Google "monitor calibration."

i found a program but it didnt help,
the colors of the cintiq look kind of pale, and i dont know how to change that

I had the same problem with my Laptop-Monitor. There is an option in my nVidia-settings called "digital vibrance" that gets rid of the paleness though. Maybe something like that can be done for your cintiq, too?

Make sure the gamma of both is set to the same value (usually 2.2).

Maybe your monitor does not have the same range of colors (Gamut) than your cintiq.

On Nvidia drivers there's a section that let's you adjust the contrast among other options for each monitor.
