Hi!

I’m having an issue with colours not displaying correctly when I use the desktop app on my second monitor.

I have my laptop (Dell XPS 15, Windows 11) extended to a monitor (ViewSonic VX3211-2K-mhd). On my laptop there are no problems but when I move the window to the second monitor, the entire app doesn’t display colours properly. 

This seems to be happening only with the Figma desktop app- all other apps I’ve checked show the correct colour profile, including Figma in the browser. You can also see below that when I screenshot the window, the colours are still altered.

Laptop screen - Correct colours
Monitor screen - Colours on canvas and interface displaying incorrectly

Additionally, when I move the window so that it’s partially on the desktop screen, there seems to be a point/boundary where the colour profile switches.

Correct colour profile (Red line shows divide between screens)
Incorrect colour profile

 

This post essentially describes the same issue I’m having but the fix didn’t work for me:

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!
