Adjust the brightness, contrast, gamma and other parameters of the screen, and it will reproduce colors better.
Create comfortable lighting conditions before proceeding with the setup. The light should not shine directly on the screen or shine in your eyes.
How to customize the screen using hardware buttons
If your monitor has buttons for selecting image parameters, then it has its own settings, independent of the OS. Use them for optimal quality.
For such a task, you need a visual reference, so special services will come in handy. For example, Monteon is a Russian-language site with tests for adjusting the monitor. The visitor of the resource has access to special images along with descriptions of how they should look on a properly configured display.
Just adjust the screen so that the test images on it match the descriptions as best as possible.
Before doing this, do not forget to check that the monitor is set to the maximum resolution. In Windows, this can be done under Start → Settings → System → Display. In macOS, by opening the Apple menu "System Preferences" → "Displays" → "Monitor".
The higher the resolution, the clearer the screen image.
How to customize the screen using built-in programs
If you have an external monitor without buttons or a laptop, then you can customize the image using the built-in tools. Such programs are available in Windows and macOS. They are simple and instruct the user in detail on how to select the optimal settings.
If you have already configured the display using the hardware buttons, you can also try calibrating it in the system program. Perhaps she will improve the result.
On Windows
Open the system search, type the word "calibration" in it and run the found application. A series of tests will appear on the screen to adjust the display. Complete them by following the system prompts.
In Windows 10, you can also use the "ClearType Text Customizer". It helps to make the text that appears on the screen more readable. Search for ClearType to start the setup wizard.
On macOS
Expand the Apple menu at the top of the screen and go to System Preferences → Displays. Then go to the Color tab and click Calibrate. Follow the assistant's prompts to set up your monitor for the best possible way.
