    Today i just found out my M17x-R1 LCD look more yellow compare to my friend's M15x LCD. I tried to calibrate it with Win7 calibration tool, after half an hour it looks brighter but still yellowish.

    Is there anyway (another calibration tool, a specificed profile...) to make my LCD look more nature?

    The Nvidia or ATi drivers have manual color correction.

    I know they have 1. My issue is just no matter how i config, the LCD still looks yellowish. Is that what M17x-R1 LCD should be?

    compared to the WLED LCD in the M15X, a CCFL backlight LCD *will* look more yellow. WLED backlight LCD's are just able to more clearly reproduce A pure white color.
