Washed out display on external monitor

Project Member Reported by nerdatmath@google.com, May 3 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10635.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3416.0 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10635.0.0 (Official Build) dev-channel eve

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Attach an external monitor using HDMI - mine is
B326HK : Manufacturer: ACR - Product ID: 0410 - Year of Manufacture: 2017

Notice that the display looks fine.

2. Enable the night light flag - chrome://flags/#ash-enable-night-light

3. Restart Chrome OS.

What is the expected behavior?
The display should look the same as it does without the night light flag enabled.

What went wrong?
Now on the external monitor, you can hardly see anything with a white background, especially text. Everything appears "washed out".

Did this work before? Yes 67

Chrome version: 68.0.3416.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10635.0.0
Flash Version: 29.0.0.171

Only the external display is affected; the internal display looks fine.

Note that you don't need to actually turn on night light, just enabling the feature does this.

Summary: Washed out display on external monitor (was: Night light washes out display on external monitor)
Since updating (dev channel) to Version 69.0.3464.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit), this problem now happens all the time. I can no longer solve it by disabling the night light feature chrome://flags/#ash-enable-night-light.

Daniele, Miguel, have you seen this? I suspect this might be WAI but we should check.

Seems like this is a dup of https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=848540 "Pixelbook HDMI display "washed out" after it once worked correctly"
