i know this as an old post but I thought I’d answer this for anyone finding it (or what I believe to be the solution, if someone could try the steps and confirm please?)

some answers i’ve found suggest increasing the brightness to 108.5% to compensate. if you do this it’ll make your video too bright for other people. (Not everyone sees this issue)

For machines that do have the problem, the issue can be one of two things

* that your Colour Display’s Dynamic Range has been set to “limited” (16-235) instead of the full range (0-255).
* that dynamic contrast enhancement is enabled on your display

(Through testing across various machines in the company, we worked this occurring due to the installation of Adobe development software, since machines without that software did not have this problem)

If you have an NVIDIA card, go to NVIDIA Control Panel -> Video -> Adjust Video Colour Settings -> Colour Adjustments -> Advanced -> Dynamic Range and set to “Full”. Untick “Dynamic Contrast adjustment”

again i’d be grateful if anyone else confirmed this to be the case for them too.

thanks
