Screen turns yellow screen

Question

I am facing a problem in my dell inspiron 5370. Since i have purchased it, the display is yellowish.

While browsing google chrome or desktop wallpaper it is very yellowish.Is it a hardware or software fault ?

One process that I followed that fixed my new XPS 13 2-in-1 - is to run color calibration per monitor: Open control panel Type 'color' into the search box Open 'Color Management' Select monitor (better if you just disconnect from any dock and do this only with the laptop) Go to 'Advanced' tab Click on 'Calibrate display' button Walk through all of the calibration to the very end, making sure to adjust RGB sliders as the last step - make sure to lower the R and G below while keeping B value maxed out.  Adjust until you like the correct 'blue/white' tone and save.  I find that I like it if the G is slightly below R and both are below B.

I purchased inspiron 5491 recently, and facing the same issue. Screen is very yellowish. Is it a hardware fault?

Same bloody problem...

I guess that is what you get with a 300 nit display- nice res, lousy whites.

But with the new windows 10 gray fetish of low contrast borders-it makes for hard reading even if you are 20/20.

My old IBM thinkpad x120e has a white display.

Here is what I found helped a little.

Like the master poster above:

1. Turning off battery mode, setting the brightness higher batt mode helped slightly.

2. In Device Manager I noticed the monitor for this guy is just "Generic PNP monitor."

3. Try setting up a new color profile to increase the whiteness of the screen. Adjust the R,G,B settings to make it as white as possible.

4. Adjust the screen angle shallower to optimize white.

5. I suspect as a light researcher, the gamut of colors on this display is rather suboptimal--would use stronger words. It might help if Dell provided a real driver for this display instead of relying on Win 10.

I despise too much gray and thin lines. Steve Jobs would have had a few choice words for this display.

I just received a new Vostro 7500 (1 TB SSD and Nvidia 1650 Ti with 6 cell battery). I'm very disappointed that the display isn't very bright and also has an unacceptable yellow tint. I've tried adjusting the brightness and the display color calibration without success.  I've never experienced this issue with any laptop display or desktop monitor.  This is unacceptable.

Open the Control Panel.
In the top left corner of Control Panel, type Color Management. In the list of results click Color Management.
In the device drop down menu, choose the monitor that has the yellow tint.
Check Use my settings for this device box. Click Add.
Choose sRGB Virtual Device Model Profile, then click OK.
Left click on the new profile you just added then click Set as Default Profile.
