    Hi, First sorry for my english

    I'm using my PS4 with AW18 screen by using hdmi-in but Screen is too dark despite I pressed Fn+PgDn key to maximum brightness.

    And also I switched to RGB full in my PS4 option.

    I googled for a day to solve this problem but still no luck.

    I tried two cheap hdmi cables(abt 5$ ones)but both are just same.

    I can see someguys playing PS4/XBOXONE with AW's hdmi-in at YOUTUBE and they definetly has brighter screen than me.

    I was wondering If you could tell me some solution or Hdmi cable model name
    If you has no brightness problem with your AW's hdmi-in.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, But it seems to happen not only with AW18. Because I Have seen many guys has same problem with other Alien models(still no solution only without buying eecolorbox which is laptop lcd controller device and very expensive).
