I've got two identical Lenovo Thinkvision monitors, but no matter how much I tweak the RGB settings, they still look different. I've spent about 40 minutes adjusting them for the best match, and while the RGB and white seem close, the left monitor has pinkish lines on my spreadsheets and the whites lean more towards blue instead of yellow. I'm struggling to make the left monitor lose the pink tint without affecting the reds or making the blues less vivid without turning everything a bit too red and green. Is there anything else I can try, or do these monitors just not want to cooperate?

Honestly, it seems like you're dealing with some natural variation between the panels. At that price range, a certain discrepancy can be expected. It's a bit frustrating, but sometimes you just can't get them to match perfectly, no matter how many adjustments you make.
You could try running a color calibration. If you’re on Windows, it's built in and can be found through the Control Panel or just by searching for it. I found a decent guide that still works well. It might help in adjusting the colors more accurately.
First, make sure both monitors are connected the same way. Are they both using HDMI cables? If one's using a USB-C dock, that might contribute to the differences. I’d recommend trying a factory reset on both monitors, applying default presets to see if that helps. If they still look different, you could try fiddling with the settings from there.
Both are using HDMI, but one monitor goes through a Targus USB-C Universal DV4K Docking Station. The left monitor connects via USB-C to HDMI on the dock.
