Computer monitor becomes darker when screen shows colors that aren't bright?

[SweetShark]

I have a SMB2330H Samsung monitor and I have this giant problem:

When for example I am watching a movie, and a scene pops up where the colors are dark, (such as the night sky, a cave etc.) the screen dims darker, making it almost impossible to see.
So I can see these parts, I have to close the full screen so that the borders of the webpage( which are brighter example white) make the screen brighter.
I guess to detail it, when my screen has bright colors that maybe 60% is bright, the screen remains "lit and bright" but when it has dark colors the screen becomes even dimmer.
Why does my monitor do that, is it with all monitors and is there a fix?

Do you have a setting called 'Dynamic Contrast' on?

Dynamic contrast basicly dims/lightens your screen to give a better contrast ratio. Unfortunately it'll often ruin films with very dark/very bright scenes.

To fix, disable Dynamic Contrast.

This. It's supposed to make up for the terrible black levels that LCD monitors have, but I guess in your case it's making it worse.

On my Samsung monitor at work that setting is under Magic Bright in the Picture menu. My Hanns-G monitor at home calls it "X-Contrast". I think pretty much every newer monitor has something like that, but you can always disable it.

Indeed, I went to catalyst control center [CCC] and I disable this f*cker right now.
Should I must now restart my computer to work?
I am asking cause the problem is still here sadly....

I hate dynamic contrast. Such a stupid feature that only artificially creates massive contrast ratios so suckers read the spec sheet and think they are getting some sort of amazeballs super contrast monitor. Instead everyone gets a load of shit on their eyes until they disable it.
