I would like to know what is causing this issue and how to troubleshoot it as I can't find any pattern associated to when it happens as sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, even under similar situations and when it starts doing it, I can't figure out how to stop it from doing it till I have gone a period of time without anything but the desktop using the GPU and then it might happen next time the conditions are met.
I have an NVidia 3060ti with Win11 and two monitors. What monitors they are doesn't matter as I have had this happen with a Spectra Ultra Wide as my primary and very old Viewsonic as my secondary monitor and am currently having it happen with a new CRUA ultra low latency gaming monitor as my primary and a new Hisense Smart TV as my secondary monitor. In both cases the primary is running by Display Port and the Secondary is connected by HDMI. Now the situations that might cause this is either running a game on the primary while trying to play video on the second monitor or streaming videos on both monitors at the same time. When it happens, everything will appear normal on the primary monitor but any video playing on the secondary monitor and only videos that are playing will go extremely saturated in red. Everything else on the monitor will look normal and the video when paused will look normal but if a video is playing, it pretty much turns red. This is extremely annoying when it happens and I just want to know how to prevent if from happening.
I will already throw out the answer to the question I expect to be asked: No, they are not running at the same refresh rate. In both cases, the primary is running at a much higher refresh rate than the secondary monitor. With the first setup it was 144hz and 120hz and with the current setup it is 180hz and 30hz and 30hz is all the Smart TV will run at in 4k.
