    Hi guys,

    I'm using an external monitor via HDMi which is an ASUS and the external one seems fine but I expected my alienware screen to be perfectly calibration out of the box (not sure if this realistic). Anyways, i tried using the lagom website and calibrize program but things still seem abit weird, flesh color and photos seem abit reddish, i tried reducing the red Gamma via the intel graphics settings but things still seem abit off. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I have the same issue. Was thinking of returning it and getting a 1080P instead...

    I think it has to do with the technology of the panel (IGZO), on a review I saw that problem being described.
