Game changes my monitors brightness!?

[lfken2012]

When i open the game, the monitors will automatically change my monitors brightness, then when i quit, my monitors still pretty bright.

I try to reinstall NVIDIA driver and the game, but is not working.

My Display Card is ASUS 1070, Window 10 64bit 1703

P.S The other game is not change my monitors brightness, only the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Games don't change hardware settings. Must be something else.

Depends. Basically all monitors have a too dark gamma, so all images e.g. on the Internet have too bright gamma to balance this out. This was always the case, even in the era of CRT monitors.

A few years ago, I happened to accidentally buy a flatscreen with linear gamma, so everything I saw was too bright. Had to tamper with Windows color calibration to get an almost standard view.

And the thing is: Some games would ignore this extra layer of image manipulation and would render their colors horrifically, e.g. X Rebirth. And some games would reset the calibration (making everything too bright) so that I'd have to call the Windows calibrator again to trigger the settings again.

Thank you for the information, I think the problem is about my Windows 10 1703 update. Because i play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on Window 10 1607, the monitors is normal. But on the Windows 10 1703 the monitors become too bright :(

How "too bright"? Does black become gray and everything else also slightly brighter? And/or do colors near full brightness become all white / washed out? Or does black and white stay the same, but only the colors in between (especially middle brightness) are too bright?

If black is gray, one of the reasons could be a graphics card driver setting where you can define the amount of color steps between I think 216 and 255. Maybe that's even resolution sensitive (meaning maybe it can be set for every resolution differently), so you'd have to switch to your DX:MD resolution on desktop and then make that change. etc. 1000s of possible causes.

Full brightness become all white.

Just now I try to play Window Mode DX:MD, The monitors is normal. But when to change to full screen mode, my monitors become too bright :(

Do you by any chance have some stupid monitor-specific software installed?
I'm not talking about GPU-drivers, but software that came with the monitor.

I know this is a old post. My monitor went bright after playing this game.

Well hello 2017 :)
I'll simply have to install DE:MD and have a look for myself, here in 2024.

I searched on google and this the first post i saw. I assumed after quitting the game the brightness would reset but didn't happen.

I -think- I played this on a Nvidia GTX 970 or 1070 paired with a i7 5820k.
No problems with that.
Now it's a Nvidia RTX 3070ti and a R7 7800X3D.
No problems either ... other than this gave me the urge to replay :)
