In a white screen, this appears pink. It became noticeable several months ago.
The only solution is probably a LCD replacement. But I have decided against spending. I would probably move back to Windows PCs in a couple of years.
I would like to ask the users in the community who have this issue - what long would it take before the screen becomes usable? Few more months or years?
Dear iMac users
Anyway, anyone who has this issue, try leaving screen on at 75% maximum brightness for about 30 minutes. The discoloration faded, although I can still see a little bit of pink tint at the edge on a white screen.

Greetings tay292,
What we can recommend, when experiencing a hardware issue is to have your device inspected by an Apple Authorized Service tech. They would be able to provide more information on what steps are available to resolve it and what the cost would be. Then you’d be able to determine if that is something you want to proceed with. Here’s a link to the Mac repair site where you can get started with that - Mac Repair & Service
As for speculating on the life of a computer/device; that’s not something we, within the community, nor Apple can predict for you. While a hardware issue can happen suddenly, do be sure to keep a backup of your data. The following article goes over the different ways to do that with additional links then that have the step by steps on how to - How to back up your Mac
Thanks.
The screen was sensitive to heat. After using for a while the color fringing appeared but disappeared after shutting down
I guess these older iMac should be used in aircon environment and avoid exposure to indirect sunlight.
i could not edit the post about turning the brightness up. Nope this would not help.
not sure if those M1 iMac has such issue
Ok mystery solved! It was bizarre but closing the curtains to block out INDIRECT sunlight make the screen normal again!!
Whew... who knew! :) 👍
