I was trying to get sensors working, so i ran the command $ sudo sensors-detect. While it was running the "Safe" probes, my monitor flickered a few times and when it settled, the image was slightly off. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong, but it's slightly fuzzier and slightly lighter. when I run the command again, it seems to switch back and forth between two states, both of which are slightly different than it was before. It happens during this probe:
Next adapter: i915 gmbus panel (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x4f
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75A'... No
Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS75'... No
Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS1621/DS1631'... No
Probing for `Maxim MAX6642'... No
Probing for `Texas Instruments TMP421'... No
Probing for `Texas Instruments TMP422'... No
Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No
Probing for `NXP/Philips SA56004'... No
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, it seems to be a hardware issue, because it's changed for other operating systems as well. The computer in question is a laptop, so manually changing color levels is out of the question as far as I know.
Edit:
$ lspci | grep VGA

You could include the output of the command into your description.

Edited with info, let me know if I should include anything else.

The sensor interface seems to be treating the EDID/SMBus from the monitor as if it is a regular sensor.

I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

My intel card w/ sensors-detect detects the EDID the same though, and I do not experience these isues.

I think the significant part is that it has an 8/10 confidence that it is not a hw monitoring chip.

Also, it might be noteworthy that the NVidia card is never switched on during the process (optimus w/ bumblebee).

So I was doing some research on i2c, and i ran the command $ sudo i2cdump 2 0x4f, after running $ sudo modprobe i2c-dev, which while it was dumping the registry values faded through different settings on my monitor. Restricting the dump to $ sudo i2cdump -r 0x60-0x91 2 0x4f left the monitor in (as far as I can tell) the condition it was in originally. This is not persistent, however, and resets for different operating systems/reboots of arch.

i2c was what I was trying to remember.
i2c-tools i2c tools that used to be part of lm-sensors.

Did you guys ever resolve this issue? I have the same one on a Lenovo y50

Your monitor should have an "auto-config" or "auto-adjust" button on it or in one of its menus. Try that first.
Also, necrobump.
