Hi, i got a weird problem. Whenever i try to fullscreen media preview, my screen reconnects and it makes my screen have reduced brightness. i guess it does something with its settings, because when i reset my monitor it goes back to normal. Haven't figured out what settings it changes yet.

My monitor is OLED ASUS 27" ROG Swift PG27AQDM

In Windows (11) "Display Settings", is "Night light" set to on or off? If "on", try turning it to "off".

My ASUS laptop has an automatic brightness function that I haven't been able to figure out how to disable. Not sure if yours could have something like that too?
