2 Monitors will not match!

Crapman

I bought a dell E2316H a while ago, and connected it with DP to an MSI GTX 1050 ti, and it has been great. Today, I bought an acer X223W and connected it to my CPU's integrated graphics (Intel 4600) with VGA, and the colors seem to warm, and do not match with my other monitor at all, I have tried to play with the color settings on the monitor itself, and the integrated graphics control panel, but it has not been possible, is there anything else I can do?

Use a color calibrator. The colors may never 100% match though.

Welcome to the Forums!

 

You can try manually adjusting the color settings on each monitor to try and match them up but different panels you will have differences in color brightness and such between the two. That can even happen with two of the same monitors if they are not calibrated.

Another thing to remember is the Dell is using LED backlight, while the Acer is a LCD backlight. The LED will always seem much "cooler" then LCD

They are both LCD monitors, LCD isn't the backlight type. Displays that are just advertised as "LCD" usually use CCFL backlights.

My bad, I read LCD from the line above back light and decided that LCD is a backlight technology. However, if you believe dell, their monitor is a full LED monitor, unlike the LCD Acer. That's what i really was trying to say. And the two technology's do produce a different color temperature, but you should be able to adjust them and get them close to each other.
