirement!!!
Nice going.

IPad's screen turned pink and flashing

All of a sudden, my iPad's screen turned pink. Tried resetting but did not help. The screen is now red/pink-ish and flashing. I, of course, did not drop it or anything like that.
Is this a hardware problem? is it fixable by a user?

I just had mine replaced and it is betterr than the original.
Holds the 3G signal better.
i bought one as soon as they came out, so there is probably a bit of a higher failure rate for the first models.
You are basically getting a new one and you have a year from the purchase to extend the warranty.
I would not give up my Ipad.
I look at laptops now and they seems like dinosaurs.

Why do RAW Images Turn Pink?

When I take unedited RAW images to an external harddrive, they turn pink. The RAW images have there true colors in the PSE Organizer, but whether I "Export as a New File' or drag & drop the images to the new file in the External Harddrive they turn pink. The JPEG image twin shows its true colors in the external harddrive.
This did not happen until I downloaded the RAW converter Version 7.4 update about 10 days ago. Now it happens consistently.
Any ideas what is going on and/or what I can do about it?

This isn't an easy problem to solve, I believe! So THANK YOU everyone for trying to help me out here!! I really appreciate that!
I haven't tried to create a new Windows account on my computer yet, because I first want to share something interesting I discovered today.
But before I share that, I want you to know the following:
- All the images I'm using are located in the same folder where they have always been, on my internal harddrive. I've been using those images a dozen times from the exact same location, and in the same InDesign version (and also the same Photoshop version CS6 64-bit)!
- I've tried to change some pixels in the image, save under another name and replace it, but it didn't help.
- The page I've given you earlier is just ONE of several in a journal I'm making. Three more images in this journal turns out wrong in the PDF. I've created a new document with all the four images, and I've uploaded a package of the InDesign document to the web page, for you to check.
Today I discovered that the result of the PDF export varies if I change PDF Export Preset. Take a look at the PDFs I uploaded to the web page.
1. If I export using a low resolution preset, all the images are shown wrong, and there's a dark gray color.
2. If I export using a high resolution preset, all the images are shown correctly.
3. If I export using the print settings I've always used when sending it to the Print House, some of the images are shown wrong, and the gray color is made with stripes.
Does this give you a clue?
