Regarding the screen colors Windows ICM file file might help if color profile it's not applyed yet. Get it on T470 support page (monitor INF package). Otherwise, hw calibration is needed. ]]>

I guess that it's been a long time since I saw how limited the gamut is on the T-series systems. Your explanation makes perfect sense with the 45% gamut range. My other systems are the P70, T460s, and the T470s so I'm accustomed to a much better/wider color rendition ]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2017 23:16:24 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1300/3839464/3839526 harrisb <![CDATA[ Re: Reds are orange? ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1300/3839464/3839640 Fri, 13 Oct 2017 03:09:45 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1300/3839464/3839640 JaneL <![CDATA[ Re: Reds are orange? ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1300/3839464/3840070 JaneL

Could you, please, confirm the LCD p/n? ibmthink above explained how to get it . Or have a look at the registry.

Such information might help others as there are two FHD LCDs in T25' list from BOE and AUO. ]]>
