First, the link to the picture shows no problem.
Getting more red on the screen is typical of the faulty Nvidia graphics chips when they fail. Did you hook up to a flat panel or an older tube TV? A bad video chip can look OK when attached to a tube set or monitor by a VGA cable. An HDMI hookup to a flat panel will show the problem. If the video chip has failed and you are not under warranty, the repair from Dell will be expensive; $400 or so.

i tried it on a lcd tv with a VGA cable and it was ok... as i have read in the internet it might be the LCD Ribbon Cable ... the problem is fixed now ...
