Monitor suddenly has a heavy red tint

Turned the pc on this morning and everything looks pink-red. Checked night light, it's off. HDMI cable on a 1080p monitor. Cable, settings or is the monitor dying?

Pink/red all over usually means a colour channel is getting lost, and on HDMI that's nearly always the cable or the port. Reseat both ends, then try a different cable and a different port on the GPU. Still red? Open the monitor's own menu. That menu is drawn by the monitor itself, so if it looks tinted too, the problem is in the monitor. If the menu looks normal, it's the PC side: check the monitor didn't reset to a user RGB preset, and reset colour settings in the GPU control panel.
