No, because when i switched back to DVI i could continue gaming.

I have pretty bad color vision tho, might be something there?

 

You might just have a knackered HDMI port. I used to have a set of 21" Acers and one developed an issue with it's HDMI port where it ran at 1912x1072 and only at 30hz, the DVI port on the other hand ran fine. 

Colour alone shouldn't make you ill, it's another issue causing that!

I have always used DVI on my monitor but recently i switches over to HDMI just to test it out.

I noticed the colors or contrast was different and it was now uncomfortable to look at the monitor.

I didnt know why so i just switched back to DVI.

Has anyone else experianced that?

The colour profile could have been changed for some reason I guess.

That wouldn't make you sick, are you sure you're just not ill? 

 

HDMI and DVI are directly interchangable you shouldn't have seen any issues unless you're on a restricted colour palette (default on some NVidia cards) which you can fix -> https://pcmonitors.info/articles/correcting-hdmi-colour-on-nvidia-and-amd-gpus/

I had mac OS X do this for me multiple times, it keeps reseting the profile. Though that won't cause sickness, it's just annoying.
