so i have two monitors that i use one with VGA the other with HDMI. the HDMI one (my secondary) looked very washed out so i thought it was just the monitor itself (the blacks weren't as black and colors not so vibrant) so i switched them and it was the hdmi cable itself and the vga still looks better. what could be causing this? The cable itself?

NVIDIA Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Output Dynamic Range -> Change to "Full"
