    Just curious what your honest opinion is on the colors the laptop screen produces? I found this thread with a guy using a different color profile (wonder why?) I'm guessing because he found the same issues I did.

    I just picked this laptop up from best buy, I'm comparing to my sony s15 with IPS, and the colors stink on the sammy IMO. I think the viewing angles are just find for working on the laptop screen, but to give an example. The first page I fired up in chrome was >
    Mobiletuts+ | iPhone, Android, Windows and BlackBerry mobile development tutorials.

    I loaded the page on my sony, the samsung and my desktop with external 24" 245bw samsung monitor. The external monitor and the sony both looked almost identical with colors, the top header was 2 shades of brown (obvious). Looking at the samsung screen, you can hardly tell it's brown on top, not compared to the other two anyway. I am not a crazy "colors gotta be perfect" type guy, but this was glaringly obvious that the screen was just not producing colors where it should.

    Thoughts from owners out there? Any fixes?

    The colors that the laptop screen produces, even with garrettwp's color profile (which I am currently using) are too cold/white. When comparing them to my calibrated Dell Ultrasharp desktop monitor, things aren't too bad (it uses a wide gamut still) but after editing in Lightroom I have to manually make batch adjustments to get everything correct. I haven't calibrated the laptop myself yet, but it is off from the factory.
