Washed out colors

So I plugged the HDMI cord into my main monitor and switch the DVI over to my secondary one. The main one is 1080p and the secondary one is 900p. The colors look SO much more bolder on the secondary. Is it the BRAND new HDMI cord? Don't know how to explain it... Like the green looks GREENER.

Another way to explain it is it looks kindda foggy. Idk it's weird...

Its probably the monitor settings if its a new monitor. If the monitor was working fine before, I would reset the monitor's color setting to default and if that doesn't work I'd try changing the cable. Its usually not a problem with the cable, but it happens sometimes.

Change the output dynamic range in Nvidia control panel to full.

Nope, nothing. Maybe it's the HDMI cable. I'll,try the cable later.

Don't know if that was it but I went into the control,panel and change the digital vibrance which seemed to,fix the problem. Thanks
