Hello, I'm having an issue with my ROG Swift 1440p monitor, which I bought yesterday. It had arrived with no dead pixels, everything works to my knowledge; however, after playing a few games, I've noticed that the gamma or brightness is insanely high, and this actually makes the quality of the graphics look even worse on this monitor, compared to my old 24" 1080p 60hz panel, so I figured something wasn't right. After hours of researching, I had finally realized that this is most likely a gamma issue. I can adjust the brightness in the settings for this monitor, but it doesn't seem to do any good with the quality.
After tinkering around with Windows 7 colour calibration, I finally figured out it "might" (must be gamma), as whenever I reduce the gamma slider, the picture dims down to a darker, more crystal, less foggy lighting, and that's exactly the way it should be.
My issue is mainly with the Windows colour calibration tool, as whenever I adjust the gamma to a suitable level, the moment I lift my finger off the mouse, the gamma goes back to how it used to be, instantly. When I save the settings, it goes dark to the gamma I set before, but instantly goes straight back to the original settings, and it doesn't stick. Whenever I click 'reload current calibration', it goes darker for a split second, then back to the washed out, cloudy setting it was previously on. I'm thinking it must be some sort of third-party interference from maybe photoshop, Sony Vegas, or Nvidia? Perhaps the ROG Swift monitor driver?
When I attempt to change the colour settings in Nvidia Control Panel, the same applies as above, and it does the exact same pattern. It resets to the original colour. Please can someone guide me on how to resolve this issue? It's an expensive monitor, and I don't think anything is physically defective... Thanks
