Contrast rising when watching videos (when graphics acceleration is enabled)

Browser Support
,
1

Description of the issue:
The contrast rises when any video is played (only when graphics acceleration is
enabled). It doesn’t really look great, it looks artificial and I much prefer the look before it rises the contrast. Its completely normal when graphics acceleration is disabled.

Steps to Reproduce
You just need to play a video with graphics acceleration enabled(which it is by default) you can see the difference when you scroll while a video is playing. Ex: when you’re on Youtube and you scroll down while a video is playing, the contrast goes back to normal during the scroll but increases as soon as you stop

Actual Result

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:
Every time

Operating System and Brave Version
Windows 11
Brave ver. 1.66.118

Additional Information:
All drivers on my pc are updated and I’ve checked all related settings in windows itself and even the software for my pc (MyASUS) and disabling the acceleration in the browser was the only way to fix this.

In saying all that, did you actually change graphics settings in whatever graphics card control panel you might have? Or did you just mess with settings within Windows and all itself?

Part of why I’m asking is if things work well with acceleration off but you have issues when it’s on, it guarantees that issue is with the graphics card. It can be any number of settings, but one of the things mentioned by some would be things like MFAA, such as discussed in link below:

Granted, the issue I linked to is different from yours, but just wanted to show as an example.

Actually I did and also just double checked right now and I’ve messed around with all the settings related to colours and video enhancement in the but to no avail. I think I should contact the graphics card company. Anyways, thank you for responding.

Yeah, I had shared similar from people before as well but linked to yours just because was recent. But been something shared for quite a while now, among other things

Plus open Github

The other solutions have their issues

  • you’re losing setting you might be putting back on if you reset or clean reinstall therefore the issues can come back easily

  • resetting graphic settings will most likely turn off g-sync losing its overall benefit everywhere else instead of isolating just brave (chromium in general) not working well with anti-aliasing (at least when it comes to g-sync)

  • turning off hardware acceleration in brave does 3 things: takes away from your CPU power(even if it’s not much), can’t watch videos at their highest true quality, and stuns other things from being able to work properly in brave if they rely on gpu (ex: VR videos).

This solution only directs to brave have things with sacrificing hardware acceleration directly since it only has an issue with antialysis.

So this should be the first thing to try before looking at other solutions.
