Pls Help - Odd color behavior on new Monoprice 27"

[WildViper]

I just got the new Monoprice 27" G-Zero IPS monitors : link

My system info: AMD Phenom X4 960T (not overclocked) with a DIamond Radeon 6770 video card - 1Gig. Running WIndows 7 64bit.

The monitor is running off the Dual-Link DVI.

The odd behavior:

I get accurate colors in browsers..Chrome or IE (latest one). I tested viewing a photo on my drive via the browser and colors are perfect. I went through many videos/youtube/color calibration pages online and all look good. Gamma/Brightness/Contrast/Color and so on.

However, in Lightroom 3.x and Windows Photo Viewer, the photos look very off..very red.

Colors in thumbnails look good (as much as I can tell). Colors in Explorer Preview Pane looks good.

I have even run Pantone Huey calibration tool. No fix.

See the images below.

What gives? How to fix this? Thx for help.

Go into your video properties and check "overlay" settings.

You also should calibrate the photo viewer app. For example, in the case of Adobe PE, use the Adobe Gamma Loader provided in "common Programs"

I don't know if this is the same issue as you were having, but I had a similar issue with Windows Photo Viewer a couple years ago. I am pretty sure the top answer in this thread is what fixed the issue for me:

Thank you both. The issue is fixed.

@ketchup...I did try that and it didn't work for me.

@C1...I had tried to find where to calibrate the photo programs but couldn't find it. Next time I will look for the Adobe Gamma Loader.

The way it was fixed:

I installed Photoshop CS5 and lo and behold, the issue was resolved. I have no idea what happened, but colors are perfect now!

So much for that fix. It is back to the odd behavior again!

Pls help...now even PS CS5 shows the wrong colors. ANd I do not see Aodbe Gamma Loader in the Control Panel.
