Explanation

Since the video card and drivers have already been eliminated as causes, the next logical suspect is the physical cable connecting the GPU to the monitor. A damaged or partially failed video cable (e.g., VGA, DVI) can lose one color channel - losing the green channel produces a pink/magenta tint. A burned-out bulb (B) would dim or darken the display, not add a color cast. Display burn-in (C) leaves ghost images, not a uniform hue. An incorrect data source (D) might show no signal or wrong resolution, but not a consistent color shift.
