    Horrible saturation and colour contrast on my new Acer Aspire 7 15".

    I just bought it, and I am sorry to say, I am not very pleased. The screen is so muddily bright and the viewing angles are so poor that I can barely see anything. The screen is almost yellowish. Now I really miss my old HP EliteBook 8760w, which had beautiful colours.

    I messed around with GeForce Experience for a bit, maybe this changed colour contrast and saturation, I don't know. I've reverted to using the default Intel UHD 630 drivers, but the problem persists. Is there any way to fix this? It bothers me to the point when I'm considering a refund. The rest is otherwise fine, but the screen ( aargh) is an abomination.

    Here is a photo comparing my laptops' screens, so you can get a better idea about my frustration.
