I've bought a used 5D and photos on the camera's lcd looks a bit greenish.
Is it natural with 5D or some kind of error?
Photos on my monitor are great, I have this problem only on the lcd.

I think it's just the 5D. I think they really fixed that beginning with the 40D. Before that it was hit and miss even between bodies side by side.
I've been lucky, my 1D classic is nice looking, my 20D is nice as well, my old 30D was a bit flat and green, my 40D is great.

It can be bothersome but hey...it's a 5D, all is..."kerchunk"...forg​iven.

The back LCD on the 5D has always been (for me) almost completely useless in determining what photos to keep or trash. The photos are almost always "flatter" than what I see at home and the WB always looks a tad bit different.

Do you always see the tint? Or is it only on specific situations?

I agree. Same is true with my older camera (300D).

I learned to use the LCD screen only to verify that the composition is what I wanted, and that the subject is in focus. You can always fix color later if you shoot in RAW.
