Pale colors when resolution is set to 1920x1080 in Standalone Game

Hello all,

I’m experiencing this strange issue. As in the title I noticed that when I set the resolution settings in my game to 1920x1080 fullscreen in Standalone Game the image becomes pale, as if there’s less contrast. This happens only with that resolution. I tried to make a screenshot but surprise: in the screenshot the colors are ok. So why do I see this when I play in the editor using Play as Standalone? Will this happen in the finished game too? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a HDR capable monitor? It may be that the monitor switches into HDR mode and the renderer isn’t configured for it.

Thanks for answering.
I have a Samsung UHD 4K monitor that doesn’t seem to support HDR. But why does that happen only in that resolution? Isn’t it strange?

Then I don’t know. Maybe the Samsung monitor has some “1920x1080 means it’s TV material” mode? You might want to check the various picture mode settings in the monitor.

First of all, your answers were helpful, thanks.
I fixed it, I found that in the Nvidia Control Panel that resolution was not in the PC resolutions list but only in the UHD/HD/SD one. I just added that resolution and now the problem is gone.
