W510 - strange colors (reddish)

#1 Post by QWERTY Andreas » Tue Oct 30, 2012 2:55 am

Hi
I have a W510 with FHD display. The display is very bright, and have some nice viewing angels. However i think that the colors seems a little strange. If i compare it to my W500 the W500 colors seems more "correct" - am i wrong?

I dont have a built in calibrator and im not sure how to calibrate the display.. But its just like the colors are a little strange?

Best regards

I have a T520 FHD (same panel) and I agree the colors are strange. There is a long post in another forum, which includes a link to a color correction profile you can install. I installed the second one listed and I thought it was an improvement.

Hi, thank you very much.

I tried to install the profile, but i cant see much of a difference. Maybe its just installed wrong - so i will take a deeper look into it when i have time :)
