Display worst on Linux than on Windows on dual boot laptop

On my laptop with Windows 7 i installed also Linux Mint Cinnamon but the display on Linux Mint is so bad i can't watch at the monitor, it's hurting my eyes. I find this very strange because both operating system are using the same hardware. I even set the same display settings on linux as they are on Windows: display is 100% on both, gamma is 1.0 on both, monitor refresh rate is 60Hz on both, there are some hue and saturation settings on Windows which i can't find in Linux Mint and i don't know if there are such settings for linux available at all. On Windows i am using f.lux and on linux i installed redshift. But even with all this the display on Linux Mint is hurting my eyes and the display on Windows 7 is not. I also installed Xubuntu, to test other operating system, but it's the same thing.
I am out of ideas what can i do more.
My laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad T420, monitor is LCD with 1366768 resolution, video card is Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000.
