Monitor colours too dark

[RUI771]

hi

I recently bought a monitor (BenQ GL2460HM) and when i plug in my computer via hdmi the colours are too dark..

Could you help me?

just to rule obvious things out:
You have tried the brightness setting on monitor? (I think it is usually by default at 100%)
You tried gamma setting on monitor? (this might skew the color balance though so best left on default)
You tried resetting monitor settings to defaults (could help if monitor was bought as used, some settings can be out here)
You could in most cases, also adjust brightness in catalyst control panel and nvidia equivalent.

Since it works with standard vga cable just fine, only course of action might be to use the nvidia control panel's brightness setting if you want to keep using hdmi.
On other hand, vga would also work just fine since it's limited only with high refresh rates and high resolutions neither of which are supported on the monitor so unless there is some other reason to use HDMI specifically (headphone jack on monitor?) there is no real reason to favor HDMI over VGA.

even for 1920x 1080 resolution 60 hrz?

the vga maximum is 2560x1600 at 60hz so.. yes, even at that it works fine.
