LG IPS234v Pink Tint

[Bounty_Bam]

It first happened a few months ago, a dominant pink tint came across the left of my monitor. I was messing around with the buttons on the monitor and that solved it. But now it's back, and I've tried everything I can possibly think of:

• Reinstall GPU

It was only today that I received my brand new 7870 GPU (some of you may of seen my post regarding a GPU choice - thanks!).

• Uninstall Monitor Drivers

• Check power supply to GPU

• Check all cables are firmly in place

... the pinkness is STILL there. After looking closely, I can just about work out a VERY faint image of what appears to be an address bar embedded/"burnt" onto the desktop too.
I plugged my PC to my old monitor via a DVI cable (that monitor has no HDMI) and it's absolutely fine.

I've contacted LG regarding the situation.. but lets not sugar-coat the situation here - am I looking at getting a replacement monitor?

I'm inclined to say yes... this kind of thing can be tricky because you don't know whether it's the GPU or monitor that's at fault. Fact that you've just installed a new card though and the problem persists means it probably is a faulty monitor. At least it's under warranty!

I would also say yes.
