    Colors dull and washed out


    The colors on my Lenovo Yoga C740 are washed out and dull. I tried to calibrate it but that didn't work. Is there a fix for this, or is it just my computer?

    :)

    Colors became washed-out/dull after GPU driver reinstall.

    I have RTX 2060 GPU and after reinstalling graphics driver a couple times in an attempt to fix black screen issue, my screen colors became washed out... blacks aren't as dark as they were, and colors not as vibrant as before. Everything is dull, including
    games, desktop, etc. I never set custom color settings before, always default. I have a color-accurate monitor and want the colors to be as accurate as possible.

    I checked nvidia settings and they are using full dynamic range, not limited. What is going on here and how to do I get my colors back?

    My laptop automatically updated to windows 10 last night, now the colors seems washed out and dull

    Hello

    thanks for the answer, but it think you didn't quite understand my query.

    My problem is the colors of everything being dull and washed out, for example is a picture lets say, before the update, the colors seemed more vibrant, after the update, the colors appear to be dull and washed out, like the color green isn't as vibrant
    as it appears on the picture in this laptop with windows 10 compared to the same picture in a windows 8.1

    It has nothing to do with the windows 10 theme at all, it seems like my screen shows colors not as vibrant as before, if you still don't get the query, kindly just tell me how to get back to windows 8.1, this bug is interfering with my work.

    Thank you

    Colors dull and washed out

    Awful washed out colors in Windows 10. Happens intermittently

    I wonder why nobody has suggested the OP to make a screenshot of display showing these "washed out colors"? Everything I have read in this thread suggests that the issue is not in Windows, but instead in display / monitor.

    My suggestion: next time you'll see these washed out colors, make a screenshot and post it here. If the screenshot shows us that colors are OK, then the issue is your monitor failing.
