SUMMARY If I rotate my screen, my monitor becomes super bright for few milliseconds, and then turns back to normal. It only happens in HDR mode. I'm aware that it may hurt my back light of my monitor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Rotate the screen via kscreen-doctor or System Settings. OBSERVED RESULT The screen turns super bright for a short moment, and then turns back to normal. EXPECTED RESULT Just like SDR mode, the brightness shouldn't change.
