Green Tint Windows 8.1

[northeastgamer]

I just downloaded windows 8.1 onto a new pc...all of the drivers for the GPU are up to date but the colors dont work right. The desktop has a green tint and colors online are completely all over the plce. Could tjis have something to do with the usb dvd drive i used to install windows? HELP

Use Window's built-in color calibration tool. See if that fixes it.

green tint is usually an indicator of a faulty/not properly plugged in monitor cable. i reccommend checking these first!

have you tried using another gpu to montior cable? or an another monitor?

You have an Nvidia card?

 

Then, right click on desktop>NvidiaControlPanel>ChangeResolution> 32 bit color depth, output color format: RGB, output dynamic range: Full

 

Apply settings, and test

 

if not try new cable

[northeastgamer]

would the vga to dvi adapter affect this since this moniter and cable worked perfectly with the old pc

edit: (copy/paste from windowsbbs.com)

 

Right-click on a blank space on the desktop and select the NVIDIA Control Panel. Check how the monitor is listed, it should say the brand (Planar) and model. At the top of the different boxes there should be a selection Restore Defaults. You can select it for all the boxes, but particularly for the "Adjust Desktop Color Settings".

 

maybe this?

in the newest driver update, the color settings were moved to "Change Resolution"
