    Hi,

    I've bought a genuine AUO B156HW01 v.4 (matte FHD screen) and also a cable to use it on my l502x laptop (that one from ebay).

    After install it all works great but the results are not so good as many people said. The colors are so strong/brightness. For example that blue (from skype) https://community.skype.com/skypec/...dernWindows_archive/13418/1/skype probelm.jpg is so strong compared with the one produced on my dell u2311h or u2415 (but the color is similar). The same happens for the that windows 8.1 orange color which is like a torch for my eyes on that screen: https://www.itechtics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/pale-Wallpaper_Windows_10_HD_2880x1800.png

    I'm a little disappointed since everyone says that AUO B156HW01 v.4 is perfect. And now I prefer my HD glossy one. The strong colors produced by the AUO B156HW01 v.4 are not comfortable for my eyes after some hours.

    I've modified the color managment profiles and also tried some profiles over the internet. They modify the colors and gamma but the colors are still strong. If I decress or incress the brightness it's not a solution since is like to regulate only the backlight (which is not the problem).

    Does anyone have the same problem or understand me?

    Thanks

    I don't have that model laptop, but you should be able to find a setting that helps in either the 'intel hd video' window or the 'nvidia' window.

    For the intel window, select display - color - advanced, and then there should be a slider for saturation. Try setting this at -15 or -20.

    If it is controlled by your nvidia drivers, select nvidia control panel - display - adjust desktop color settings, then there will be a slider for 'digital vibrance'.

    Both of those sliders should remove the color intensity from the screen without significantly changing the brightness or gamma.

    Ok, great. Well the problem that I've seen after moving saturation , contrast and all options is that the screen has a backlight which is to yellow compared with my glossy HD. why?
