ThinkPad E440 Webcam poor display quality! Please Help

Hi all,
Anyone have the poor display quality webcam from ThinkPad E440?
This is the first timeI bought a Lenovo product: a ThinkPad E440 with i7 cpu few days ago (I am currently using ASUS UX31). Everything is great except that the webcam have extremely poor quality:
1. When I use the camera application, the photo is grainy with extremely poor resolution
2. The video chat at night not just very poor in resolution, it actually turn into Black & White at night, in the morning it have color but still extremely poor display quality. Attached photo is taken around evening, no color was detected, all in black and white......is that the normal quality from ThinkPad E440?
I have updated all my drivers again and again. 
I am not sure if it is a defect or it is buid to be that poor? How can I troubleshoot before send for repair?
Product model: 20C5CTO1WW
The webcam is intergrated camera HD720p
The video card is Intel(R) HD Graphic 4600 
Please Help! Thanks.

  • Poor audio quality - PLEASE HELP!

    So i recently purchased the Satellite C55T-A5306 and the sounds quality from the laptop itself is really low quality. So to try and enhance the sound, i bought Logitech Z130 Stereo Speakers and it STILL sounds dry and muddy. I plugged the speakers into my iPod and the sound was drastically improved, but when they're in my laptop it sounds flat. I don't know how to make the audio sound better through my speakers. Please help!
    I was thinking that if i bought an HDTV and used that as an external monitor and got speakers for my TV, it would sound better and add texture, but i'm unsure if the audio quality would still be dry from the laptop.

    Check and see if it you need to update your audio drivers and check their settings. You can check this out via the device manager in control panel. I'm not familiar with this specific model but with mine if you plug in a headphone jack it will bring up the dolby/reltek audio manager. See what kind of quality it's on and whether or not you can put it on stereo, then check your EQ's, bass, that kind of thing. Try having a CD or something going while you do it so you can hear the differences and set it to your liking. If it doesn't come up with the manager try typing in either audio or sound into your start menu's search bar and see what it gives you.
    Best of luck!

  • Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

  • HT1338 When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    The Arrangement tab only appears in System Preferences Displays pane if a second display is recognized by the system (the OS).  So it seems like your MacBook is not seeing the TV as being connected.
    Describe the video connection between MacBook and TV...  What type of video out port does your MacBook model have?  How is it converted to the type of port used on the TV?

    I cannot open my ipad 2 after update to ios 7..only the apple logo keeps on displaying..please help..

    Power-cycling or connecting to iTunes didn't fix the issue.  However the iPad did restart, trying to install the update but it didn't complete and received a error once again.  And now the iPad is stuck on the update screen with the progression bar beneath the apple.
    The error reads, "The iPad could not be updated.  An unknown error occurred (6)."

  • IPhoto 06 poor quality Please help Please help!

    I am now struggling big time. In a recent post I stated the major issues that I have with iMovie 08
    "I have increased my RAM from 1gig to 4 gig and upgraded my operating system to OS X 10.5.6 (including Boot ROM version etc.) I have re-installed iLife 08 and have installed all available software updates and am still having iMovie 08 constantly crash on me while creating a movie. It imports my .MOV files fine, but crashes while cutting footage from my iPhoto Video library in Event Library to be added to a project."
    Not being able to work in iMovie 08 I have imported some of the same footage into iMovie 06, but unfortunately it looks far inferior in quality in 06. In 08 the footage is crisp and clear and in 06 it looks soft and out of focus.
    I am working on HD .MOV files that are 1920x1080 and want to retain that same quality. At this stage it looks like neither iMovie 06 or 08 are of any use to me.
    Please help!

  • Display Settings -  please help.

    I've read all the posts on this and nothing has helped so here I go...
    I have a 13 inch Macbook Core 2 with OSX.
    I have a Acer 19"W LCD display attached using a MINI-DVI to VGA Adapter.
    The monitor's native display is 1400x900. I can get only 1400x1050.
    I'd sell my first born just to be able to scream at this thing and say "1400x900!!! I own you!"
    Someone please help me. If I spend another hour on this I'm buying a PC, and fixing the wobble in my kitchen table with my Macbook.
    Thanks.

    The display is supposed to send information about supported resolutions to the computer through the display connector. Not all displays send correct data. SwitchResX or DisplayConfigX will force the computer to the resolution you want, even if it didn't get correct information from the display. Read the instructions carefully, so you don't get the computer stuck at an invalid resolution.

  • Iernel panic plus extremely enlarged display screen, Please help urgent

    I have verified that I had a kernel panic on this Tiger 10.4 Imac. It said to shut it down but that didn't help.
    On top of that the magnification on the screen is about as high as it could go and its impossible to navigate/get bearings to even try to work on this.
    Until I get the screen thing figured out I'm dead in the water so to speak. Maybe there is an easy way to reset the magnification but it escapes me what it is and I need help with that and the kernel panic.
    I have a ton of research to do and I'm farther behind every day.
    Please help thanks.

    Were you able to figure the cause of the Kernel Panic and find reference to the activity
    involving that problem within the Console logs, or the System Profiler> Software> logs?
    Both locations would likely have some information, however cryptic & codified it may be.
    Some kernel panics are caused by hardware issues; others can be caused by some
    conflicts in software. And there are some which could combine both sources, as cause.

  • DVD quality looks poor...please help!

    Here is my question: I shot a live teaching seminar using the EX1 & Canon 5D, 1080, 30p...jib shots, steadicam...so lots of movement of the speaker. What is the best way to edit this. I formatted in Compressor the footage to ProRes LT, edited in FCP, then exported to to a self contained movie. From there I dropped the movie in Compressor, compressed to best quality 90min DVD. And burned to disc in DVDSP. When I look at the DVD on an 40" HDTV, it does not look good. Seems there is digitizing in camera movements, and doesn't look very sharp. Any advice?

    You are aware that DVDs are standard definition? That your footage is being downgraded to 720x440?

  • Poor wireless signal quality, please help?

    I am projected at getin 60Mbps for my wireless connection, but a week after geetting Infinity, the signal maxes out at 5.5Mbps.
    I am 3 miles from the interchange, but my initial speed test was 58.6Mbps download and 8Mbps upload (I was more than happy with this).
    All hardware related to the internet connection is brand new from BT, we have a new line and ther interchange is in fully-functioning condition.
    What do I do? I can't access the internet at peak times at all >.< I get a stronger signal hosting off my iPhone's 3G connection!

    What speed do you get if you use a direct Ethernet cable from the home hub to the computer?

  • T500 - poor display quality

    I have T500 with WXGA TFT LED Backlight and integrated Intel graphics and I'm very disappointed with it. This LCD
    presents very poor quality in terms of viewing angles (not only vertical but also horizontal), colors (they are somehow
    washed-out, not saturated) and contrast.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to replace this display with WSXGA+ TFT CCFL Backlight or WXGA TFT CCFL Backlight.
    Will they give better results?

    If you would like ThinkPads with better displays, might I suggest that you please take the survey?
    Thanks!
