Unfortunately this is the reason you should always have the exact same monitors for dual monitor setup, without calibration the image may be completely different, especially in cheaper monitor where the color delta may be up to 10-15 (up to 1.5 is considered professional grade accuracy and up to 3 is considered very good for non-professional use, over 5 is considered off). Some monitors are warmer and have vanilla white instead of fresh chalk white, some monitors have different gammuts, contrasts, brightness, colors, input lags... so many things can be different that the overall experience is "annoying", because the bad attributes are amplyfied if have comparison right next to it.

So you can try to play with different setting but I am afraid that you wont be able to fix more than 50% of the overall difference, choose which monitor you like better, get another one and sell the worse one.

That works about 95% of the time, but not even that's guaranteed. They really need to be out of the same batch. We've had noticeably different colour rendering on the same monitors but different production months.

true, but if you buy from the same shop at the same time, it should be from the same batch. The seller can help you match the same batch monitors as he knows when each batch of monitors was ordered and arrived by serial number. And in the end you can test the monitors next to each other before buying. However I dont think there wont be much difference if any, as long as the producing company didnt change the internal hardware between batches.
