I've had this monitor for 3 years.
Just picked another one up refurbished the other day for Dual Monitor Display, it might as well be brand new. Looks fabulous. Problem is, it really makes my old monitor show its age. I have to turn the brightness down near all the way on the new monitor and the brightness up all the way on the old monitor just to get the brightness even...
But here's where I need help: My old monitor appears to have a sort of reddish hue to it. Its not noticeable at all when you get used to it, but when you compare it to the other new screen, it does look slightly red in comparison, whereas the new monitor just seems perfectly balanced.
I tried turning the reds down on my old monitor, but all that does is throw the balance off and make things start to appear more green. On the flip side, I tried matching the new monitor's colors to the old one, but for the life of me, I cannot get the two to match at all. I've tried using both Windows 7's monitor calibration and NVIDIA's color adjustment for Red, Green, Blue, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Vibrance, and Hue.
What am I missing? Is something just broken in my old monitor? Anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: A good way to sum this up is that, on my new screen, whites look perfectly white, but on the old monitor, by comparison, whites seem very slightly red, but attempts to reduce the amount of red simply throw the color balance off and make the monitor start to appear green.
EDIT 2: Never mind, after some advanced tweaking I finally got them pretty much equally balanced.
