    I just recieved my dell 6000 and did a reformat immediately.
    Now after reformat, i've installed all the drivers but cannot figure out what lcd screen i have. I know i have the wsxga panel (1680x1050 res) but i do not know what driver i need to install for the colors to be correct.
    The screens dell lists are

    Dell 1505FP
    Dell 1704FPT
    Dell 1704FPV
    Dell 1905FP
    Dell 2001FP
    Dell 2005FPW
    Dell 2405FPW
    Dell E153FP
    Dell E173FP
    Dell E193FP
    Dell M783p
    Dell M993s

    I don't know which one i should download.

    if you're referring to the "display devices" driver sets, i believe those are for external monitors, not your LCD

    no, i mean the color profile for the lcd. Before i reformatted, the colors looked richer and more accurate, but after reinstalling xp, the colors are a little grey, and i know it is caused by the color profile of the laptop lcd.
    So anyone know where to get the color profile of my laptop lcd?

    sorry, i'm a little confused. the list in your original post looks like the list of drivers for dell's external monitors; notice the numbering scheme and how they relate to the size of the monitor. they aren't color profiles, they're drivers.

    are you looking for drivers to be installed for your LCD or color profiles to be installed through 'display properties'?

    no, i mean the color profiles in display properties, settings, advanced, color profiles
    all dell lcd panels come with a "driver" cd that are actaully color profiles.
    Ok, i looked at the list again, and they're all desktop lcd panel color profiles, but does anyone know where to get laptop lcd color profiles?
