Hello, I have this very annoying issue with my monitor that's causing a problem with its colors. Basically there are certain shades (I believe they are mainly grey shades) that appear as neon purple.
I first noticed the issue while watching a video and seeing some purple dots and even purple lines. So I proceeded to search for images on Google of color schemes and the same issue occurred. I was going to post a screenshot but that obviously wouldn't work, so I drew over the picture wherever it appeared neon-like.

I did the drawing as accurately as possible but I think it's mainly certain shades of grey that are affected. Here's how a picture of grey shades appeared on my monitor:

I think you get the idea now, there are basically purple pixels and lines everywhere I go. I tried messing around with the monitor settings, but they are a too basic (it's an 'LG IPS FULLHD').

I haven't really been able to find anything in my control panel. I'm running windows 10. I hope somebody knows a solution to this issue.
Thanks in advance
 
Update: after leaving my PC for about an hour and coming back, I was surprised to see that the issue resolved itself. I still don't know whether my monitor, PC hardware or software caused this, though, so if anyone has information it would still be appreciated.
