Hi All,

 

I currently have 3 exact same model LG 4k monitors. I'm using the same settings on the monitors (brightness, contrast, mode , etc) . Same display port cables.

 

I'm on windows 10 , RTX 2070 Super GPU

 

The issue I'm having is that one of the monitors is brighter than the other two. Even after matching the NVIDIA control panel settings and the monitors settings it still brighter which doesn't make sense to me why.

 

Hoping someone may have experienced this in the past and may have an answer or point me to a potential solution.

 

Thanks !

Would that one have HDR turned on by any chance?

Is it possible that you set one minitor brighter through the OSD of the monitor? That's whst I'd check first.

Yeah all OSD settings match currently. I thinking not all monitors are built the same which causes the discrepancy ?

No individual monitors are the same, especially not if they are not factory precalibrated.

 

You need an Xrite ColorMunki, iDisplay or DataColor SpyderX + DisplayCal and you need to calibrate the screen.

Thats what I was thinking an it makes sense. I would just have assumed since they were all bought the same time and same model I wouldn't have this issue.

 

Ill check out these products and go from there . Thanks !

If you only care about brightness and not too important to be exact, you could just adjust the brightness based on your own vision having them side by side.

 

If you want to adjust colours and stuff to match exact you should probably get one of them tho.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”
