Brand new P650HP, monitor has yellow tint

I have tried several color profiles and color calibration, but theres still a yellow tint ontop of everything. Took a screenshot and sent it to my old laptop, and the colors there display fine, so I think its the monitor.

Any ideas on what I can check for? So far I have had people suggest that its a backlighting issue or that the monitor cable is loose, neither of which sounds simple to fix...

Have tried :

-Updating drivers

-Color calibration

-Color profiles from other notebooks with the same monitor

-Setting the laptop to discrete mode

As an example :

You can see the green has a definite yellow tint to it.

 

What's the panel? There are some known for this.

 

According to HWinfo its a LG Display LP156WF6-SPK3

 

I set my laptop to discrete mode, restarted, and everything looked normal...and the display adapter was set to 8 bit using the "Microsoft display adapter"

But after a while it changed to 6 bit using the Nvidia GTX 1060

And the yellow tint came back

Nvidia control panel has an option to change the bit depth, but it only allows me 6 bit for some reason

How do I change it to 8 bit?

Edit : Managed to get the intel hd630 to 8 bit with an older driver, but the GTX 1060 refuses to do 8 bit. Screen colors are still off but its better now.

 

To reiterate my answer to you on Guru3D

Your panel specs specify that it is only a 6bit panel, so the drivers are correct to report it as 6bit. Any 8bit reports by MS driver are erroneous.

262K color space = 6bit (2^6)^3

 

I'd suggest talking to your reseller to get it replaced.
