X220 Screen Color Problem

Hi have a serious issue with my X220 IPS screen.
after replacing the screen under warranty (flickering) everything was working perfectly.
Then after a couple of month I took my x220 out of my carry on luggage and a band of about 5 cm on the right side of my screen was behaving weirdly (at the beginning it was intermittent but it became soon a constant, stable, problem)
Better than any description you can see the problem by looking at these images:
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3 (Good part of the screen)
Figure 4 (Bad part of the screen)
Looks like some of the dark colors are inverted...
What do you think the problem is? LCD panel? Connector cable? MotherBoard? Graphic card(Integrated intel)?
looking forward to hear your opinion and SOLUTION!!!
Thanks
Andrea

It's actually not problem of IPS screen, but the problem is with the original non-IPS screen. Lenovo's screen is severely blueish, it has a very bad color accuracy. If you are adopted to the original screen, you will find IPS is warm and not accurate. But I can assure you if you search for benchmarks about the IPS screen, it is a perfect screen in terms of color accuracy. Although not as good as Apple IPS, it has the same level of color accuracy.

My G5 iMac has a screen color problem. The color is green with lines. What can I do to repar this? Sometimes the screen will freeze and I have to reboot the computer and the screen will be normal for up to 5-6 hours and then suddenly changes back to green

Try running in Safe mode. This leaves out some video drivers. Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware.

X220 IPS Screen Color Problem (red is orange)

Hi Guys,
Just received X220. Excellent one ! However, I am having some problems regarding color accuracy. Screen seems more warm. Red tends to be orange and green appears more yellowish. I came to know that this is a generic problem for IPS ( HP ENVY 15 also has this issue). Does anyone notice this? Is there any fix for it?

X220 jpg color problem

Hello,
Am using X220 Windows 7 for few years with no major problems.
Recently while trying to print jpg files the colors became totally different. It seems to be unrelated to the printer device itself (and actually the picture is displayed with totally wrong colors once going into print mode).
Example: 1/ jpg photo is displayed correctly in Windows Photo Viewer. 2/ In the "print window" the reduced photo will show already in wrong colors. Never mind which printer is chosen. 3/ print itself will be with wrong colors. Same is correct for all printers on the list, incl. pdf printer.
Color management show that the default profile ("Lenovo Thinkpad LCD Monitor, TPLCD.icm") is being used.
I believe it is the same as was used all along when the problem didn't exist.
Note: Windows updates are applied regularly. Also Lenovo's (important) updates were implemented periodically. Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you for your answer John!
PDF was created in Illustrator CS3(not by me)
I imported PDF to Photoshop and save as a JPG(using option save for web),(I have sRGB option unselect)
I tried viewing file as CYMK, RGB...not difference at all after saving as JPG, still there is color difference....
In Photoshop CS3 I have color setting:
After your advice
I re-saved PDF with new settings as you said, the result is better but still colors are a bit different.
Thank you.

Photoshop Elements 8 - is anyone having a problem with the screen color ?

I just installed Elements 8 & the screen color has 2 choices:
DARK (Black screen with Black & Grey text)
LIGHT (Dark Grey screen with Black text)
BOTH of these are VERY difficult to read & some text just dissapears into the background.
After speaking with the tech at Adobe, these are the only 2 choices (Dark & Light) I have.
Neither choice is worth the eye strain.
Is anyone else having the same problem ?
Has anyone found a solution ?

Thanks again. I use 125% on a 23" widescreen Acer monitor. The menus display on both the PSE7 and 9 Editor but not on the 7 or 9 Organizer. For both Organizers, I get a blank space where the menu should be - and at the right of that space, the tiny, double-arrow drop-down is nearly invisible. On 7, I slid the Edit/Preferences/General/Appearance/Brightness control to the far right in order to see the drop-down arrows. But even so, clicking the drop-down then scrolling down to select the desired menu is a nuisance. On Organizer 9, I have not been able to find any Brightness or other window-color adjustment in Preferences or in any menu option, so the drop-down arrow is extremely difficult to see. Even if the menus were visible, as with the Editors, the dark grays and blacks of the windows strain my eyes. PSE has some great features, and 9 is beter that 7, but I don't want to use a photo editing app that is visually difficult to navigate. Please let me know if there is a fix for the menu display or the window brightness/color.

Hi pcarq007
The Yoga 3 Pro has a "paper display" setting.It's meant to help you read stuff (reducing eye strain) giving the display a yellowish,book page like tint.
You can turn it on or off by pressing "Fn"+"Esc".
Let me know if this solves the issue.

Hate screen color in Elements 9!

I just upgraded from a much earlier version of Photoshop and cannot tell you how much I HATE the dark gray screen color with light gray font in Elements 9!! I've looked at the Preferences as well as all the other menu options and am unable to find any way to even change the screen to the lighter gray mentioned in another thread as an option in Elements 8. Is there some way to change the screen and font color?
I upgraded today and, in addition to hating the screen color, I am already sick of signing in every time I open the program or go to another screen -- what if I want to work offline (which IS what I prefer)? Is that even an option? Believe me, I am regretting having paid for this upgrade. I never had these kind of problems with the earlier version I was using. Grrrrr!

Thanks. I've now changed the welcome screen setting to have the editor come up behind it and then closed the welcome screen after opening the program. Looks like I now don't have to sign in when I open it. Since I can barely read anything on the screen unless the light is just right, I'm getting a headache from eyestrain, so thinking I had to sign in to use the program was just another frustration.... I appreciate your reply.

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

I have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
Now the problem ,
I set the automatic brightness option OFF
I move the brightness to HIGH
Then I lock the phone
When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem.
I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful
Nokia , please help !

I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
--> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
--> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
Awaiting for the response.

Lightroom 4 color problem

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?

Pavilion gv laptop colors on monitor color problem

I'm having color problems on my laptop. While the colors on my screen aren't terrible,most of the color/textures appear washed out and muted in comparison to other laptops I own. I've tried adjusting the brightness and calibrating the colors but it didn't fix the problem. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Thank you for your help.

Hey @crawford810 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the colours on your notebook look muted.
Could you please tell me which notebook model you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
For an issue like this you will want to test an external monitor to see if the issue is coming from the display, the GPU, or from Windows.
You will want to make sure your GPU and BIOS are up to date. You can download the most recent drivers and BIOS at the HP - Drivers & Downloads website.
I look forward to your reply!

Screen color saturation

I am having a problem with the screen colors on my macbook pro (15"). All of the colors on my desk top are completly over saturated. It looks similar to the way my old PC used to if it went into "safemode". I have tried color calibrating, the display profile selected is color LCD calibrated, I have changed resolutions too and this made no difference. I dont know what occured to have this result, my battery was almost drained when the problem happened, although recharging did not make a difference. At the time I was trying to access a maxtor external hard drive. Also when I switch user accounts on the mac, the problem is not present on the other user account, I guess it must be a setting on my account but cant find it.
Help?

Check the settings in Universal Access. Specifically, look at whether enhance contrast has been selected and increased. If it has, move it back to normal.

How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes. How can I reset the color resolution? This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost". The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover. ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there! Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone. But, the screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution. Can any one share a suggestion?

With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
Good luck & happy computing!

Color problem, black 'noise' on specific colors

Dear adobe users,
At the moment I have a problem with a few specific colors within photoshop CS6, on top of my original colors you'll see a black noise effect. Some effect you'll suspect when you've turned on a different color mode. But i'm working with the normal RGB/8 color modes which shouldn't be a problem. If i save this document to a JPEG and open it with Windows Preview, the color problems dissapear. Funny thing is, if I get my color picker and hover on a black spot on my original document, the right color shows up in my color picker and not the black color I see on my screen.
What can cause this problem? Tried google to find the problem, but no luck so far. Driving me crazy as this isnt really working for me. Thanks for the help so far!

I'm guessing you have an ATI video card and have updated to Catalyst 13.1 (or gotten the WHQL driver through Windows Update).
Catalyst 13.1 has a problem properly running Photoshop CS6's GPU-based Adobe Color Engine. Basically if the red channel reaches 0, all color will be blacked out.
A workaround that retains most of your GPU functionality but avoids the problem is this: Change the Drawing Mode to Basic in the Advanced Photoshop GPU preferences. Restart Photoshop after making the change.
A possibly more acceptable workaround is to completely uninstall Catalyst 13.1, then seek out Catalyst 12.8, specifically, on Adobe's web site. 12.8 works quite well in Advanced mode.
