Original Title: Blue Tint

I have two monitors.  One is the correct color but the other developed a blue tint.  I changed the resolution to 1920x1080 and no change.  So I purchased a new monitor and when it was installed and turned on that monitor has the same blue tint and the other one is still fine. 

What can I do now?  My old monitor is probably ok if I knew how to fix it.  Please help!

    Hello Diane,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    With the issue description, I understand that you are getting a blue tint on one of the two monitors on your Windows 8 machine. I will certainly help you in getting this issue fixed.

    This issue might occur due to improper connection or incompatible/corrupt display adapters. Make sure that the connection of the cable connection is not broken.

    Let’s follow below mentioned steps and check if that helps:

    Method 1: Hardware and devices troubleshooter

    The built-in hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause issues with hardware. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if there is any issue with the display adapter. Refer top these steps:

    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click on Troubleshooting and select the view all option on the left pane.
    3. Click on Hardware and devices troubleshooter and follow the prompts.

    Try method 2, if the issue persist

    Mtehod 2:

    Step 1: Update the Display driver.

    Please follow the steps given below to update the display driver.

    1. Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    2. Select Device Manager.
    3. Find and double-click Display driver from the left panel to uninstall
    4. Right-click the device, and click Update Driver Software.
    5. Select Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software.

    Step 2: Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

    If the issue occurs due to corrupt Graphic/Display Drivers, then you may refer to the manufactures’ website and install the latest Graphic/Display drivers for the device.
