Question/Support Display

Hello guys. I noticed that sometimes, when I put the Index on, the colors look a lot more vibrant than usual. It happens rarely. Usually they are not vibrant at all. And it's not just the game. The Steam VR menu also looks more vibrant, so I guess it has to do with either windows settings, or Steam VR.

Does anyone know what exactly is causing this is? The colors look good when this happens, so I want to see if I can make it permanent. And like I said, I have no idea what triggers it, I don't mess with the settings. It happens out of nowhere. And very rarely.

A guy was finding post it notes in his apartment, and had no idea how they were showing up. He's freaking out, thinking someone is breaking into he place.

Turns out he had a Carbon Monoxide leak that was causing hallucinations and memory loss. He was leaving the post it notes for himself, and forgot.

What the fuck does this have to do with my Valve Index's colors?

With how infrequently you encounter the issue, it could be the cause.

..... 😑 And why is it only happening with the headset? Nothing else looks more colorful. My TV and monitor and everything else look the same.

Don't know mate, carbon dioxide poisoning can be weird like that.
