New monitor has super vibrant colors with displayport

[Pinguinguin]

I recently purchased a Acer XFA240 bmjdpr, plugged it in and noticed that the colors are very vibrant. I plugged in an hdmi cable, and the colors looked more neutral. I checked and the displayport connection is running in full gammit, and I fiddled with the settings on the monitor itself. Also my nvidia control panel settings dont work. Does anybody know what the problem is??? Thanks guys

Sometimes manufacturers cheap out on the HDMI connection, might not allow full color depth. What does Nvidia control panel say?

@fasauceome The hdmi cable does run full color as per the nvidia control panel, Ill add that I have a second monitor, a hp22cwa which is an ips monitor. This monitor is what im using as a reference for colors.

This Acer monitor is a TN panel. It may be that the standard settings are trying to overcompensate for the lack of colour gamit. You will never be able to match a TN panel to the colour output of an IPS display. I would run it with the display port and use the windows colour calibration to adjust it. Some modes on displays can also change the colours so have a look to see it its in 'fps, race or scenery' modes.

@CPPrince maybe, but i plugged the monitor into another pc, using DisplayPort, and the colors looked fine. I also plugged the monitor into my main pc using an hdmi cable, and the colors looked fine. This leads me to think it is a software problem with displayport.

@CPPrince @fasauceome, I found the fix the the problem, all I needed to do was uninsrall the drivers for my gpi and then reinstall them. Thanks for your help!
