dell 700m lcd white is not white anymore ?

What a bummer! So I left the laptop on overnight in standby or hibernate mode, and when I woke up in the morning, I noticed that my windows desktop didn't look as sharp anymore.

When I look at white pages I can notice that its not fully white, its sorta creamy looking instead. I can sort of tweak the brightness / and other color settings from default to get it closer to a true white , but the tweaks makes my screen dimmer than previous. I don't understand what could have gone wrong, it was working fine on default settings before. Anyone else have this sort of problems?

Sucks, I've only had the laptop for a month and a half.

Mmm. Try running the Dell Diags, there is a color test in there.

ran it, a lot of it depends on user interaction, so it passes or fails based on my opinion

i guess return and replace is not an option anymore but at least try to call Dell Tech and see if you can get a replacement screen. Its still in warranty. Right?

how are you seeing white? i can't tell the difference...i would imply some other things that made your screen creamy color...stop downloading porn and you might see a whiter screen.

have been having mine on nearly 24/7 and don't notice that the white isn't white.

try adjust color balance in intel graphics properties. That might help.... or adjust the brightness or contrast.

i can tell because im very picky ; p and before my laptop was brighter and whiter than my CRT's, now its not in either sense. I can tweak the color settings to make it whiter, but that usually means lowering the brightness, so my screen isnt as bright as it should be anymore. I think ill hang on to it for winter break, and see if i can get it replaced next year.

Turn off the machine for a while. Keep in mind the heat generated from the components does eventually lead to damage to the LCD... shouldn't have been that quick, but just a thought.
