    Anyone else notice their M14x has really washed (light) colours when coming out of sleep mode? I have to maximize a window then minimize it to fix it, but that's annoying.

    I reinstalled Windows 7 but have the correct video card drivers, so I dunno what could be the problem.

    i have the 900p screen, and when booting up, and it shows a black screen, it just doesnt look as black as it should be. even my cheap netbook seems to have better contrast.

    Even my 720p is ok, I've double checked right now and I don't have this problem...

    This might just be a problem with the 900p screen then.

    May be hard to tell, because this is a pretty subjective topic...

    Iv had this happen to me a few times, not only on my M14x(900p), but also my old M11x R2. I always thought it was just my eyes adjusting... x.x
