First, upgrade your keyboard. It's a bigger problem than your monitors right now

So on a cold boot, I could have sworn that my LG24GM77's looked washed out after turning them on, but after 5 minutes, they look normal. I kinda just ignored it, until I moved one of them downstairs temporarily to demonstrate it to someone. After that, I brought it upstairs and just left it next to my PC for a couple hours. This whole time I had the other two running. After plugging in the third one that had been off for several hours, next to the other ones, the washed out colors is night and day.

 

All three:

The two that had been running all day:

And the one that had been running for a couple minutes next to one running for hours:

After letting them warm up, they all match. But WTF?

I have a feeling that if you want an answer to this, it's going to be somewhat complex... Personally I think it has something to do with the temperature of the LCD/backlight and the way the pixels react in different situations. Other than that...I have no idea. Sorry.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

I would have thought it would be the backlighting warming up, but they are LED...

Just saying, this goes against the CoC.

He's not condoning it- he's saying he's going to do it. There is a difference.
