My old TV and my new monitor don't seem to agree on what colors look like

This is what my Windows accent color looks like on both monitors, as captured by my phone's camera. The colors don't actually look like this to the naked eye, but it shows how different the tones are.

I've got them set up as dual monitors and it's a bit jarring to go back and forth between the two. Back when my old monitor still worked I think the difference between it and my TV was actually pretty similar, but I've only had the TV for so long I've gotten used to its color palette. I assume TVs and PC monitors might just have different color temperatures in general.

The AMD control panel logo shows up as a deep red on the TV, while on the monitor it has a purpleish, magentaish hint to it.

Tried messing with the AMD control panel settings to get the monitor to match the TV more but I couldn't really do it. I don't really have an eye for this sort of thing so it might very well be that my TV's color settings are a giant mess anyway so I guess I'll live with it !shrug-outta-hecks

Mesoamerican Long Count calendar - New General Megathread for the 11th of August 2023
  • It DOES have D-Sub though thonk

    I'm guessing because it's not a capital G Gaming monitor, so they thought they could skimp out on features they figured only nerds care about. It does have FreeSync though, so who knows

  • Kinda sucks that this monitor manufactured in 2022 doesn't have one. Already spotted a converter at another store, here's hoping it works 🤞

  • I spotted a great deal for a new monitor and was looking forward to finally having some dual monitor action going on again after my primary monitor ate shit some time ago. Unfortunately, my new graphics card only has one HDMI port and three DisplayPort ports.

    Neither the TV I've been using nor the new monitor has a DisplayPort. What even is a DisplayPort kitty-cri-screm.

    I used a HDMI + D-Sub combo on my previous GPU chomsky-yes-honey

    Got any suggestions for patching a leather bicycle seat?

    This thing's 20 years old and has plenty of tears on it. I've used duct tape on it but rain and butt sweat keeps peeling it off.

    It's really comfy though so I don't want to get rid of it.
