Hi guys, just bought this monitor recently. Huge difference to me when jumping from TN to IPS.

But when gaming, I notice that darker colors are slightly off, it gets way too dark. When I try to calibrate via the monitor settings, most of them are grayed out. I'm using a 1080TI, tried connecting using display cable & HDMI cable. Options are still grayed out.

What monitor brand is this? This can happen to some monitors if you enable HDR. If it is enabled, just turn it off and you should be able to adjust the settings.

what profile are you running on your monitor? is it the default profile? do you have some additional adaptive sync feature turned on like BFI?

Asus TUF gaming monitor. It's default on racing mode (high contrast).

Edit: turned off HDR setting. Working fine now. Any drawbacks to turning HDR off?
