Not really. That just means that your CCFL is on its last leg and a quarter, instead of being on its last leg...
No one can tell you how much time that LCD will last. It maybe two hours, or two years. But consider that pink/red hue a warning that a new one is in order, and fast. Good luck.

It's subtle, it's uniform, and it's consistent. (I.e.
