    Hi! I've recently purchased a vaio fz with the nvidia 8400m gt GPU, and the machine is awesome, but the colors are way off! green seems to be the dominant color and it's almost imposible to work with it if not in full brightness (in full brightness it is a lot better), but one level of brightness down and everything goes so.. "green".

    I read on other forum from a guy also having the "exact" same problem. but noboy gave him a solution.

    Right now I'm downloading a new driver (laptop2go) and will see the results... but anyways, have anyone experienced this? if so, how did you solve it? what are the best drivers for this machine?

    The screen is an xbrite hi color but i can't even use it to it's fullest potential

    Thanks!
