    I have a new XPS 15 (left) and XPS 17 (right). Both are 1080p and at full brightness. The camera distorts the picture a bit, but the XPS 17 whites are fine. The 15 is tinted though, definitely not close to pure white. Anyone know what might be up? http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh611/ihbgs/DSC_0029.jpg

    Simplest and most likely explanation would be that it's just a lower quality screen.

    Could also be color calibration?

    My 1080p doesn't have that off-white (almost orange looking) tinge that yours does. This is with the Spyder2 calibration profile out there.
