Hi all. I just bought a new laptop (Inspiron 15). The colors in my LCD appears a little different compared to my old Inspiron’s screen. I don’t know if I could get it right. The old one showed all the whites with a bluish tint. The new one looks soft and the whites are not bluish. It appears just white. I searched for a while and tried the default calibration settings, but I couldn’t get it back to the cooler temperature. Is this a normal thing? How do I set it like my old LCD display?
It appears just white.
I really have no idea what you are referring to. Could you be more specific? If you are talking about the display temperature, then a laptop LCD probably would not have any settings for that. Maybe you can try checking your integrated GPU’s control panel. If not, maybe it’s the LCD backlight. Different models have a different LED backlight and it may vary.
Yes, I am talking about the display temperature. I tried all the gamma corrections in the control panel + Intel panel, but I can’t find the temperature correction menu. It could be the model. The screen itself is soft.
Wait… Soft? You mean matte? Okay. Here is the thing, LCD screens come in two different types.
- Glossy
- Matte
Your old LCD might be a glossy one and that’s why it shows everything a little brighter and more vibrant. Probably your new laptop might have a matte screen. Matte screens usually have an anti-glare coating to prevent any annoying reflections. And hence the warmish perception. You will get used to it. Indeed, less blue light is actually good for your eyes.
Seems I need at least a few weeks to get used to this. Thank you.
