Hi I have three Asus VP28U monitors on my PC as well a Sony TV. For some reason the monitors (all three of them) change the brightness of my browser window (just that window) as I scroll (I can actually find a part of a website where this happens!!!). If I drag the same window to the TV I don't have the same issue. I've never come across anything like this and it's getting unusable as it's so bright when it turns up I can't read the test and it always seems to do it on screens with lots of white. My monitors are plugged in with a mixture of HDMI and Display port and I've updated all the drivers. Any ideas would be appericated.

If it is a white background / page it could be dimming it to protect from the brightness. A few monitors / TVs so that.

Looking at the monitor specs, do you have the blue light filter enabled? Does the same happen when you turn it off?
No still does it. It's odd as it's not the whole screen just that one window and it stays bright even if I open a different tab.
Here's a quick video of it: https://youtu.be/h_2oHHW5mL4

Have a look if the monitor has an auto brightness setting, failing that another option is to look at the power options on the pc in the display settings look for again auto brightness, although at this point I've had a few Guinness so worth a try

Does look like a software issue based on that video.
Tried doing this if it's available? https://pureinfotech.com/disable-content-adaptive-brightness-control-cabc-windows-11/
Do you have the same extensions installed on both Chrome and Edge? Have you tried it with all of them removed?
Any background apps running that could be affecting it?

I don't have that option (or any brightness options tbh). I don't really use Edge so it's not got anything installed on it at all, just tried Opera and that isn't having the same issue.
I can't think of anything, maybe wallpaper engine somehow, I'll try in safe mode and see what happens, it's driving me crackers and giving me eye strain at the same time.

I think this person is having the same problem: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/strange-chrome-issue.18954718/
Could potentially be an issue with all Chromium v103 based browsers on W11 with certain hardware? Opera could still be based on an older version hence why it isn't affected.

Well at least I wasn't the only one with this problem. I was getting close to going for a full reinstall for the sake of my eyes as nobody else had seemed to have this problem. As of now it seems to have stopped doing it so can only assume there was an update that fixed it as I didn't do anything since I gave up trying last night
Thanks for your help with this everyone
