    Hi, i just got my macbook today, and i noticed when comparing it to the screen on my imac, the colors seem very very dull, i was wondering if this is just how the macbook is because of the lack of a dedicated graphics card, or if i just got a bad macbook, btw i got it refurbed from the apple store if that makes a difference.

    You mean the colors are dull or the brightness is?

    Did you try adjusting the colors in the system preferences?

    If that doesn't work either, it might be something to contact Apple on.
