Hello WSGF, I'm new here and also new to multi-monitor gaming. Well, I recently purchased 3 monitors, HP 2311x's. Yes I know, they're not the best gaming monitors out there, it was on sale so it was a budget build for me. :P Anyways, I purchased one monitor last year for around $85 after coupon and I hesitated to buy 2 more. Now I wanted 2 more and I had to pay a bit higher even though it was on sale again last week. Anyways, I finally purchased a new table and set up my monitors only to find that my oldest monitor had the "coolest" hue. Whereas my other monitors had a yellow tint to it and it bugs the hell out of me. I was wondering if there was any way to calibrate it or make it similar since I think these monitors are the second batch and that it will all be like this regardless if I exchange for another one.

P.S. They're all on the same factory settings.

Here are some pictures, I only have two monitor up as of now since my crappy old computer + old GPU can only handle 2 monitors at a time. :P

yes alter the factory settings
use some display calibration software
eg:

there are others, you will have to judge by eye unless your prepared to by calibration hardware.

You can also make adjustments in your video cards control panel

ps: the difference could be down to colour temp increase it for the yellowish monitor

i had the same problem, and my solution was to modify the colors, luckily my dells support RGB adjustment and i was able to mess with them and get them really close.
they are not 100% perfect, and given the amount of hours ive put into messing with them i really don't think its possible for them to be, they are too drastically different. they are the same model but are a few yeras old now, so im not sure if it was a QC issue, different internal panel somehow, or just age.

good luck!

same here with my Dell U2410's. When I got them I had 1 different from the other 2, had the vendor swap it out a few times before I realised every screen seemed to be slightly different from the last, I'd just been lucky with the other 2 matching from the off.

Tinkering with the RGB adjust as Davros suggested should do the trick.
