    Anyone know a way to adjust the panel color temperature? (like on a desktop monitor). Im thinking there is no control or way to actually do that, but I was hoping there my be some software somewhere. AND YES I KNOW about destop color settings and video settings. But those wont change the color in say a GAME. I like a warmer color than what it is now in game. I know nothing about color management profiles, so Im not sure (kinda doubt) they would chage the overall color output. never used those profiles. Im not needing perfection like a photographer or anything, I just want to warm my whole output up.

    You should be able to adjust it with your nvidia control panel.

    thanks but read my post again. do you really mean I can adjust overall color with Nv control panel? Im not aware of any control like that in there.
    All I know of is desktop color, and video color(meaning media). Apparently, 'desktop color' dose control much, like IE, bowser windows, etc.
    But it has no affect on Quake Wars, and presumably any other 3d games.
    With a (decent) desktop monitor you can change the color temperature
    to warmer (reder) or colder (bluer). But I cant find any way to accomplish this on the Gateway P-7811fs laptop
