So have a bit of an issue with YouTube. its a hit or a miss of if it is going to do this but, its happening now almost every channel i look at today. 

 

every video plays in shades of green. (image bellow).

 

ive tried clearing the browser cheche switches browsers and all the normal stuff. it use to go away if i switches the video play back to 4k, but this doesn't work either, if i deselect and click on something on my other monitor that is some times plugged into my laptop, it some times goes away. 

 

I have an acer nitro 5 with a gtx 1650 and a Ryzen 5 4600 and 8 gb of ram. the ssd is not near full either. any advice or tips? 

 

p.s YouTube adds aren't affected and neither in ltt

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Something similar happened to a relative's PC and reinstalling the video drivers fixed it.

I've had this happen on two different machines.  I'm thinking it's a YouTube encoding issue -- not the least of which is because you can pause and replay the video and get identical artifacts.  I feel like if it was a driver issue it'd be random noise.

That's exactly what it is. Given how it's seeming to happen in every new video on every channel I watch, I'm wondering if this is actually an accident, or if they are encoding data in those 'green flashes'.
