Why does my monitor look warm only over HDMI, could color calibration help?
#1
My new monitor has this weird issue where everything looks slightly too warm, like a yellow tint, but only when I'm using the HDMI port. I tried the same cable on my laptop and it looks fine, so I'm wondering if there's a setting buried somewhere in my desktop's graphics control panel that got changed, maybe related to color calibration.

I had this exact thing once. HDMI was negotiating a warmer color temperature on the monitor. I pulled up the monitor menu, switched color temperature from Warm to Normal (6500K), and turned off any dynamic color tweaks. After that the HDMI image matched the DP signal more or less.

I also checked Windows color management. I added the sRGB ICC profile for the HDMI display and set it as the default. A quick reboot later, and the yellow tint mostly vanished.

I tried a different HDMI cable and even switched ports, but the laptop still looked fine. I tinkered with the GPU control panel a bit—lowered digital vibrance and nudged gamma toward 2.2. It helped a little, but it didn’t feel like a real fix.

Do you have HDR enabled over HDMI?
