So in December i bought a 23' monitor Acer h236hl. it was all good.. so i decided to get another one a couple days ago. and the color's arent the same at all.. all the color configurations are set to the same & one is just whiter than the other one. that's not the only thing, my old one is taller than this new one by a tad bit. not sure why.... using vga on both. been trying to ignore the height issue, but my OCD is killing me lol.

Hi,

 

make sure you have them tilted the same way. Try to get someone to confirm that they are of different sizes, if yes, contact the manufacturer.

 

As for different colors, did you calibrate them?

I find that if I'm looking at a display head on vs at an angle the color doesn't appear the same between the two. It's possible they look different based on the angle you're looking at them. Also I know ACER has settings where you go menu > options > colour temp (cool | user | warm). Personally I use cool on my displays.

 

As for the height are your monitors set on an angle? The crack between the monitors is uneven. Either the monitor is tilted or the desk is bowed upwards causing the two displays to not be even with each other. This may cause the illusion that they're different heights. Alternatively get a tape measure or a piece of string and physically measure it. That'll tell you if it's really a different height.

Cant get the colors the same, one is just brighter. brightness is at 100, like the old one. and contrast i put it to 56 to some what make it bright.. i can't get the crack between the two monitors even, for some reason on is just taller than the other one.  only way i can remove the gap is if i put aim the two monitors forward, and i want them both facing at me.. even then their's still a gap..
