I do not see a red tint?

Chris, i am referring to the overcoloured red text , please check this image, i rounded off  for your better understanding of the issue.its not the tint but the overlapped colour around the text.

FYI, its rev A00 and i bought this monitor two months back

Thanks for your response

I just don't see it. Do you see it when in safemode? If yes, get the monitor replaced. If not, this is a video card driver or video card issue.

Dear Oscars2209,

I was having the same trouble with my monitor too. The solution is provided by the Dell phone support in Sweden. Here are the steps to do: 

1) If you run Vista, go to Personalize/Window Color and Appearance/Effects.

2) Select "Standard" method to smooth edges of screen fonts instead of "ClearType".

3) Press OK/Apply. That's it!!! The text looks sharp and consistent now.

They fixed it in a second or two. Good job! No need to replace monitor...

Best regards,
