    I am switching from a Dell XPS 15 to the N55SF. I've noticed that my old computer had more vibrant colors, how do I change the color profile on the new computer to make it match the old?

    I can click save but whenever I restart, I have to reopen the application, click on my profile and then click on the green check button.

    You are quite unlikely to be able to manually match the color production between your XPS and N55 - too many variables in the software and other factors. You might be able to get close, but there is a more rapid and reliable solution (but you're going to have to spend some money on it) ...

    The way to solve this is to use an actual screen calibration solution, i.e. Spyder or Huey, on both the Dell and Asus. These set up the color profiles to a defined standard, which adjusts all of the factors so that a consistent (or nearly so) color profile occurs regardless of the hardware involved.

    I know I won't be able to match it. The new question of this thread is how come my ASUS Splendid settings don't hold after I restart.

    You can try increasing the saturation setting of the Intel 3000 graphics. Worked for me.
