Hi everyone!!!

I'm editing this post. Last night i posted about movies, games and pics (specially the wallpaper) looking pixalated. I tried formating the pc, installing w10 and all the drivers, plugin the monitor on the motherboard integrated graphics, taking out the gpu and installing only the motherboard drivers to see if the problem was the gpu but everything looked the same. Before i got this computer I was using this monitor on my sisters pc and everything looked good. Today I decided to plug my monitor in my sisters pc again and it looks fine, then I realized that wallpaper images in my pc looked gigantic, like if only a portion of the wallpaper was on screen (specifically the one with the green tent with a starry night as background), the green tent is in the lower right corner of the screen, almost 1/6 part of the size of the screen. task bar looks the right size but I think Icons look bigger than they shoul be. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Please excuse me for my bad english, it's not my native language as you can see.

Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

My pc specs are:

Power Supply: Evga supernova nex750B
Motherboard: Asus H170Pro
Ram: HyperX 8gb x 2
Processor: Intel i5-6400 2.70Ghz
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo
Gpu: Evga GTX 960 4Gb.
Hardrive: Seagate 1tb.
Monitor: Benq GL2230A

my sister's pc specs:

Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 600W
Motherboard: Asrock H61m-vg3
Ram: Corsair 4gb x 2
Processor: Core i3 2.70ghz
Hardrive: Seagate 500gGb.

Since the monitor was working fine on your sister's computer, it could be the color management settings on your computer. Right-click on your desktop, go to "Display Settings," and click "Display Adapter Properties." There should be a "Color Management" tab; click the "Color Management..." button, and make sure your color profile is set correctly.

Hi Carnaxus, In Color Managment-Color Profiles my monitor's name is set.

As you can read in my post, I think the problems lies with the resolution, because wallpaper pics looks gigantic, only a small portion of the wallpaper appears on screen but task bar looks the right size, i tried with my sister monitor on my pc and it looks the same, but when I plug my monitor in her pc, wallpaper size is just fine.

Hi, I'm sorry it took me so long to reply.

Yes, the first pic is an actual desktop/my desktop. I found why the wallpaper was so big. When you go to Personalize and choose a single pic, it looks that way even if you set it to stretch (at least on my sister and my pc), but when you go to themes and choose from there, all the wallpapers fit in the screen, the problem now is the color, first I thought it was a problem with the resolution, but now I know it's something else. Pics and videos looks awful and blurry, skin tones in both have some kind of a light green tone, like in old games in 16 bits, where colors didn't completely blend, movies looks pixelated and with a lot of noise like they are in low resolution even in 1080p videos. Something like that happens with games too, color gradients in faces, clouds, dust and smoke dont blend completely (like if they are in 16bit color), same happens with light, you can see every grandient in a night sky where colors go from black to dark blue,in Resident Evil 6 the dust particles looks like little transparent squares. I have 32bit (true color) set in Display Settings and Nvidia control panel. I would like to post some pics from games, but I guess if I printscreen something it wouldnt look the same when you see the pic. I really appreciate your help.

Thank you and have a nice day.
