My laptop's screen is acting up and causes any pictures/videos playing on it to have a green/pink tinge on them hence preventing me from viewing the image properly.

I have an Acer laptop that I bought Nov, 2005. It works great, but I think the resolution (?) is dying. Every time I turn it on, for about the first 30–45 min or so, all images/videos played on the screen have green/pink tinges on them (kind of like when you put a “body heat” effect on an image, and it focuses colors on specific parts), and so I cannot watch movies or see pictures until it becomes okay. The tinge effect is also on the desktop background. I know this probably doesn’t make much sense because it is hard to describe, but I think this is what is called a resolution problem? Anyways, any solution for fixing it without having to buy a new laptop? (poor college student here). Please feel free to ask for clarifications and thank you for helping! PS – I cannot take a screenshot, because on your computer the picture will show without the tinge effects…i think.
