Same model display, different saturations

It's normal for two identical monitors to produce different images. This is due to acceptable differences in manufacturing and default 'calibrations'

If you want them to have identical image output, it's best to invest in a colorimeter. Otherwise just do your best eye-balling picture settings and RGB values.

I recently bought a second instance of my first monitor, it's an LG 22MK400H

 

One of them is connected via HDMI and the other is connected using a DVI-D to HDMI adapter.

 

For some reason the new one displays a more saturated image although the settings are the same as the first monitor. I tried exchanging the connections of the screens the saturation of the second one is the same.

 

Is the adapter affecting the display? What should I do in this case?

To check if the adapter is the issue, just swap them over?

Alright, thanks! Yeah I was doing a manual "calibration" but didn't match the exact image, thanks for the response
