Video Color Saturation

Hey everyone, my videos keep playing back in low color saturation (almost in black and white) when I try to play them back on my computer. I've tried MP4 files and even a MOV files with movie maker, video player, and even tried PowerPoint. Does anybody
else have this problem?

 

Colors become less saturated while watching video.

The colors of the video are usually duller that expected. The colors remain less saturated, unless I move the webpage around. This issue occurs for every online video player I use. I've also seen this issue on every web browser, from Opera to Edge to Chrome. (Real 4K HDR_ TCL Four Basic Colors in HDR - YouTube - Google Chrome 2023-04-16 13-14-22.mp4)

Let me know what I can do to fix it.
