    Hi all,

    I am an owner of a Toshiba U400-12U laptop with an Intel 4500 hmd GPU & driver (latest Intel driver). Also, I run Win 7 RC.

    I want my tft screen to show more saturated colors, but the Intel driver and util does not seem to have such an option. On my desktop pc with ati cc driver, there is an option called Avivo.

    Does anyone know any 3rd party software to establish this?

    Thx

    Control Panel, then "further options" (or whatever its called), you'll be able to select the Intel Driver - and that shoud give you a control panel which allows you to set all display options...

    I know about that control panel but it has no option to alter saturation. At least Intel has not.

    And manually changing that wouldn't give you the expectd results?

    Sorry, what do you mean by manually adjusting?

    There only is an option to alter contrast, brightness and gamma.

    Do you know if there's a third party program to alter saturation of color in windows?

    Sorry, I don't know of a programme to do it, but manually adjusting contrast, brightness and gamma will get you closer to the desired result.

    Also, you can always click abort to get back to the original settings - or "reset" - if you wanted you can write them down.

    You can always try :)
