Screen dimming when playing a video

Hello,


I have a problem I cannot figure it out. Recently, when I'm playing a video (Youtube, Dailymotion, VLC and with each support), my external display dim immediately. It seems to be OS-related, so I search in the various parameters, without any success.


I'm using a BenQ monitor with a brand new one Mac mini M1.


Do you have any idea ?



Thank you for the support. :)

Mac mini, macOS 11.5

I found the problem !

It comes from color profiles, only if selected via my display : by changing it from Preferences, I have no problem with other profiles like Apple RGB, Display P3 etc.


Im gonna dig this. Thank you !
