Compiz on gnome (ati hd3200) display color problem

hi everyone. i've just installed arch linux a week ago. and im glad i switched from ubuntu to arch linux cause everything seems fast.
i have a problem though with compiz. when i ran fusion-icon on gnome and selected "compiz" as my window manager, my display would turn to faded light blueish color, but my windows/controls/desktop are still functional.
it's like my screen was overlayed by a translucent blueish screen. : )
i searched for the same problems around for 4 days now but haven't found any yet. so i was wondering if anybody could help me. pls.
i'm running: Gnome, on ArchLinux64, ATI radeon hd 3200
i've installed "xf86-video-ati" driver.
thank you in advance

got it working...
i installed catalyst-test driver from AUR.
sorry for posting here before even trying... : )

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
    Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

  • Display color problem - asking for a color solution

    So I have this serious problem with my Macbook Pro.
    Some months ago I suddenly saw green colors in black area's and pink line colors in white areas.
    Text on white background was extremely frustrating to read, since it was surrounded with small pink lines and flickering.
    Note this was only near max white and max black areas of the screen.
    I found out that it was due to a hardware failure, since slightly bending the laptop (!!) would remove the problem
    Attaching an external monitor doesn't show the defect, and booting in Windows 7 (bootcamp) still shows the same screen problem.
    Searching the web, it appears that it was a NVidia related heat problem, known to my model, but the offer to get it fixed for free by apple (since it was a known issue) had already run out december 2012 (!!). I think my laptop is about 3-4 years old, and the battery pretty much died on me the first year, probably due to heavy usage and the graphic card getting too hot. There are small sweat/corosion marks of where my hand are placed when typing, on the aluminium, due to how hot my laptop got. It sometimes got so hot I couldn't touch the aluminium on the top left corner near the 1-2-Q-W keys.
    Fixing my Macbook is too expensive. Just getting someone to look at it to diagnose it (without repairing it), costs a lot in my country, and we have no official apple store, only authorized resellers. I know it's probably the motherboard, because I tried to unscrew the backlid and gently touch certain area's on the motherboard with a pen, while the computer was still running, to find out where the short circuit was. I only started this kind of trying to "self service" it, because I knew how expensive replacing the motherboard would be (if that was even the issue?).
    I have multiple times tried to place something up against the sensitive area's on the motherboard, and then screw back the backlid, to put some pressure on it, which at first worked brilliantly and removed the color issue for some weeks, before it started reappearing. I think the heat from the laptop slowly makes the motherboard adapt, and the problem returns. Extremely frustrating indeed.
    I hope I can one day afford a Macbook Air, but until then, I don't want to throw more money after my poor macbook (which I pronbably can't sell anyway, like previous mac's I've owned, the day get a new. It's too worn out + battery got only 5min on a full charge).
    I think it's wisest to rather save the money for a Macbook Air, and try to survive until then. Therefor I was hoping someone could help me with a temporary solution.
    In Windows 7, using the Nvidia Control Panel to apply color management, I was able to adjust the individual color output values, and thereby remove the the screen issue! Maybe the colors are not as good anymore, but it sure beats not getting a headache after 10minutes trying to read an article.
    I tried the same thing on the mac, using Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate, but this guide is much harder to use to get a decent result (since only the last 2 options really makes a difference, but changes the colors completely, which I can't change by going back to the first color settings since then it just undos the last step I just did. I'm currently writing this with a very blue pale screen.
    I also tried to use ColorSync Utility, expecting to enter values manually, but contrary to the articles I read about using ColorSync, I cannot edit the values in the color profile I created (I can only change the ASCII text input fields). Trying to save the profile gives me the error 'The Document "screenbug.icc" could not be saved.'
    I tried to look for alternative color calibration software, but most of them required hardware, or expensive full version to unlock the settings I needed (like SuperCal).
    I hope some tech savy users out there that can help me, or at least make my life with my macbook less of a pain.
    All help is much appreciated!!
    PS: I've been a loyal Mac user since always. Few things I've learned is:
    1) Don't buy the first version of new hardware. Wait about a month for reviews, to check for issues. I had a problem with an expensive MacPro that had to be replaced, but luckily for free since it was Apple's mistake. Sometimes Apple products also get minor internal changes/fixes without announcements, to help solve reported issues from early buyers.
    3) Take care of you Mac, especially so because you can often sell your used Mac's for quite a value the day you want to upgrade. I've sold about 3 Mac's in my lifetime, for quite a gain, though I don't expect this macbook to do as well, if at all. But it's normally something to be cautious about.
    3) Don't order custom configurations from the Apple Store, if you can live without it (+ it's usually crazy overprices). I payed extra to get the NVidia GeForce 9600M, and was happy with it for the first couple of years, but is now causing me all the problems I have today + made my Macbook worthless.
    Stick with what the default configuration if possible, as other configurations might not have been tested carefully.

    Who exactly is your comment "I am asking you to fix this problem soon" directed at?
    Remember that you are posting on a user to user forum so nobody can really help you.  If you want to give feedback to Apple, then contact them directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback.
    Also, if you have an iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 is the latest software that you can install on your phone, then there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to fix the problem if you want to install Skype that requires iOS 4.3 - what do you think anyone can magically do?
    iPhone 3G is a very old phone now and if you want to install Skype on your phone, then you need to go out and buy a new iPhone - either a 4s or a 5.  Nothing more to it.  Buy a new phone.

  • Display Color Problems

    Hi,
    I'm having a bit of a color display problem with my Mini. The display gives off this yellow color that affects everything on the screen. I have determined this is not a problem with my monitor, since I use the monitor with another computer and the other computer's display screen is fine.
    I have tried going into System Prefs and trying to change the hardware options, but I can't get this yellow screen to go away! I think it has to do with my Mini, but I don't know if it's a hardware problem, or just settings thats are screwy.
    Please help! Thanks.
    Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I'm not sure it could really be considered a fault of design when the design was specifically intended to use integrated graphics in a small-footprint system for reasons of cost, product positioning and to create an entry-level system that could be viewed as an appliance in the same way the original Mac concept was intended.
    There's been much talk about the inadequacies of this type of 'on-board' graphics system, but the truth is that other than for a relatively small group of potential users, it has so far proven to be more than adequate to the task. Indeed, the mini is clearly not intended to be used for those purposes for which the system as a whole, or any component part of it, is not adequate.
    Where the approach fails is when a component is at fault causing an individual such as yourself the sort of problem you are experiencing. But given that it's rare, it's not a fault of design so much as a fault in the specific system concerned. A fault that should be rectified of course, but not met with a redesign of the system to accommodate changes at the cost of a sensible entry-level price point and maintaining a coherent product range that does not compete against itself.
    Apple's typical response to a problem of this sort if it can be shown to be a problem with the mini itself would be to replace the logic board since that is what carries the graphics sub-system. However, if you find when testing the system with other displays that the yellow cast isn't present, it may simply be that your monitor is not fully compatible with the mini rather than that any specific fault exists. For that reason, I'd urge you to test other displays if that is possible.
    Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

  • Aperture 2.0 second display color problem ... possible bug

    Hi, I am running a Macbook pro 2.4 with a Formac 2010 as the second monitor.
    Both monitors are calibrated with an Eyeone display and coloreyes software.
    Since installing the aperture 2.0 trial my Formac monitors colors are off.
    Colors on the Macbook pro are perfect, but the Formac has to much red in it (peoples faces have a yellow orange tint and reds and oranges are over-saturated)
    I have tried re-calibrating 8 times, with various settings (standard is d65, gamma 2.2, 120 luminence on both monitors, with no joy.
    I did not have this problem with Aperture 1.5.6, colors were a perfect match.
    I have tied reinstalling Aperture 2.0, deleting all preferences and starting again ... still no luck.
    If i export an image to Photoshop, the colors match the macbook pro screens perfectly (when viewed on the Formac display)
    I can even drag the exported image in photoshop to the second screen in Aperture and view them one over the other. Result ... the photoshop image looks fine but the Aperture image is over saturated...and that's on the same monitor at the same time.
    Next i reverted back to Aperture 1.5.6.. guess what, all colors match on both screens.
    I can only think that there is a bug in aperture 2.0, what else can it be?
    Can anyone help me out, i am loving 2.0 but if i cannot view the colors correctly then it is no good to me.
    Thanks

    Just to clarify, the colors on my macbook pro are perfect, it is the
    formac second monitor that has the color shift problem.
    I understand the colours look bad on your Formac
    Aperture 2.0 is not recognizing the second monitors color profile
    So what profile do you suspect it is using?
    As this is the monitor i mostly work on (better gamutt etc) it is a
    problem.
    My workaround is to shut the laptop lid and work solely from the
    formac monitor.
    My guess is its using the MBPs profile for both the MBP and the Formac which is why it looks bad. So if you load the Formac profile to the MBP, maybe it will use the Formac profile for both the MBP and the Formac. Yes, the MBP will get bad colour, but the Formac may get it's good colour back. Then at least you could navigate on the MBP screen and edit on the Formac screen, rather than having to close the MBP screen. I'm not saying it will work, but I would give it a try as a work around.
    -Najinsky
    Genius .... spot on Najinsky
    Did as you suggested and it worked.
    Formac monitor is definitely using the macbook pro profile.
    Exported an image to cs3, then dragged it back over the fullscreen aperture version and hey presto.... exact color match.
    So many thanks for your help
    Now, why am i the only one to notice this, all i need is a few more bods to have the same issue and then i can sit back and wait for apple to sort it.
    If i am the only person with this problem, then what is wrong.
    I just ran diskwarrior in a last ditch attempt to see if i have something amiss on my system.. still no luck.
    Come on people, how are you getting on with your second monitors?
    Could it be to do with the pro app updates?
    Any ideas on my next move.

  • Display color problem

    Hi there, I have noticed that the color (how it handles brightness) of my own iMac is very different to that of other iMac's. My machine will also not let me create a calibrated version through the system preferences either, an error ocurrs.

    tried performing a hard reset and also checking that you are up to date with the latest firmware for the device? else you will need to liaise with your nearest Nokia Care location as the phone needs inspection.

    Is nothing interesting there in "advanced settings.." ...
    @as***: yes.. volume is OK on TV ;) ... and yes... When I play movies on TV, pic are OK but no sound.
    It's really frustrating... I've reinstalled drivers many times and now I don't see HDMI Output in Realtek Manager and also have problem with voice generally. Today I had a pic on TV and sound was playing via Laptop (at least). I thought it's working somehow finally but when I tried to change display settings to "Extend desktop" I've lost sound. It was working with when was using cloned displays. So when I've change that, in sys tray I can see a message like "no output sound device is installed"... So I tried to change display settings back to original (cloned) but I have the same error now....only default windows sounds are played via laptop. Reboot of laptop didn't help. Have no idea why it was working for few mints...
    do you know what drivers should I use? that are tested and working with this model?
    Update:
    ..I found out that the problem described above appears when HDMI output is recognized in Realtek Manager and is set as default output. So when I can find HDMI in realtek Manager, i have a message "no output sound device is installed" in sys tray.. however, default windows sound can still be played via laptop... If I could change default from HDMI to Speakers, I should have be able to play also movies sounds via Laptop... However, I can't change it... not sure why
    Update2:
    .. ok.. when I disable HDMI driver in "Computer Management -> Device Management", all sounds are go thru Laptop... At least, I can have good pic on TV and sounds from laptop... However if you know how to make sounds play via TV as well I would be veeery happy ;)

  • Compiz with Gnome?

    I don't have any WM installed as screenfetch says (I find it weird because I have shadows, but whatever). I want to install Compiz, but Gnome crashes when I try compiz --replace in both terminal or Alt+F2. screenfetch also displays Clearlooks as my GTK theme when I really have Adwaita. I had Clearlooks when I was on Xfce, maybe it's just making a holy mess. How to install Compiz?
    Thanks for your attention, already solved 1/2 of my problems with this forum!

    I used compiz with Fedora 15 Gnome (3) successfully.  After installing compiz, there was an option at login to run gnome classic with compiz or gnome 3. Haven't tried running compiz with Fedora 16 Gnome, but it can work.  The conflict I believe is between the gnome 3 shell and compiz.  The previous poster was correct in saying the default window manager for gnome 3 is clutter/mutter.
    I believe with Arch gnome you would want to start gnome in fallback mode to use compiz.

  • Color problems in photoshop cs5 and bridge

    Recently, whenever I open images in photoshop or view them in Bridge, they look desaturated. In Bridge, they load normal at first but after a couple of seconds, they become desaturated and I can't figure out what the problem is. I have all of the same color management settings as before, the only difference on my computer since the colors stopped working was that my computer installed windows updates. The images look fine when viewing them in the Windows viewer, and in other programs like ACDSee, etc. It only looks like this in Adobe programs. I checked in Bridge under Creative Suite color settings, and it is under North America General Purpose 2. In Photoshop, I checked color settings, and all of them are marked as convert to working rgb, cmyk, etc. Any suggestions?

    The monitor color profile tells Photoshop and the other color managed programs how your monitor displays colors. Color profile files are installed by putting them in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. Then to assign or confirm a color profile for your monitor, you use the Color Management control panel. Under the Devices tab  when 'Use my settings for this device" is checked, the color profile currently in used is the one which name ends with (default). For example 'Dell U2410 color Profile, D650 (default)'.
    You can download the color profile for you monitor from here http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R279694&formatcnt=0&libi d=0&fileid=413637
    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R279694&formatcnt=0&libi d=0&fileid=413637
    it downloads a .exe file which is simply a decompressor like .zip files. Run it, and in the folder you will find a file with the name DELL-U2410.icm - his is your monitor color profile from Dell. However most likely Windows has already installed it for you.
    Now, given  your situation, you may have these eventual problems.
    First problem.
    Your monitor is a wide gamut monitor 102% of NTSC and Windows defaults at sRGB which is about 70% fo NTSC. NTSC is a color space representing the visible spectrum and is used in monitor specs for measuring the gamut.
    Assuming that for some time you didn't use a color profile which more closely represents your monitor, Photoshop was displaying images on your wide gamut monitor using the default sRGB color profile which represent standard gamut sRGB monitors and this is very different from yours. Said in other words you were seeing one thing on your monitor while Photoshop was assuming it is another thing. This becomes a problem when you convert from one color space to another and display or reproduce the image on other devices, and in your case when monitor profile is changed to a very different one. To fix this you have to assign your correct monitor profile to the images that were created with the wrong profile and then convert to a common color space like sRGB, AdobeRGB, etc. Assign and Convert to profiles are in the Edit menu.
    Second problem.
    The color profile from Dell may not be representing correctly how your monitor displays colors. Dell creates a profile that is not measured to your particular unit but for what they assume is an average representation of the monitor's model. Using it, you depend entirely on luck. I have u2711 and I was very unlucky. If you are curious you can study my case which may be also very educational for you and will be able to see clearly the difference between the colors of my monitor and those the Dell color profile represents. Follow the same instructions above for downloading the color profile for your monitor but download the one for u2711 from here
    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?releaseid=R247058&formatcnt=1&libi d=0&fileid=365277
    then go to that web site from your link http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm and download my color profile that I'm sharing there. It is 'Dell U2711 Spyder 3 + Color Eyes DP   User' once you have the color profiles files on you computer, go to this site http://www.iccview.de/content/view/3/7/lang,en/  , upload my monitor profile and the one from Dell and compare. That web site will give a 3D plot of two color spaces in a 3D viewer that you can navigate to see it from all sides (using the Ctrl, Shift navigates faster). The difference that you see made it impossible to create even simple images for the web using Photoshop. I convert from AdobeRGB to sRGB and when Photshop assumes that my monitor displays colors the way they are described in the Dell's profile, all detail in the shadows is eliminated and my images look like crap. I even got better results from creating a profile using this free software http://www.calibrize.com/ it uses the so call eyeometer relying on your eyes for feedback and although the colors were noticeably off, at least the shadow detail was preserved.
    Hope that helps

  • Bridge displays color images as b&w

    I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
    This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
    Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW,  I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
    This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
    But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display.  I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

    ssprengel wrote:
    Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least).  If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
    And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
    Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw.  Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
    A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
    Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W:  the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W?  Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
    NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
    When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
    No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
    A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
    It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
    As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
    Progressive
    Optimize
    Embed Color Profile
    And I use Embed Color Profile.
    Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
    I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
    **** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
    Right Click  (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
    menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
    "Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
    I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
    Image Settings
    Camera RAW Defaults
    Previous Conversion
    Custom Settings
    and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file.

    I imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com.  The color  of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer.  It looks horrible in Lightroom 4.  My monitor is callibrated, the import develope setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments".   I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not.  I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color.  What could the issue be?

    Yes, that certainly looks like a problem with the Lightroom rendering. Skin tones and red in general is clearly off, while Windows Photo Viewer looks good.
    I'm almost certain this is a problem with the monitor profile. As troubleshooting, try to set sRGB as monitor profile (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is wide gamut), and see if the difference persists. But try to recalibrate first.
    What calibrator and what monitor?

  • Dual monitor setup color problem in windows.

    Hello.
    I've CS5 Standard running on Windows7 64 laptop with additinal monitor.
    Both displays are profiled with ColorMunki Photo spectrophotometer.
    The problem is concerned with the way of displaying images when project is dragged between monitors. On primary monitor (notebook display) image look ok, but it changes colors when dragged to the other display.
    This problem also shows in InDesign, while Photoshop works perfectly.
    To my eye it looks, that Illustrator uses the same display profile (connected to the system primary display) and uses it for both available screens.
    Is it known problem? Is there any solution?
    Regards

    Well, so it's the real shame...
    If I cannot force application to use profile of "serious" monitor to display colors means that I have to swap system's main monitor to the second one.
    And it means real mess, whenever I take my laptop without second display...

  • A color problem in Apple's publishing App

    I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
    There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
    When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
    Above：Image 1
    Above：Image 2
    And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
    Above：Image 3
    Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

    As far as I can see,  the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
    I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer)  in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
    Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend  to  give different colour hues.
    A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is  transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

  • U430 dull display colors

    I got a new u430 touch. Everything seems great except the display. I get the feeling that the colors are washed out and no black levels. Tried a simple test http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php 
    Unable to see the first 5 black squares. Poor contrast. These are visible in my 5 yr old dell vostro. Is a dull display and lack of vivid colors on u430 normal? Pretty disappointed since display colors are very important for me. Surprised how even a latest display is not vivid. Can someone advise what my options are? Does only U430 suffer from this problem? Are there any calibrations that can fix this to some extent? Are there any lenovo laptops with good display under $600

    Did you find a solution? I've got mine rigged to a really old monitor - shamefully the display on that is miles better than the U430 - feels totally washed out!!
