We tried 2 copies from the same dealer (probably same manufacturing batch) so if someone else has a copy with no blue tint, maybe it's only an issue with certain production runs.
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen it in person, the tint is very very obvious - this is not some minor color shift that your eye can get used to. It's bad enough that if you were to adjust tint/white balance by eye from the display, your image would actually be way way off in post. At this point my colleague won't trust the internal LCD for actual work, and we're back to having to mount an LCD on the camera for the time being.
We contacted BMD Asia support on the 28th of Feb (we're in Malaysia), and their reply was this:
Hi,
BMPCC 6K Pro is a HDR LCD, it is expected to be slightly different from other Blackmagic cameras .
We are aware of the slight blue tint and ts is expected. We will keep monitoring if that is an issue and see if that can be improve in firmware update.
At this moment, nothing we can do.
Followed by a link to the now removed youtube video, and a suggestion to try white balancing.
