New $300 monitor has washed out colors

[jcup]

Hello, I recently just purchased a BenQ XL2411Z and I have it in a dual monitor config with my old 60Hz Asus monitor but side by side, the Asus has much better colors than my new BenQ? The blacks are faded as well as the other colors and the whites are dull and not as clean as my Asus monitor. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried messing with the basic display settings but it didn't improve it by much.

If you have a Nvidia or AMD card in your display options (in GPU driver application) you have the ability to adjust colours ect to your preference.
