Old Monitor saving/new monitor color correction
mtmerrick:
1920x1200 vs 1920x1080 is an aspect ratio thing. one fits the shape of yoru screen, the other will be close but not quite (wich means either black bars or its smooshed)
and is it REALLY on OLED display? or is it just an LED backlit LCD? (this distinction confuses a ton of people)
when you say bright/dull, do you mean color vibrancy, contrast, or actual brightness?
kyomi:
I would say a combination of vibrancy and brightness. If I understand it correctly, contrast is just the difference between black and white.
It is an LED backlight LCD (from the box). The colors look kinda "cloudy" and not as vibrant as they were before.

That image on my second screen (smaller 1280x1024) the purple looks almost like a deep purple instead of a light mauve-ish. The ruffles on her shoulders look more grey than black like they do on the other monitor. The leaves look orange instead of red.
mtmerrick:
Cloudy is just the monitor needing to adjust (or possibly a bad DVI cable)
Your color problem sounds like it's probably contrast, but you might wanna try fiddling with gamma too.
kyomi:
Needing to adjust? Leave it sit for awhile before messing with it more? I didn't know it had to adjust, the DVI cable is the one that came with it, possibly switch that out?
Would it be too much or too little contrast? There isn't a setting for gamma on the OSD, just in the nvidia control panel. Adjust them in both places? I was thinking you should do only one or the other.
mtmerrick:
You have no reason to be touching the computer-side settings right now. There's a 99% chance that this is all in the monitors local firmware.
When a Display auto-adjusts, it will either do it itself when plugged into a video source, or will have a dedicated button (or menu choice) for manually triggering an auto adjust. I haven't seen a monitor without at least one of these things in the past 5+ years.
If you do Auto adjust and the cloudiness doesn't go away, I would turn my attention towards your DVI cable. Is HDMI cloudy?
