Washed out monitor Color

[Gseto]

Hello,

So I just purchased a LG 22 inch monitor(22M38). I wanted a monitor that was 1080p. My current monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster S20B300 which is a 1600x900 resolution, having them side by side the colors seem really washed out on the LG compared to the Samsung. I've tried going through settings on the monitor itself and color calibration on windows as well as my settings on my graphics card(AMD) I couldn't seem to find any settings that could change to have it look the same on my Samsung monitor. I am using a VGA on the LG and a HDMI on my Samsung I didn't think that it would have this big of a color difference with cabling. If so would a DVI instead of a VGA fix the color on the LG?

Thanks.

its a TN panel. thats normal. If you want better color then return it for an IPS panel.

What popatim said.

A different cable will not make any noticeable difference in terms of color reproduction.
An IPS panel is the way to go if you won't be gaming and even if you are it's still great but don't expect the best response times, not like it makes a big difference anyway though.

Answer ---> IPS Display has phenomenal color reproduction and seems to be what you are after. <---
