Hi all,
I'm really hoping that someone can give me a helping hand on this one. I've had my G751 for 3 years now and in the last week or so, I've noticed that the contrast would randomly change on the monitor. This is regardless of if I have the colour settings to be based on the application I'm using, or if I'm getting the Nvidia control panel to over ride everything.
Curiously, I've managed to whittle it down to the fact that if something connects, or is disconnected to the laptop, be it via USB or Bluetooth, it'll bump down the contrast. I tried to record it in Camtasia and the effect couldn't be seen. The only way to get around this issue is to go into Splendid and change the colour mode back to Vivid, which will make it look like it did before. It might not sound like much, but to have light greys becoming a lot darker, it really does go for my eyes.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. I have tried updating the Nvidia drivers, and it didn't help, so I rolled back to a driver from a few months ago and it still doesn't resolve the issue. I find it out that devices connecting to the laptop would result in this. I have also disabled the adaptive brightness feature in the power plan settings. I'm running on Windows 10 64 bit, everything is up to date and the GPU is the GTX970M.
