Viewsonic xg240r white washed

Greetings all
First post here but last week I picked up a new xg240r.
I tested it for dead pixels and all that and it looks to have zero which is great. I have an Asus VG248QE at work and wanted to try the newer panel from viewsonic at home.
I have a gtx 1070 card that I enable g-sync with and used the calibration settings found here ( https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/viewsonic-xg2402) on the monitor:
Gaming Settings= CUSTOM 1
Rampage Response= Fast
Black Stabilization= 11 (higher reduces contrast, too much lower noticeably eats away at dark detail)
Brightness= 38 (according to preferences and lighting)
Contrast= 70
Color Saturation= 50
Gamma= 2.6
AMD FreeSync= On
Color Temperature= Full Color Control
R= 100
G= 90
B= 92
The only game I am really playing is Apex and the colors look very flat. It also seems like the areas that are brighter in the game almost make me squint they are hurting my eyes.
I read about using digital vibrance and haven't played around with it yet. Anybody have the same deal out of the box and have made it look nice and rich?
I also had a lot of tearing issues with the 144hz it appeared, so I did turn on vsync in the NVCP, made sure it was disable in game. The issue was still present. I read about limiting the fps in game to -3 fps below, but Apex origin setting seems to also not work when I set the +fps_max 141
So I then downloaded RTSS to set the fps on there to 141 and got that to work in Apex. It seems like setting it to 141 fps made a big difference in the tearing I was getting.
So... now the colors. Any ideas or settings people have experimented with to get better colors. When I get home tonight I am thinking about just taking the monitor setting I have and messing around the the Nvidia Digital Vibrance.
Any thoughts welcome!
thanks all
