Yup, it's common. We have five Pismos and one of them is exhibiting this problem. I think you can find detailed info. on this problem at either xlr8yourmac.com or macfixit... not sure which.
You can purchase a replacement lcd on ebay and do it yourself. Here is an incredible resource if you get into this...

Rumors were that it was the Samsung LCDs and not the LG LCDs that Apple used, but for me it was the opposite. I replaced an LG with a Samsung a few months ago and I've been fine ever since.
I just fixed my pismo, and when I turn it on the lcd is very red and then after about the time it takes to get to the log in screen the red
tinting is gone, is this a common thing on pismos, or do I need to start looking for a new lcd for mine?
it works great other than this, and it doens't bother me at all, but I
was wondering if this means its failing or something?
