I was just playing a game on my monitor and now my monitor has a pink tink. I turned it off and back on and it didn't do anything i unplugged the hdmi cable and even when I go in the menu of the monitor it is pink. So it cant be my computer or graphics card. The model is asus vx238. If anyone knows of a fix for this that would be great.

If the monitor you have is of the Lcd type any screen distortion or color patterns can mean the LCD display has been damaged due to excessive pressure applied to it when cleaning the screen for example.
If the display develops any sort of fine hair line crack, the result can be what you are seeing on your monitor screen.

If you have, or know the monitor has not been dropped, hit or excessive pressure applied to the screen it`s self.
Then it can mean that the ribbons used in the monitor internal to the case have moved or become unfixed from the connection points from the main circuit board of the monitor, to the lcd display ribbon contact points.

This will cause all manner of problems such as what you see from a pink tinge other than...
The cause is your video cable from your pc to the monitor.
Either one of the ends of the cable is loose and needs to be pushed in on the monitor connector, or where the cable end connects to the graphics card output video display port.

Or the current video cable you have has a broken wire withing the cable and why you get a slight pink tinge to the monitors display screen ok.
 


but even when the hdmi isnt plugged in, so the monitor is just getting power, and i turn on the monitor the logo is pink.

This will cause all manner of problems such as what you see from a pink tinge other than pure white to screen color patterns or a loss of part of the image on the screen.

It is possible to fix this problem by inspecting the ribbon connection cables internal to the monitor in question.
If the monitor is a few years old, also a bad capacitor that is not working right may need to be replaced on the main board or display driver board of the monitor to remove the pink like twinge.

The last problem that can go wrong deal with how the monitor get`s what we call it`s white light.
A bright white light that is used behind the physical lcd display panel so the user on the other side can see the image generated by the lcd screen its self.

Two types exist cold cathode white back lighting, and Lcd based lighting.
Both will exhibit a pink tinge on the user viewing side of the monitor if the wite back light, or white lcd setup fail on the top, bottom of the internal reverse of the monitor.

This is a list of faults to look for when the monitor exhibits the description you have described when in use, and often one solution will fix the lcd based screen if attempted.

My monitor sometimes went pink with pink lines across the screen & would flicker every now & then. I traced it to an over-tight cable connection at the kvm box. I just loosened the screws a tiny bit.
Now, i dont know if the problem was the tight connection or if the kvm box is flaky but i aint investigating any further whilst the going is good.
