LG 27GL850-B Green tint only on Windows devices

[Apextier]

Hi all!

 

This has caused me much anguish and frustration so I figured see if the gurus here can help me understand what the heck is going on.

 

TL;DR format: When connecting the monitor to a PC/Windows device it will have a green tint as seen below. This happens on multiple PC devices and even in BIOS, so in my opinion it's not a particular PC device issue but something specifically with the monitor.

 

 

 

Things I've tried that have yielded no success.

• Factory reset monitor via in-built settings
• Updated PC graphics driver
• Restarted computer(s)
• Used multiple different PCs
• Used different cables (DP and HDMI)
• Attempted to use OnScreen Control to update monitor firmware but it never detects it

 

What does work somehow?

Using a macOS device the display properly shows colors over either DP or HDMI.

 

I've found another report of a users with the same exact issue.

 

 

And for the record the monitor is out of warranty so I have to seek LG third party repair and from my surface level research it seems to be a nightmare. 

 

I'm completely at a loss on this and have since purchased a 27GP850-B to replace it for the time being. Any ideas or suggestions you might have on this will be greatly appreciated.
