    I have two identical 19 "Samsung monitors connected to one PC. Using the buttons on the monitors, I set the same image display parameters: brightness, contrast, sharpness, color tones, etc.
    One monitor is connected via VGA and the other via DVI.
    However, one color is warmer than the other.
    The monitors are connected from the outputs of the MSI motherboard.
    Is it possible to make the colors on both monitors the same?

    Yes, it's still the same.

    But does the image change between them? Does one monitor still have a warmer color? Are these LCD monitors? It may be that the monitors are worn to a different degree or have a different matrix and hence the effect.

    Hello,
    The VGA signal is analog so we have a 2-fold conversion of D-> A and back A-> D will always be distorted, do not use "identical settings", adjust them to the requirements.
    Regards
    My colleagues' question (I am also curious) was whether if you physically change the monitors, this one, for example, to VGA is always warmer? then we exclude the monitor.

    Or maybe guilty of a graphics card? try to use maybe ordinary simplest 2x VGA splitter?

    Both monitors are: Samsung SyncMaster 932B LCD.
    Monitor No. 1 (left) - VGA cable - warm color
    Monitor No. 2 (right) - DVI cable - cold color

    After swapping the cables in the monitors, the following situation occurs:
    Monitor No. 1 (left) - DVI cable - warm color
    Monitor No. 2 (right) - VGA cable - cold color

    Hence it follows that the left monitor still has a warmer color, regardless of the type of cable.

    Hello,
    and it got out, the monitors are differently tuned, work on correcting the settings.

    What you didn't do, and where should you start? reset both monitors by the OSD.

    Unfortunately, on Monitor 1 (left) - DVI cable - warm color - image and color reset is not available :( .

    As my colleagues mentioned, the monitors are worn in different ways, which gives a different color of the backlight - and thus the image. You have to try to set it up so that it looks good :)

    Unfortunately, I couldn't unlock the OSD despite holding the "source" button for 15 seconds :( . The message "Auto Adjust Not Available" still appears on one of the monitors.
    I tried to set the color of the image using the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. However, without success :( .

    After installing the drivers for the monitors, I have something like this:

    In addition, when reading the instructions for this monitor, they give there two programs:
    - Natural Color
    - Magic Tune

    Reading and seeing this, I start to wonder if these monitors are two different.
    VID and PID code have the same?

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    If not, they are two completely different devices. Differences on the nameplate? What is the bar code like?

    Certainly, the production dates differ. S / N also totally different, but that won't say anything.
    Have you checked VID and PID? Identical?
    It will be under -> right mouse button on the monitor name in manager -> properties -> details ->
    device instance identifier.
    Enter for both devices.

    Below are the hardware IDs for both monitors:

    It's about VEN, and here's the code, and DEV, and here's the full code - like here

    There is still something wrong, not to mention the inability to enter the OSD in one of the monitors.

    I still think that these devices are not identical.

    Instead of "hardware identifier" -> "device instance identifier", enter this string with the words VEN and DEV in the middle (as is).

    Quote:
    Enter "hardware identifier" -> "device instance identifier" instead of "hardware identifier"

    There is no such thing ...

    In that case, I dare to say, based on the hardware ID, that these are 2 different monitors, hence the color discrepancy.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around two identical 19" Samsung monitors connected to an MSI motherboard, exhibiting a color discrepancy where one monitor displays warmer colors than the other. Despite identical settings for brightness, contrast, and color tones, the monitor connected via VGA appears warmer than the one connected via DVI. Users suggest potential causes including differences in monitor wear, the analog nature of the VGA signal, and the possibility of different hardware identifiers indicating they may not be identical devices. Attempts to reset the on-screen display (OSD) settings on the warmer monitor were unsuccessful, leading to further investigation into the monitors' specifications and settings. The conclusion points towards the likelihood of the monitors being different models or having different production dates, which could explain the color variations.
