Any resolution other than native causes contrast shift?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem:

I have an AOC Q2770PQU 27" monitor, its native resolution is 2560 x 1440 and if I switch to any other resolution the contrast or gamma (or both) suddenly changes in a way that makes it look duller and lose saturation.

And before anyone mentions this, yes I know you should use your monitor's native resolutions but I mainly bought this monitor for its resolution to work with design, but with games sometimes the 1440 resolution is a bit too demanding (I do run games at maximum settings and I have a GTX 780 Ti)

Please let me know if you have any solutions or possible causes for this.

Regards,

Carl
