I sometimes see images have distorted colors, though when I try to take a screen shot, the colors appear to be normal. The image on screen is always distorted though. I've updated all my drivers, checked loose cables, and am using a display port. Tried shifting the monitor's settings, but it's still there. I'm not sure what else I can really do to fix it.

Monitor: Acer Nitro xv272u kf 

GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070

CPU: i9 - 10900k @ 3.70GHz

System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

This is what I see on screen when looking at a photo of something. Below it is when I try to take a screenshot of it, the colors are normal.

    ..So I enabled HDR in both the monitor and windows (previously both were turned off) and the color distortion seems to have stopped. I'm still unsure of why this was happening in the first place though.
