Device automatically fine-tunes light levels for HDR display
Hey there, I'm facing a problem with my LG - 27GL850-B monitor. When I enable HDR, the brightness changes randomly and subtly but clearly. It's frustrating, though I really enjoy the enhanced colors in HDR. I've checked some advice online: I tried turning off auto-brightness in the Windows display settings (no option available), changed my monitor settings from "gamer 1" to "standard," and even switched power settings to full power without success. I suspect the "black stabilizer" feature might be the issue, but it can't be adjusted through any menu. Any suggestions would be super helpful!
Welcome! Have you disabled any energy-saving features in the monitor’s menu? LG indicates Smart Energy Savings is active, likely relying on an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust brightness according to room lighting. This operates independently from color settings like standard, vivid, or gaming modes, so you’ll need to turn it off separately.
The option "smart energy savings" is unavailable and appears disabled.
Have you explored using HDR on your Windows system? It’s possible the brightness changes come from the HDR algorithm adapting the backlight, or it might work consistently across different scenes.
