Have you reinstalled the graphics driver again? and check if your monitor didn't change any settings like brightness and what not.

yes i did install the driver and the monitor driver was removed so i installed it and it is still darker than before is this normal to happen ? maybe the old driver was faulty and after uninstalling everything with ddu it set everything to normal?

Probably running a different color format and range.

idealy u should be running either RGB - Full range, or YCBCR 444

 

Chances are if ur screen is darker, but richer, you 'were' running rgb-limited which is kinda washed out , no black. But are now runnign full range.

It shouldn't, that is very odd... try with a different monitor and check if you still get the same thing

Well test 1st see if u can make it look like u had it by choosing RGB - Limited.

That way you know if that is indeed what has happened.

 

Then decide yourself which u prefer.

 

Full range RGB and YCBCR 444 is better than RGB-Limited.

HDMI limited range black level is another common reason for not having black blacks. Why that needed to ever exist is beyond me.

If its a Nvidia card go to the nivdia control panel.

go to change resolution.

At the botton will be options for' output color format' and 'output dynamic range'
