Hello.
I have had some problems with my monitor for a while now but i have just ignored them, untill today.
First of all I'm not sure if the problem really is in the monitor, well I don't think so beacuse the problem can actually be seen on screenshots moved to other computers.
I did a clean Windows install a couple of days ago but the problem is still there.

And now to the problem... It occurs both in games and in Windows, for example gradients does not show up right.
Example:

Games looks kind of dark brown/green on dark parts, for example shadows.
I remember that I solved this problem once, though just colors in windows, games still looked the same.
I think I did something with color profiles in "color management", but I'm not sure what I did.
The name of the profile I am using right now is "2209WA.icm". This is the one I got when reinstalling Windows.
I don't know what I can do about this. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
(Sorry if my english is bad, but I hope you can understand)
 
Sorry for posting again, but if someone have an idea that would be great.
I really need help! Thank you.
 
If the same problems are visible on screenshots on a different computer then 100% it is not your monitor. What videocard do you have and color settings did you use?

In fact I see the problem you are describing on the screenshot provided. What type of cable are you using?

I have two GTX 260 in SLI. The cable is a DVI-cable. I'm not sure what you mean with color settings.
Thanks.
 
try uninstalling all color profiles altogether and see if it helps
 
try resetting video card color settings back to default.

you could also uninstall drivers, use driver sweeper, then reinstall to see if it helps clear up the issue.
