How to fix yellowish monitor?

[Eldin]

When I bought BenQ GL2420, I noticed that it's more yellowish than my BenQ GL2450.
I tweaked its settings a little bit so it becomes a little bit less yellowish (decreased red and green to 75 and increased blue to 100) but it was still a little bit more yellowish than GL2450.

Then I bought AOC 24E1Q and noticed that BenQ GL2450 is yellowish comparing to AOC 24E1Q.

So now I have this:
-AOC 24E1Q looks normal
-BenQ GL2450 is a little bit more yellowish than AOC
-BenQ GL2420 is a lot more yellowish than AOC

And here it is how it looks in game

It's even worse when looking at it with the eyes than with the camera.



I tried reducing Red and Green in both monitor settings and in Nvidia Control Panel.
Colors you can see in those pictures is the best I could do.
Is there a way to make colors across all the monitors the same?

Benq monitors are washed out because they are old cheap tn panels, terrible choice for tripple setup, will never look good because of poor viewing angles on tn panels..just sell them and buy the same aoc monitors.

So there's no fix for this. Ok.

I already had GL2450 and bought GL2420 from coworker for $30

I recently bought AOC hoping for nice triple monitor setup.

I'll still use it like this for now until I can afford better monitors.

You could try to take them some place where they would properly calibrate all of them with colorimeter and make the difference less obvious, but i wouldnt bother.

no

if its a cfl the tubes can be going bad which will make them orange/yellow-ish

options are replace the display
or replace its cfl tubes or get a led conversion kit for the display
but often its best and cheap to get a similar led lcd display

Is that a reason why GL2420 gets so much warm.
When I touch other 2 monitors they aren't warm at all.
But when I touch GL2420 it's really warm, especially the upper part.

possibly

if its vga/dvi its most likley cfl, or first gen led
newer led display have better color leds

That difference in color is being caused by 4 things.
Display color temperature
Saturation
Hue
And Gamma

The left monitor doesn't have an high enough contrast. Adjust each one till they all line up in terms of colour.

In that comment I wasn't talking about color temperature. The display itself is actually hot when I touch it with my hand.

And about those 4 things, which ones should I increase/decrease to reduce yellow color?

I maxed out the contrast and brightness on the left monitor.
Probably changing some settings in Nvidia Control Panel could help, but things I tried only messed up the colors so I left those at default.

In monitor default settings yellow color is even stronger.
Things that are currently changed in monitor settings are:
-Maxed out brightens, contrast and blue color.
-Reduced red and green colors.

There are many more settings that can be changed but I don't know which ones could help.

Goto usermode color temp. (Just downloaded the manual for your monitor) You'll be given sliders that are Red Green and Blue.

Saturation controls the intensity or vibrentness of the color so the monitor on the right might benefit from a saturation increase

Color temperature should be uniform across the board but adjust each independently till you get just the right amount of balance.

But Gamma + Brightness basically control how bright a scene is.
Saturation - Color intensity

Contrast controls your range of darkness to light.

So 5 settings you need to focus on.

Color Temperature (Non programmed one (User mode)) - Calibrate with a white screen on all 3 (This will tell you what temperature the monitor actually is and be able to see the color gradient changes from one to the next)
Contrast
Saturation
Gamma
Brightness
