I'm not sure if it's a faulty monitor or the settings I'm using, but the color red (and sometimes any color close to red) on my monitor (a Sceptre), appears very pixelated and almost too bright. When it's outlined with a darker color, it's much worse. It almost looks like the image was saved with bad JPEG quality. When I zoom in on the image, either with a graphics editing program, or by using the zoom in function on my browser, the problem goes away.

It is not my graphics card, as I've had multiple since then (right now, an NVIDIA 1070GTX). It is also only the color red. I make graphics on the side, so not being able to work with the color red has been a problem, because it always looks, well, ugly, pixelated and way too bright. I've had this problem for a while now, but I've never been able to find a similar question. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

I've included some pictures of what I mean. Hopefully they are clear enough as they were taken with an iPhone. I don't have any other camera.

My resolution is at the recommended display, 1920 x 1080, the refresh rate is 60 hertz, the colors are True Color 32bit. I'm not sure what other information to provide, so please let me know if I can provide any other info.
