8. Additionally, you can try adjusting the brightness of your screen to further enhance the display. Look for the Brightness and color option in the Display settings and adjust the slider accordingly.
9. If the issue persists, you may want to consider calibrating your monitor. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings or Screen resolution. In the Display settings, navigate to the Color calibration option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Update or Reinstall Graphics Driver
To update or reinstall your graphics driver, follow these steps:
1. Open the Start menu and type “Device Manager” in the search bar. Press Enter to open the Device Manager.
