I have bought two exact same monitors around one year apart, i have just installed my latest monitor and it seems to have a yellow hint, i can easily see that they are different as when i drag over a window so it lays on both screen they are two separate colors, i have made sure the settings are exactly same, is there something i could have missed? it's rather annoying....
Got two exact same monitors... HELP!

Have you tried swapping the cables over? Also, go into the menu and reset both monitors to their default settings. If the problem persists, take a picture and contact manufacturer support. May need to RMA it.
If it's a second hand unit and there's no warrenty, go into the menu and see if there's an option to correct the colour balance.

It is brand new i've swapped the cable over and there's still a yellow hint, it honestly looks like one of the screens is warm white and the other is cool white, but it could be the way i have my screens set up as they're on an angle and they are TN panels i think it could also be that!
I purchased three identical monitors and incurred this issue with one. The only difference was that with one of the monitors, the warm colour affected not the whole image, only about a third of the display. It was noticeable, swapping cables, settings would not rid the issue so presumably the panel?
I should have returned in hindsight, only I rearranged the displays so the monitor with the warmer colour was the third monitor (3 displays from left to right) meaning the warm patch ended up on the far right hand side so it was less noticeable when placed next to another monitor.
Like CuriousTomCat mentions, if calibration does not fix, the only option is to return?

I ended up buying a hardware calibrator to get my three monitors (same model but purchased over a two year period) to match. Not a cheap option, but they did then match and were also theoretically 'correct'. They were relatively expensive monitors so the cost of the calibrator wasn't too bad in comparison.
Buying monitors at different times there's no guarantee they're using the same revision of panel, or even the same panel. My monitors also drift over time and need to be recalibrated.
