I don't think it's the age. At work I have two identical NEC LCD
monitors, bought at the same time. Both are connected to the same ATI
card, one on the digital output and one on the analog output. They too
show different color values, the one being much to green (I think the
one on the analog output, but I'm not sure) and the other perhaps just a
bit too red.

I've tried adjusting the colors using the controls provided by the ATI
driver on Windows (we're a Windows shop), but I couldn't get it quite
right.
