I have two of the same monitor and I have connected them to a dock, one with an HDMI cable and one with a DisplayPort cable.
One of my colleagues has complained about a noticeable difference between the pictures but I can't see any.
Windows settings says they have the same resolution @ 1080p, refresh rate @ 60Hz, colour depth etc.
Is it possible that the two of the same monitors receiving a signal from the same machine via the same dock would display differently due to a different cable?
