Monitor is changing brightness #68

Hello,

I have AOC CQ32G1 144 Hz with Display Port cable, GeForce 1080ti, the latest driver, Win10 x64. When I launch your program and move cursor on its buttons or icons on Desktop, my monitor is changing brightness a little. new button/icon = new level of brightness. Can you please tell me the reason of this strange thing?

Hello, there must be something wrong on your system. The utility uses default .NET 4.8 WPF for the UI, no special settings are used.

Most likely related to Gsync/Freesync. Go into Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Application > Program Settings > Add this tool to the list and then set "Monitor Technology" to fixed refresh and click apply.

I run a not-quite-freesync-certified monitor with a RTX 3070 myself and this flickering happens in some applications as a result of that.

Thank you, it helped. Unfortunately, I will have to do this all the time when I install new update of EldenRingFpsUnlockAndMore.

HDR monitors do this with gsync enabled and when under a certain framerate. You'll see a brightness flicker when this happens. Once the refresh rate gets above a particular framerate, it'll stop. Some applications force a monitor to a particular refresh rate, so it causes this flickering.

That explains why my previous monitor didn't have this issue, it didn't have HDR. I knew it was related to applications forcing a low refresh rate but the other half was new to me, so thank you for the explanation.
