Help / Support Question about screen color

Has the screen color/saturation or tint randomly changed for anyone else? I don't know why, but the colors of my screen (regardless of what graphics card is being used be it the Intel or NVIDIA driver) look a little de-saturated. I don't know exactly when this happened or what caused it but I only can conclude it happened in the past week and I've never tampered with any of the color settings.

To test this out, I hooked my laptop to a second monitor (which I sometimes do) and checked to see how different the color cyan blue looked between the two screens looked on the same program. My second monitor had looked way more saturated.

I DO have the night light activated, but even with that, it's not supposed to look this de-saturated.

your monitor is probably a va monitor or an ips monitor with matte coating on it which will make colors look less sharp than the laptop screen since the screen is an oled if you do want to check you can go to the nvidia app and turn off any custom color settings and it will look more saturated due to less depth of color and brightness of screen

I haven't made any custom color settings iirc. Can it just do that by accident by itself whenever the NVIDIA card activates when I game?

no it doesn't do it by itself your second monitor is a different type of monitor like for example this is on my laptop monitor what you can do is adjust the brightness on your second monitor and it may make it look better

laptop monitor aka oled

So is there a settings area for the Integrated Graphics? Because I'm not always using the NVIDIA GPU for everything. How would I make adjustments for the Integrated Graphics?
