Windows 10 Discoloration when watching online video

The discoloration issue you are experiencing when watching online videos, particularly with the red hues standing out significantly, could be attributed to various factors. Here are some potential causes and steps to address the problem: 1. Video Playback Settings: - Quality Settings: Confirm the video settings in your browser or video player. Sometimes, videos might automatically play in high quality, causing color issues due to bandwidth limitations or video rendering constraints. - Color Calibration: Ensure your monitor is correctly calibrated in the display settings to produce accurate colors. Check contrast, brightness, and color settings. 2. Graphics Driver: - Update Drivers: Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and download the latest drivers suitable for your system. - Reinstallation: Consider reinstalling the GPU drivers to ensure proper installation. 3. Hardware Acceleration: - Browser Settings: Double-check the hardware acceleration settings in your browser. Try toggling them to see if it impacts the color reproduction. Some users experience issues with hardware acceleration causing color problems. 4. Color Profile: - Color Management: In your system settings, manage color profiles. Ensure the correct color profile is selected and experiment with different profiles to see if it alleviates the issue. 5. Operating System Settings: - Review display settings in Windows, looking for any color configuration settings that might cause color shifts. - Check Night Light settings (if enabled), as it can affect color temperature. 6. Monitor: - Calibration: Ensure your monitor is calibrated correctly using the monitor's display settings. - Manufacturer Settings: Reset the monitor settings to factory defaults. 7. Browser Extensions: - Disable Extensions: Temporarily disable any browser extensions that might be affecting video playback. 8. Test on External Monitor/Device: - If possible, try connecting your system to an external monitor or another device to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem lies with the monitor or the system. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and potentially resolve the discoloration issue you are encountering when watching online videos. If the problem persists, consider contacting the manufacturer's technical support for further assistance.
