    on my asus g1s, whenever i connect my laptop to my sharp, my laptop always has this weird color change, like green things are too green, red things to bright etc etc.

    is there any way to stop this? everything goes back to normal after i disable dual screen.


    8600mGT is the card inside the g1s

    seems to be a driver issue... perhaps try upgrading/downgrading your driver and see if that solves the problem...

    i dont think its the laptop, it is most likely the screen. Does your sharp screen have any brightness, contrast, gamma settings which you can change?
    Most likely one of these settings is shifted, causing the color change.

    You know its not the graphics driver if the colors look fine on another screen.
