    Anyway to fix this? The colors seem to be not as vivid as they should be. It seems as though there's too much brightness, but the colors are a bit flat.

    No, the colours on your notebook are most likely much to bright. I have calibrated my notebook screen with a Xrite Colormunki Display calibrator (as well as other PC and MAC displays), and the colours are much more natural now.

    Alright, sounds good. Wasn't too sure if it was an issue or not. Thanks a lot!

    Which screens color do you consider off? The computer, or the tv?

    Are you using an Nvidia, ATI, or Intel GPU?

    If you have an Nvidia GPU you can change the color, brightness, contrast, gamma, etc by launching Nvidia Control Panel. Under "display" there is an adjust desktop color setting, under "video" there is "adjust video color setting", and "adjust video image settings". You can try adjusting those. You should be able to select each of your displays in those sections and adjust them independently. If your tv is the issue you can adjust it from your tv directly too.

    I actually adjust the colors on my TV itself. On mine i can pick a different setting per input so for example the HDMI in have my computer hooked up to i set that to Game, vs THX i have my blu ray hooked up to. Then adjust contrast, brightness, sharpness etc. Play around with the TV settings to see if you can get it to look better.
