Color difference in higher refresh rate?

[battler624]

I have a LG 2363D and had an issue with the colors being off, especially the white being a bit yellowish, this was immediately apperant once i got a second monitor. Today, I was cleaning up my desk and decided to test if my monitor is cable of pushing 120hz via HDMI and once I connected the HDMI cable I immediatly noticed a big difference in color, now it actually looks better.

The 120hz option wasn't available via windows settings so i forced it via nvidia control panel and to my surprise it works but the colors are the same as when they were in dvi. I went back to 60 hz and then to 120 and there is a noticable difference between the 2 in color. Any specific reason for this? and any idea on how to fix this?

TL;DR: Monitor @ 120Hz has yellowish white and overall worse color, Monitor @ 60Hz doesn't have that problem. Reasons? Fix?

did u adjust the resolution...all refresh rates might not be compatible with all resolutions...

My monitor is stated for 1080@120 thats the reason i got it. I do not think thats the issue no.

Not enough bandwidth in HDMI. Use DVI-D Dual Link or DisplayPort when going for 120 Hz.

Exact same issue with Dvi-D.

DVI-D what?

Important not to confuse DVI-D with DVI-D Dual Link, two completely different beasts. Verify it's a DVI-D Dual Link cable.

Might want to try a different cable, still DVI-D Dual Link though. That shouldn't be happening, possible defect as well, considering the monitor is 6 years old.

Its probably a defect that I just lived with it, Or its some frame-rate pixel color switch (TN panels do that but not that noticeable).

I've tried another cable too, a different DVI-D dual link. Same problem.

maybe u need to test with another monitor and check whether the issue follows the monitor...
