    Hi,
    I just got my M17x R2 today, and im having some issues with the colors on the display.. they dont look right, like the gamma is too high or something.
    Also, it shows up everywhere, on the BIOS on Windows, when I disable the drivers, etc... The colors are way off.. :/
    Any help?
    Thanks!

    The photo will show right when you look at it, because its the colors in the monitor. It's like the LCD is not calibrated or something... :/ I dont know how to explain it.. the colors are just too bright..

    That's just the way it is. You'd have to get used to it or you can temper your catalyst settings to make it better for your eyes.

    I found some good settings on the nVidia Control Panel (I have dual 285's) but some games reset my color settings, for example, when I pause the game. Is there a way to lock these settings in so apps and/or games cant change them?

    PS. sorry for double posting, im trying to bump the thread because i really want a solution to this problem, i mean, its a $3000 computer right? xD

    Thanks all!
