    Hi!

    I recently purchased the zbook 15 with DreamColor display, refurbished, and the screen kinda just... sucks... I know I should probably get it seriously calibrated, but holy heck this is not nice to look at! I have the green/red tint in the lower left corner and red on the lower right. It's so noticeable! As someone who is a professional photographer and uses this machine for editing, this is not acceptable! Is there some way to fix this? Anything I find is just folks warning each other about how much customer service sucks. I called the guy who I purchased this from about the loose plug on my power cord and I haven't heard back! After spending $2500, I am pretty dang anxious and upset about this...

    Dang plug doesn't even stay connected to the brick! It just loses AC power every now and then, and I have to jam it back in.

    My 2009 Vaio has a better screen at this point! :(
