    I recieved my Computer a few days ago, and the RGB LED looked amazing at first but now the colors are starting to bug me. I may of improperly calibrated or the default settings are just bad.
    It kinda makes me sick at looking at the colors being so bland or so off the proper color.


    Anyone know any ***FREE*** ways to properly calibrate this...It's really starting to annoy me.

    Use the windows Color Calibration tool in the display settings. Or find custom Color calibration profiles done with others using the RGBLED. I can say with some certainty that the panels are fairly similar accross the dell lineup. You can check out the Studio XPS Color Calibration thread that has links to other profiles.

    You can use color profiles or adjust them with the CCC like I have mentioned in another thread. The link to it is in my signature, just below my computer specs.

    +1 on crylo's calibration settings.. I'm using his settings now and I found them to be the most accurate so far.

    I would recommend starting with the thread: RGB LED Calibrating! (M17X-R2).

    After following some of the instructions in that thread, I am VERY happy with the result.

    Good luck.

    Yeah that's the thread I linked Crocs to from my sig. I have Catalyst Control Center calibration settings on page 2 of that thread. People seem pretty happy with it.
