Asus VN248H-P Yellow/Grey problems

[boboman342]

I just got this Asus VN248H-P IPS monitor from newegg for $140! No matter what I do, what settings I change on the monitor, or in amd ccc, the yellows are too "strong", like on newegg's yellow buttons and background. It seems to just change some colors to a yellow tint...including Linus and Luke's skin on the wan show! The gray and white colors are not as pronounced as I would like as well... The grays are a little too dark and again, yellowish, while the whites are just not as bright or truly white (have a grayish tint).

 

Found this image that looks like the problem I am having

The monitor's controls and amd ccc seem limited in what I can adjust my monitor to look like.

Is there a color temperature option on the monitor? It might be set to 'warm' which gives things an 'oranger'/warmer color, while 'cool' is more of a bluer tint to things. You may be able to find a nice medium for them both but I've never used the monitor so I have no idea if that's even an option.

Yea it has those settings, but if you select them, you cannot edit a ton of other options like individual rgb levels, skin tone, sharpness, etc. When I crank up contrast, it fixes the whites being gray and yellowish skin tones, too bad all the other colors now look like shit.

What about turning the saturation down?

You can't move it, it's locked at 50 when using Standard Mode setting in the "Splendid" menu.
