Faded screen colors or bad gamma on Thinkpad

Hi! I've recently bought a Thinkpad and one thing that I discovered is that the LCD is not as vibrant as the other brands on the market. So what I did was uninstalling the drivers and intalling it with Intel's and then the colors became as good as the other brands. This lasted for several days until I went into the display properties again because I wanted to see the gamma settings then suddenly the color reverts back to the faded bright display again. Has anybody noticed the same? Is there a way to solve this issue because I don't think it's really a hardware problem, but more of the IBM's display driver? Any suggestions

I bet the issue is more with the actual screen than the graphics card. I had two A31p's. One with 14 and one with 15 screen. The 14 was dull and lifeless and the 15 was brighter and more vibrant than brand new Mac Powerbooks. I love my 15 screen computer, The 14 I don't. Yet they are the same computer.

Gamma settings

You could try the different drivers. My gamma settings stay the same after I change them. Could be the driver or registry problems on your system. Which system do you have?
