I bought 2 monitors off of Woot! for 90 each (IPS, 1080p, 22"), and they have slightly different color tones. I have tried using their built in software, as well as in the Nvida settings (GTX 650ti Boost). Is there an easy way to get them to be the same color? 

 

I got this: http://tech.woot.com/offers/aoc-22-1080p-ips-led-monitor

 

Its not like I multi-monitor game, but I would like the colors to be the same, especially if I was to purchase another monitor and do tri-monitor stuff.

 

I took a few pictures with my phone to show what I mean (sorry for the display lines): http://imgur.com/a/9EC0q

If there are hardware buttons that get you to the monitor built-in settings, look for something to do with the color temperature or gamma settings. Also, try using flux. It may help reset the configuration, or something similar, when it runs.

 

If nothing works, RMA that thing.

I got it off of Woot, so a return is not an option. It's really not that big of a deal for the price I paid, I am going to try that software now.
