How can i fix my monitors colors from looking washed out?

[Happy]

I just bought a brand new ultragear lg 24gq50f-b monitor and its honestly great over all i only have one problem with it which is the fact that there seems to be a light gray filter on the screen at all times and I've tried cranking the digital vibrance up in the nvidia control panel and that helped alot but the colors lost depth the higher i turned the slider which is not ideal so now im stuck wondering if is there a way to fix this without running the colors or should i just get used to it?

I should also add that the other monitor that i was using before was a lg E2250 and it was 14 years old at this point so i was basically using 100 percent digital vibrance at all times and the profile that im using is the gamer 1 that has gamma set to 2.2 and brightness to 100 percent and rgb colors are R:46 G:50 B:44

Try switching the output color formats in the Nvidia Control panel or whatever AMD has as an alternative if applicable.

I'd start by setting everything back to default, drivers too if needed. After that maybe try a different cable... and go from there. Power and eye saving features, and hdr can leave things looking washed out too.

probably running in HDR and showing non-HDR content.

Your Drivers have in DISPLAY a setting for Brightness, Contrast and Saturation, also Color Temperature, on my new one I keep it at 7000K, I like neutral grays no yellow.
Your Monitor has this in its menu also.
If you want to set it and forget it, do it in the monitor first.

Turn off HDR in windows settings. After that, Nvidia control panel change resolution < set this to native setting. Color default.

No one can really help you until you list:

1. What GPU you have
2. GPU driver version
3. Operating System

I can tell you now that most LG monitors support more than one profile, and that setting "gaming" mode turns on a special profile that washes out colors.

Typically, there are also more than one profile that can be accessed by the GPU driver depending on your GPU manufacturer for the screen.

There's often a price to pay with monitors. You have a monitor that's nice and fast for games. Gaming monitors, the manufacturers often sacrifice picture quality for gaming performance. The only real answer is to spend more money, and even if you spend thousands, there is sill no such thing as a perfect monitor.
