Hello everyone, I own two MSI Optic 2k curved gaming monitors (MAG271CQR and MAG321CQR). Recently I moved my setup, and now my displays show different colors. I’ve kept the monitor settings identical—Nvidia Control Panel is set the same. I’ve tried color calibration and changed profiles, but I can’t make them align closely. I’ve checked everything I know and am looking for suggestions or fixes to get them closer together. Please see the reference picture; the Discord display looks discolored, which seems to affect the lighting and shadows. Interestingly, after updating a visual setting, the screen refreshes and both monitors appear nearly the same color, except the 32" left monitor becomes noticeably brighter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No need to adjust individual monitor settings manually; it doesn't affect the overall display.

I've adjusted everything precisely as intended. The brightness and Saturation match perfectly. I've experimented with them all today and don't believe the monitor's display settings are the problem.

If I were you, I’d cease attempting to adjust them as if they were identical panels and begin tuning each separately until they aligned with your vision.
