Whenever i switch my TF2 to 1280x720 or any res that isnt native, the gamma seems to be raised and my crosshair and game overall looks very bright and super vibrant to the point that the crosshair gets almost 2x as thick. I would show you what i mean with screenshots but when i take a steam screenshot ingame it comes out looking normal. Does anyone else have a similar experience and by any chance know how to fix it? Thanks for answers i wanna play on low res plz ty

play around with values of -1, 0 or 1 for r_shader_srgb maybe?

didnt do any difference sadly, ive tried configuring monitor settings and playing around with nvidia stuff but nothing seems to make a difference

the crosshair thing is just a thing that tf2 does. if you ever watch old fragvids recorded in 720p the crosshairs are huge. you can play around with cl_crosshair_scale and make it smaller. adjusting it by multiples of 4 is best for clarity

the brightness settings are monitor gamma, try adjusting your monitor resolution in windows to 720p and see if it considers that native

EDIT: i fixed the issue, all it took was just a clean reinstallment of my graphics drivers
