    Hey guys,

    i thought i was crazy when i first got my UL30vt-A1. I could swear my screen flickers. when i say flicker i mean more like switching from cool to warm colors and back again. every time i scroll (basically when the screen changes) i see this change in color. it isn't a huge color shift but very noticeable.

    note that this does not happen when i switch to the nvidia card. has anyone been having similar issues? I have been trying to figure it out but have yet to solve the issue.

    any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.

    thanks in advance

    hey man,

    I have a ul80vt that does the exact same thing when on intel graphics, everything is fine with the nvidia on.

    sorry but i don't really have any suggestions for you, i thought about sending it it but it doesn't really bother me too much, might send it in later though,

    were you able to resolve this issue?

    I'm also experience the same shift in colors as you describe. Bigbill24 and homie_g, have any of you guys found a solution to this irritating problem?

    It keeps switching back to the old setting though.. any idea where I could change it permanently? I looked at P4G, but I couldn't find any setting there.

    That worked like a charm...

    ...but I'm also experiencing problems with that option resets sometimes, making the monitor go blurry again :(

    Anyhow, big thanks namaiki for your help!
