So I got this monitor 9 days ago, and we’re loving it a lot. Had some issues with nvidia not always detecting it as a g sync monitor, so I decided to ditch my nvidia driver from April to the newest from December, cleaning all previous settings as my previous monitor was running default confic anyway and I like swiping previous updates.
To my biggest horror, the colors changed. The image became much darker, and colors like red were neon like.
I read about this issue and noticed that my monitor is a wide gamut. But if I could use this monitor for 7 days without any issues and more friendly colors, then I assume its the drivers that are troubling me, even when my monitor has these extreme color settings.
I’d tried to dampen the vibrance, and even change color, and tried warmer and cold colors on my monitor, but even though it is a little easier on my eyes, the eye strain will eventually kick in.
Before the update I could play for hours without any issues, but after the update which oversaturated everything my eyes really hurts after a few minutes of using it.
Does anyone know what could cause this? I’d tried to reset both my monitor and nvidia to factory details but without any luck. I’d managed to dampen the red color but I still feel eye strain.
I tried to make the full dynamic range under nvidia to limited, which seemed to dampen the colors. Maybe a little too much, but it did delay the feeling of eye strain.
Is it stupid to change the settings so much when you are already affected? Does it take days for the eye strain to go away from the display so I can see if it helped?
