    Same cable as you're using for your other sources? Have you tried another HDMI display such as your TV?

    a couple things come to mind when I hear this issue..

    Try dif resolution sizes try 1280x768 if possible.

    also make sure that nothing else is connected to the monitor that could be back feeding electricity, as i have seen this produce a pink screen.
    So just your laptop on battery, and the monitor nothing else see if it does it.

    try unplugging the tv from power holding the power button down while its unplugged and drain capacitors. then plug back in at test.

    honestly its prob the hdmi port on the LCD or the cable you are using, since the laptop port works on other LCD's
