    Anyone else have problems with the color purple? Mainly differentiating on hyperlinks and sometimes in games.

    The screen does only have a 45% colour gamut. I heard there were some custom colour profiles floating around that made it better.

    Haha I will rep you no prob. Yes, I use the same ICC profile and I really love it. Had problems with auto-loading at Win startup, but solved it. When I unload it, everything seems very cold blueish. +REP

    This profile made my screen more red. I am trying to lower the green aspect in the screen, not increase red.

    I tried that ICC profile before too, but wasn't happy with it. I've learned to live the short-coming of the screen on the M14x. I hardly notice it anymore.

    It's so sad because my dell e248wfps are so nice you would think that the newer panels would be much better...

    What if you try messing around with the Intel HD Graphic Properties? By increasing the Saturation in the Colour Enhancement tab under Display? Because I think the default saturation is too low, and also try Skin Tone Enhancement and Adaptive Contrast Enhancement in Image Enhancement tab under Media
