[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 927114, member: 78686"] Update: I have found out the culprit behind my washed out video color on YouTube and possibly other sites too on Chromium browsers. It's AMD's graphics driver which is responsible for this. AMD are always known to be awful at making drivers for their GPUs so looks like they are still lagging behind Nvidia & Intel in this department even though they have improved over time. Check out this Reddit thread. Here users are quite disgusted & frustrated at AMD. The post itself is 6 months old, and it was also reported to AMD engineers but yet to be fixed. This is very disappointing.
