    Hi,
    I recently purchased used and had high hopes for the display after reading how great it was.
    However after immediately watching a video, I immediately noticed how inaccurate the colors were.
    Besides reds showing high saturated, the rest of the color is completely off.
    Light blue shows as dark blue!!
    Human skin tone has no contrast at all!! Very pale even compared to an average TN panels like my Acer 2920 laptop (1280 x 800res)
    Black is too saturated that detail is completely lost in dark areas.

    I'm using my 13" 2010 Sony Vaio z 1080p 96%RBG screen as a benchmark as well as my Acer 2920. While I know the Acer display is average for a TN panel, at least the colors match the colors of the Sony panel but obviously with significantly less contrast, accuracy and detail. The Dell the other hand is completely off.

    I think it may have something to do with the calibration because it defiantly has more satiation than the Acer. Anyone notice this issues and able to solve it?
