I can see a big difference from that top picture. You can adjust the color of your laptop's screen. Go to the nvidia driver panel and adjust the "Digital Vibrance" slider on one of the tabs...I think that will help. There's a lot of color options in the NVidia drivers, you can adjust the colors to be warmer for sure.

I changed all the settings all over, nothing came close.

If anyone has a 9300 could you check those images and let me know?
I wanna see if I should be thinking about returning.

I can't have the colors off soo much...

BTW this is a LG J9662 as per my invoice.

No, you're not crazy. That's a great picture to show the difference between the Samsung and the LG. I get nice warm sepia tones on the Samsung, and it looks almost monochrome on the LG. There's a lot of gray scale info that's lost on the LG, too. I can clearly see the tip of the bottom center leaf and the stem to its left on the Samsung. Both are black on the LG.

I am very suprised at the diffrence here.
The black and white looking LG (what I have) vs the maybe more real color of the Samsung.

Here is my problem.

On sunday I leave the country for a long time.
Should I call dell and try to get this replaced before then.
Is it even possable.

Also... they haven't even billed me yet, I was under the impression that they billed right away. Part of me whats to see if they ever will :P

They can get a part out to you overnight if you can convince them that you need a new LCD because your plant looks sick

Could you, or someone else, who has a Samsung put my desktop.jpg as the background and take a picture for me?

Heh kind of troublesome but if anyone is willing to do it, I would give much thanks.

9300 LG on left, 9200 Samsung on right. Might look different on an actual 9300 Samsung, but it captures the tones difference pretty well.

So is it supposed to be black and white or not? It looks black and white on my 9300.

Doesn't that look like the difference between 9300K and 6500K color temperatures?

I dont know which display I have, but it is going back. I just played EQ2 and couldn't get the colors straight. I cant really describe what is going on, but the colors are just not different, it is like they all blend. I see the sparkle thing too, I dont really care about it though.

Certainly does look like the colour temp is different.

The LG looks a bluer kind of white, a lot crisper and sharper.

I must admit, from the photos, that LG to me looks loads more appealing! Your desktop LCD looks pale and weedy in comparison, like not bright or sharp enough.

Thanks dellbert!

The samsung does look more like my desktop.
I played around with a few more images and it does seem the LG just tosses out lots of gray.

The image should be a type of sepia not black and white.

One of my favs for pictures and I can notice this on other parts of the LG too.

The xp menu bars almost seem to have lines for the colors and not the blended look you see on a CRT.

I thought the same thing too, but when I view the image on my i9300 it looks black and white. Not nice to look at, at all. Are you viewing it from a 9300 aswell, could mean we are seeing a completely different look then them.

I'm using a 17" CRT with a 9300K colour temp.

Now you mention it, it does look almost like the photograph image on the Dell has been taken with night-vision and the flash on (aside from the actual reflection of the photo-flash on the glossy wuxga screen when he took the picture of the Dell).

Maybe I just like blue-r kinds of whites. I do find blue-white (colder) images a lot easier on the eye than green/yellow-white (warmer) images, when viewing on a monitor, hence why I use a 9300K colour temp.

However, the actual real image posted (the last large one), on my monitor, looks fairly similarly to that on the Dell, but does change radically when I alter my own CRT colour temperature to be 6500K.

Do LCDs have colour temperatures accordingly?

I used adobe gamma program to chance color temp but it didn't help.

I am about to call and have them send me a replacement, I just can't have pictures looking so diffrent. When I edit on my laptop it needs to be the same as the real life photo.

I will say there are NO sparkles on this screen, and if I wasn't into photoshop and digital photography I might not have noticed the diffrence.

Greens and color pictures of flowers look fairly good, until to really look at the small details and see where the LP just ignores some color.
