Hi all,
I have got a Samsung LED tv at home and I have hooked up different computers to it through out the years. One thing I noticed is that for every machine I have connected to the TV I always get a different color calibration (color tone or whatever you want to call it). All the machines are connected via either an HDIM or a DisplayPort cable and they are all using some sort of Intel graphic. I only Windows 7 across all the machines.
In theory, they are all using the Intel Graphic driver and I always use the default calibration setting; through a digital signal output I should expect a 100% identical color output right? After all, the digital color signal being transferred should be the same. Yet the fact is every machine has it's own characters of colour:
1. A Dell latitude E4300 with Intel 4500mhd over display port to hdmi cable - This gives the best color. Bright, vibrant and accurate. Easy on the eyes as well
2. An HP Pavilion DV5 with the same 4500mhd over hdmi to hdmi cable - Colors are bright but a bit washed out compare to the Dell
3. An Acer E3 notebook with GT520M/HD4000 graphic over hdmi - I disabled the GT520m and only use the iGPU yet the color was quite off. The blue has a strong purple tint and looks horrible.
4. An Asrock Q1900b-itx board with Bay Trail J1900 - The hole screen looks slightly darker and all the colors are a bit over-saturated.
Until this day I still have no idea what made this happen. Ideally, I would love to make everything look like the first Dell laptop. Could it be different version of the drivers?
It would be great if you can shed some lights.
Thanks.
