Hi, on thursday "11/20/14" I went to the local electronics store and bought another AOC 20" LED monitor. I have two other exact (same size & model) monitors hooked up to my PC. After getting it hooked up and running, I noticed that the third new monitor is unusually bright and over saturated compared to the other monitors.

What could be causing this monitor to be as bright as it is? My other two same monitors work fine and haven't had this kind of issue before. To me it appears that the backlight is malfunctioning.

The Three Monitor Info:

AOC 20" LED HD Monitor
e2060sw
DVI-D 24+1

Things i've tried to fix the issue:
  • Unplugging & replugging in.
    Resetting monitor under its' "OSD" settings
    Adjusted the color under the monitor's "OSD" settings
    Tried a different DVI-D 24+1 cable
    Tried hooking it up differently on my SLi GTX 660 2GB Ti setup.
    Tried manipulating the monitor's colors under nvidia's control panel
 


Its' fine, you're not being rude. I do understand that AOC is a cheap brand and its' mainly the reason why i've been able to afford these monitors. Being $90 for a LED monitor is insanely cheap. I believe I have a month to return it and get another one. I ordered an alternative cable for this monitor. My SLi setup won't allow for three DVI-D monitors. Maybe this DVI-D to HDMI cable will help.
