Re: Dell P2412h LED monitor shows pink tint in white screens
Thanks, Ifixstuff9, I was told by a tv repair guy that it's probably the T-Con board along the bottom of the panel, and not repairable (I tried to separate one once and of course just split the glass open as well) and not worth fooling with for a $45 monitor used. But it may be the LED as well; I had an old Sony clock radio where the LED display got dimmer and dimmer over time until you could only see it a bit at night so they can just wear out.

I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
