colors different on two of the same monitors

[kangstag]

So I decided to buy a second Dell P2414H to put next to my first one after being impressed with the display and wanting a two monitor setup. However, after I hooked up my second monitor, I noticed there was a weird color difference between the two. The second monitor seems to have a more reddish tint compared with the first monitor.

Does anyone know why this might be happening? I made sure all the display settings are the same. Here's a picture: http://imgur.com/q8aIFvE . The difference doesn't look big in the picture. It's more noticeable and annoying in real life.

Left is red, right is green. Have you tried calibrating using the one built in Windows? All you do is type in calibrate in the Windows search bar or Control Panel. It's happening because nothing in electronics can be 100% the same. However, if they use the same panel, you can make them look the same or nearly the same most of the time. Professional calibrating would be even better, however that is very expensive. A lot of people buying new TV's, etc. Never calibrate them even though they should, the difference is night and day.

Since you're going to eye ball it, have a piece of paper that's all white next to your monitor so that you know what is white and what is grey. Normally you have tools but again, they are very expensive.

All the best!

Been tinkering around for a few days. I used the display setting utilities that nvidia provides for its graphics cards and the images from here to calibrate my screen: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
Worked out pretty well. I am very surprised that the same monitors can have different settings. I'll keep this in mind.
