Color difference

[Smeltie]

I have a really strange issue where in my left monitor is less bright than my right monitor.
the left is more grey and darker.

but here is the weird part:
my first setup had the same issue that setup had 2x dell ultrasharp 4:3 monitors connected to a asus gtx 1060 3gb 

i now have a new setup:

dual hp compaq la2205wg monitor's connected to a asus strix gtx 1070 ti.
its a clean install of windows but it still has the same issue.
the left monitor is connected with a dvi cable and the right monitor with a hdmi adapter

 

i find it strange that the issue persists even after an entirely new setup 

anyone got a clue?

Monitors of the same type can have differing panels in them, particularly between revision numbers or SKU.

Outside of that, in my limited experience with DVI, it outputs a darker image to the same monitor as compared to HDMI. Some people experience the opposite. It may be a factory calibration setting for color from the factory. Play with the color/contrast/saturation settings in the Nvidia control panel and on the monitor itself, you should be able to adjust them to be close enough to the same that it's a nonissue.

I tried adjusting but they become even worse and different especially with colours its very strange, would it help to make them both use displayport?

It could, yes. I'm not going to say it absolutely will, however. I have no way of guaranteeing this
