    I recently got this computer and like everything about it except for the bluish display. I looked around for how to change the color temperature but I don't think that's possible.

    Is there a color profile or something I could load to help with this?

    Thanks

    Does it display externally blue? Perhaps you need professional color calibration software. Windows has one built into the OS...just click the Windows button and type in the search field calibrate display color.

    I'm not sure what you mean by externally blue, it looks like it's set at 9800k.

    I've tried messing around in windows 7 color calibration, and it helps but it seems like sort of a half way of calibrating, since I don't know if it's staying true to the colors.

    Ok do You have any setup to calibrate this screen, i know is buissnes low contrast and bad dark stuff, but even w520 with fhd panel with out calibration is not good in color reproduction.
