Hey all, so the game crashed my pc, stuck my monitor on a confirmed ultra hi brightness, and supposedly fried the thing in a matter of an hour or so. video taken, PM for links, legal council has already been obtained and filed!!

Lets just say I am VERY UPSET and have obtained legal council!
what proof do you have that the two things are related? it could be you improperly set up your monitor so that any game could have caused that.
never heard of high contrast killing a brand new monitor.

I don’t really see how this is technically possible. Try resetting your monitor through the reset options in the monitors settings. Also if its new, use your warranty.

Trust me i have it turned off until I have a professional look at it tomorrow as HE plugss it in
I will show him my video as well…be careful people this game not only has bugs coming out of ever crack but now it physically will harm you as well! its a reality be careful!
Lol this is literally not physically possible. There’s no way a game displaying on a modern monitor could damage it. If you had a CRT or something and you were feeding it the wrong refresh rate, maybe, but otherwise this is bull. Sorry my man but your “700” monitor just has some stuck pixels, ie the transistors controlling those pixels failed and were going to fail anyway. This isn’t the RMA department of whatever company you bought it from.
That said, there are videos out there that cycle rapidly between red, green, and blue in an attempt to un-stick the transistors controlling those pixels. Search “stuck pixel fix” on youtube and let it play for a while, could solve your monitor problem. If not, I’d try and return it.

If you’re letting NVidia GeForce experience autoset settings for you in this game that may be the cause. I have an NV card and I do now allow and GeForce Experience stuff to run at all for any game because of issues like that.
Here’s why I think this is happening to… well just 2 of you. – THEORY-- GeForce Expernece looks at your hardware and has polled other people with the same hardware and same game. This affects all kinds of settings. So it’s basing its recommendations on an older build of the game and when you exit the game it thinks it has to reset your display brightness back to normal (from something very dark). Thus you’re blinded as it doesn’t realize there was no setting adjustment.
That being said, you can’t burn your screen out, and if you do notice it now, chances are high they were already defective and any brightness was going to make them click over. Say you’re in a space game and a sudden supernova and high intensity brightness - same result.
since you said a “new” monitor I’ll assume it’s not plasma as that’s the only screen I’d believe could really suffer a longer lasting defect that didn’t exist prior.
Hey man, I don’t know if you saw the other post I tagged you in, but that was happening to me as well and all you gotta do is perform a color calibration and it’ll fix the high contrast and such

i had a professional watch my video and also turn it on and document what he concluded. legal council has been secured. talk to you very soon war horse
You got one of the LCD engineers who manufacture displays to document this? Or some random tech that just parroted what you wanted?
While it’s nice you want to waste your money and others over a case where you’ll be embarrassed if it goes to court I’ll remind you again:
Unless your screen was a plasma or AMOLED - which at the price-point you mentioned they certainly were not, especially as plasma displays are no longer made, then those burned out pixels would have flipped over no matter what game pushed a high intensity bright light. Or a movie with a massive white supernova, or a whiter room with lights.
No matter how you slice it, the panel is at fault, not the software. But I doubt you’ll listen because people don’t like being shown/told they might be wrong in this day and age. It’s a very sad place where personal recognizance ceases to exist.

It seems your monitor was at the end of his life before you started KCD the last time. And switching into 3D mode from gfx card to monitor has gave him the rest. It was only an enginering problem from the manufacture. I’ve got a nearly same situation with the Oblivion lost Remake 1.1 Mod relaese.
I’ve jumped through a fire, gfx card adjusted fan to 100 percent, games freezed and after reboot, gfx card was damaged. But that was not a direct fault of the mod developers!
The gfx card was at his end, before i’ve started this olr1.1 session.
So that it was only an enginering problem from ati radeon.
Are you serious? This is AWESOME! Been needing a new monitor for years. Now I can let this game kill off my 1080p so I have an excuse that not even the little woman can reject!
Thank you OP! Thank you!

Yet another flat-earth-believer.
Just one question, why didn’t you just plug out the power line?
If you buy your new monitor, also buy you a new brain please.
So you have a video that shows how the game kills your monitor? How did you know that in before so that you had the camera ready?
Veeery strange…
