Hey guys.

I recently got a new monitor (here is a link to it: http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Monitors_Projectors/VN247H/) and I am having some trouble setting it up for gaming.

I have 2 monitors set up, and I have been comparing colours on both of them and it seems like the reds on my new one appear too intense. To help me explain I have uploaded an image below.

In the image the black boxes I have over the colour chart show where the colours kinda merge together on my new monitor...For example, the smallest box on the pink colour chart shows a different shade of pink to the one above, but on my new monitor them 2 colours appear to be the exact same, like one big shade of pink. The same goes for the box around the reds to the right.

Also, when looking at a picture of a person, on my new monitor that person appears to be blushing and have reddish skin, whereas on my old monitor they look like they have normal skin with no redness at all.

Hopefully someone can help me sort my settings out, I have a Nvidia GTX 580 graphics card if that has something to do with it, I know I can adjust colour settings in my Nvidia control panel but I have no idea what I am doing with them settings.

My monitor's settings:
Brightness: 50
Contrast: 80
Saturation: 70
(I have tried playing with these settings whilst looking at the images, but I can't get the images to look right - I dread to think what a game looks like)

Thank you for any help or advice!
