    My Envy has been acting up for a little while but I haven't given it much attention but it's seems to be occurring more and more frequently...

    The color of the entire screen would fade, pretty drastically but it will often come back within a few moments. Not a big deal but it's something I'd like to resolve.

    I snapped a quick pic and took a brief video to possibly diagnose the issue -- Linked is the PIC -- please do note I'm running Flux so there's a slight 'yellowish' tint on the screen

    -- that said the eBay logo is Neon Green (as seen in the pic) where as it's supposed to be Dark Green... the dark green color comes back after a few moments but it's still a noticeable issue.

    Thoughts on what the cause might be / how I might be able to resolve it?

    Are you on battery power? The screen is known to get brighter and darker gradually on its own accord when on battery and Intel graphics. If that's not the case...then I dunno.

    Happens to me on Intel (battery or not). I havent been able to figure out a fix, but I think its something in the Intel settings that does it. Probably to save power. Try running Intel at Balance performance in the Intel Control Panel.
