Huge difference between DVI and HDMI driven monitors..?

I'm using two S271HL monitors, one with DVI, and the other with HDMI.  The HDMI color and brightness are extremely dim and muted compared with that of the monitor with the DVI cable.
Is there any way to get the HDMI-driven monitor to look as good?  This is ruining my experience with these monitors...

    Often that type of symptom is related to a problem with the cable, cheap cables can attenuate the signal enough to cause degradation in the display. You can sometimes mitigate it a bit by tweaking the color preferences, but the real fix is a better quality cable.
