Do you see the problem?

Conscious of pain, you're distracted by pain.
You're fixated on it. Obsessed by one threat, you miss the other.

So much more aware, so much less perceptive. An automaton could do better.

Are you in there?

Are you listening? Can you see?
My Dell SL2740 (27 inch 1920x1080 IPS) screen is now displaying everything, including its OSD, with a red tint. My other screen's fine.

I'm using a different power adapter (the screen comes with an external one), but one that meets the 12v/5amper specs. I tried two different such adapters.
Using Win 10 and powering with a GTX 1070.

Can't seem to find anything relevant on Google.

Any ideas? Is the screen borked? It's out of warranty by 3 months.

It might be the cable. Have you tried changing that?

Otherwise, I would suspect the monitor. Is there anyway to reset that to factory settings?

Does the OSD have a red tint even with no cable attached? If so then I'd really suspect the monitor is where the issue lies. Doing a factory reset is a good idea, too, as previously suggested.

Yeah, if your OSD is just as tinted, it's the internal cabling in the monitor. If you don't mind potentially breaking it, smack it a few times. But chances are, the issue will reoccur.

Edit: Obviously, "smack it" is a "before it ends up in the garbage" kinda solution.
