Did NVIDIA's latest driver update dim the screen for you guys?
After I installed the new driver from GeForce Experience, my screen seemed a bit darker. I checked my monitors settings and nothing was changed, they were all the same. I tried restarting my pc too and it still was dimmed. Did this happen with anyone else?

Driver update is 417.22

If it did it would have reset brightness/gamma/ and contrast. I know you said you checked monitor settings, but did you on this page specifically?

I haven't checked that yet. I'll look into that.

Although, when I've installed drivers in the past I've never seemed to have this problem.

Ok I just upped the brightness in the Nvidia Control Panel and now it's back to normal. Thanks a lot :steamhappy:

Welcome. I've made the mistake after a driver update in the past and forget sometimes still.
