Game "Brightness" Changes Randomly
4.5
The screen gets brighter and darker as you move around in the game, which is distracting.
Symptoms
- Flickering brightness
- Auto-dimming
- Unstable contrast
Possible Causes
- Dynamic Contrast on monitor
- Windows "Auto-Brightness"
- Local Dimming
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable "Dynamic Contrast"
In your monitor's physical menu, turn off "DCR" or "Dynamic Contrast".
2
Disable "Content Adaptive Brightness"
Windows Settings > Display > Brightness > Uncheck "Help improve battery by optimizing content".
3
Turn Off "Local Dimming"
If your monitor has zones, they can "pop" in and out, causing flickering.
When to See a Technician
Monitor "Eco" modes are the biggest culprit for annoying brightness shifts during gaming.
