Very dimm screen after enabling lightboost.

So i enabled lightboost on my acer gn246hl, and now my screen seems so dim? When i take it off it goes back to normal brightess. Is this a thing ?

lightboost simply just messes with the led making it flicker to reduce ghosting or somthing  , thus it looks dim

Yeah i could see that ingame, it messes up with the led

my tv has somthing similar to simulate high hz, tho it looks kinda flickery and low brightness to me it annoys me soi turn it off :v however it totally removes ghosting n stuff

 

i think lightboost is nothing different there, if u dont like the dim, dont use it  ... coz not much more u can do x_x  sadly led flashing technologies drop ur brightness alot or just give flickering

Turning that on pulses the backlight with each frame in order to make motion blur/ghosting/etc. less noticeable.  The side effect is your backlight is now at full power for only a fraction of the time instead of constantly, so of course it looks dim for this reason.
