I thought i would post this up because it is something i came across with one of my monitors and it is a very frustating situation.
If you have a Nvidea GPU and your monitor is attached with a HTML cable or Disply port to HTML cable you may notice your monitor looks a bit cloudy almost as if it had a cataract, you can mess with your monitors settings and change the colour options in Nvideas control panel and it still wont look correct well the fix is simple so here goes.
Firstly the reason your screen looks the way it does is because it is attached via one of the two cables mentioned above this makes nvidea drivers think it is a television and not a monitor this in turn results in the dynamic range being restricted to Limited (16-235), this causes the odd milky gloss over your screen, there are a few fixes the first is to see if you can use a different type of cable DVI or displayport cable, you can also fix it without paying extra to do this firstly make sure your Nvidea drivers are up to date after this right click your desktop and select Nvidea control panel then select Adjust desktop colour settings, now you will see Dynamic range and if you have updated your driver you will have a dropdown enabling you to change the options between Limited and Full, select Full and click apply your screen may go black for a few seconds but after that the milky overtone should be gone and your screen should look great.
The other method is to navigate to the same place and look for Digital colour format then swap it from RGB to YCbCr444 again after you click apply your screen may go black for a few seconds.
