I have 2 acer monitors on one PC and one of them now has a blue hue to the screen. I do not know if I accidently changed a setting or if the monitor is failing but I rarely use this PC and the one with the blue is the newest one. The model is as follows if anyone knows how to correct the issue. Thanks in advance!

Acer 27.0” 1920 x 1080 VA Zero-Frame Office Home Computer Monitor

    A sudden blue tint on an Acer monitor is often caused by display cable issues, outdated graphics drivers, or incorrect color settings. It could also stem from hardware problems with the monitor itself, or even environmental factors.

    Troubleshooting Steps:
    1. Check Connections:
    Ensure the display cable (HDMI, VGA, or DVI) is securely plugged into both the monitor and the computer. Try swapping the cable with another one you know is working.
    2. Inspect Cable:
    Look for any bent pins on the cable or damage to the cable itself.
    3. Monitor Settings:
    Access the monitor's menu (usually through buttons on the monitor) and reset the color settings to default.
    4. Graphics Drivers:
    Update or reinstall your graphics drivers, as outdated drivers can cause color issues.
    5. GPU Settings:
    Open your GPU's control panel (e.g., NVIDIA Control Panel, AMD Radeon Settings) and check the color settings, ensuring the correct ICC color profile is selected.
    6. Environmental Factors:
    Consider whether the monitor has been exposed to excessive sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures, as these can affect the display.
    7. Hardware Issues:
    If the problem persists, there might be a hardware issue with the monitor itself or the graphics card. Consider testing the monitor with another computer to isolate the problem.
    8. Night Light/Blue Light Filter:
    In Windows, check if the Night Light feature is enabled, as it can cause a blue tint. If it is, try turning it off and see if the tint disappears.
