Lighting and colors change, for the worse, when in fullscreen mode.
The title pretty much sums it up. Whenever I enable full screen mode my graphics settings completely change. The brightness goes way up and the shadows get so dark that if anything is black you can hardly see any textures on it. Also it ups the saturation on yellows and such as well.
When not in full screen mode (windowed full screen) all the colors, lighting, etc. look perfect. So I know it's not just me being an idiot and having the wrong display settings on my entire computer. Also I will not play in windowed full screen mode because all of the textures and edges in game look terrible.
I have a Dell G5 5500. Brand new. Nvidia + Intel graphics.
@bckhsims I see it now, and those lines are pretty bad. Other people with the same issue have fixed it by using these Control Panel settings, together:
Antialiasing - FXAA: On
Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
Antialiasing - Mode: Override any application setting
Antialiasing - Setting: 2xHowever, it's a good idea to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the Nvidia graphics driver first. Your dxdiag lists several errors with one of the drivers (those are the LiveKernelEvent 141 errors), and you already have the newest one from Nvidia. Download Display Driver Uninstaller from here:

Download the newest Nvidia driver offered from Dell—with laptops, it's a good idea to use the driver(s) provided by the vendor rather than going directly to the card manufacturer. This driver is new enough that it should be perfectly fine, and you can always install a newer one later, if necessary.

Next, take your computer completely offline—disable wifi and/or pull the ethernet cord—and double-click the DDU.exe. Take note of where the file will land, and click Extract. If it's easier, you can copy the path and then paste it into the address bar in a File Explorer window. Open the folder and then launch Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, and you'll get a message that you're not in Safe Mode. Click OK, then go to Options and enable Safe Mode dialog. Here's a screenshot of what your options should look like; make sure the box in red is checked:
Close options, and the DDU, and then open the DDU.exe again. For launch options, choose "Safe Mode (Recommended)," and then click Reboot to Safe Mode (you'll need your password, so find it before rebooting). Once you login, you'll see this:
In the blue box, choose GPU, then Nvidia if it's not already showing. Then click Clean and Restart (red box).
Once your computer has rebooted, now back in normal mode, run the driver install .exe as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."
Reboot again, go back online, and change the Control Panel settings to whatever you want; they may have been reset to defaults with the clean uninstall. Then see whether the game works normally. If not, let me know.
