Hello

Youtube 1080p is highly compressed and will look like crap on any large display.

It would help if you explained the symptoms a little more clearly.

I have the same monitor and have no issues with it on default settings with a regular DVI cable.

I use DVI, but yeah i believe its cus its a big monitor, but colours in images loading screens or cinimatics look bad, but again, might be that they are not true 1080p cus when i play a game there are no issues

Yes, it's due to upscaling and compression.

Take a screenshot of the game to view, or record a session with lossless capture software like Fraps, it should play back flawlessly.

Look in my screenshots, at my most recent, and you will see a relic games screnshot. Not sure why it does this, even modern games care like this (not as bad)

That is color banding. Make sure Windows color is set to 32 bit. There isn't much else you can do. You should of got an IPS monitor if you want better color. Your monitor is for speed & smooth gaming, not accurate colors.
