Hello,

This problem happens to me sometimes when I accidentally touch the
video cable, or bump the table.  The monitor goes pink, and turning
it on and off, or rebooting, makes no difference.

When this happens, I wiggle the video cable connectors at both the
monitor end of the cable, and the computer end of the cable, and
the colors go back to normal.  Either the connectors are loose or
need to be reseated, or possibly the video cable is going bad.

This is a more likely occurrence, than the monitor going bad.
