That display is reported to have too much color saturation if using the default presets. The only way you can set it up good is to manually adjust the individual colors. I also recommend at the very least using Nvidia's Display Wizard color sliders to get the hue level right for each color if you don't have actual calibration gear or software, which made a big difference on a Samsung I set up for a friend.

Some sites show a few examples of custom settings profiles people have used, but to a large degree it's personal preference.

With settings like that, you're not exactly going to cure that problem of the colors being too saturated that you mentioned above.

thanks for the info wiz , still too saturated , perhaps any other calibration or something, on the nvidia control panel , i think the srgb setup has every color right except green, or perhaps there is another way, i just want them to be as the colors on my 2405 were wich were all right.

It's a simple matter of the R,G,B amounts being the same as color warmth, or saturation. My God man you've got them cranked up near or at 100%, what do you expect? Of course they're going to look saturated. You've been shown several profiles that have much lower R,G,B settings, I suggest you make note of that. :wink:
