Hello all, been a while since I've come around these parts.
I have a problem and I haven't been able to find a solution or explanation yet on the net.
So I have a Windows 10, Intel 8700k, Nvidia 1070 GTX and the 27 inch 1440 res IPS monitor using display port. I previously had a 23 inch Eizo monitor with none of my current issues and nothing changed except the monitor and cable.
I installed the latest monitor drivers from Asus and gpu drivers from Nvidia.
So when I use this new monitor I have noticed a few gamma issues. I've been able to find workarounds for some of them.

- Desktop gamma seems high. Typical white washed over bright look to everything. Used Windows calibration to lower gamma some and it's not more acceptable.
- Had trouble with super small text so I'm scaling to 125%. Text is less crisp now as expected.
- VLC player videos play with super high gamma. I went into the video effects to lower the gamma a lot. It looks okay now but surprised it was so far off default.
- Youtube looks fine but Xfinity in Chrome looks completely white washed gamma like the VLC videos. The only thing I could find to fix it was by turning hardware acceleration off in Chrome. I feel like this isn't an ideal solution and I'm not sure but it seems to lower video quality. Turning hardware acceleration off did get rid of that gamma issue.
