so today i bought 2 AOC 23" ips monitors. Both have DP, HDMI and DVI. I have on hooked up via DP and the other HDMI....but my HDMI monitor looks less sharp and the colors not as crisp...both monitors have the same exact settings.

Now my questions are this:
-my Nvida 760 has one DP...is there a way i can have 2 monitors with different diplays not the same on both going through one DP?
-is there any other way to get more DP on my card? adapters?
-which is better HDMI or DVI...

Apparently nVidia doesn't support the full color gamut on HDMI. Switch to DVI and it should be fine.

It's not the colour gamut as such, its more the contrast range. If the drivers detect that the display is 1080p on HDMI, it will assume it is a TV you are using which don't support the same contrast range as monitors (16-235 instead of 0-255) and will use the limited version instead.

That being said it shouldn't cause blurriness, are both your monitors set to their full resolution?
