For the last 6 years or so my monitor has been an AOC Q2770 which is a bog standard 1440p 60hz IPS display and I've been trying to replace it with a modern high refresh rate screen with Freesync/Gsync etc.
I've had the LG 27gp850, Dell s2721dgf, Gigabyte m27q and now the MSI mag274qrf-qd all of which get rave reviews and praise the colour accuracy post calibration.
Every one of those monitors produces, to my eyes at least, much worse colours than my old AOC. Compared to the AOC they all produce much muddier looking whites and dull reds and blues etc. Looking at the MSI and AOC next to each other the difference is really quite shocking and is rather disappointing. I dont think my AOC has much life left in it (the back light freaks out a lot) and I really want to move on to a high refresh screen but i'm finding it more challenging than I thought simply because the colours on new screens look so dull to me.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
