You do not need a color accurate monitor. No one else has a color accurate monitor, and you don't have to keep to brand colors. Either you have to just adjust your monitor settings, or it's stuck in HDR mode. Either way, colors are relative, just adjust it afterwards if you need to.Also, your darks aren't dark enough.
>>7783501nah my monitor is just really bad, it’s a 2018 Samsung gaming monitor… the colors are so blown out it’s awful to work it, literally can’t see the difference between a dark red and a bright red, both are super bright and i tried to calibrate it but i can’t get the VA look out so you’re saying i need more contrast in my colors?
