    It's not a huge problem, but it is quite annoying when you can notice it. And I can notice it. -.- So basically my monitor will go from normal to a darker tint then go back to normal. It's not a drastic change but it's weird. It only happens when I'm in a area with alot of black. I've tried degauss and changing frefresh rate but nothing seems to work...any suggestions?

    how often does it do it? is it random, or only when there is a lot of black on the screen?

    It mainly does it while I'm on my desktop, which you can see here. I noticed it doesn't start to do it after I first boot up. It takes a few hours before it starts to do it. Restarting doesn't fix it. And it doesn't do it constintly. It only does it for a few seconds, stops, then does it again later. It's completely random, I'd say. It also does it in a 2D game I play called Infantry. I only noticed it in there because it is a slow paced game compaired to all my FPS. I havent really noticed it on them, but it probably does do it in them. I'm almost sure it's not a video card problem. My monitor has always done this come to think of it. And the card has been replaced 2 times due to bad ram (my luck!).
