    Hey guys need a lot of help, my laptop screen (out of warranty) has a problem where when I am using the laptop sometimes the screens looks washed out....

    It is very random while I am using it and there are not very many signs as to why this happens.

    Anyone else face this challenge?

    Thanks

    I'd google for a same resolution calibrated icc profile or try calibrating it myself.

    You might want to check the power management settings.

    Actually I did try to find it online, and I was not able to, I did sent it into Lenovo before it was out of warranty to see if they could fix it, but it didnt work.

    Hopefully it is a software issue, but it doesnt seem like it is...

    I have tried all the power management options and that didnt help either.

    Is it an integrated GPU version, or does it also have discrete graphics?

    Change your Intel GPU settings to maximum performance (instead of max battery) and see if that changes anything.
