Faded/Washed Out Colors

[Carl DaBeast]

I recently bought and installed a GTX 1050 Ti. After installing the drivers and setting everything up I had to restart the computer.

When the computer turned on again the colors on the screen were very grey, dull, and washed out.

If I go into the NVIDIA control panel and slide the hue back and forth it fixes it temporarily.

Is this a known bug with a fix?

Here are two examples of the different colors.

Under the start menu choose "calibrate display color". Follow the on-screen instructions.

It appears to be a problem of too high contrast.

I tried this, it made it worse instead for some reason.

Make sure to first set your monitor settings and nvidia color settings all to default values first, then use windows color calibration. @Carl DaBeast

What would you say the default value is? Max it all out? Lower it to 0? What is default?

There should be a "factory reset" option for most monitors. Otherwise things such as contrast and brightness is normally 50%. @Carl DaBeast

Open the Nvidia control panel and go to the resolutions tab and change the "Output dynamic range" to full RGB 4:4:4

YCbCr444 NVidia set it to the tv output because your using hdmi.
