Hey I have a dual Acer G276HLDbd Black 27" 6ms (GTG) Widescreen LED Monitors as well as a Samsung 32" LED tv. My second monitor is using a dvi to hdmi adapter (the monitor has a dvi port, no hdmi ports). The monitors are typically the only screens being used for dual display, but occasionally I take the HDMI out of the second monitor and plug it into the tv to watch movies. Now the second monitor displays some pixely purple colors during scenes of really dark or black colors, but only only on the second display. Its fine on my main monitor and on my tv. Is this because of the adapter or could it be something else?

My setup:
