Youtube videos are too bright!

[C2aimar123]

Hi!
Recently I added an add-on for youtube to chrome. Then my videos got too bright. Dark colors are alot brighter than they are supposed to be! All blacks are just gray, not black! It's like the video player adds a tint over the video to make it brighter for some reason.

I messed around with all sorts of settings in chrome and in my add-ons, disabled all add-ons, reinstalled flash and chrome itself. Then I found a way to fix the problem is to disable 'hardware acceleration' in flash player's setting if I use flash player. But the problem is still there with HTML5 player.
This doesnt happen at all in IE, both flash and HTML5 players are normal.
On Firefox It happened as well but when I installed flash to Firefox it fixed the issue on flash player.. But when I enable HTML5 player and use it then it's too bright again..
Right now I'm using flash player with Chrome and it works, but I want to use HTML5 player like I've been doing for a long time, flash player lags in places and I generally don't like it as much.
I've had this issue before.. but it somehow resolved itself. This time I'm not that lucky it seems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

PS: I know this is probably the wrong place to post something like this, but I couldn't find any other forum to ask about youtube related stuff.. And I am using Windows 8... If someone knows where I should ask this or if someone can help than I'll be very thankful!

Dude all you need to do is remove the add-on from Chrome.
Click on the three lines in the top right corner, then on settings and on the left-hand side will be 'extensions'.
Click on this.
Then find the add on that you added and to the right of the box with the add-on there will be a bin sign. Click on this.
A box will pop up and just click remove.
Done!

Hope I helped

Doesn't work.
It's not the addons fault. As I said, ive had this happend before, didnt even know about this addon back then.
As I also said, it happens on firefox, I dont have any addons on firefox..
Thanks for the contribution though!

So from another forum I got a tip to try and change the video overlay settings for my graphics card.
It was set so video player changes color settings.. But i changed it to use nvida's settings and i had to put the dynamic range to 0-255. There's an option called 'Limited 16-235' , If I use that option, the video goes bright again..
So is the HTML5 player limiting the range of color the player outputs or something?

I think so.
The second thing I would have said was to mess around with your GPU's colour settings while watching a Youtube video.

So I think you should just keep it at 0-255.

Also, you could try calibrating your monitor cos that will probably help a bit too.

Uninstall Chrome and reinstall it back. See if it works.

Apparently it's not a problem with Chrome...

Go to your control panel's display settings (settings tab), click the "advanced" button, troubleshoot tab, drag your hardware acceleration bar to "none" and click "OK".

Go back to YouTube & refresh the page. The videos should show up after this.

There's no troubleshoot tab there for me.
