Windows 10: Is there any way to solve the youtube grey bars that appear on top and bottom of the video,...

So it's seems to be a problem with HDR displays and google chrome, my monitor is a LG 27GP850-B where if you take a screenshot, it turns the screenshot very bright. You can solve the problem partially by turning chrome://flags/#force-color-profile into sRGB or HDR10, but when you do so, it also makes the youtube videos get a grey bar on top and bottom. So you kinda have to choose between those two. Someone knows a way to solve it both?

Can't get Youtube to show videos in Chrome

I haven't gotteen to this suggestion yet - but, I've shut down half my Extensions and, now, I get the voice of the Youtube videos - but still not the video. Thought this clue might help.

Load this checklist video in Edge: (I'm assuming you did at least a few of these steps, since you stated you tried other suggestions earlier) Go through the list of suggestions here to try to repair YouTube for Chrome...

 

Youtube Audio and Video go out of sync in Chrome

Just as a confirmation, do other video broadcast websites have the same problem?

If it only happens to YouTube, you could refer to the following steps:

1. Delete all your cookies and cached images from chrome for all time.
   
2. Sign out of your Google account and open YouTube.
   
3. Open YouTube and click settings in the top right and sign into your account from there. (it will look really weird to do, not like the usual login for your account).
   
4. Once this is done close the tab you used to login to YouTube.
   
5. Open a new tab and open YouTube again (either through favourites or typing it in).
   
6. Sign into your account via the button in the top right corner and the issue should be fixed.

If it is common, reinstall the graphics drivers and try with a shorter HDMI cable.

Hope these are helpful.
