I bought x3 Acer H236HL bid 23-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor IPS.
I have 2 on DVI and the 3rd is on hdmi. My problem is the monitor on hdmi looks washedout compared to the ones on dvi. Blacks are washed out also.

To see if it was just the monitor i unplugged hdmi and plugged it into another monitor and the difference between hdmi vs dvi monitor is the same color is washed out on what ever monitor i have hdmi on.

Would buying a displayport to dvi and hooking monitor to dvi - displayport solve this? Theres something wrong / different between monitors on dvi and hdmi one.

This is a very common effect. The HDMI port only supports a limited amount of bandwidth and you might end up with scaling on any resolutions at or over 1080. If you are using a setup with more than 2x monitors, I recommend using an ACTIVE Display Port to DVI adapter. Sometimes the passive adapters don't work when more than 2x monitors are being used. Varies per video card. I use the Saphire Active Display Port adapters regularly, and they work great.
