ALT-TABING darkens my screen - Issues, Workarounds & Localization - EVE Online Forums

Alt+Tab causes my game to 'dim' when I get back to it

i don't know your setup

I think it is fixed. Might be a refresh rate issue. If it happens again i'll update this thread

Setup doesn't matter if it's a win10 issue.

lol. you probably have bad capacitors in there somewhere. just order a new monitor. there's tons of cheap hardware out there these days.

i bought 27" 4k monitors (well, work did, anyway) for $179/per

If by capacitors you mean brain then yeah

Think the issue is fixed, had to switch screens last weekend out of Yakuza Kiwami 2 (sometimes it runs in the background while Firefox or Discord is up on the top screen) and it was able to flawlessly switch applications. I suspect this has to do with the Refresh Rate which was standardized throughout to 60 mhz.

Ah, the old Refresh Rate gotcha. That was gonna be my next suggestion.

I might get a new monitor with a better refresh rate because 60 is the minimum for gamers. 75 might be better. I don't think I need a 300 dollar monitor that has a 350 mhz refresh rate.

bruh, it's not a f***ing megahertz. 350mhz (not even sure where you're pulling that outrageous number from) is 350,000,000hz. Some monitors are starting to pull into the 144hz + space, so you can see how ludicrous your words are.

Just grab an arm that attaches to the desk. then the monitors can hang off the side or whatever.

i would just ensure that if you do get one, you get the clamp model, and not the stand model. Assuming your desk/table is strong enough, it saves a lot of space under there. Keeping them "floating" is minty.

Is your desk metallic or wood

metallic? what is a metallic desk?

I just have cheap ikea desks. they're mdf honeycomb. They're not strong at all, but they hold up this monitor situation pretty well, though i didn't torque them down too much.
