XPS 15 - Color Saturation on LCD
I know a few people have brought this up already so I apologize for the duplicate issue.
I just replaced my XPS M1710 (sad to see it die) with an XPS 15. This machine is great except the color saturations, particularly with Red, are insane. The color red is so intense (saturated) that it borders on painful to look at.
I've looked at every setting I can think of but can't find a way to tone it down.
Any thoughts? Dell...please dont tell me to change my theme settings for Win 7!

I think I found the solution:
Try opening Windows Mobility Center and going to Default Display Color and setting it to "Generic Color" instead of "Splendid".
This fixed my issue and I'm shocked Dell tech support couldn't suggest this before taking over my computer and uninstalling then reinstalling video drivers. SMH...
I went from wanting to return my new XPS 15 to loving it with a click of a button.
Let me know if this works for you as well.

After a call to the tech support group they managed to help me tweak a few settings but its still not quite right.
I dont understand why every other laptop I've purhased has been perfectly calibrated from day one and I am stuck with this. Now have a serious case of buyers remorse but don't want to get hit with a restocking fee so I guess returning is out of the question.
Anyone have any suggestions?

You can try this to see if it helps.
Windows 7 has introduced a new feature called Display Color Calibration wizard that helps you get your display colors just right.

I don't know if it will help but it is worth a try.
