Screen colour correction?

For a long time now my screen's colours have been a bit wonky. But today I managed to completely muck them up.
Lightish colours are mostly grey. Blues are turquois etc.
I have tried fiddling around in nTune and on my monitor but I cannot seem to correct the colours myself. Even if I reset them both back to default they still appear messed up.
What ways are there to make sure the colours I am seeing, are the ones I should be seeing?

there is a good chance that this will help but the problem is getting the program. You should try to get Natural Colour Pro by samsung and it works by there being lines of a set colour and there is another colour you can adjust, you squint at the colours and adjust them so that when your squinting both of the colours are the same and meld into one.

I Googled for it, and Samsung had it on their website. Don't understand the language! Lol. Ah, after installing it seems to be readable.
Hmm. It seems to have made some things a bit worse. The menu bars on Firefox, as well as the band below the SimV post box (containing the email notifications etc) are now fairly grey. Not light like I believe it should be.

try unplugging the monitor from the videocard. Open your system, remove and reseat the card - reattach the monitor.
It's also possible that eitherthe vidcard or the monitor are going bad.
Good luck

I think it is more the settings that have gone bad, but if I get some free time I can certainly try that. Need to get some other stuff out my case anyway.

Have you checked the temperature of the monitor? You probably put it on 9300k instead of 6500k.

It should be in the controls of the screen itself and not in any Nvidia or ATI tools.

hmm, did you check all the cable connection? Sometimes the screen gets colour distortion if the cable isnt connected correctly.

I believe it is more that I managed to mess it up. Cables should be fine. I can try running them through the other port later though.
