Monitor changes settings in fullscreen games.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem before.

I have adjusted my monitor settings in OSD to make it look as good as possible to my eyes. However, sometimes when I enter a game that's in fullscreen, my monitor randomly flashes a "HDMI 2" in the top right corner as if you changed your input source and all the settings changes that I have done get reverted. Switching a game to Borderless fixes the problem but it's not ideal since performance is better when playing in Exclusive Fullscreen.

Got a VA panel? Samsung? Get to Nvidia Control panel and try setting scaling to no scaling. (if you use nvidia)

I'm using LG 24MP88HV-S (IPS) in combination of GTX 1070.
I switched from "Aspect ratio" to "No scaling", but that unfortunately did not fix the issue.

Alright. What if you change in game resolution to borderless/fullscreen windowed?

But that's what I am trying to avoid. :D Playing on Borderless = colors are fine. Playing on Fullscreen = colors are washed out a.k.a settings applied in OSD have no effect.
