When I try to watch a movie on my desktop, it gets this heavy dark tint and things show up as green, blue and a light purple.

I don't get this when playing games (Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, etc.), only when trying to watch movies and only movies that are on the hard drive or in my DVD or Bluray player.

I updated the drivers for my GPU (GTX 660) and my LG brand Bluray player.

I tried switching monitors and changing the media player (WMP UMPlayer, VLC, etc.), but it yielded the same results.

I have a Sabertooth X79 mobo with 8gbs of RAM and a Windows 7 OS.

Do you have the 'K-Lite Codec Pack' installed on your system?

You should download and install it. It's free. :) And it plays everything.

This might force all your apps to use the correct codecs.
