I tried reseting the moniotor to default settings but it stayed the same.

You can try to manually degauss it by waving a small 110V electric motor in front of the screen, but it's probably just at the end of it's life.

By any chance is this an ATI video board? I love the response and versatility of ATI cards but when they age, they have a problem in losing some green-screen, which makes the screen a pinkish purple. I've had this exact same problem on three different computers with three different ATI video card models, the most recent being on my wife's machine. Never had the problem with NVidia, though.

You are using an analogue connection? Check the pins on the pc video port - they are not bent or broken off. A break in the cable may cause that too. Of course it would be easier to confirm if it is monitor fault by hooking it up to another machine.

If it is like this all the time, try having a look on the monitor for a 'temperature' setting.
Usually they default to 65000, which is ok in most cases but try changing it to a higher value, around 90000.
If you can't find a 'temperature' setting, try looking for phrases like 'cool' or 'warm'. You would need 'cool'.

Sounds like it could be a magnetic problem. Turn off the monitor, remove possibly magnetic or electrically interfering objects from the area, and turn the monitor back on.
