Yellow teint instead of white after driver update :(

Hi everyone,
just updated my videodriver from the "old" 169.28 to 174.93 on my m1730 to find out that my whites have gone yellow in there color. I have no clue why, the only thing I know is that I've tried it installing other newer drivers, like 174.82 and 174.74 and they all gave me the same problem.
I know how to install drivers the correct way, so it's not that, but I'm at a loss in this case. Does anyone have a clue?

 

I forgot to mention, that this teint sometimes disappears for no apparent reason, to reappear after fx. a restart.

 

This is really weird guys: When using another screen as my primary all colors are fine, and when turning back to my laptop screen they're fine again as well. But when restarting, they go yellow again.

 

It sounds like a hardware problem to me.
The fact that it first showed up when you changed drivers is probably coincidence.

Agreed. Also, if the external monitor is ok, then it is most likely your lcd....

 

Luckily i've ruled out that its a hardware problem, because the screen is doing just fine on the old 169.28 driver. Its when I try those other three drivers, that I get problems.

 

the 17x.xx drivers are desktop sli drivers and personally i would not use these for anything other than a desktop beacause they are built to add fetures that are not supported by your gpu anyway, so there is likely to be any benifit, infact you may get a decrease in performance due to this overhead.
also while the 16x series are also locked on dells these where built with laptop gpus in mind, so they will work. however using desktop drivers is a kinda dumb, and i think laptopvideo2go (im assuming thats where you get em from?) really needs to explain some of the different series better than one sticky post on an obscure forum.
but bottom line, stick to the 16x.xx series for laptops until further notice.

 

Ok thats a big load off my mind, thank you. So is no one reaking any benefits from the 17x.xxx drivers? Just seems weird that a laptop driver forum is uploading these files, and they don't really do any good.
