Dull colour from HDMI cable until digital vibrents adjusted.

[BluePhoenix874]

When I first got my PC i used a DVI cable from my graphics card to my 1080p ips LG monitor. I had no trouble with this and it gave alright colour. Some of my friends later told me i should be using HDMI instead though as DVI is outdated and doesn't give as good of an image as HDMI. So i changed to HDMI but there seemed to be a white tinge over the screen and the colour seemed to be dull. I went into nvidia control panel and moved the digital vibrents done from 50 to 49 and it seemed to detect something and the colour issue was fixed. However whenever i would restart my PC i would have to go into nvidia control panel again and move the digital vibrance to fix the problem. 

I'm guessing its not the HDMI cable being faulty as it seems to be able to transmit the right colour after the digital vibrants has been moved, and my nvidia drivers for my GTX 760 were up to date. 

 

Has anyone else had this issue and or know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

NVIDIA Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Set Output Dynamic Range to "Full" instead of Limited. When you connect to a 1080p screen with HDMI it assumes it is a TV and sets the range to Limited because that's what TVs use.
