Monitor has horrible black-levels at native resolution.

The monitor in question is a Fujitsu 23" SL23T-1. Nothing flashy, but for browsing the webz it gets the job done.

The problem i have is that when running the display at it's native 1080p resolution, blacks are really just a dark grey. But when forcing windows to output a 1440p image to the screen, the blacks are as dark as you'd expect. The same goes for games. Any resolution lower than 1080p also have horrible blacks.

I have a GTX 660Ti on the latest driver installed and no adjustments to colors in Nvidia Control Panel. Also no tweaks done in Windows Color Management.

This is really bugging me out as the occasional photo editing is a nightmare because I always have to readjust the contrast because it looks different on other monitors.

All NVIDIA graphics cards have a bug where they switch to limited RGB mode at 1080p over HDMI and DisplayPort. You'll need to download the NVIDIA full range RGB toggle utility.
