This will either be a problem with the monitor settings (you can adjust the three colors separately in the monitor settings of most models), monitor damage, or cable, connection, or video card. Windows has no settings that can control this.
Lost the color of red in my display settings. Monitor is not the problem. Help!

turned on computer last week and the screen turned darker and now it doesn't display the color red. Tried to recalibrate my settings with no change.
