Monitor dimming problem.

[Kenshiin]

So I have this problem with my monitor flickering between normal and dim. I first noticed it while playing White Knight Chronicles, when I would run into a shaded area or in a dungeon it would dim the whole screen but when I'm in a well lit area it's fine. I thought it might be the game but then I noticed it was happening when I scrolled into a certain part of a dark website. So then I thought it had to be my OS causing it to flicker but I can't find any settings that would cause it.

I'm currently running windows 7 32 bit with dual monitors. The problem is only happening on my newest monitor that I bought in the fall (Asus vk246h). Is there a setting I'm missing or is my monitor shot?

Start by making sure that all power-saving options on the monitor are turned off.

Does the monitor have any sort of dynamic contrast ratio option you can toggle?

[Kenshiin]

Would the power settings be under the monitor's menu? It does have an ASCR on/off setting but after making the monitor reset it settings I can't access it. Should it be on or off? I'm hoping that the reset fixed it.

That setting appears to be ASUS-speak for dynamic contrast ratio, so definitely turn it off.
