External Monitor Display Looks Very Bad Quality/Color Issues
This monitor is called Samsung Syncmaster t240hd. Its an hdtv monitor with 1920 x1200 resolution for monitor. I believe if used as a TV, its 1920 x 1080 though but i wont use it for tv. Anyways, the first thing i noticed was the monitor isn't straight. If you look at it from the side, it looks like its slouching. Is there a way to fix this? Thus adjust it a bit higher?
The other thing is when i look at numbers/words, its a lot harder to read than my old monitor? Thus you see its much easier to read the same thing on my laptop screen compared to this monitor. My laptop is dell xps 15 9550 and very nice. But its just harder to read on this hdtv. I tried making brightness higher than 45 and this makes it much worst. The lower it is, a bit better but its just harder to read on it. Basically its looks very yellowish? For example when i go to a site on another forum, where most of it is white... if i open the same page on this monitor, its yellow. Its a really ugly color and just hard to look at the screen.
Can someone tell me how i can fix this issue? Also i wasn't aware of this but this hdtv monitor has glass over the monitor. Is this how all hdtv monitors are? Is that the reason why its harder to read on this as oppose to a regular monitor?
Are there settings i can change that i can make reading words and letters much easier?
These are the settings when i click on the menu button

The Asus-VS24AH-P is my original monitor that worked very good. Display looked great. I did not make any changes to brightness or contrast etc. But this monitor no longer works.

So basically the settings of the monitor now, thats how the person who used it set it as. So im wondering what are the default settings for this. I mean, its fine but for me... its a lot harder to read the letters and numbers. So im surprised he kept the settings like this if you know what i mean. Unless this is possibly the best settings? And is it true if you use an hdtv as a monitor, it will always be like this? I do like that its 1920 x 1200 resolution but its just a lot harder to read letters and things on it. Like if i look at my laptop monitor, the picture is unbelievable. This monitor its like much harder to read.
