Anyone played with PMW-200 and found that the LCD monitor is too warm?

I just brought the new PMW-200, however, the LCD always make me feel I got a wrong white balance. EVF and file recorded in the card looks the same as EX1 and EX3, but the LCD got big different.

Any PMW-200 got the same issue? or it is my camera's fault, I need to replace a new one with Sony?

The color of my photo may not 100% accurate, however, the color difference is like what you see in my comparison!
If you are a EX1/r EX3 owner, you will feel comfort with the color of the LCD after you got the right WB. But when I use PMW-200 now, I am not sure I got a wrong WB if the difference is under 1000K!

When I shoot these photos, I am in a room without any light, and3 meter away of my right hand side is the windows, it is the sun light at 4pm

Whether the color is different or not doesn't matter to me because I would NEVER judge white balance (or exposure) just by how the image looks on the LCD. It wouldn't even matter to me if the LCD was B&W, in fact, I'd much rather have a traditional high-resolution B&W CRT if I had the choice.
 
both camera are PP OFF, and the color are close to each other when they connect to external monitor or view in EVF. So, it is the issue on the LCD.
 
one more issue on the PMW-200 LCD is that, the PMW200 LCD sharpness is much lower then EX1, it is quite difficult to know i am in focus. I always need to switch on the peaking funtion, but ex1 don't need
 
I think the new model {pmw200} should be better than the old one {ex1r}. sony did the tricky part, to make the angle of view better and they failed the easy one, to display proper colors, sharpness and contrast. Anyway, you can turn viewfinder to B+W mode, but you will always wonder why the lcd is so dark and green.
