Whenever the computer restarts or the monitor comes from standby or being turned off the contrast/brightness will fluctuate in certain situations. With the fullscreen video where this happens it stops when the video controls or cursor is visible, and also when the OSD is on. I need to turn the ACM setting in the OSD on and off in order for this to stop in the current session. When ACM is turned on the brightness goes up so it's not exactly like it is enabling itself despite the OSD saying it's off. This happens with both DVI and HDMI connections. Is there any way to permanently disable this? It's a little similar to the issue here:
