    Hi all. I've been experiencing some problems with my Z13's screen lately. At times, the screen will experience a very awkward shift from being normal to being insanely over saturated (So, the red, yellow, green colors of the google chrome in the taskbar will appear as pink, orange and turquoise.)

    This only seems to be happening when I'm using the computer on stamina mode, and usually occurs shortly after the computer recovers from sleep (or even just a brief pause with the screen turned off). The effect lasts for a few minutes then it seems to fix itself after then. Shutting down the screen (i.e. closing the lid, opening it again) will not solve the problem, the screen is still oversaturated and washed out when I turn on the screen again.

    Any of you guys have experience about this?

    It's the intel graphics power saving technology.
    Turn it off and it will go away.
